I have recently made some pendants using Ranger Memory Glass and Frames. Its a bit like making inchies - really tests your ability to create on a smaller scale. I start with the image and then try to find elements that will co-ordinate and fit!
As you can see from the pictures I choose a picture of three small children. I have a stash of vintage photos and this one tempted me. I used my favourite blue Distress Ink - Stormy Sky - to colour the background together with a liberal spraying of walnut ink to give that aged appearance. I found the very smallest flowers from the Tim Holtz Tattered Flowers die cut fitted the frame perfectly. I managed to find some papers coloured previously with blues and greys that tied in. I needed some text so chose a ChitChat sticker that fitted the theme. This was all tied together with two pieces of lace to finish the piece.
I decided to make the piece double sided, so added another piece of paper that had been aged and had vintage text (PaperArtsy Mini stamp) printed on it together with a sprinkle of walnut ink.
So I have hung the finished frame on blackened silver ball chain together with a tassel made up of several glass beads with compliment the colour scheme.
Hope you like this post and the vintage frame shown. Leave a comment if you like, and dont forget ...
Be Creative!
