I've been working on a new batch of Look Closely pendants. I've changed the look just a bit, making them slightly wider, and flatter, gaining more collage room. I've also played around with a few new ideas. I've had several emails from gals wanting to know when I'd be making more, so I thought it was high time I got to it! I am a person who likes to constantly evolve when I create and find it hard to be repetitive, so I had fun playing around with the old design.

I'll be putting them in the shop this weekend.

mocking merriment ~ SOLD!

breathe ~ a custom order for Angie S.

Most of the papers that I used came from an old Shakespeare book, a 1940's "True Story" magazine, and a French Canadian lesson book.

I've been messing around with some funky beaded necklaces with handmade pendants again...hopefully those will be done by Sunday night.

We are heading down the old country road to Jon's sister's for some good old fashion Maine lobster (lobstah), corn on the cob and maybe a little wine.

Catch up with you cuties later!

wow those are so creative! I love that you use paper froma book, instead of printing it off the computer.. there's something about desecrating a book (GASP!) that makes a necklace/piece more hearty.

You're so productive, very pretty new necklaces those are! I like the new shape, too, but I must say the old shape was lovely as well. Have a lovely week!

I love the new pendants. When I saw the thumbnail of the freind pendant on Flicker, it looked (to me )like something washed up from the sea with barnacles and tube worms, then when I looked at it full size ... well it wasn't, but I do think "look closely" is the perfect name for them.They are all so lovely. I treasure mine!
