Welcome to my blog-I hope you enjoy!

May's Pendant

 Here is my May Pendant for Art For The Creative mind.  Theme was a Christmas Carol.  I choose Hark The Herald Angel Sing.
 The angel and bells came from a find I found with vintage cake decorations,  I painted the angel and added some gold to her.  The bells already had this cool finish.  I used some vintage material and vintage doily and added the brsss butterfly to finish it off.
I sure hope my swap partner like it.

Tin Photo Album Book

 This is another class I took with Joni Russell.  The cover is copper that we used patina to age-wused solder on the cover.  We Made the tin photos
 We learned to bind the book.
 I love this project and the book is a treasure.






Enamel - Joni Russell




I took a class with Joni Russell.  I was so much fun learning how to enamel.  Joni is a great teacher. Joni showed us how to enamel medal beads, making enameled head pins, a pendant, and the wonderful bracelets.  We used a torch and a kiln.

A Little Late

I made this last year and just found the picture-so a little late posting but here it is

Come Fly

 Already sold-I just finish this necklace and it was gone.  So happy.  For the base I used a brass filigree -Used Patina for all medal by Ranger for the color -sealed with a medal sealer.  Added the plane after I aged it a little.  Attached the crystal & the chain.

Silver

 I had these left over after using the lids for note holders.  I decided to drill holes and add vintage crystals - they catch great light when hung by a window.




Tussie Mussie

 I love maxing these-I covered the cone in paper then added some embellishments-put some strips of paper in the cone added the little bird.


Tube Necklaces

 I used tube fuses-for the necklaces-added some German glass grittier and a printed word for the inside.

Keys

Fun and quick necklaces.  Just wire wrap the keys, make a loop and add the chain.
