Chores ᐧ copper pennies (Charm 5)

Unique to this season of Chores is a series of silver and blister pearl charms, made by Queens-based sculptor, Nicki Cherry.

Each charm features a blister pearl held firmly — yet incredulously, as if defying the laws of physics — in place by sculpted silver. The unique silver clay process behind their union carries with it a record of touch and fluid motion solidified in time, each unreplicable, even by its maker.
