![]() Over time I've made a number of planchettes and connected with many people through their grief and the planchette has continued to grow into a more deeply personal symbol for me, now 14 years later, we continue to make them and it has become a kind of house crest. His death was the genesis for this work as I was looking for 'mourning' jewelry that suited me as well as answers to the complex questions only grief and loss ask, can we carry on relationships with our dead? How do we do so ? Thus, the Planchette was born as a personal symbol for me, as a way into my grief, a way to navigate a lot of complex and difficult feelings at a time of loneliness as I didn't have a community then, nor as intimate of an understanding of the dance with grief as I do now. One of my first collections, Lily Dale, was inspired by a visit to the Spiritualist community of mediums in Lily Dale, NY after the death of my father, and which coincides with the birth of BloodMilk. In honor of our 14th anniversary I wanted to revisit some themes from the earlier years of BloodMilk. This will allow you to mix & match as you so choose. ![]() Please use the drop down menu to select whether you want one key, or a pair.
