I'm still working on beach/summer-themed projects so I busted out some of my bezel hoard stockpile and decided to work with old dictionary text and teenie, tinie seashells. It's fun to flip through these vintage dictionaries...I love words. It must be part of the etymology interest that comes from my Dad, the Latin teacher. Isn't it appropriate that it's Father's Day? :) Hi, Daddy!!! Love you!
It could be just the words, but the little tiny pictures are the best!
I didn't use the peccary pig picture in these pendants because he didn't really go with the shells...
My little ocean words, though, worked wonderfully!
The rest of the macro Sunday crowd hosted by Studio Waterstone is out there in blogland...linked at this button:
Ohhh...love those shots! And the picture of the pages, awesome!
ReplyDeleteGreat idea, great charms!
ReplyDeleteOh I had fun when looking for words for my necklaces....creating and learning at the same time. The shells are wonderful...they always amaze me when we visit the beach. The necklace bezels are wonderful!
ReplyDeletevery cool! and I have to agree, those old books are fun to look at and work with, very nice.
ReplyDeleteThose are really cute little pendants!
ReplyDeleteI love the pendants and your photos of the words are wonderful (love old dictionary pages) but I really love the photo of the peccary pig! Throw some sunglasses on him and stick him on the beach, don't forget the sunscreen! :) Jen, have a great Sunday!
