November Featured Item - Hummingbird, Book Page Necklace

Hand Painted Hummingbird, Book Page Necklace

Featured Item - Hummingbird, Book Page Necklace

I love hummingbirds, their beautiful colors, their small size, and the sound they make as they fly. Over the years I've included them in my scratch board designs, murals, greeting cards, glass etching, framed art and jewelry.

The image within this focal bead is my original artwork - a hand-painted silhouette of a hummingbird - on a vintage book page, it is copper gilded to create a metallic shimmer. It is then sealed with copper, silver or gold enamel to protect the artwork. Bails are then crafted and attached in order to hang from your choice of 18-24" stainless steel ball chain. A dangling bead in your choice of pink, purple, blue, red, or black is added for more movement and sparkle.

18-24" stainless steel ball chain
Focal bead and dangle are approx 2 1/2"

The book pages I use are original (not photo copies). They are from a vintage book called "Birds That Every Child Should Know" published in1907 by Neltje Blanchan. Your necklace will come with a quote from the page your necklace is from.

Each necklace is packaged in a post consumer, recycled, box, fitted with a non-tarnishing white fiber fill.
