Mabel the Pet Ghost

Mabel is the small one. She knows it. She does not care.

She hovers in a round of resin over a dark floral, all deep plum and near black with the blooms half swallowed by shadow, the way a garden looks at dusk when you can still make out the shapes but not the colors. Her tail frays into soft wisps at the bottom and one small gold detail catches at the edge of the frame. At three quarters of an inch she sits right at the hollow of your throat, which is exactly where a ghost this size would choose to be.

The bezel is a reclaimed vintage link, gold toned, 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. Mabel found a good spot.

She is a pet ghost, which means she is low maintenance in the way only the dearly departed can be. No feeding, no walks, no opinions about your schedule. She just comes along, sits quietly at your collarbone, and keeps whatever you tell her.

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 she is gone, she is gone.
