Unusual Pins

One thing I don't make very often is pins.  I don't wear them myself, so I don't always think about them.  However, I was playing around with some new cutters, and made a couple of pieces that had to be pins.  Here they are, using textured and/or stone-imitation techniques.  They don't really seem to have a particular defined direction, so they may be pinned in a variety of ways.

Turquoise & Lavender

As is probably apparent from many of my entries, I am really fond of teals, aqua and all shades of purples. Here are a few recent pieces reflecting those hues.

Seashell on the Beach

Well, not really...but doesn't this look almost like a photo of a seashell on drifting sands?

The background is cut from a sheet made of gold and brown shades and using the labradorite technique. The shell is a stamp made with copper pearl-X powders.  I really love the effect.


The use of Magic Gloss over the whole pendant added a real depth and shine that doesn't show here.  When I could get the shine to show, then the image was hard to see.

New Triangle Pendants

I have recently purchased some of the new plastic polymer cutters made on 3-D computerized printers.  I really like the unusual shapes, and have been having fun with some triangular shapes in graduated sizes.  These pendants were made using the new triangular cutters and sheets of polymer made from the labradorite technique.

The pendant to the left was made from a very colorful combination of custom-mixed clay colors.






These gold-toned triangle pendants are a combination of textured gold metallic clay and a sheet of labradorite in gold, copper and bronze.





This last photo shows triangular pendants made from a primarily purple and turquoise polymer sheet.
