Let’s make everyday Earth Day, through our mindful actions caring for our planet, our home. We offer these earth pendants, hand crafted in our studio, as a symbolic reminder to make this a year round event.

Questions or requests?
With dental tools and magnifying glasses, Pam carved the image of the earth, backwards, into a plaster mold. White clay is cast into the mold to create this feather weight image of our world. Pam hand paints the continents, with a green underglaze and covers the oceans with either a pale blue or turquoise transparent glaze, to recreate the jewel like appearance of our planet.
This pendant comes as a shallow domed disc which reinforces the love for our home.
