Layered Windows Pendant

A friend who owns a local bead store gets these amazing bronze parts like this square piece one off of old light fixtures and they're great for making pendants!

First I coated scrapbook paper with resin and glued it to the back of the piece so the design would show through the "windows".

Then I bent a large cross shaped filigree to fit over the front and added an old watch face, a verdigris butterfly charm and a brass swallow, and glued on a few crystals for sparkle.

This pendant was rather time consuming but great fun to make!
