This is the story of a feathered girl
with a clockwork heart.
And her magician love who,
at long last, fashioned the key
And her magician love who,
at long last, fashioned the key
that allowed her to fly.
As promised, a little steampunk pendant doodle for you. I made this on a whim, after finding the available tutorials a little thin on the ground. This little key pendant is now, hands down, my favorite piece of jewelry! I started with an old quartz watch and a key I've had lying around for years, waiting for just this moment to shine. And let me say ... I think old keys (especially little ones) are magical all by themselves.
I didn't really know where I was going until I opened the watch. I've never taken a watch apart before (I know, I haven't lived, clearly had no childhood etc). And when I saw the mechanism, I felt like a magpie! Much more appealing than I was expecting it to be.
