This funky pendant (and great Valentine's Day gift for the unusual person in your life) shows a sequined and embroidered anatomical heart on a white background, framed in a rectangular silver-toned metallic frame. I designed and hand-embroidered the heart on white muslin, inspired by Mexican and Haitian folk art traditions. I used metallic embroidery thread and sequins to make the design shimmer and glitter. I put a lot of time into making the heart look realistic. I think of this new line of micro hoops and pendants as charms and amulets of a sort--like Mexican milagros--the anatomical hoops are protective pieces that confer a blessing.
The silver-tone pendant frame is a 1.5" x 1" rectangle. The pendant is silver-tone metal, NOT silver. If you would like to purchase a 12"-long (24" circumference) metal ball chain (shown in a few pictures), YOU MUST SELECT THE CHAIN OPTION FROM "VARIATIONS" or you will only receive the pendant.
No single Snapdragon offering is exactly the same. Each is stitched, embroidered, beaded, and embellished by hand. The details vary and come alive each time I sit down to craft a new piece. Snapdragon creations are unique artworks, special, magical, and powerful. I spend a great deal of time selecting the colors, textures, and details to include in each artwork. I want my creations to leave you feeling passionate, enlivened, and emotionally connected.
