With COVID-19 lockdowns and ongoing global uncertainty, my hope is that you are keeping safe and well and that we all move towards brighter times very soon!
‘Creative-imagination-escapism’ has always been my go-to strategy for coping and maintaining some form of sanity. In March this year I embarked on a new creative project, which I am super excited to share with you in this update.
Introducing Art Pendants
Inspired by my love of treasures and creating art which can be kept close and bring meaning and joy, no matter what the future holds… Creating pendants, which incorporate my art in a most wearable way has been an exciting journey. Individually handcrafted through each stage from drawing, painting, printing, enamel painting (over the art print on some of the larger 40mm pendants), varnishing, sealing and trimming. The artwork is sealed under a high quality magnifying glass dome (cabochon), which really brings out the detail and colour. The finished pendant is set in a metal backing and strung with pendant cord.
Currently, I have 2 sizes available in the store: 25mm and 40mm. Archetypes from Nine Lives Tarot are portrayed on a selection of the smaller size pendants. Detail from some of my recent paintings are also featured in this new collection of pendants, along with Ace of Spades and the blue card back design from Vizaĝo Playing Cards. The larger pendants feature new artwork, created especially for this project, including Sun and Moon Goddesses and a colourful Tree of Life. With prices ranging from $15 to $25 (AUD), they make a fabulous gift or an opportunity to treat yourself! View selected pendants by clicking on the images below, or you can view the whole range:
Your Art Pendants are truly beautiful, Annette – easy to wear and wonderful to look at.
Thank you so much Embla! I’m really enjoying making these and your kind words made my day :)
