Go Team!

  Happy Friday everyone! On the Globecraft & Piccolo Blog this week I shared a SUPER easy jewelry project to show your team spirit.This project is created with washers available from your local automotive or hardware stores and 3D Enamel Gel!
I have been absorbed in baseball this spring and summer and so naturally creating a ball-themed necklace to wear on game days was necessary! I used a small washer and layered Titanium White 3D Enamel Gel to make "baseballs". These could have been yellow for softballs, orange for basketballs, white for volleyballs...you get the idea! It took 2 layers to get a nice bubble on the enamel. I let each layer of enamel dry over night. Once dry I wrote with a BIC Mark-it to make the washer look like a baseball. A layer of Glastique over the doodles will help protect the pendant.

The baseball washer could be added to a ribbon. or added to larger washers to make a statement piece. Black ink or enamel can be rubbed into stamped letters to help them stand out. Again, a final coat of Glastique can protect the surface of the pendant.

3D Enamel Gel TITANIUM WHITE
3D Enamel Gel MARS BLACK
Glastique GLOSS Finishing Glaze 2 oz.

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

Be the Change ATC

Happy Friday everyone! Altered Pages has a number of metal sheets that are perfect to use with your emboss folders and markers to create stunning effects and embellishment. With your alcohol markers you can customize all of your charms and embossed bits to match any project. Alcohol inks/markers are not just Copics and Ranger inks but also Spectrum Noir, BIC Mark-its and Sharpies! Use 91% Isopropyl Alcohol for your "blending solution" to get cool dropped effects and blends. 

I would recommend coloring your metal black before running it through and then add other colors back on. and flick on alcohol with a tooth brush or paint brush! Metal bits are easily adhered to any surface with your favorite heavy body glue.
