Yesterday I got an eagerly awaited package. 15 new pendants! I opened them to discover beautiful square silver lockets with glass on either side, in which I could put a double sided painting. I absolutely love the idea of the glass, and the double sided possibilities. As soon as I removed the packing peanuts, chased Margot, threw away half eaten packing peanuts, and cut open the cardboard and bubble wrap carefully protecting each pendant, I realized I should have measured out the dimensions before ordering. 1 1/2 inches by 1 1/2 inches is a lot bigger than you might think. The other square pendants I have are an inch by an inch. Wow, that 1/2 inch on either side sure makes a difference. Not only in size, but in the possibility of what I can paint on there! I could easily fit 4 or 5 dogs (on each side), instead of 1 or 2! Yet on the other hand, will enough people want to wear this size to make it worth my while to offer it as an option? I think so. Here are some pictures of the new pendant. Please let me know what you think!
Here is a photo with a longer cord. Please keep in mind everyone has their own "perfect length" depending on width of neck, size of bosom, etc. When I sell my necklaces, I'm selling the painting. I expect (and suggest) that many buyers will put the pendant on their own chain of choice. 
Would anyone want to wear something that large you ask? Big necklaces are all the rage! I often wear all black and one killer over-the-top necklace. I say go for it!!!
ReplyDeleteI think that the large size is awesome and would really work on a longer cord so that it hit lower than the chest.
ReplyDeleteI love the nest painting and I think the necklaces are cool, but definitely big. My opinion is to order a few more and have that size as an option (especially since you can do multiple dogs and have lots more opportunities to be creative with them!), but keep a bigger stash of the smaller sizes becuase I think those ones will sell more. You rock, HeatherKent!
ReplyDeleteI agree with both of the above comments! That big is AWESOME and that a longer cord might look a bit better.
ReplyDeleteI agree with all of the above comments! I don't know if its an illusion of the photo or the actual painting, but it has more of a 3 dimensional feel. I like the look of it.
ReplyDeletei think it's really cool on the long cord and makes a bold statement too! go for it! :)
ReplyDeleteI prefer to wear your now in-between size as "jewelry". However, you can certainly be creative with the larger and promote more of the artwork itself. Maybe the larger would look interesting as a pin instead of a pendant.
ReplyDeleteI think they are beautiful! I love the "statement" size with a long chord. They are so unique that they "MUST"been seen.
ReplyDeleteLovely!
Hmm I still prefer the smaller size but I definitely think the bigger ones would sell too. The longer chain looks good!
ReplyDeleteThanks, everyone! I really appreciate your feedback!
