"I made this pendant as a memory of when I was young and used the raven steals the moon image to convey it.

When I was 3-4 years old my Dad took us out to harvest butter clams,he took us out during the full moon which was the brightest natural light, it was in October full moon,it had to be cold to harvest butter clams so they aren't toxic,every fall and winter is butter clam harvesting time." -Andrew Williams
