Yesterday, I was talking to an awesome friend of mine named Kim who lives in Florida...As it turned out, we started talking about our dads who have both passed on and how special their memories are to us.
Then, about 3 in the morning, I remembered a special pocket watch that someone had found for me in December while looking for vintage jewelry...I decided to make a mixed media piece for her to commemorate her special father.
The best part? The watch actually has "Dad" engraved on it...
a picture of Kim and her dad on Facebook and used
gel medium to put it inside and then sprinkled
"fairy dust" on it to signify magical memories.
Girl" and is dedicated to Kim.
