"FROGGY WENT 'A COURTIN'!"

This was a darling (1" X 1-1/2") soldered picture pendant made
with lead-free 'silvergleem solder', the only solder with real silver
which shows in the extra, added glimmer and shine. The pendant is
made from a vintage postcard of "Dancing Frogs" and on the reverse
side (which you can wear as well) is the saying: "too much stress
will make you croak." My cousin sent me this from Ohio.
It's a very high quality, hand-painted piece. I made a simple
yet elegant Ndebele rope pulling the colors from the pendant -
little touches of red match Froggie's jacket and the apple-green
pulls from the frog's under throat. This dude is charming Miss Froggy;
yes he is!
Two necklaces in one!
