how .......do you re-create an accident?

'broken wings, open heart'

...........is a happy accident, made from a piece of bronze, over-fired and broken.  the pieces haunted me, until a friend told me to make something of the pieces.  well....since the things were over fired, they no longer fit exactly together, makeing the interior negative space an open heart.  hmmmmmm...  that same friend and i had been carrying on a running conversation about beloved things that had been broken and then repaired, by whatever means available, to restore them to usefulness.  sooooo....i came to stitches.    how ordinary........ how woman-like....... how practical.  anyway, i loved the resulting pendant, and was surprised to feel a bit of grief, when that same friend bought it.  now, of course the dilemma is......can i do it again?  well.........i can

try!
