Stencilled Fiber Art Necklace Pendants with Rebecca Baer™

5/14/2015 12:00:00 PM  , , , , , ,  No comments


Good Morning! Today I've created little fiber art necklaces and pin using Rebecca Baer­® stencils! I love handmade jewelry and am fascinated by the textures and mixed media feel of these little denim pendants. This is super easy and with one 6" square of fabric you could make a dozen or so pendants for sharing with your friends and family! I hope you enjoy my tutorial below!

Begin with a piece of fabric. I am using upcycled denim. I chose this beautiful Secret Garden stencil in the small for the above pendant. I also chose the lovely Enchanted Vine Stencil in small for a second project that I'm sharing below using the same technique.

I applied Embossing Powder Adhesive to my fabric through the stencil so that it looks like it was stenciled with a darker shade of blue. Then I applied Embossing Powder and heat set it to melt the powder onto the jeans. 


I have not tested this for something that would need to be washed so I don't know if it would stand up to the wear and tear of that process. The results of the embossing powder on the denim is awesome though!


Above you see the result of a turquoise colored emboss powder on the denim...striking. However I wanted something with a bit more depth for the pendent today. For today's pendant, I decided to add one more element--I misted an opaque color mist first onto the denim.


Next I turned my stencil and proceeded with the embossing powder adhesive and the emboss powder...you can see the effect in the details of the pendant below.


I finished my pendant by fashioning a little hanger with some black annealed wire. I cut a strip of my stenciled fabric and attached it to the hanger with sewing. I then added a selection of charms to the front. Then I raveled the bottom of the pendant by cutting strips and removing the shorter fibers that remained. 


This little friendship pendant was completed in a similar manner...I cut little strips and attached it to the safety pin. I then attached a little bitty pin with beads to the front. 

All supplies mentioned are available at the link below! Thank you for stopping by! Be sure to check out posts from my teammates each Tuesday and Thursday!

A Key Pendant

10/06/2014 09:00:00 AM  ,  4 comments

if you are looking for my 31 Days of Halloween Day 6 post it is here.

  Happy Monday everyone! Today on the Globecraft & Piccolo Blog I share a jewelry piece that I made using the new release from September of Key Accents...there are some nice BIG keys in this release and they are perfect for jewelry making projects. I used the biggest keys in the 6×6" matrix of keys. I embossed opposite sides and then glued the 2 pieces together. I went around the edges with a black pen. Once dry, I wrapped black wire with beads around the key making a few loops and adding a decorative loop to the bottom and a bail to the top. This made it easy to add to the silk cord necklace! A few matching beads and charms were added to the end loop to finish off the piece


I hope you enjoyed my project! Thank you for stopping by today!

Snowflake Pin

9/22/2014 09:00:00 AM  ,  No comments



  Happy Monday everyone! Today on the Globecraft and Piccolo blog I share a wintery pin. I used the labels and frames from the new release Fancy Labels & Roses Accents and embossed the label with Royal Sterling and the Frame of the Rose Accent with Bahama Aqua. I layered these together to form the base of my pin.
Next I embossed snowflakes in Siam Silver, Bahama Aqua and Royal Sterling and layered then onto the pin base. I added some bling on the frame and in a few of the snowflakes to complete the front of the pin. A pin back was added to the back so that it could be worn on a jacket, hat, scarf or sweater!

I hope you enjoyed my project! Thank you for stopping by today!

The Keys to my Steampunk Heart

8/04/2014 09:00:00 AM  , ,  1 comment

Happy Monday everyone! Today on the Globecraft and Piccolo Blog I share a steampunk jewelry project today! I love the Piccolo keys and the steampunk charm sets--it seemed only natural to create a pendant to reflect my love for steampunk!
I melted several layers of Vintage Black and when I had it nice and molten I pressed a grid stamp into the enamel.

Likewise I embossed some of the gears with Vintage Copper and added the same texture with the grid stamp.

Finally I embossed some gears with gilded rose gold and a few with Copper Kettle.

I layered the gears on the bezel and attached the bezel and some black chain to the satin cord with jumprings. The keys were embossed with Gilded Rose Gold and Vintage Copper. They were attached to the chain with jumprings. A beaded dangle was added to the chain as well!


  I hope you enjoyed my project! Thank you for stopping by today!

Alice's Wonder-Pendant

7/28/2014 09:00:00 AM  ,  2 comments


  Happy Monday everyone! Today on the Globecraft and Piccolo Blog I share another jewelry project today! This creation was made using royalty free Alice in Wonderland images and a variety of charms with the Piccolos, Gels and Glastique.
I printed my Alice image to fit the skinny rectangle bezel and adhered it to the background. I heat embossed my keys and steampunk airship accents with Victorian Bronze. I added emboss powders to the edges of the bezel as well. I used glastique to adhere the embossed chipboard to the bezel and then added a layer of glastique over the top of the Alice image.

The charms were colored with 3D Enamel Gels and an additional coat of glastique was added over the top.  Charms and bezel were joined with black jump rings and chains.

  I hope you enjoyed my project! Thank you for stopping by today!

Beaded Wedding Pendant

7/14/2014 12:00:00 AM  , , ,  1 comment



  Happy Monday everyone! Today on the Globecraft and Piccolo Blog I share another jewelry project today! I printed a vintage wedding image to fit the 1½×2½" Bezel and trimmed it out. I glued the image on to the bezel, trimming closely to the edges and sanding with a file. Once dry I added black ink around the edges of the bezel. Next I adhered a vintage bead mix to the edges, randomly picking the various sizes and styles of beads For an additional accent I placed three along side the couple. Once this is completely dry, I layered on Ultra Thick Clear emboss enamel [UTEE] adhering with Enamel Powder Adhesive. I added multiple layers until the clear molten liquid was up to the level of the shortest beads. I finished the piece by hanging it from a silver ball chain.

  I hope you enjoyed my project! Thank you for stopping by today!

Beautiful Butterfly Bauble

5/27/2014 11:00:00 PM  ,  No comments


  Happy Wednesday everyone! Today on the Globecraft and Piccolo Blog I share with you a a beautiful butterfly necklace. This large butterfly was transformed with targeted embossing. I embossed the edges of the butterfly first with the dark starry sky emboss enamel and then in the center with the GORGEOUS Deep Blue Sky enamel. I have a new favorite. This powder looks teal and then embosses to a gorgeous dark metallic blue...when it mixes with the Stary Sky you get that nifty flecked look. so pretty.
The charms from the butterfly earring set were simply embossed with the Deep Blue sky. The bodies on the butterflies were coated with Matte Finish Glastique. The butterflies were attached to the necklace with black jumprings through the accent holes.

A Penny for your Charms

4/09/2014 12:00:00 AM  , ,  No comments


 Happy Wednesday everyone! Today on the Globecraft and Piccolo Blog I share with you a fun pendant I created with an altered penny. I drilled holes into the penny to attach jump rings through. I heat embossed Girls Night Out Emboss Enamel on the penny and then coated with Matte Finish Glastique for a fabulous finish.


I embossed mini keys with my favorite Victorian Bronze. With a brush I added Deep Red enamel to a brass charm. I then dangled a wired beaded charm from the center bottom and the two Piccolo keys. From the top hole I dangle another small key charm and the enameled brass charm!

I hope you enjoyed my project! Thank you for stopping by today!

Kitty Loves a Birdie!

2/26/2014 11:06:00 AM  , ,  No comments


Happy Wednesday everyone! On the Globecraft and Piccolo Blog today I am  sharing with you this fun pin/pendant. With some strategic curls removed from the bottom corner swirl, this could also be used to hang my "readers" on! ha!

All pieces were enameled by smearing Enamel Powder Adhesive Fluid to the surface of the chipboard pieces and dusting with 1-2 coats of Enamel powder and then heat setting. The bird cage I used only one coat of powder...I like the antique feel the Victorian Bronze gives in one coat. The bezel was primarily Mermaid Tears and then a light sprinkle in one or two places with the Aged White created the lighter areas. 
The pieces were assembled with Glastique and then the corners, kitty, birds and cage were coated with Glastique to give them an extra gloss. An extra coat of Glastique on the kitty gives him a more 3 dimensional look. A note about the bezel...I left the loop at the top because I wanted this piece to be flexible in how it can be worn. I will be adding a pin-back to the back of it so I can wear it with a sweater or scarf, but I might want to wear it as a pendant on a necklace so I am keeping the loop for extra support for the necklace.



I hope you enjoyed my project! Thank you for stopping by today!

NEW RELEASE | A Lucky Pendant

2/18/2014 11:00:00 PM  , , , ,  2 comments


  Happy Wednesday everyone! Today on the Globecraft&Piccolo Blog I am sharing with you some of the FABULOUS new release Piccolos!!! I am so excited about my project today!! 
 I began by embossing St Patty's Day Accents by applying Enamel Powder Adhesive and dusting with Mossy Glen and Shamrock Dreams Emboss Enamel. The lighter color is the Shamrock Dreams color. Emboss the Vintage Corner Flourish with Victorian Bronze. The rectangle bezel is embossed with Aged White. I added multiple layers and laid 3size 8 beads into the melted enamel. Once cooled, I applied more enamel adhesive and Aged White powder to coat the beads. While the enamel is still hot, I sprinkled Victorian Bronze over the beads to repeat the color in the pendant.


Piccolos were adhered to the Bezel with Glastique and the edge of the Bezel was colored with an alcohol marker. Next I used Enamel Powder Adhesive to add Aged White powder to two metal washers. I heat set the washers and added more powder to build up a "donut" shape. Remember heated metal is H O T! be sure it is cooled completely before touching. The donuts were also edged in green alcohol ink. Burlap string was colored with the same alcohol ink to coordinate it to the pendant. The washers were tied on and a mini shamrock was adhered to the dangling washers with Glastique.

I used a piece of leather for the necklace, threading it through the eye of the bezel and the Victorian Corner Flourish 

I hope you enjoyed my project! Thank you for stopping by today!

A Vintage Time Piece

1/28/2014 11:00:00 PM  , ,  No comments



 Happy Wednesday everyone! Today on the Globecraft Piccolo Blog I share necklace project! Globecraft and Piccolo has so many wonderful bezels and charms to alter into wonderful jewelry! The Vintage Clock Necklace set is FANTASTIC! I LOVE how this turned out!!

I began by embossing the clock face and the "dangles" with the Victorian Bronze and the back of the clock with Micro Black. I embossed both sizes of the back of the clock a couple of times--using a tweezers to hold the chipboard while it cooled. Once the pieces were prepped [embossed several times] I adhered the clock face to the clock back with the glossy Glastique. I held my pieces into place with clothespins.
Once dry I filled the face of the timepiece with Instant UV Resin. While you can cure this product in the comforts of your home in the dark using a special UV heat lamp, I tested curing it outside with the sun--it's amazing how quickly this product hardens! It created a nice dome where a dome on the glass of a clock would be. for the remaining clock face, I filled in with a touch of gloss Glastique--leaving a ledge around the rest of the chipboard.

To assemble this piece I used some very small black link chain that would fit through my larger jump rings. I added a dangle to each end of the chain after threading it through it's rings. I like the look of triple jump rings with this piece and repeated it when adding the last piece and the neck chain.

I really love how this piece turned out and will definitely be playing with the UV resin again! Such a fun product!!!  Thank you for stopping by!!

Kept Under Lock & Key

1/21/2014 10:59:00 PM  , ,  No comments

 Happy Wednesday everyone! Globecraft and Piccolo has so many wonderful bezels and charms to alter into wonderful jewelry! I created this piece with the Fancy Square Bezel. It's large size allows for many design options. I created a textured background by building up several layers of Vintage Copper Enamel Powder and while it was still hot I stamped my rubber stamp into the melted enamel. Rubbing the Adhesive Fluid over the rubber before this process keeps the stamp from sticking to the enamel permanently.

Once cooled off I added small flourishes and tiny hearts and a vintage lock to the front to mimic an old lock face like on a trunk. These pieces were previously embossed with Copper Kettle Enamel Powder. They are adhered to the bezel with Glasstique--I hold the pieces into place with clothes pins until they dry. The accents are then coated with glossy Glasstique to add extra shine. Black India Ink was rubbed across the face of the bezel to deepen the color and add a vintage feel to the bezel. The Bezel was edged with a black marker and a layer of Glassitique was smeared across the back to seal the chipboard. Keys were embossed with Vintage Bronze Enamel Powder. Copper jump rings attach the keys to the bezel and a simple leather thong "chain" was constructed to go through the rings.
