Califoria Poppy

[DawninCal]

The California Poppy is California's state flower and they come in the most brilliant shade of orange you have ever seen. Unfortunately, dried flowers don't usually retain their bright colors, but I've done my best to preserve one of these special flowers.

The fern like leaves of the poppy are in the background while the flower itself is the star of the show. It has been placed in a vintage bezel and sealed in resin. I found the back of the bezel to be almost as interesting at the poppy! A hand crafted chain of antiqued bronze chain links and vintage bronze beads stamped with a flower design complements the pendant.









Thanks for looking!

So beautiful, Dawn. The chain complements the pendant perfectly and I love the back of the pendant, too.

Absolutely beautiful, Dawn! California poppies are among my favorites. So special to see one preserved as a jewelry piece. And yes, the back of the necklace is pretty enough to be the front.

Thank you both!

They are one of my favorite flowers. My across the street neighbor has an abundance of them and pulls unwanted seedlings. He gave me five of them about a months ago, and to my surprise all are doing well. Once is getting ready to flower! Besides wanting to enjoy their natural beauty, my hope is that they will establish themselves in my yard and garden giving me a supply of poppy flowers to use for future projects.

I love this two sided pendant. The yellow poppy is well preserved in the resin. This necklace is a unique thing of beauty.

Somehow I missed this one!

It's a lovely little piece of art, the back of it is gorgeous too.
