This pendant was created using a recycled countertop laminate sample for the base (in light purple tones). An antique pocket watch (stamped on recycled paper), a vintage photo of a woman and child (reproduction - hand tinted) and beads from recycled jewelry were also used. Pendant hangs from a black nylon cord approx. 18" long. Several coats of sealant protect the piece.
The effect I am going for with these pieces is fun and funky. I refer to my work as "primitive" because my use of recycled materials often results in the finished product looking a bit rough or unrefined, which I think just adds to the interest and character of the individual piece. This is a one of a kind, original work of art. No copies will be made of this piece.
Wear it as a pendant
Hang it from your rearview mirror
Use it as a key chain
Or accent your own collage/assemblage, altered art or scrapbooking projects with it.
