At my part-time day job as a mental health clinician, I am often asked to hold a spectrum of emotions from great distress to great joy. Therapists learn to model how to contain emotions for our clients, but that doesn't necessarily mean that we don't internalize at least some of the intense affect of those we try to help. With all of this work/therapy/feelings talk in mind, I created this pair of earrings: Little bottles of holding.
These earrings feature tiny glass bottles topped with corks, which hang from silver craft wire. Inside of each bottle is a fortune--a bit of wisdom that you can choose to read or leave in the bottle as a secret. Turquoise beads embellish the earrings. The ear wires are surgical steel. This pair measures approximately 2 1/8 inches in length.
