Organizing my studio and found an art piece I made two years ago. An original drawing set into a necklace I put together. Antiqued brass bits with antique glass and hematite details. The drawing is graphite on paper 1.1x1.5" I consider this more of a hanging painting. But she is wearable. Just fragile. If interested she's $50 shipped to your door 🖤 . . . #meganbesmirched #saltydamestudios #saltydame #springcleaning #beehive #pinkhair #pinkhairdontcare #love #hearts #bighair #wingedliner #wingedeyeliner #oneofakind #originalart #originalartwork #bigeyes #bigeyed #bigsadeyes #bigeyedart #bigeyedartist
