the pendant emporium

Spirit of the Night art pendant
"I've always loved art, and repurposing fine art, antique fairytale illustrations, the whimsical and the slightly odd into wearable pieces has become an obsession these last few years. My 34-year old son (Dan, the computer guru) has been helping with copper work and craft shows for over 20 years now (he started young) and is now an integral part of ThePendantEmporium. We hope you enjoy wearing these little pieces as much as we enjoy making them!"

Summoning.
"♥ My real name is Schin Loong but I have also been painting under the artist name Luciole Loong from 1998 to 2007. Therefore some of my art bear the signature Luc or Luciole. Some may recognize my art from luciole.deviantart.com, the art portfolio site where I first developed my work.
♥ I have three black moor goldfishes named Moon, Star and Scrimshaw. They're making a plan to escape, I know it.
♥ I also have a grey kitty named Rice Purridge, and SHE'S making an even more elaborate plan to get at the goldfishes. I know this too.
♥ One of my favorite things are lava lamps. Actually, most of my creative powers come from the magical lava lamp blobs. Shh.. don't tell anyone.
BIO: My name is Schin Loong and I have been painting professionally since I was 17. My fantasy artwork has been featured on the front cover of The Peppertree Magazine and ImagineFX: Fantasy & Sci-Fi Art as well as the Society of Illustrators and Exotique 5 & 6: The World's Most Beautiful CG Characters, Popcorn: One The Cutting Edge of Comics Art, Darkstalkers Artbook, Digital Arts and Digital Artists Magazine.
I started painting my Barbie dolls as a young child. I thought it was pretty neat and decided that's what I want to do forever, and I never looked back. I use a combination of watercolors, pastels and digital media to create my artwork. Each painting takes me anywhere from one day ('The Red Geisha') to two weeks ('The Ascension') to complete.
The objective of my painting is so I could offer something beautiful to the world. I wanted to paint the most inspiring, gentle, lovely scenes for people to ponder at and hopefully make their day a little more beautiful. I have a wide variety of subjects in my work because as I grow up, my aesthetic for beauty has changed. In this shop, you can see both my new and old art styles and see how I have evolved as an artist.
Inspiration is everywhere, it’s just a matter of recognizing it. Music, colors, texture, facial expressions; all kinds of beautiful things are inspirational. However, I think I have grown to love feminine aesthetics most of all. Anything that is soft, gentle and curvy is really stimulating for me and I love to paint the beauty that is woman."

hand sculpted treasure box
"...the strength that my mother bestowed to me came through. I had a vision. I felt a warm golden light above me and heard a voice telling me that it was not over, my dreams were actually about to begin. I still had stories to tell, I still had dreams to live. So, though my body was weak, my spirit was not, as I began to sculpt and paint in my pockets of wellness. This artwork is a result of an incredibly passionate soul bursting through the body of a man determined to manifest his childhood dreams. Each piece of art that I create tells a story. Every piece carries a message, a chapter, a dream.
Please enjoy my art and remember to dream your biggest dreams. I dedicate my art to all people living with invisible diseases and other hardships that the world cannot always see. We are in this world together. So lift your spirits high my friends, and join me in being a dreamer..."

betty's fantasy

Betty's Fantasy is a place where fairies fly and innocence rules over all. A place where you can be yourself and embrace your imagination~ This little habitat is one of many that are made only at Betty's Fantasy. We are the first to offer such a natural design, the idea was born here. There will be others who will try to copy (we hope not..), but they can never capture the quality, love and magic that goes into each piece as it does from Betty's Fantasy. Each piece of rock and wood is naturally gathered on a private shore of magnificent Lake Ontario.

Pink & Yellow Fairy Costume

I completed my second Blythe doll fairy costume today. They have two removable tutus made from tuelling (you can switch what color to put on top, or put let your doll wear one), and a hand-beaded collar. I can't get over all the wonderful comments and people who are favoriting the photos via flickr! All these remarks have inspired me to sew one or two of these costumes and put them in my etsy store, and see if they will sell. Now to decide on what colors would be most popular. Next, I have to make another custom fairy outfit in aqua & pink.
