Once again time has played tricks on me and somehow I lost a week. I mean, I had it right here, right in front of me, but now it is gone. Once I realized that my week had flown the coop I got my bearings (at the dollar store, real cheap) and had a full day of mixed media pendant making. A lot of glue was sniffed (a
Mod Podge shout out to Amy!), a lot of paper was snipped and several pastel pencils were sharpened. In the end I had a nice pile of one-of-a-kind pendants all ready to head to my studio show this week. Yay!
Above and below are my four favorites. I love them. And notice how incredible that turquoise patina is on the copper bails and chains! Dang!

These are simply STUNNING!! Fantastic work. You are so talented!
These are all great - I especially like the 'time flies' - yes, where do the weeks go??!!
Wonderful patina, too.

Hope this isn't a dumb question but when the copper has been given a patina does it not come off on the wearer's skin? If not how do you seal it to prevent this.
It's not a dumb question at all! Once I give the copper a patina I take all the chains and components outside and give them several light sprayed layers of matte sealer. That way the color is retained and it doesn't turn the wearer green. :)
Love everything that you spent the last week making :o) They look wonderful, and the patina-ed chains are the perfect finishing touch!
Thanks for sharing those awesome pendents...perfect pair with the chains! Love them!
Great necklaces! I just Love the patina on the ball chains!
These are just awesomely beautiful!!
Thanks for clearing up my confusion :)
They all turned out so well- I love the soft colors!
These are beautiful! I'm particularly in love with that little chickadee pendant in the last picture.
