Antique optical lenses allow you to make the most unique pendents. You can cut and adhere any picture, collage, or stamped image. Personalize them further by adding beads, baubles, and metal tags.
The lense on the left is an arrangement of stamps, including a lady that looks uncanningly like my mother when she was young. The back to the pendent is cut from Foofala cardstock. The metal tags are engraved with the words, "love" and "cherish". (I love you Mom!)
The lense on the right is a copy of a painting by my favorite artist, Adolphe-William Bouguereau. I used micro pearl PearlEx to highlight the wings, and the words on these metal tags say, "love" and "believe". The back is Basic Grey paper that I printed Psalm 91:11. "I will give my angels charge over thee." Everyone has a guardian angel, thank goodness! My guardian angel and I are now going to go eat chocolate. Mmmmm. . .
