In July of 2020 Lisa lost her beloved father to Covid-19. Noble Ernest Dean was an adventurous, kind, funny, loving man who enjoyed the great outdoors and spent as much time as he could skiing, hiking, fishing and camping with his family. Lisa carved this design of a Noble Fir tree in his honor and inscribed the reverse with one of his favorite sayings, familiar to anyone who has ever spent time on the ski slopes: "Keep your tips up!" Other quotes have been added since that remind Lisa of her dad.
Lisa's fine silver clay pendants each begin as a linoleum carving. Clay made from recycled silver particles is then pressed into Lisa's carvings to form the front of the piece. The reverse is inscribed with an inspirational quote, then fired in a kiln. The firing process burns away everything except the silver, leaving a 99.6% fine silver centerpiece.
