kitschy pendant

pendant1

Yesterday when I was uploading pictures, I noticed that I never took pictures of my favourite pendant.

I made it quite some time ago out of an broken souvenir spoon. My paternal grandmother used to collect them. That broken one found it’s way to me after having lost it’s tiny plaque showing whatever attraction it used to belong to. It now has a silly running chicken instead of old-timey, touristy Austrian kitsch.

The tiny metal flowers once were earrings that must have been quite old. When they came to me they were broken, the flowers about to come off and the actual earring-parts were not complete or working anymore. My maternal grandmother gave them to me hoping I would save them from being thrown away.

So, this is very recycled and has a lot of family in it. I didn’t notice that until now …
