A vintage Art Nouveau style metal pressing with the image of a crane standing in a marsh became the inspiration for my fourth National Park pendant: Great Sand Dunes National Park in Colorado. I was thinking one of our National Parks must have the Sand Hill Cranes in abundance during their migration and that's how I found this one. I've not been to it, but I understand that the area where they migrate is not open to the public or too remote to get to in any case. So I see them peacefully hanging out communing with each other and getting their fill of the marsh land.
Ingredients:
* vintage metal pressing
* art glass cabochon by Mikelene Reusse - has fine silver dots melted into the top
* pyrite coated with gold
* sterling silver
* waxed linen
* 16" sterling silver chain
This pendant is 3.5 inches from the top of the metal pressing to the bottom of the glass cabochon dangle.
