Pendant Explosion!

Hello World,

I would like to start by sending a shout out to my dear friends Senator and Sara who kindly hooked me up with a new web address, I am now:

www.brighteyedbirdie.com

As of now you will be directed to this blog but in the future I am hoping to have a real live website.

I had only planned on making about 20 pendants this time and ended up with around 50! It meant more work for me but more pendants for you! I've got some fantastic images that are kind of strange and all kinds of cool.

For anyone who hasn't seen my pendants before I will explain how they are made. I use miniature dominoes to create these beauties. They are all about one inch in length. Each domino is different and has a different number on the back. I seal the image with a name brand sealant then coat it with resin which is durable and gives it a glass-like look. I then drill a hole in the top and secure a bail in there for necklace holding purposes.

The round pendants are made from wooden game pieces and have random numbers on the back. These are both sealed, coated, and bailed the same as the dominoes.

Each pendant comes with a ribbon which is not shown in the pictures.

I did several custom pendants this time. I did a memorial pendant with a photo of the loved one, a prayer on a pendant, and this excellent Lucille Ball pendant.

This is an example of what the backs of the dominoes look like. There are quite a few that are vintage dominoes that appear to be from the 60's. They have some slight yellowing which gives it character and that aged look.
