Transformation
It is so much fun antique shopping, then bringing your goodies home and transforming them into something fun to wear. There is no way I can possibly get to all the wonderful pieces I have picked up, just this year alone. But this one jumped out at me yesterday, screaming to come out of the case! That's when we have to listen to them, right?
I picked up some of these turn of the century picture hangars at an antique shop in Victoria, Canada while shopping with my friend Jill. I think it looks very French!
What do you think?
I thought it needed a touch of bling, some beautiful chain and a pearl.
Any ideas what to do with the others? I just love these little hangars, too pretty. And the aging on them is so rich, I haven't touched it and won't!
This will go in to the collection for the Anacortes Arts Festival this coming weekend in Anacortes, WA.
Wish you could all come see me and say hi!
Hugs,
Riki

Love it for sure....No further embellishments needed =) xo
The charm of what you do with old pieces of jewelry is why you create such wonderful pieces.
Turning the fragment upside down and using the hanger for the chain loop is perfect.
I love the little bit of bling and the chain.
Beautiful, Riki.
