\"Dogwood“As though it was

The beautiful thing about polymer clay is its ability to become whatever the artist wants it to be. I am constantly amazed at how a tiny lump of lifeless plastic clay, can be molded<\/a> and sculpted into something so natural and beautiful looking… such as this rustic Dogwood Flower mounted on a hammered vintage silver spoon bail<\/a>.<\/span><\/p>\n

As though it was plucked from an ancient Dogwood tree, this rustic sculpted flower pendant is the perfect unique jewelry piece for the artistic girl in touch with her earthy side.<\/span><\/p>\n

The vintage feel to this piece is enhanced by the antique finish given to the flower and the rich patina of the real tarnished vintage silver spoon on which it has been mounted.<\/span><\/p>\n

The spoon itself is special in that on the handle is a crest telling us it is a 25th anniversary spoon for a Co-op celebration in 1953… which makes this silver plated spoon 58 years old, today!<\/span><\/p>\n

Measuring at approximately 2 1\/2 inches (6 cm) in length and 1 1\/2 inches (4 cm) wide, this pendant is just the right size and weight to be hung from your own chunky Silver chain or rubber cording… and look amazing! <\/span><\/p>\n
