New jewelry - New product! So many possibilities!

-
I started using a molding compound known as , Apoxie® Sculpt, 2-part epoxy.  It comes in different colors and a while ago I ordered the black one. I ordered from http://www.firemountaingems.com and I liked the results of my first few projects so I ordered a pack of different colors, that I can't wait to get.  This is such and easy product to use - I wish I had started using it when I first order it - but since I'm always working on other projects , I left this alone for too long.  My goal is to make my own rings from this material alone.  I also ordered Swarovski crystal rhinestones in different colors and sizes so I can bling my rings! LOL

Here are pictures of the three rings I've done so far and I also made a pendant - these are all free form made, had no idea what I was going to make when I started to work on these and well these are the final results - I LOVE, LOVE wearing my rings, you can see the sparkle of the beads I used even in the dark.  These pictures are not as clear as I would like them to be - but I will be retaking the pictures later on. I see so many different types of possibilities using this product, that I can hardly wait for my order to arrive. 


this has black beads in the center and on the rest of the ring I used tinsel glitter - dimensional magic was added to secure the glitter - used black apoxie sculpt to make this ring shape.

this ring was shaped with apoxie sculpt in black - just added the blue beads and once dried it was ready to wear (it takes three hours to cure - but I leave them overnight) 

this was actually my first ring - is much smaller but it has a dome shape - I had some white swarovski flat back crystals that I used and then filled the rest with multi color seed beads. 

here is my first attempt to making a pendant using this 2-part epoxy, just added  all different types  of beads and strung some to some head pins that are on the bottom - this is ready for a chord or chain and it's ready to wear, no glue was used  to hold these beads or any of the ones used on the rings - just the apoxie sculpt.

Thanks to a post a friend shared on Face Book, I took a string of lights that sparked on me when I was trying to use them outside, so I took off all the bulbs and the spare ones too and decided to turn them into ornaments, I thought about making jewelry too but the ornament idea won.  All I did was paint them over using Viva Decor's precious metal paints in gold and silver, to most of the bulbs. As you can see on the photos below, l used Viva Decor's precious metal paints in gold and silver to paint the most of the orange light bulbs, to some I just added some glitter by using Viva's glitter liner pens in copper, gold and fuchsia colors.  I did use some distress glitter in red and green from Ranger.    Once dried, I added wire hangers to all the light bulbs, added some gold snowflake wired garland to the neck of the bulbs and I did go over all the bulbs with more glitter and paints to add designs and patterns adding interest and dimension.

I joined a handmade holiday ornament swap! we are supposed to make two ornaments - one to swap and one to donate to the Charity Wings auction tree. Once we signed up for this swap we were assigned a partner, my partner asked I sent her both ornaments since she volunteers at Charity Wings.  I made three ornaments, one was glass, so just in case something went wrong there will still be two ornaments left, one for my partner and one for Charity Wings. All the ornaments sent to Charity Wings will  decorate a tree to be displayed in the Art Center for a week or two, afterwards in early December they will auction off the whole tree to raise funds for all their worthy causes! Here are the ornaments I made:   a glass ornament covered with polymer clay in different colors and added some glitter by using Viva Decor glitter liners  This ornament is made of  SCULPEY® ULTRALIGHT™ , added a template to the clay by using  TRANSLUCENT LIQUID   SCULPEY .   I used several Viva

Welcome to another great Festive Friday Hop, our host is Terri Sproul - make sure to start by visiting Terri’s blog      http://www.terrisproul.blogspot.com This Hop takes place every 2nd and 4th Friday of the month (except for December) – it’s a way to make our Christmas Cards early and come December we’ll be ready to share with all our friends and family. This is my card for this week.   My last card I used rub-ons, this time I decided to go with stamps.  I got some new paints at CHA last week and decided to give them a try along with a couple of markers.  let me know what you think.  Now my camera works, but my cable doesn't so I had to use my son's camera and well the photos are not very good, but if I can borrow a camera at work later on, I will try and replace them, for now I hope these photos are clear enough.  I really liked this card, and I think I'm going to try stamping a little bit more in the future.  Well thank you for stopping
