I've been promising it for ages so here it is .
This is what we'll be making
This simple little pendant can then be used as the base for a necklace,glue a pin back to it and you have a lovely brooch.. make it from a really small cameo finding and you have a ball joint doll necklace !
here's what you need
Resin - I use cast n craft but if you don't want to buy alot of resin and just want to make a few pieces you can run to the hard ware store and pick up adhesive resin in that syringe thingie. Get the 30 minute !
glue {elmers} I couldn't find my glue so for this I'm using acrylic medium
pearl pigment powders or mineral eyeshadow,shaved chalk ...
disposable cups
stir stick
toothpick
cameo findings you can find these at some the links I poster earlier they look like this
gears
paintbrush
pliers
Step one . gears usually have these sharp little pokey bits . these are rather painfull so we need to remove them .
Simply take you'r pliers and pull em off. Sometimes this can break the gear but for the most part they'll just fall off leaving your gears looking like this .
Take your glue and squirt a small amount into a plastic cup. Add a little pigment powder and mix well.
Use your paintbrush and paint the inside of the cameo piece. add gears and let fully dry.
Once the piece is completely dry you'll mix your resin following the instructions on the box . I don't have pics of this part but I will do my best to explain it.
Once your resin is fully mixed use the toothpick to carefully fill the recessed part of the cameo finding Watch it carefully for bubbles should any farm just pop them with a toothpick . Once it's all cured your good to go !
The new year is already knocking at the door, let it will bring only happiness and joy.

I find it extremely rude and irritating to be reading comments and find some fool has posted an advertisement for some illegal online sixual drug! Anyone know how to keep them from doing that? I am new to online things, but after enjoying the comments, it was like a slap in the face. And if the person or persons that do this realized that they are actually turning folks away from their products by such insensitive nonsense, maybe they would smart up!

Hi Sarah,
I just wanted to let you know that I featured your tutorial on my site, www.AllFreeBeadedJewelry.com. I linked to this project:
http://www.allfreebeadedjewelry.com/Jewelry-Techniques/Quick-Steampunk-Pendant
I would like to know if I can link like this to you, including a photo, in the future. Or if you would be willing to allow me to post projects in full on the site - full credit will always be given to you, of course. Your projects have the opportunity to be featured in our newsletter as well. It would be yet another source of traffic to your blog.
Once I have two projects on the site I can start a designer profile for you with links back to your blog, store, facebook, etc. Here is an example of one: http://www.allfreebeadedjewelry.com/Jewelry-Designers/Pearl-Blay-Jewelry-Designer
Please let me know, I would love to work with you further.
Thanks!

Hi! I love your tutorial on a Steampunk locket / pendant. Thank you for making it simple for a first time project. Don't you also have a tutorial on fairy wings? I think I bookmarked that a LONG time ago...! You are awesome, and now I have to figure out how to follow your blog! :D
