Dragonfly Glass Slide Pendant

Description

In Japan, the dragonfly is a national emblem. In fact, Japan used to be called "Akitsushima", or Dragonfly Island. The long, rainy summer season and numerous rivers and streams provide ideal living conditions for dragonflies, which spend the early stages of their life in the water. More than 190 dragonfly species can be found in Japan

I take a microscope slide, slice it to size, fit it with art, wrap it in foil tape, solder around the edges and complete it with sterling fittings and a gemstone dangle. It measures 1" x 1.5".

I can add a necklace for an additional charge. Choices are: small open link sterling chain ($20), Greek leather with sterling clasp ($10) or a feminine sterling neck collar ($30).

ADDITIONAL INFO:

The process of traditional woodblock printing is accomplished through the work of three different people: the artist who draws the prints and decides on the color scheme for each one, the publisher who commissions the work and the carver who cuts the prints out of either cherry or pear wood (or other similar woods). The process starts with a black-ink block and follows through with successive color blocks, which ultimately produces a finished print.
