Watercolor paper pendants

I've been playing around

making watercolor paper pendants.

I made one a few weeks ago,

 that you can see here.

I wanted to make some more,

but  had trouble with all of them.

The polycrylic kept bubbling up

when I put them in the toaster oven to cure.

I don't know if I put the polycrylic on too thick or what.

I don't mind some imperfections,

so I will wear these.

Here is a photo of five of the better pendants.

(I made 4 more but they turned out really bad.)

These are made from only 2 layers of watercolor paper,

instead of 6.

(Maybe that made a difference in how they turned out.)

I added some Japanese cut paper, that a friend gave me, to each one.

For some I added small round acrylic gem(s).

This is a close up of the largest one,

about 2 in. by 3 in.

Smaller ones are below...

I hope all of you have a wonderful

Thanksgiving!

Savor the Day!

Watercolor paper pendant for FALL

Hello everyone!

I hope you are all well and enjoying FALL.

I love this time of year!

We still have some hot days now and then,

but I sure enjoy those cooler ones when they come.

It's been awhile since I have posted.

I've been dealing with a frozen shoulder,

and blogging was the last thing on my mind.

On the mend and feeling better now.

Haven't done much in the way of art,

but did do a unique project recently.

I found Ross Barbera on You Tube.

He is a realistic painter,

but also creates beautiful jewelry.

It is watercolor paper jewelry.

Here is my pendant I just finished.

I love dragonflies,

so when I ran across the tiny bronze one,

I thought it made a nice touch to the pendant.

Well, keeping this post short...

hope to be posting more soon.

Let me hear from you.

I've missed you all!

Savor the Day!
