A Mixed Media Gothic Pendant Necklace

Every now and then I would go through a phase when all I want to make are dark and Gothic pieces. Anyhow, this is one I just finished. The main pendant is again one of my resin coated cabochons, which I painted on a white polymer clay base using water colours, acrylics and a little Twinkling H2O, and added some collage elements. The little skulls and Gothic man face were made from black polymer clay and coloured with acrylics and Gilder's paste. The spider web shaped thingy and blue rose were raw brass stampings, similarly coloured with acrylics and Gilder's paste. Added some crystals, lace, beads and chains etc to make up the rest of the necklace. It was fun doing it and I'm quite pleased with how it turns out. I may even wear it to work one day with an all black outfit just to shock everyone, LOL! I have made another Gothic cab in a different colour scheme. Will turn it into a necklace when I have time. Please click on the photos if you'd like a larger view.

    Thanks for your lovely comments, Ewa, Susy and Arkadia. Glad you like the piece. :)

    Arkadia, I used a combination of techniques but mainly bead embroidery for the background work. I stuck a piece of lace onto some dark blue backing material in the upper part of the necklace, then embroidered beads onto it. It's the lace that gives it the micro macrame look. Hope that answers your question. :)

    These are excellent tips! Thank you so much for sharing! I don't have any more outdoor shows scheduled for this year but will definitely be on the lookout for some of those items. I especially like the iron earring tree idea. Visit Us
