White Kitty Necklace handpainted on Wood - just finished

Instead of making the usual quick, mass produced sorta necklace where a color copy print is adhered to a wooden tile or pendant  I decided to handpaint mine instead and of course I chose a kitty to decorate my first necklace!  I've outlined the various steps required in making the necklace in this blog (see past posts over the last couple of days) and finally, finally, it's done and now for sale in my shop ($19): http://KathyCrabbeArt.com White Kitty Handpainted Wooden Necklace by Kathy Crabbe

How To Make a Cat Necklace Step 3, 4 & 5

Here is my first ever hand painted cat necklace - I'm documenting the progress on my blog and soon will post this necklace for sale in my shop:  http://KathyCrabbeArt.com Step 4. Glaze and protect the finished handpainted wooden cat disc with Liquitex Gloss Medium & Varnish which makes it nice and shiny, but not sticky!

Step 5. Apply E6000 adhesive to the silver bail and attach to the back of the wooden disc.

Gluing the bail onto the wooden disc

Step 6. Hand paint my name and the date on the back of the wooden disc - it's extra special now, in all ways!
