Momo Glassworks GC-229 Afloat Pendant

Afloat is part of the ADRIFT collection. The figures in this design are carefully cut with brass sheet to express a dream of flying people, like a Chagall painting.

I use 3mm transparent glass in an asymmetric shape here, painting in between and collaging with metal inclusion. Some of the pendants in this line are one-of-a-kind and some are production -- this is a production design, which means Edo and I make it repeatedly in small batches of 20 or so at a time. Therefore, expect slight variations from what you see in these photos, as every piece is inherently unique.

The bail is silver-plated brass with a lacquer finish to protect it and to minimize tarnishing.

Dimensions: 0.75" x 1.1"; 19mm x 27mm

About Momo:

We met in Andalucia. Partly because of a dog. And we traveled all over Spain that first year and as we went we read a book out loud together called "Momo."

Later on, when we started working together and putting names to things, the title of that book resurfaced, bubbling with meaning. If you'd like to know why, you should read it yourself. But without giving it away: It is an allegorical story that asks big questions about work and time and modern life.

We haven't figured out the answers to any of those questions yet. But the asking of them guides us from one day to the next as we make these tiny little things and hang them on your ear to wear.

NOTE: The dichroic glass used in this design varies from silver to silver-red. Also, there is variation in the pattern used from piece to piece. In other words, may not look exactly like photo!
