Antique Book Pendant



Using pages from an 1834 Penny Magazine book, I construct a pendant by sandwiching a 1 x 1 inch piece of the magazine (actually a book) between glass, then soldering and adding a sterling silver loop that will work with a chain or neckwire. Each pendant is unique as these are NOT scans, but pieces of history...

See these pendants on my etsy site:

Release the Kraken!!


I made this polymer clay squid necklace to wear yesterday at an author event for the new Wendy Williams book "Kraken, the Curious, Exciting, and Slightly Disturbing Science of Squid"-wonderful book by the way! Author wants this necklace really badly to wear on her book tour, I may have to oblige!
Am off to buy more polymer clay & make more along this theme, squids, other marine creatures...
