This week on Mixed Media Monday Beth is back as our guest host with another very imaginative challenge - personal myths and symbols. Wings appear in my art all the time, whether it's birds, butterflies or winged people! Like a lot of artists, for me wings symbolise freedom. That's my aim with my art, to try to loosen up, lighten up and be a lot "freer" with what I do. This pendant was made with a gold tone tray, into which I put a tiny collage, featuring a vintage child. The bird is a gorgeous little gold charm attached with some wire wrapping. Another fun challenge, thanks Beth!

Thank you too for your sweet comments - I got the balsa wood from a craft store and cut it with a sharp craft knife.

I'm loving seeing your mixed media jewelry pieces, Diane! I know what you mean about wings, I am so in awe of birds and how they defy gravity. ~Sharon
What a beautiful little pendant you have made Diane, wonderful work as always.
So pretty, what a gorgeous piece!
Wow Dianne, what beautiful art work, just stunning. I would love to be able to create jewellery like this. Love the wings too, I have tended to use butterflies with some birds, but freedom to play and experiment, love it.
Keep inspiring us.
