My paternal grandfather was an accountant. He passed away when I was very young and my memories of him are few. His name was Kenneth and I am his namesake. These pieces were inspired by an old accounting machine and are made of circles about the same size as the green and black buttons. As I made these items, I imagined the click, click, click as my grandfather pressed his numbers into a similar machine.

Care: polish cloth preferred (toothpaste and an old toothbrush also work well without damaging the stones or shells)
