The pendants will be offered for sale and can be picked upafter the 3-week adorning (weather dependent) is complete. The pendants havebeen created to withstand living outdoors permanently, possibly mounted on a 4”x 4” post in one’s personal forest or yard.  They are also wonderfulpieces to bring indoors and hang on the walls in your favorite sacred interiorspace.

Each pendant will be offered at $650 each with 50% of thesale going to fund future “Art Gone Wild” residencies. For an additional feethe Artists will work with you to hang your work in your desired location (thisdoes not include any extra materials needed for installation).
