As the wife of a sci-fi and comic fan, I've been introduced to characters and shows that I normally would have never seen. I've visited comic book stores and watched shows with him, and it dawned on me. I always see tees and other items geared toward the male fans, but not much in the way of cute and girly items, like a cute "girl cut" tee, but even more so, jewelry. I've been making custom portrait and logo jewelry for quite a while, and have perfected my craft as far as knowing what materials will last and how to deliver the best product possible to my customers, but now, it's time to kick it up a little.
A few weeks ago, while at an antique mall, my hubby found a 1960's Superman comic and was going to buy it for his collection. As I was looking through it, the thought came to me. How awesome would it be to make pendants, rings and bracelets with vintage comics! I had a family portrait session that day (covering a 90th birthday) and couldn't wait to get started. From this idea, the #GeekGirlAccessories line came to fruition. I mean, seriously, wouldn't it be fun to be able to wear stylish accessories that feature some of your favorite things? The rectangle pendants could make your business attire more bearable, or just worn with your favorite tee! My sweet husband went through his comics and decided that he could part with a few, so in addition to my Superman jewelry, I was able to make some Avengers and X-Men pieces, which I currently have for sale.

These are available for purchase, along with more that aren't pictured here on the blog, including some Dr. Who T.A.R.D.I.S. pendants. Do you have a certain character/series you'd like me to feature on a pendant, made especially for you? Shoot me a message at jphillips@Hisfingerprintphotography.com and let me know what you'd like. Special orders can take up to 2 weeks, but if I already have it in stock or have a comic with that character already, 5-7 days would be typical. $3.00 shipping in the continental US, other places based on estimated shipping costs. The square pendants run $15.00 each and the rectangle pendants (featured above) are $20.00 each. All of them come with a silver plated ball chain necklace.
