Here’s some more of my new collaged and soldered pendants.
I really love these first two, they are tiny collages done on vintage French book paper, I added lots of brown ink to age them even more, stamped postage cancellation marks and a tiny stamped vintage looking label and added numbers to them so they looked like old specimen labels. One features a bird, the other a butterfly:
here’s another fairy with an attitude, she’s got a bored look on her face and I added the word “whatever”, cut from a vintage dictionary:
and lastly something a little different for me, a tiny paper piecing of a house and a tree, I cut and punched them out of cardstock and patterned papers, the background is vintage French book paper. I also added a small metal key to the bottom:

Hi Heather! Pretty pendants! I especially like the warm colors of the one with the moth and No. 74! 🙂
These pendents are lovely. I adore all of your work. Tell me, do you really use the original vintage french paper or do you copy them first? And if you copy them, what kind of paper do you use so that they still look like real book paper? I can’t seem to get the same results that you do!
Connie- I use the real vintage paper right out of the book. They begin to look like swiss cheese after awhile:)
