Easy Peasy - Week 13

I had a busy week planned for week 13 so I knew I needed an easy project!  I decided to make a couple vintage inspired  necklaces to wear.  These were super fast and easy!

The supplies:  The artwork and the bronze frames are from a great website  http://www.retrocafeart.com/
I really like this site for all the wonderful collages and beautiful supplies they have!

First I chose the images I wanted to work with and then covered them with a layer of Aleene's tacky glue to protect the surface.  It dries very quickly and gives a slight shine to the art.


After the glue was dry I pasted the image to a 1 x 3 inch piece of masonite micro-slide.  I pasted the floral image into a metal shadow box type pendant as well.



Once the images were dry from being pasted in place, I used various embellishments to decorate them.

For this necklace I decided to hang it from some sheer burgundy ribbon and add rose beads to it.

 It turned out very feminine and romantic looking!

For this necklace, I added a jump ring and an antique brass ball chain.  Looks very vintage!


This week Jon and I celebrated our 20th anniversary on March 28th!  We went out for sushi that night and then spent a few days at Terranea in Rancho Palos Verdes.  It is an amazingly beautiful resort and it was wonderful being by the ocean.  http://www.terranea.com/
