I am excited to share this beautiful project with you as we create one of a kind pendants of the Virgin Mary and a beautiful ornate cross.
Please join me while we will apply paint, color, and antiquing methods to bring out the fine details of the Madonna. You will create one of a kind embellished bezel pendants using a soldering iron while replicating an “old world” relic from the past. Our relic story continues as we complete the back of our pendants. We will solder beautiful embossed metal stampings, ornate brackets, and embellish with lace, imagery, and/or repurposed embroidery.
You will also design and create a one of a kind ornate soldered cross ~ embellished with filigree, medals, and/or small findings.
You may want to bring a special rosary chain, or necklace to feed through the bail to proudly wear your gorgeous work of art!
