Halloween Necklaces

These necklaces are a departure from the beachy jewelry I usually create.  I  decided to create Halloween inspired necklaces because it's hard to find All Hallow's Eve jewelry that isn't too cute or too gory.  I think these necklaces are in the cool middle with their vintage images and pops of color.

A little bit about how they are created....... each image has been created using a real black and white or sepia vintage photograph of a person/children from the 1880s to the 1930s.  The photos are scanned, cleaned up and colorized using Photoshop, they are then layered with other vintage elements and words  along with drop shadow to give them depth.  The base of the pendant is a vintage yardstick (you can see the numbers on the back) which has been cut, sanded, painted and sanded to distress the edges.  The tiny work of art is then printed out and fixed to the piece of yardstick and coated with a clear shiny resin to protect it forever....and ever.  A hole is drilled in the top of the pendant after the resin has cured for 24 hours then a necklace is beaded using various sizes of glass beads and finally it's done.  Whew!
