I am slowly getting all the new work up on the website. It's a crazy mess around the studio. I clean off a table and within an hour, it's all piled up again. I had a dream last night that I came in to work and my landlord was moving me out because I was too messy.
I have some new locket styles. I love lockets because they are so classic. This year I am putting old photos in lockets.
I get a special thrill when I open an old locket at a flea market and find the original pictures in them. So, I wanted to give these new lockets a bit of that magic. I doubt these people knew each other but it's fun to imagine a little love story for them.
You can always update the lockets with your own pictures. It's pretty easy to cut out the oval and then just dab a little glue over the old picture and slide your picture in.
And don't forget about these lockets which I am carrying over from last year due to popular demand!

Cool! I collect vintage portraits. I am drawn to their somberness and soft colors. They are kinda spooky which I love. I like that you're putting them in lockets. Are you using the originals?
Thanks Juanita! No, I am not using originals, I am photoshopping the images into ovals and printing them out. It's nice because you can use only what ink you need and you can re-size the picture to fit the oval.
