Lost Flowers Sterling, Garnet Necklace- Art Every Day Month #5

I'm definitely better at creating then I am at blogging...number 5 in the Art Every Day Month.
I've had a couple scrolly sketches in my idea book, a possible series of jewellery that blends my loves of vintage, paper and metal.
Using original photographs that I've collected over the years from antique stores, I always feel like I'm 'rescuing' them...I so treasure the family photos that I am the keeper of that I'm saddened by the thought of them languishing in a dusty shop.

Thus the title 'Lost Flowers', I used a family photo, from a picnic maybe? All the cousins together, under a layer of glistening mica and a coat of resin. Sparkle added by a small faceted garnet.
