More resin madness!

Three charms, two are double-sided.

Queen Bee!

Paris goodies!

One side on this one- and the colors ran a bit. :( No idea why. The seal might not have been completely dry before I added the resin.

Same technique as always, but I'm experimenting with different types of resin (no two-part mixes yet). Mostly I've been using Mod Podge Dimensional Magic, but I tried JudiKins Diamond Glaze. Diamond dries harder and faster, but Mod Podge is easier to pour. Takes 24 hours to harden, though. Aileen's Paper Glaze works well, too. I've had fewer bubbles with Aileen's.

I'm not going to attempt a two-part resin like ICE until my technique is very, very good.

Laughing out loud!

Just made this last night:

I love working with Scrabble letters! I just got this batch in:

I've already used up all the F's, G's, M's, and L's. I need more. :(

For Mets fans...

The season hasn't even started yet, but based on past seasons, this is good advice to follow:

Photobucket

I made the memory frame pendant with an image I found on metsblog.com. Too bad there isn't a "Now Panic and Freak Out" to put on the other side. Knowing the Mets, it might be needed...

I plan to add baseball and bat charms later.

Lots of stuff today!

Found even more clip art to use for jewelry from http://www.etsy.com/shop/UniqueBanners?ga_ref=auto&ga_search_query=1+inch+collage+sheets+inchies&ga_search_type=handmade&ga_facet=handmade .
I made three pendants:

Also put together some Scrabble letters in internet slang:

I wanted to make more, but I broke a few letters while drilling. I'd like to do "LOL", "BFF", and others.

More "charming" Paris pieces!

I may re-do these because of the bubbles- but this is what I have so far:

I probably need to use a better resin.

Scrabble tiles!

I put these together last night.

The images are from http://cloud9kreations.com/shop/. I re-sized and stretched them a bit so they would fit the tiles, then glued them to a tile and covered them with ModPodge Dimensional Magic.

These are so easy to do!

More charming stuff!

Another addition to my New York/London/Paris necklace plan: New York!

Photobucket

I found a little Brooklyn Bridge charm, and the picture came from an old American Airlines travel poster. Now I need to figure out how I'm going to assemble the final piece!

Girls in a toy car:

Another fabulous old photo found at http://www.graphicsfairy.blogspot.com/ . I sponged a bit of copper ink on the photo for some color, then glued a little old fashioned car charm to the frame. I may cut off the top ring and make this into a pin instead of putting it on a chain.
