Your Sphere of Influence

Your birthday is like a private New Year's celebration-- a chance to reflect and look forward to the milestones you plan on reaching in the year to come. With this sentiment in mind, Jill Henrietta Davis created her birthstone wishing ball to capture a single wish, accomplishment, or meditation every week for the coming year. Each shimmering ball of hand-blown glass comes with 52 tiny slips of paper for you to pause once a week throughout the year and record a message of hope or gratitude. Coil them up and tuck them in the tiny hole near the base and they become a permanent part of the display.

People often ask Jill why the wishes can't come back out, and she explains in terms of birthday candles: "When you blow out your candles, you don't tell the wish you made, otherwise it won't come true. But more importantly, memories are always more beautiful than photographs, and the same is true of wishes. When you look at the little slips of paper accumulating in your Wishing Ball, I want you to think about the big picture those messages convey. Rereading the notes would be like looking backwards, or trying to step in the same river twice." Available in twelve vibrant hues that correspond to each month's birthstone. Handmade in Pawtucket, Rhode Island.

Join us for a trip to Jill's studio on our blog.

Due to the handmade nature of this item, each is unique and will vary.

“When you relinquish the tools you take for granted ... you have to stretch and find new tools to suit the new situation. Sometimes it’s scary, sometimes it’s awkward, often it’s funny, nearly always it’s a great investment.”

During her freshman year studying fashion at Parsons School of Design, Jill Davis realized her clothes were more like wearable sculptures than fashion. She wanted to stay at Parsons, but she began exploring other departments. The day she walked into the glass studio and saw molten glass for the first time, her search was over. "Glass is the most challenging and rewarding material I have ever encountered," says Jill. "You can’t bully it—you are perpetually persuading and coaxing the glass into shape. Even the best living master glass blowers cannot always get the glass to do what they want! It’s this feisty streak that keeps me enchanted."

Beautiful idea and piece of art!

I just completely love the idea of actively thinking about your hopes, wishes and dreams and putting them out into the universe. If you don't dream it, hope for it, pursue it, what chances do we have for it to happen. Loved the idea completely!
