X-stitch pillow done with hair that a dear friend S. gifted to me & secured with beeswax.

I started by jumping off of the Victorian mourning jewelry tradition & somehow along the way ended up with something deeply personal to my own relationship with the convergence between love & anticipatory grief. Quote is from some drunken(?) conversation we once had.

Thank you endlessly for the trust. I don't think I'm ever getting your hair out of my carpet. Miss you.
