Jenny Doh, the lovely creator of Crescendoh.com, has created a fundraiser for a wonderful cause, Water.org. A donation of $25 gets a family safe water for life -
the details are here. She has also invited everyone who donates to send her a handmade accessory, with which she'll pose in the dress she has committed to wear for an entire year for this cause. I don't normally make art to wear, and I didn't think she'd want to hang a canvas around her neck, so I figured I'd dig through my mixed media stash to see what I could come up with. This is the result...
It started out as a pin, but I was afraid it would be too heavy, so I made it a necklace. I used an old game chip as the base, a rusty metal piece not sure what it is exactly, an old knob, a piece from the inside of an old pocket watch and beads. The piece from inside the watch amazes me - it's carved with a beautiful ornate pattern and it was from INSIDE the watch. They sure don't make things like they used to. Anyway, it's kinda funky, but I had a lot of fun making it, and hopefully Jenny will like it.
