“What a curious feeling!' said Alice; `I must be shutting up like a telescope.'

And so it was indeed: she was now only ten inches high, and her face brightened up at the thought that she was now the right size for going through the little door into that lovely garden. First, however, she waited for a few minutes to see if she was going to shrink any further: she felt a little nervous about this; `for it might end, you know,' said Alice to herself, `in my going out altogether, like a candle. I wonder what I should be like then?' And she tried to fancy what the flame of a candle is like after the candle is blown out, for she could not remember ever having seen such a thing.”

These Alice planchette moths are far smaller than the other moths in the collection (read more about them here): a jewel of protection for the things & feelings { both external & internal } that make us feel small, that shrink us down in size. I try to make peace with my contradictions: the desire to be unseen/unknown reclusive and quiet, but at the same time, desirous of getting my work and writing out of myself and into the world. Small feelings > Big feelings & all the mess and hard-earned beauty in between.

Twin Alice Moths guard a slightly convex magnifying glass: a portal to the other world, an invitation for curiosity- to investigate, examine and observe.

Magnifying lenses magnify the small things we are unable to see clearly when placed beneath the glass, acting as a large, powerful ‘eye’. While the glass is fully functional as an object/tool, as a talisman it urges its wearer to look closer, to see/feel the invisible: whether that be by examining our feelings and our Shadow with a deeper gaze or turning our sights to others; to mindfully ‘see’ our friends, lovers, family, and community: to foster a deeper sense of empathy, to spark the current of transformation.

Both pendant and bar link chain are sterling silver, hand oxidized to achieve our shade of stormy gray and then highlighted to reveal the bright luminous silver beneath.
