Saddle Shoes and Sneakers

Description

This necklace is from my "Somewhat Similar" collection. The reversible pendant features illustrations from a vintage 1966 Webster's New World Dictionary, Elementary Edition. They are somewhat similar in spelling, use, or other not-so-apparent ways! :D I made these for fun, and because I loved the retro 60's illustrations. The illustrations are decoupaged onto a 1 1/4"L (3.2cm) X 15/16"W (almost 2.5cm) X 1/4" thick (.64cm) vintage 1960's wooden Mah Jong tile with a silver tone eye screw bail. I lightly sanded the the Mah Jong tile on both sides to remove the painted-on front design so it wouldn't show through the paper, which is only on the front and back faces of the tile. The four edges are the natural wood of the Mah Jong tile. Some of the illustrations have teeny tiny flaws from printing of the dictionary, but all are very clear and legible (although my photos may not quite be). These are untouched photos, not photoshopped. I wanted to get these listed! ;) The necklace comes on a 24" (61cm) silver tone ball chain necklace. The ball chain can be shortened with a snip of the scissors. If you prefer a longer necklace, I also have 31" (79cm) silver tone ball chains. Just let me know in the message to seller box if you want the longer chain, otherwise the 24" chain will be what you receive on your pendant. Hope these make you smile! MsA
