Wish & Dream (Not for Sale)

First off ... Happy 42nd Birthday, Singapore!

I rather enjoyed the Parade on the Bay and though elements reminded me of the Opening Ceremony of the Asian Games in Doha, I thought the organisers put on a pretty good show. At the very least, it was an inspiring reminder of how blessed we are to live in a safe, culturally diverse, peaceful place we can truly call "home".

Another message I took away from the celebrations revolved around the possibility of dreams coming true.

And so this creation was born.

It's a pendant I put together and it features a vintage-ish image of a woman with a rose. "Wish" and "dream" highlight the theme and then I glazed the whole thing to seal the words and images and protect them from normal wear and tear.

Little accents of flowers and beads were then added. I think I'll wear this one on a ribbon to carry on the vintage feel.

This particular piece is not for sale (need to refine the technique), but do look out for more pendants/brooches in this style which will be coming up in the next couple of weeks.

I have oriental beauties, geishas, flowers, animals .... Ahhhh so many ideas, so little time!!

Just FYI, the pendant frame measures about 3cm long and 3.5cm wide.
