Tools and supplies: cutters, crimping pliers, Win-Ox™ (#86-343)
TIPS:
* For a deeper, more interesting finish, antique the pendant frame with Win-Ox.
* For durability and flexibility, make copies and laminate images for frame.
* The images are free floating inside the pendant frame, and can be alternated as desired.
Design Inspiration: The grime, and alternately glimpses of beauty, in cityscapes.
