I do well for a while and post lots of stuff then I let it laps. Sorry about that. I fell into jewelry making and I fell hard. Totally obsessed with it actually. I have used my photos and been making pendants. They are turning out pretty nice if I do say so myself. I will have to get a few posted on here. Might be setting up a store on Etsy (will keep you posted on that).Â
There is something new I would like to post for your viewing pleasure…
This my crow drawing done as an image transfer on Plexi glass. I didn’t think this was going to turn out because when I first started taking the paper off, the paint was coming off the plexi. I left it alone for a week or so then went back to it, took my time, and was able to get it to turn out. Hooray for that and I will try to post some of my jewelry on here later.

This is how the 3 panels turned out for my cousin. Sorry for the low quality photo, I took it really quick then went to drop them off, but you get the point. =o)
This is how the butterflies turned out. I’m having a great time with these caulk image transfers! Think I’m going to start using my photos next. Need to buy some more boards first though.
More fun stuff to come!
This shall be my next image transfer after I finish my cousins paintings. I laid this out in Photoshop using a modified butterfly font (putting those Graphic Design classes to good use). Man I love making cool stuff with butterflies! =o)
I posted this and looked at it again and I think I need to change the angle of that butterfly the second from the top, then it will be ready for an image transfer.
The base for my cousins paintings. This is (3) 18″x24″ panels. I’m rather happy with it. Can’t wait for it to dry so I can do some image transfers!
Was this! I rather like it. It may be hanging in my house soon.
What’s under all that?! This is an image transfer using caulk. Won’t be ready for 24 hours. Sucks that these take so long but they turn out pretty darn nice. I have to leave my studio for a bit right after I do this step because I try to pull up the edges before it’s ready (because I get excited to see how it’s doing) and end up screwing it up.
Will post the finished product later.
My first attempt at doing an image transfer using caulk. Used way too much caulk and got this weird line around the image. But on the up side, the image turned out perfect! Very happy with that part of it. Going to do some more testing on another panel. No more smelly Xylol for me (maybe this will save a few of my precious brain cells).
