FAUX GEMSTONE NECKLACE


My favorite toy is Suze Weinberg's Melting Pot. Ultra thick embossing powder (UTEE) is one of the best mediums in the world to make jewelry with. The best part is that it's lightweight as compared to genuine gemstones. The chip beads and coin beads on this necklace are genuine gemstones. The blue stones in the gold settings were made with UTEE. The gold settings are also UTEE. I had a square plastic button that I took apart and using Mold N Pour made two molds, one for the setting and one for the square stone.

SPRING NECKLACE


I wanted something floral for spring so I made this necklace using stained glass scraps and rub ons. I used the small stained glass pieces you get in those packages for making mosaics. The rub ons were sealed with Diamond Glaze.
