This whimsical Unicorn necklace pendant was one of the first

equine style wood pendants I created.

This piece is a combination of Prismacolor pencil 

and Golden acrylics. It is sealed in multiple coats

of clear, non yellowing varnish to

help protect it while wearing on a necklace.

This buckskin horse is another in my latest series of horse pendants

with Prismacolor pencil on wood.

My horse Belle was the inspiration for the color

chosen for this pendant. This horse does not have the

exact markings on her, but the body color is very close.

I've found I absolutely love creating these little 

wearable pieces of art!

One of the things I have enjoyed creating these past few months 

are necklace pendants.

The above pendant was inspired by a beautiful Arab mare, Ganessa, I had long, long, ago.

Each pendant is created on a hard wood disc,

but each disc is too rough to "paint" on with my

Prismacolor pencils and get the results I would like.

So to prep them, I may spend upwards of 3 hours

hand sanding each, front, back, and sides, to obtain the smooth

surface I am looking for. After sanding, I then trace out

my line drawing, making sure the horse is well placed, giving room to

place the bail at the top through which the necklace chain will eventually suspend from.

Every now and then a line drawing may not transfer well.

With a little fine sandpaper I can "erase" and try again. It's then on to the

Prismacolors. I complete the horse first, as any colors I apply

for the background may "splatter" into the uncolored area of the horse, which is

very difficult to remove.

Every pendant is in full color, front, back, and sides, with layer upon layer

of blended Prismacolor pencils. I use the same technique on these beautiful pendants

as with art I created on paper. Each pendant will take upward of 3 days to complete, from

prep work of sanding, to it's final touches of color and my signature on back.

When my signature has been applied, one by one, each pendant is placed 

into the spray box, where I apply multiple layers of clear, non yellowing

protective semi gloss finish, to help preserve the art for gentle wearing.

After it's protective clear coats, the pendant will hang in a warm, dry

area to cure. A silver plated bail is then added, readying the pendant

to pair with a perfect chain to wear!

~ Sadly my Etsy Shop will be Closing ~

Because of a new policy change, my Etsy shop, De La Renaissance, will be closing on the 16th of May, 2017. With this closing my blog will then become more active, providing the area where announcements will be made of new and available items as I create them, and links as to where they may be purchased.

Thank you all!

I hope you had a beautiful Easter!
