The recycled winter wonderland. A recycled sterling silver English shilling coin pendant.

I hope everyone is eating and drinking to excess? i am. I just finished this pendant yesterday and decided that i would take a quick picture and pop it on the blog! Merry Christmas !!!! I love it! i hope you do! It will go online for the winter months of January and February. I will make each one from a 100 year old silver shilling. And each one will be completely unique and special, just like a snowflake.

The photograph of the pendant doesnt look as shiny as it actually is in real life! In 2009 i will make a new years resolution to improve my photography skills!! I have no excuse considering Derek the top class professional photographer is my friend and next door neighbour at the art and craft market!!!!

Ears of cloth!

Have a great big dAY! mERRy cHRisTmAs**!
