MEMORY NECKLACES Saturday 5/07/16 1:00-3:00pm Cost: $50 including all material Instructor: Carolyn Wagner
Transform a treasured image into a beautiful and unique piece of wearable art! We will create a locket from an image of your choosing secured in a metal bezel under magnifying glass. Images can include old photographs of people, pets, even vintage labels, interesting ephemera, or a small collage. Leather cord, old stock brass chain, decorative bits and a fancy clasp will complete this piece. Participants should bring images photocopied onto card stock. Locally, Chase Graphics is a great resource. The image will sit in a 30 mm (I inch+) bezel so have your pieces sized accordingly. Please do not cut images in advance.
