This is the first time I’ve made a piece that represents 3 generations of a family! This mama contacted me for a custom Grandmother pendant… in her words:
“Mom is 77 years old and she raised two daughters without a partner, and then was …quite involved with my older children, who were nursed full term, homeschooled, and other things that people said were “impossible” for a single parent family to accomplish before there ever was such a term as “attachment parenting”. I can only imagine what it must have been like for her to nurse an 18 month old in the ’60s and to educate us outside of school hours without any LLL meetings or homeschooling/afterschooling support groups. She had two children, but my sister died childless and I have four kids. My oldest daughter was named after my late sister and resembles her very much, so they should probably be the same colour. I think having Mom at the top embracing all of us would be most appropriate. Would this be something that you could create for us? I absolutely love your work.”
