Barnaby the Pet Ghost

Barnaby has something to say. He has always had something to say.

He floats in a round of resin over a dark floral, deep plum and near black with pink blooms opening up around him, and his mouth is caught wide open like he turned to tell you one more thing on his way out of the room. His tail falls in long pale ribbons underneath him. At an inch and a half he is the loud one of the litter, the ghost you notice from across a room before you notice anything else you are wearing.

The bezel is a reclaimed vintage link, silver toned, with a twisted rope edge, cut from an old necklace that someone else wore first. A ghost is a thing that stays behind, and so is a piece of jewelry that outlives the person who chose it. Barnaby got a frame worthy of the performance.

He is a pet ghost, which means he is low maintenance in the way only the dearly departed can be. No feeding, no walks, no opinions about your schedule, though he would happily offer some. He just comes along, hovers at your collarbone, and holds the floor.

From my studio, part of the Spooky Glen series, a limited seasonal release of five little ghosts who each wandered in with their own coloring and their own attitude. When the season closes, the Glen closes with it. Once he is gone, he is gone.
