Mother O' Mine

This was meant to be a mother's day gift, but I kinda messed it up; but she got something a whole lot better anyway! Good concept, execution needs work.

I wanted to insert the dried flower from my garden into the glass on one side and use the wavy foil around the edges on the other. The piece turned out great when I was done, all I had to do was clean off the flux residue. I used the flux remover & I ran it under the water to rinse the cleaner off ........the water went under a piece of foil and onto the photo under the glass and made the ink run. @#%!&#@! I'm glad no one was around, I was not a happy camper!

Anyway, I will remake this project, but have to remember to burnish my foil real good or wipe instead of rinse to remove the flux cleaner next time!

Hugs

This is a paper image in between two 1" x 1" pieces of glass and then soldered together using a solder iron. I have a million ideas of projects to create with these. I just have to get busy and make more!!!

Special thanks to Elle for modeling the necklace, she is such a DIVA!

Broken Heart

This is a piece of broken china, ground into the shape of a heart and then covered with the silver clay.

I Saw Stars

This piece is made using nothing but syringe clay around a piece of Dichroic glass. Again I added Swarovski crystals! I really like this piece.

Victoria

This is a pendant with a CZ and a glass pearl. I used Liver of Sulphur to get the fabulous colors and polished the silver behind the pearl to bring back a little of the natural silver color.

Here is the back & the first project where I started adding hearts to my projects.
