Microscope Necklaces

These necklaces are made from 2 microscope slides (hence they are double sided) encased in a metal frame.

The 'Fresh as a daisy' necklace has 3 flowers stamped on the front, the darker pink flower is made from stamped organza as is the centre of the bottom flower. The flowers are outlined in fine glitter (for a little glamour) and then a suspension of mica powder and water is sprayed over to help blend the colours and add a very sheer golden glow. The rear of the necklace had glossed flower centres to add just a small amount of dimension.


'Time and Tide' is stamped on vintage book pages with a blue organza sea attached by sewing with goldwork embroidery thread.  The rear is stamped and a little fine glitter is added to the watch face edges.


'Time Flies' uses vintage book pages, stamped and coloured.  Some vintage lace is added and cogs from watches are hand filed to make them as thin as practicable to fit within the microscope slides.


Please contact me if you'd like to know where these are stocked.
