Painted pendants by Linda Whiting

Linda painted the images on all three of these pendants. She also made the rectangular pendant from clay, then bisque fired it, and painted the calla lily. The giraffe and panda pendants are painted with artist's enamel on shells. Each is then sealed with jewelry glaze. Her pendants retail for between $10 to $35, and she welcomes custom orders. Contact Linda at lrwhiting@centurytel.net or visit yessy.com/lrwhiting to see her collection of pendants as well as her other art work.
