Birds were a fascinating part of my growing up. When I was a girl, we used to raise a few chickens, mostly Rhode Island Reds and Flying Bantams and we'd collect their warm eggs in our hands. My dad's pigeons flew in clusters around and around our house and over the years, we kids rescued many a wayward chick that had fallen from its nest. Now, birds are more than just wonderful little creatures. They've become delightful spiritual metaphors for me--soaring reminders of God's presence. They mean hope for the future. In my mind, this pendant symbolizes the care that God pours out on the tiny sparrow. It's a tangible reminder that I am loved in this vast and wild world.

 

Featured in Belle Armoire Jewelry, each pendant is hand-sculpted and hand-colored and is hung on a copper chain.
