WAXING POETIC III

I've taken an antique porcelain doll head and soldered various antique rhinestone components to it. 

Then I suspended an Art Deco rhinestone watch pendant and attached an Art Deco rose camphor glass chain to make it into a assemblage necklace.

I love the way it turned out.  I hope you do as well....

BABY BLUE



Listed to Metal Corset is Baby Blue, an assemblage necklace featuring an Edwardian locket/brooch holding a tiny porcelain doll inside.  Blue can be worn as a pendant alone considering she has an original bale attached to the top of her head.

Blue lays on a bed of blue velvet, has painted cobalt blue eyes and wears a hand crocheted bobbin lace skirt.

The rear locket bale is retractable, meaning it can be moved downward hiding it when the locket is worn as a brooch.  Moved up when worn as a pendant.

It's a truly amazing all original piece. I haven't modified the locket or the porcelain doll whatsoever, other than suspending it from a Victorian gold plated book chain and sterling silver wire wrapped faceted Lapis gemstones.
