Pendants.
Watercolor Paper. I've been using this watercolor paper for YEARS and LOVE IT. I find this watercolor paper easier to work with than most and I love how the colors lay on it. 10/10 would recommend.
Watercolor Paint Set. This has been my go-to watercolor set for over 10 years. It's the first professional watercolor set I ever used and I love to take it with me everywhere! If I could only get one set this is the one!
In Conclusion
I based my watercolor necklace based on a bigger watercolor painting I did. These mini paintings can make great personalized gifts and they're a lot of fun to make! Sometimes painting smaller is a challenge but it also can be faster!
Enjoy your new one-of-a-kind, necklace! Be sure to tag @peacefulpaintdrop on social media to show off your creation!
