the moment - mixed media necklace by Kaija Rantakari, 2016 / paperiaarre.com The moment. It seems to elude me lately, so I have very little to say today. Instead of words I leave you with this mixed media necklace I made during the weekend.

The vintage watch case collage pendant hangs from a lovely hand-dyed silk cord. I left the cord long so that you can freely adjust the length to your liking. A sheet of natural mica protects the collage.

Lots of wear from earlier life. I hope this piece will get lots of wear in its future life, too. You can find this in my shop later this afternoon.
