Soldered Necklace using a Vintage Image



I made this necklace using a vintage image, glass, foil tape, soldering iron, flux, chain, and a broken earring. For both sides, the same paper was used with a different design. I chose the butterfly, which I thought would go perfectly with the image of the girl. It is unique and looks like you are wearing an art piece.

Shabby Chic Mixed Media Canvas/ Solder Necklace

 I created this mixed media on canvas using fabric, flowers, lace, trim, a porcelain doll, pearl beads, bling, Prima paper (Sparkling Spring Collection 2011), stick pins, molding paste, and paint. The picture reflects a moment of my daughter's childhood that she will remember for a lifetime. She truly enjoyed her doll Jasmine it was her most prized possession. I had a Birthday Party for her baby, Jasmine, the day I took her picture; it was a small get together with friends, cake, and ice cream. In the eyes of my daughter, her doll was part of the family, a human-like us, and I was a grandmother for a very long time. I loved that my daughter truly enjoyed her childhood and had quite an extended one; she played with dolls until she was about 12 to 13 years old. I've had a passion for porcelain dolls for a very long time. I hope through my art, my daughter can visualize her childhood again, and in my heart, she will always be my little porcelain doll that grew up and became real.

I went further with my art, took a picture of my canvas, and created this necklace. I used chain, beads, charms, fabric, lace, glass, foil tape, solder gun, and went to work. I love the way it turned out. Now I can always keep my porcelain doll close to my heart.
