Old Souls

This is a pendant I made for me, which doesn't happen that often xD For some time I've had this idea of representing me and my fiancée (Oka) in a pendant so I can wear it. I also wanted to participate in this month's Artisan Craft Themed Challenge, this month's theme is hearts and I thought I should finally make this, the idea has been sitting in the back of my head for a while...

We met when he was 15 and I was 16 (we're now 24 and 25) and liked each other immediately. We were always the weird ones because we never did any of the stuff our friends or other couples our age were doing (we still don't lol), and all of our activities were considered for old people xD at some point we decided that we were born with old souls and that was why none of those activities attracted us.

I made this pendant to reflect our "old souls". I was inspired by stained glass, specially from old cathedrals with bright colors and distressed surroundings. I gave it some texture and dry-brushed it gold for that antique look. It was a very laborious work to place the glitter without it going where it was not supposed to xD the green represents Oka because his eyes are green, and the pink is me because I thought the glitter was purple and I can't fix that mistake now but I ended up liking the combination, so I'll call that a lucky mistake xD

Materials: Polymer clay, sculpey glitter, TLS, acrylic paints, a stamp.
