Sixpence



Thre's a kind of lettering style that I really like. Kind of old fashioned, but I imagine it was really modern at the time it was new.

I made this faux bookboard pendant charm with the word "SIXPENCE" clearly visible, as though it was on an advertising placket or cut from an old book board.

The color is a dark red-brown. It has the two holes in the corners for chain, wire wrapped beads or heavy jump rings to be attached.

I put this one in the expeditionD Etsy shop, I had one like it last November, I just got in the mood to make more last weekend.

Art Deco lettering, very vintage looking.
