Pen2Mic: Bridging Words to Voice, A Tribute to Talent
Writing is a powerful outlet for expressing innermost feelings—a cherished escape, source of inspiration, or a healing journey for many. For Marie Talley, an avid writer and public speaker, and her eldest son, Charlon “Talent” Talley, a talented poet and spoken word artist, writing was more than a passion; it was their bond. Tragically, Charlon lost his life to COVID-19 in 2021.
Yet, together they created Pen2Mic—a platform that bridges the gap between written words and spoken expression. Their brand logo, featuring a feather quill, inkwell, and microphone, beautifully captures their mission and enduring legacy.

Healing Through Custom Jewelry
The loss of a loved one never truly leaves you; it’s like carrying a small rock in your pocket—a constant presence in your life. With time, the weight may feel lighter, signifying the strength you’ve gained.
Creating custom jewelry to honor a loved one like this one not only offers a profoundly cathartic experience but also celebrates their life and raises awareness for meaningful platforms like Pen2Mic, empowering countless others to express themselves.

Crafting a Sentimental Keepsake
Our aim was to capture the Pen2Mic logo in all its intricate, delicate beauty while ensuring it was wearable and snag-free.

Concept to Creation
To do this, we made the logo’s details dimensional and highly polished against a matte background. This approach perfectly encapsulates the essence of the Pen2Mic logo in jewelry form, transforming it into a piece of wearable art.
