I used to travel and have wonderful memories of my favorite cities. I love to make pendants using old maps to remind me of those places.

I cut out old map sections of my favorite places and copy them to make etchings in silver, or just cover the map with resin and sandwich it into a frame for a pendant.

I enjoy taking old memories and making them into new pendants!
