I finally found the time the other week to send off my first PIF gift for this year and Christine was the recipient. Unfortunately, either the USPS or Canada Post struck hard and the glass piece in the front of the pendant didn’t make it, but I let her know where to potentially find more or how to just pull it out and back the back to compensate. Stupid mail. *grumble* Anyway, she seems to be tickled and I’m so glad she likes it.
The design is a Teenie Tweenies design from The Sweetheart Tree named Sweet Valentines. Instead of the charm in the center, I put her initial. I stitched it over one on 36 count antique white evenweave and then finished it in this 1.5″ pendant frame and sterling silver bail and chain. All in all, it turned out even better than I had hoped and I am definitely pleased with the result.
And a close-up shot:
What a beautiful piece and finish!
