In my
previous blog post, I told you about the Industrial Chic Blog Hop I am participating in this month, and I also showed you the goodies I was given to make into art. I ended up using 2 of the 3 packages of supplies I received and this is what I created:
This is my "Words to Live By" mini book necklace. I removed the pages of ephemera contained within the Industrial Chic metal tag pendant and replaced these with handmade pages made with beautiful religious images and quotes from Catholic saints. I added a metal lace filigree finding to the bottom of the book, along with some decorative ribbon-yarn and small cross charms. An image of the Immaculate Heart of Mary was affixed to a domino and attached to the front of the pendant. The necklace is comprised of 2 Industrial Chic charms, along with black pearls and crystals beaded rosary-style to complete the look.

I want to thank the folks at Industrial Chic for inviting me to participate in this blog hop and for my free goodies. I really enjoyed the challenge of creating from the supplies I was given. I can't wait to see what the other participants came up with.
Be sure to check out my previous post for the list of participants and links to their respective blogs.
