Drawing on this concept, the image of a bird, taken from an original illustration of mine, has been transferred onto one side of this vintage optical lens. Flip it over and you will find a birdcage, also of my own creation.
It works just like a regular Thaumatrope - spin the pendant and with a little practice you will see bird appear inside the cage! Stop the spinning and you will see the bird has cleverly escaped...

• The chain is silver plated and 26 inches long.
• The pendant is about 3.5cm (1.5 inches) across and made from a silver-coloured metal.
The main body of the pendant is glass onto which transfers have been applied and then sealed with artist's varnish.
This necklace is designed to be long so you can create the illusion whilst you're wearing it.
Wear it as regular necklace or clasp it in a different way to create a longer, drop-down effect.
Whilst this necklace is waterproof to a certain extent, please do not wear it in the shower, expose it to condensation or submerge it in water!
Please note that the materials used to make the pendant are vintage stock. It is also intentionally distressed. As such you may find some imperfections which surely add to its charm.
This necklace is a delicate art piece. Please take care whilst wearing it.
