Got a friend named Susan Murtaugh who is a wonderful woman who did some wonderful/generous things for me and my family out of the kindness of her heart. She is an artist, traditional painter, graphic artist and now digital artist, specifically on IPad/IPods. Check out her art at: www.flickr.com/photos/suzi54241

I really wanted to surprise a thank you to her and so….. I took one of her digital paintings that she uses a lot on different print/marketing things ~ I just guessed she liked it a lot because she has used it a lot! I am showing her scaled down black and white drawing with cut out sterling pieces shown above. I wanted her drawing to be on an IPad as a pendant but I wanted the pendant to hang the long way so I had to modify the picture to fit.

Here is the mock up before soldering. The pendant is about 1 3/4 inches by 1 inch. The apple is for the back of the pendant.

This is the back and below is the final piece.

I mailed this to Susan and she got it today. She seemed to be over-joyed as I hoped she would be. Again, Thank You Susan for being an amazingly generous person, teacher and mentor to all artists, woman, children ~ anyone willing to learn with an open mind. Thank You so much for all you do. It does not go unnoticed or unappreciated!
