Skeleton bones and pearls






My favorite vintage dictionary never stops entertaining me. I made this charm from the anatomy section. I love the mix of something elegant and refined, pearls, with bones and oxidized metal.

Skeleton bones and pearls fit together so nicely. The jewelery is beautiful. I too like the juxtaposition of the pearls with the metal.

Thanks Tina, A fellow Etsy seller said the pearls feel look like bones the way they are attached.

I really like your Golden, Mine is 8. He is getting white around the face. I think I will post some pics of him today

I would love to see your golden. I saw in your profile you have one. I have two, BJ is the one pictured, he is like the most perfect dog. Doesn't beg, doesn't bark except as need be or on command, stays with me, listens, fetches the paper. I just love them. BJ is about 10. I am surprised yours is just now turning. Yes, I can see the resemblance to bones in your work, in a metaphorical way.
