Patina Princess

I continue to be fascinated by the look of verdigris patina and how it enhances the Art Nouveau style that I love!

I've had a pair of these patinaed pendant pieces for a while and wanted to do something different than earrings.

I cut out a tiny portrait and glued it to the pendant, and then coated just the picture with resin.

Some delicate brass chain and some czech glass dangles pull the look together.

Beautiful Pendants!

The verdigris is lovely and the flanking turquoise glass a wonderful compliment to the pendant.
Beautiful work, Joann!

I adore Art Nouveau too - and the colors you've used here. Wonderful use of patina in your design!
