New Art NECKLACES from Kelly Buntin Johnson
Artist/jeweler Kelly Buntin Johnson sent over images of some of her newest pieces are they are really exceptional… take a look ~ these are perfect for Mother’s Day!!
Kelly will be showcasing these necklaces, along with more of her jewelry collection, this Saturday {5.8.10} at Missouri Bluffs in Weston, MO for those of you in the area. Or you can always visit Kelly’s website HERE and contact her directly.
Because May is the month of Mary, and because the 8th is the day before Mommy’s Day, this newest body of work honors the Blessed Mother. There is also a Jesus necklace {BELOW}.
The images are actual collages with some stitching and hand sewn glass seed beads on some of the images. These are then protected within a pendant of metal case and domed acrylic lens built by Kelly’s husband, who is also an esteemed artist, Rhett Johnson.

Thanks for posting these Fancy. I had fun sorting through my antique European holy card collection in search of images of Our Lady for this body of work. Each image was printed on paper, then transferred with an acrylic medium. This transferred image then was collaged with words, cut out and affixed to surface, stitching on some and then hand sewn glass seed beads on a few. Each pendant is strung with antique glass beads, stones, fresh water pearls and sterling clasps. A work of art as well as a spiritual token to wear round your neck.
