Making junky jewelry is pretty darn zen-ful
Today I took a breather from workshop prep and made some quick and dirty jewelry. I'm lovin' making jewelry out of 'junk'!
I created quite the assembly line - I made a bunch of pendants then earrings. My materials included wood tags, metal washers, scrap paper, mod podge and wood varnish.
I even tried using linoleum samples... Why not!
I also added rice paper to some of the pendants. I love the rice paper I grabbed at Urban Source - it has speckles of gold and silver.
After the scrap paper then rice paper I added three coats of wood varnish.
I made four sets of metal washer earrings.
I'm giving this set away to a friend. It's a surprise.
I used leather for the necklace and made it resizable.
I made a couple of pendants with this paper as well.
Here are the wood tag pendants.
And the earrings...
Next I want to come up with an idea for these pieces of wood from a thrift store bracelet.
Tomorrow I'm making plans for my two upcoming workshops... What we're actually doing which will then dictate what I need. And then I can make my samples. Yay for being crafty! Life is pretty darn fabulous these days!
