BFF from the Past...

When I find antique photos in second hand stores, I like to look closely at the people, their faces and expressions, their clothes.  I wonder where they lived and what they did.  I wish I could match them up to their rightful family and reunite them again.  Sometimes, I take them home with me!  Here's an example of a necklace and pendant with a vintage photo of some friends all sitting together in a group photograph of school students. The girls are sitting close together with their hands clasped.  A vintage photo of bffs.  I found the original photo at the Second Time Around Store.  
Here I've cut, stamped, etched, filed and then soldered a bezel strip to make a frame on a brass sheet.  I sized the picture and poured ICE Resin over it and added a small rose.  I used  E6000 glue for cold connecting the rhinestone chain I bought from www.etsy.com/shop/vintagefairyfinds.
 I added several wire wraps and copper chain for the necklace.
Cherish friends says it all.  Have a great day!  Julie
