Description:

For this swap you will make 1 stunning Frida NECKLACE for 1 partner. This swap is for a somewhat elaborate and unique creation.

The pendant part of the necklace must incorporate an image of Frida Kahlo. It can be a self-portrait, photo or if you're good at drawing and painting a hand-painted Frida would be wonderful.

The pendant part can be made from whatever medium you like but must be sturdy and durable. You can make it from scratch using jewellery findings, lockets or picture/cabochon frames or alter existing items such as dominoes, bamboo tiles, bottle caps, small metal shrines etc.

Size wise the pendant part of the necklace should be around 2 - 3 inches.

The necklace part can be made from a combination of glass beads and chain, or a combination of different style chains or different glass or stone beads, even recycled vintage necklaces. You can also incorporate milagros, sugar skulls, baubles, rhinestones etc into the piece to add that unique Frida essence.

Please spend time and effort creating a necklace your partner will love to wear and that Frida herself would have been proud to show off. You do not need to use expensive supplies but make it special. DO NOT just hang a pendant on a ball chain. DO NOT use plastic, wooden or kiddie-craft beads. .

Please check you partners profile for preferred necklace length, any dislikes and favourite colours etc.

You must have a rating of 4.9 or above and be rated for at least 15 type 3 swaps to join this swap.

I will check profiles thoroughly before assigning partners.

Any questions please feel free to ask.

You can easily google info on Frida Kahlo to see lots of self portraits and photos of her. Also check out Frida jewellery on flickr and etsy.com for inspiration.

Oh, I so wish I had the skill for this one!

OK then....are we to prepare a pendant with or without a chain? The chain might be a bit of a problem as you'll not be able to tell what length would be best for your partner (depending on their size/height, this could be a real slippery slope). Also sending pendant sans chain would keep shipping costs at a minimum since this is an International swap.. I for one would prefer to choose my own chain/necklace.

Thanks for your question EmmaPaperclip. Sorry for any confusion : ) I've just edited the description to make it clearer. This swap is for a finished NECKLACE not just a pendant.
