I bought a tiny model train house at an antique store in Ohio. It's so tiny and cute! I knew I could press it into clay and the windows and doors would make great patterns. I hadn't planned to use the tiny car that was parked in the tiny driveway when I first bought it, but after pressing it into clay and seeing how adorable it was, I made some Road Trip pendants. I also had a Boy Scout compass with raised numbers and NSWE markers, so that formed the curved pattern on these pendants. It's funny, they remind me of my travels as well as my home here in the Motor City.
