Stained Glass..

I chanced upon the tutorial video of Charlene Thieren on how to make a Faux Stained Glass Egg . It was very well done and easy to understand:) 

I thought of making a focal for a bracelet using this technique. I'm so happy to try it because I have another use for my fimo deco gel and alcohol inks. 

Here's what I made: 

The hard part was making the borders because I don't have a reliable clay extruder so I have to do it manually. So not all of the strips are equal in thickness.



Still some overflowing here and there but I really like the technique! I think I'm going to make an elaborate piece using this technique....and maybe mix it with my swellegant experiments! haha

I will be announcing the winner of my little game later. Pls. watch out for it!! 

TGIF again!! Happy weekend everyone!

A brooch and Turquoise Heart..


I'm in the process of completing an order for a client. I'm making 13 bag tags that look like this...


Wish me luck! haha:) I get bored easily when I make the same design over and over again. So to cut the monotony, I make other projects in between. I made a brooch and played with my patinas again while making the tags.


I don't know how to string this pendant. I really love the swellegant combination that I used with this! I love the rust!!

here's the brooch!

 I'm happy that I made a clean backing for it. 

when worn,  I think it will also look really nice pinned on a scarf!

So now..I have to go back to regular programming! haha:) 

One more day to go and I will be announcing the winner of my little game in my Facebook Page. You still have until tom to join. I will be giving away something like this..



Have a fun thursday everyone!

Wires and clay..

I made two new statement necklaces. Balancing the elements took so much time. But I hope I balanced them out! I experimented with wires and added them to the sides of the flowers. I like how they turned out. Here they are..

 
Played with swellegant again in making this piece. I'm going to use this for a wedding. :)


Something dainty. I really like the effect of Inka gold on  the petals of the flowers. Planning on making enamel flowers! I hope I will get it right. 


hope you like what I made! TGIF!!! Have a happy weekend! :D

Before my workshop with her, my claying mojo took a leave haha! So in order for it to come back, I again rearranged my workspace! I already used the table that we bought before in Ikea!! I love how I fixed my new working nook! Here are some pics:
