Gravestones made in the late 1600s to early 1800s offer delightfully imaginative artwork.
To create these necklaces, I chose a stone with an image or name that appealed to me. I photographed the stone and recreated the artwork. That artwork was then etched into a solid brass disk which I patinated and polished. A pearl is added to symbolize passage through the pearly gates of heaven. These necklaces combine my love of genealogy with my love of art. Below is a listing of the names and images I am currently making, from Maine and Massachusetts. If you have a special request, please contact me! These make wonderfully personal gifts and are great for family reunions. | |
