3 more new pendants

I love the idea of using found items. In #1 and #2, I used some chinese fortune cookie fortunes for the words of wisdom. Sometimes they’re (the fortunes) are right on. Yes, it’s a little kitschy, but I tend to like that sort of stuff. I’m also a sucker for beautiful paper. So in #3, I cut out a star from some of my paper stash and added a word from a dictionary that I continue to use.

I finished 6 more pendants yesterday. I love making these. This time I decided to experiment a little more with techniques and materials. I painted and drew a representational piece in #2, and for #3 I used foil and origami paper. I’m thinking of expanding the technique I’m using to some smaller 5″ x 5″ blank canvases that I have had in my studio for over a year.
