Some new jewellery playing this weekend

Hi all. Well my plan on Friday was to make some Christmas cards but that didn't happen as the day didn't go according to plan. I haven't been slacking this weekend though as I've still been creative.

I've been trying out some new techniques. The first on Saturday afternoon was learning how to make jewel enamel pendants etc with some fellow jewellery makers. Here's the pictures.

Then in the evening I was so hooked on my new found technique I decided to have another play. I made these.

Then on Sunday Morning I decided I would play some more. I made some more pendants by filling bezels. These I have added resin to the top to give a lovely domed finish. I also added resin to one of the pendants I made on Saturday.

I also used some resin in some moulds to create various pieces.

These two hearts have been coloured with perfect pearls and die.

These two I have added in some guiding flakes. I did these ones in two stages.

I also made some earrings. They still need to be made into earings but the bezels have been filled.

In the afternoon have a go at making the cabucons I had created into wire wrapped pendants.

Here's how they turned out.

I still have some of my jewel enamel pieces to make into completed projects so watch this space.

Bank Holiday Monday and this morning was playing with more wire. But this time I have been playing with wire and beads to create wire herringbone bracelets. I have made 7 bracelets in total.

Here they are:

This first one is amethyst and fire polished crystals.

This one is rainbow pyrite.

The rest are made with beads from my stash (pearls, crystals etc).

Well that's it for now. Off to be creative again. I will check back in tomorrow.

Take care and thanks for looking.

Mixed media clock

Hi all I'm back today to share a clock I've made. I started it yesterday evening by adding the texture building stages using white crackle texture paste drying after. Then used various stencils and embossing paste. I dried this and then added a coat of black gesso and left it to dry over night. This morning I added some colour onto it using Pebeo Dyna paints. I added die cut numbers cut out of silver mirror card. However I wasn't happy with it as it was too dark for what I wanted it for and thought the silver numbers didn't go with it. So I sat back and looked at it and decided I wanted it lighter. Well no loss as out came my heavy white gesso and I gave it a good coating. Before adding the white gesso I sanded the numbers slightly so that the paint could adhere better and this also gave extra texture. I dried this off and added the Dyna paints again and some Art Alchemy Opal Magic in Rose Gold. Well I felt much happier with how it was lookin

Birthday Card Trio

Hello all, I'm back again with another post for you. This time I've got three cards to show you. These are all made with products from Crafter's Companion. The 1st is another dragon card made using one of the Lee Holland Dragon stamps. I love these little characters :) I've had coloured this using spectrum noir colour blend pencils. I just love how much of a fun looking card you can make with these stamps. Next is a card made using a unicorn stamp. This has also been hand coloured with pencils. I've also used some backing papers and matt mirror and glitter card from Sara's Enchanted forest collection. Finally I've made a card using my Crafter's Companion BeBunni CD. It's a while since I've used this cd but I forgot how cute these little bunnies are. All of the cards have been personalised with die cut numbers and letters for the names. Hope to see you all again soon. Rachel
