Vintage Glove Pendant Necklace

This vintage and steampunk inspired pendant is made from an altered glass tile from the home improvement store. The tile was painted with red, pink and orange acrylic paints. The antique key image is rubber stamped onto the pendant with permanent ink. I sealed the piece with water based varnish. I attached a plastic vintage glove with glossy accents as my glue.

The tile measures 1 7/8 x 1/2 inches. A black painted metal nut is attached as a bail. I used glossy accents as my glue. First attaching the nut and letting the glue dry overnight. The next day I added more glossy accents around the base of the nut to reinforce the hold.  A tattered scrap of  black tulle is tied around the bail.

The pendant is strung on a 24" steel colored ball chain. I like this type of chain because it can be cut with scissors if you want to shorten it.

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.

♥ Wendy

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

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:
