Altered Glass Tile Pendant Necklace - Grungy Lace

This grungy lace pendant is made from an altered glass tile from the home improvement store. The tile has been altered with acrylic paint and a scrap of lace. The tile was painted off white and the scrap of lace was painted grey/gray. I attached the lace to the pendant with Glossy Accents. Once the GA was dry, I drybrushed the red accents onto the tile. The tile was then sealed with water based varnish.

The tile measures 1 7/8 x 1/2 inches and has a well weathered silver colored metal nut attached as a bail. I used Ranger Glossy Accents for my glue. I attached the nut and let it dry overnight. Then I used the GA all around the base of the nut again to really reinforce the bond.

The pendant is strung on 20 inches of chain with a barrel clasp. To use up some of my smaller pieces of chain, I joined the pieces with an enameled square. The pendant has a tattered and rustic vibe to it. I hope you will make one for yourself.

Altered Glass Tile Pendant - Foliage

This unique pendant is made from an altered glass tile from the home improvement store. The pendant is embellished with a raised foliage pattern. The funky fern is die cut from fun foam. Really...who knew? I painted the front and back of the tile with orange acrylic paint. I painted the fern brown and attached it to the tile with Glossy Accents. I then did some color washes and dry brushing to achieve the distressed and weathered final look. The piece is sealed with water based varnish.

The tile measures 1 7/8 x 1/2 inches. A rusty silver colored metal nut rescued from my husband's hardware discards is attached as a bail. I used Glossy Accents to glue the nut on and let it dry overnight. Then I used the Glossy Accents all around the base of the nut again to really reinforce the bond.

The pendant is tied on a 24" steel colored ball chain with a scrap of off white leather. The necklace has an organic earthy vibe.

Steampunk Pendant

I created this steampunk necklace for my daughter Ashley. She looks so pretty wearing it. The pendant is made from an altered glass tile from the home improvement store. First, I glued on a piece of Tyvek using Glossy Accents. I then dabbed on colors with Adirondack Dabbers. Once everything was dry, I stamped on the steampunk design with StazOn permanent black ink. The stamp is from Inkadinkado. To set all the colors, I applied more glossy accents. The bail is an old and weathered metal nut I found in the garage. I added some steampunk gears to finish the necklace.

I am entering this necklace in the following challenges:

Rhedd & Rosie - #15 steampunk
Simon Says Monday - no stamping on plain paper
Simon Says Wednesday - things found in the store ( Dabbers, Glossy Accents, StazOn)

Altered Glass Tile Pendant Necklace - Hand Dyed Steampunk

 

This ink dyed pendant is made from an altered glass tile from the home improvement store. The tile was dyed with Ranger alcohol inks in various colors. I used my finger to spread on a base color and then I dripped the other colors on top and let them spread and mix until I got this colorful pattern.  I added two steampunk gears and cogs to give it a steampunk vibe. The tile measures 1 7/8 x 1/2 inches and has a silver colored metal nut attached as a bail. I used glossy accents as my glue. The pendant is strung on a 24" steel colored ball chain.

Sunshine Plant Stick

I altered a round playing card to create this plant stick. I used a new technique to color the background of the card. I used red, orange and yellow alcohol inks on my craft surface and spritzed with some water and then dragged and swirled my card around until I came up with a color combo I liked. It was a little too tame for me so I added some additional drops of yellow while the card was still wet. When the inks dried, I dry brushed with white paint in the center of the card so that my sun face would show up better. My stamp is from Embossing Arts.  I like how it turned out!

I am entering this plant stick in the following challenges:
