Vintage Butterfly Pendant

I got this beautiful Vintage Butterfly at a shop on Etsy. It has a history behind it too! It was among 4 other butterfly's back in an old garage. Then a Swarovski crystal was glued in the center to form the most gorgeous butterfly! I thought it would look great as a pendant. I added some more chain to the bottom and hung a blue Swarovski Crystal on it. I think it turned out to be a wonderful Vintage Necklace.

Antiqued Bronze Necklace

This is my newest piece. I used an Amazonite stone that I bought quite a few years back and wire wrapped it so that it looked like it has a cap on it. I connected it to a beautiful antiqued bronze filagree leaf. I added a key charm for more effect. The going trend in jewelry now are charms. I have quite a few so I hope to incorporate them into my designs.

Etsy Gift Shop

Hi Everyone,

I haven't posted in a while. I have been busy trying to figure out how to post my jewerly to Etsy... I have such a hard time taking the photos. Anyway I have a few items up for sale and will be putting more up when I can.

This Candy Jade faceted drop made a beautiful and simple necklace. I used a gun metal chain and wrapped the Jade drop with gun metal wire. http://www.etsy.com/view_listing.php?listing_id=30034443listing_id=30034443

Domino Pendants - Coloring with Prismacolor Pencils

Here are two more pendants that I have colored with Prismacolor Pencils and framed with a black magic marker. I then spray Krylon matte finish over them to preserve the pendant and keep it water proofed. I added some 14K gold to the butterfly wings and the ea rings on the green girl. You probably can't see it in the photo that well. Sorry. These are stamped with Enchanted Gallery Rubber Stamps on larger domino's.

Pounded Antiqued Copper Heart Pendant

I made this pendant from some Antiqued & Pounded Copper Hearts I bought at the Gem Fair. I used copper chain and some Swarovski Crystals to help accent the hearts. The copper hearts were fabricated by Patrica Healey. She has a beautiful collection of copper findings and it is hard to pick out just a few. I have purchased quite a few of her pendants in the past.

Domino Pendants - Prismacolor Pencils - Butterfly

This is the same butterfly stamp I used vertical on the other domino I made. This one fits great on the smaller domino horizontally. You can actually see her wings better. I colored this one with Prismacolor pencils. I wired the domino so that the pendan has a vintage look also.

Domino Pendants - Prismacolor Pencils & Markers- Girl

I used Prismacolor Pencils in shading this image. I added just a little light color on her hair and dress. I colored her lips with a Prismacolor Marker and added some rhinestones to the flowers in her hair.

It's been fun trying out all of the different mediums for coloring these domino's. The markers help brighten the images and the pencils give a light color and shading to the domino.

Domino Pendants - Alcohol Inks - Small Queen

This is another small domino that I used the larger domino rubber stamp on. It actually fit perfectly on the small on also. The images look better as a partial image than a whole image, I think.

Domino Pendants - Alcohol Inks - Swirl

This is another small domino that I stamped with a partial image from a stamp I had laying around. Not sure what I got it. I used Tim Holtz Alcohol Inks and stamped the image with StazOn black ink. I added some rhinestones and wired it length ways to see how it would look.

I like the vintage look of this pendant after is was wrapped.

Domino Pendants - Prismacolor Markers - Girl

I used a small domino ( 1 1/2 x 3/4 inch) for this pendant and stamped it with the center of the butterfly stamp from The Enchanted Gallery. I colored it with Prismacolor Markers then used a black marker to fill in the top and bottom of the domino. I added a small pearl in the center of the flower.

The smaller domino's are very light. This one actually turn out very good. I thought I would have a had a hard time fitting an image on it but this turned out nicely.

Domino Pendants - Alcohol Inks - Diva

I used Tim Holtz Alcohol Inks as my background and then used a stamped with Die Cut Diva stamp using StazOn black ink. I put a cute little rhinestone star on her forehead and used a Bali Silver Heart Charm for more pizazz. I really like this stamp. The Lost Coast Designs has great Diva stamps. I love them all but they won't fit on a domino. So I masked off the bottom of the stamp from her skirt down and stamped the domino. I then masked off the top from the skirt up and stamped the domino. Ha! She looks a little squatty. Is squatty a word? The close up shows more of her skirt bottom. It really looks like it could be just the background.

Domino Pendants - Alcohol Inks - Queen

I used Tim Holtz Alcohol Inks for the background and a stamp from The Enchanted Gallery. These stamps are made to fit on a domino, which is approx 1" x 2". They come in sheets so you have a variety of stamps to choose from. She also has great tutorials on using different mediums for coloring your stamped domino.

I accented her necklace with a 14K gold marker. Doesn't show well in the photograph though.

Domino Pendants - Alcohol Inks - Not Stamped

I am trying to post all of my Domino Pendants on here before the end of next week. I'm not the greatest photographer and that's part of why I haven't blogged before now.

I used Tim Holtz Alcohol Inks again on this Pendant only I didn't use any stamps.

Actually the flower started out as a mistake. I had a smudge that looked like a pedal so I just corrected it with more pedals.

I used a paint brush with a small amount of 24k gold marker ink to make the stem and then added a pearl to the center. I then glued a vermeil daisy at the bottom.

I know the picture isn't that good. Sorry

Domino Pendants - Using Alcohol Inks-Butterfly

I used Tim Holtz Alcohol Inks for the background and then stamped the image with StazOn black ink. I think this is a simple design and makes a great Pendant! I used Krylon spray to preserve the image.

I love working with these inks. They blend together so well.

I bought the Butterfly stamp at Michaels for 50% off. It's an Inkadinkado stamp. I do use Michaels only when I need something fast. I always keep some 40% coupons on hand just in case I do need something in a hurry.

Domino Pendants - Coloring with Chalk

I stamped this domino pendant with StazOn Black Ink. I then took the domino , stamp side up, and place onto Ranger Acid Free Medium which acts like a glue and keeps the chalk on the domino when applied. I used a Q-Tip to apply the chalk. I think that the colors are perfect. I do notice when using chalk the colors are more muted. I then sprayed the domino with Krylon to preserve the colors.
