Photojewelry Worn as Either Pins or Necklace Pendants (Shrinky Dinks)
It's a necklace. It's a pin. It's BOTH!!! The photos are based on the ones that I actually took myself using my digital camera. I reduced the photo size in Photoshop (along with any other kind of retouching that a photo may need), printed it out on Shrinky Dink paper that has been specially coated for ink jet printers, punched a hole in the top for a necklace loop, baked the item for anywhere between 3-5 minutes, then glued a pin backing on the back. Regardless of whether you decide to wear it as a necklace or as a pin, it's the ultimate in wearable art!
Here are the photojewelry that I've created in the past. Even though I may make more than one copy of a design, no two of my necklaces are ever exactly alike (especially given the variations in the polymer clay frames), which is a definite sign that this was not mass-produced by a machine in a Third World sweatshop factory.
Approximate photojewelry size is 2 inches x 2 inches (5 cm x 5 cm). Click on any picture to see a larger version open up in a new window. If you wish to purchase any handcrafted items from me, visit my online store.
