Locket Photo Album

*sigh* memories...

Ok, so my bottle cap locket didn't last as long as I wanted it to, so I made this one a while back and added all the photos/pictures from the old locket to this one. I used polymer clay to make a copy of the wax seal I used on my bottle cap locket, and made another replica of the wax seal to stick on the locket. In one side of the locket are pictures I drew, and on another side is of my family at my 16th birthday, and my dog who passed later that year.
