Wearable Original Art

 Here it is, November and almost Thanksgiving. I have been pretty busy lately working on some graphic design projects and this past week started working on a new project for my Etsy shop for the holidays. These tiny original watercolors are encased in glass and soldered together to make a little pendant. They have been so much fun to make! The soldering has taken a little bit of practice, but now that I am getting it down, I can't stop!!!
 This is a group photo of my first batch of necklaces. I have a ton of little watercolors on my pad, sketched out and ready to be painted this weekend. After that, I can get them made up into pendants. I plan to list as many as I can between now and Tuesday! Of course, next week I will be spending time with family and probably eating too much of something! Thursday morning I will be running before the festivities (I plan on 8 miles...We'll see if I collapse before that!) as I am training for a half marathon. I am so happy I have my creative projects to keep me going. I hope you have a beautiful Thanksgiving and that you remember all the ways we are all blessed everyday. I am going to post again hopefully on Wednesday with more pieces to view, but of course you can always check out my shop to see my most recent work! Click here. Have a great weekend and a fantastic Thanksgiving!!
