Little Turtle

Hello everybody, today I have a necklace to share with you.  The project took me outside my comfy zone, however our proximity to the Pacific Ocean gave me the inspiration for this little sea turtle, I thought it would make the perfect summer statement.  I applied a couple layers of ICED Enamels on the Turtle blank/body (click on how to use ICED Enamels below.)  I made the little turtle's shell with polymer clay, and Circles Three die, then added a couple of coats of ICE Resin, and let it dry.  Then added a little triangle as a charm with a flower.

How to Use ICED Enamels

 Remember, when using the heat gun don't let the heat stay in one place very long, it  can burn or warp your clay.  Please remember that the surface will be very hot regardless if its metal or clay, so let it sit for a few minutes before touching.

Little Bird

Hello there, hope all is well with you.  As for me I've lost my mojo at the moment, so I thought if I sat down to color this lovely image using my Copic Markes, and PrismaColor Pencils I would get it back... it helped, but I'm still working on the mojo.  For the rest of the card, it's just some layering, with ribbons and bows.  What do you do to get your mojo back?, I would love to know.

In the mean time I've been working around the house doing a mini Spring cleaning. It really needs it for sure.

All My Love - Card

Hi there, I'm back again today with one more Mother's Day card, I think this one is my favorite.  I like working with pastel colors, and Melissa Frances cardstock was a perfect fit for this small card.  Once again I used a new Spellbinders die called Ornamental Tags One, then stamped my sentiment. I made the flower with a light pink cardstock, then painted the petals with a paint brush and White Gesso so it would be a white/pink combination (very light in color).  Finally, I added foam tape between each layer, and assembled as shown.

That's it for me today, but I'll be back soon.  Remember you can click on the pictures for a better view, and all supplies are listed below with links.

Thanks Mom - Card

Hello again, here's another sweet and simple card for Mom :)  I like Spellbinders die set called; "Just Swingin'", and thought it was time to give it a try.  The hills were created by cutting two separate sheets of vanilla cardstock with the A2 Curved Borders One die that were cut the width of the card, then flipped two different ways.  I air brushed the hills, and sky with Copic Markers, then tied a bow on the tree.  I am in the process of making another card using the "Just Swingin'" die that will have more detail involved.

That's it for me today, but I'll be back soon.  Remember you can click on the pictures for a better view, and all supplies are listed below with links.

Wire Necklace

Hello there, today's project was a blast to make, and challenging at the same time... But I love a challenge :)  I'm determined to learn how to make jewelry of all kinds using many techniques.  I've posted other jewelry projects, each project I applied something new I've learned, so today's new item is wire wrapping.  I found a wonder tutorial at  Jewelry Lessons by Eylene Olsen, called Elegant "S" Link Chain.  Although I didn't make her bracelet, I did use her idea to make the chain for this necklace.  I've mentioned before how much I enjoy  working with Spellbinders Bezels, die templates, Susan Lenart Kazmer ICE Resin®,  and polymer clay as shown here, and here.

I have received many emails asking if I'm going to continue making cards, and the answer is yes.  I've been away from home quite a bit the last few weeks, and it's easier taking wire, bezels, and the small amount of tools I need to make jewelry while I'm away.  I must admit I love making jewelry, I don't wear it, but I enjoy making it.  Remember "Explore Beyond".

Mother's Day Card

Hello again, today's project is a design I've been making since 2004... the hat card.  Previous cards are posted in my gallery on Splitcoaststampers.  Back in 2004 I made my flowers by stamping images, then cutting out each layer.  Today I use Spellbinders wonderful die templates that give a real 3D look (progress is a good thing).  Whenever I make this little hat, I'm always asked for the template, here is the link.  I used the same supplies for the hat as I did for the box here, the little hat (card), and the box for the gift, will be given to my wonderful Mother-in-law for Mother's Day :)
