Danglers

"We come from the earth, we return to the earth, and in between we garden."  Alfred Austin

I was going through some boxes and came across this little pendant I made quite some time ago.  It's a photograph of Bessie, my grandmother....and it's one of my favorites photos of her.  She was such a classy lady.

I shrunk the photograph, sandwiched it between two very thin pieces of glass, wrapped the edges in copper foil tape, and soldered it securing the rings into the solder.  Then I added the blue bead dangle.  I think it's sweet....and I will find a place to display it.

 

I spent the almost the whole day working in the gardens in Lexington....there's always something to do.  I love the way the Solomon's Seal flowers dangle from the bottom of the stem....almost hidden. They're so delicate and sweet.

And there's no better dangler than bleeding heart.....this photo was taken on a walk in Portland a few days ago.
