Hello! Tanya here today to share a special jewelry project
I created using Amazing Crafting Products.
I am a born and raised Louisianian.
When I was a child my father was the first assistant of the governor and I have many souvenirs from that time: one of my father's boots emblazed with a Louisiana State seal; state seal cuff links; key to the cities; photos; invitations, etc... My father died when I was only 8 so these things are very special to me. When it comes to crafting I have been made aware that many of my crafts revolve around state and city pride.
You always hear of making molds from grandmother's buttons, well here is something I made from Dad's cuff links!
I made a mold using Amazing Mold Putty of my dad's state seal cuff link, cast it and made a piece of jewelry. I also decided to cast a bronze pin of our Old State Capitol, where I worked as a museum curator many moons ago. How cool is it that I worked in the Old State Capitol and my dad worked in the new State Capitol? I also found a key to the city of Mandeville to cast. CLICK HERE to see how to mix and prepare a mold with Amazing Mold Putty.
While mixing my Amazing Casting Resin, I mixed in a little pink Jacquard Pearl Ex powder pigment. I also brushed some into the mold. CLICK HERE to see how to mix Amazing Casting Resin.
The effect was not as powerful as I hoped (since it was so light) so I skipped it and stuck to just mixing the Pearl Ex into the resin.
I have been on a pink kick lately,
so I cast everything in pink!
I too often over-pour my mold - so I dripped the resin into mold
using a craft stick to make sure not to this time.
With Pearl Ex brushed in mold.
With the help of some silver Rub 'n Buff, a modified bracelet blank and E-6000®, my Louisiana Pride bracelet is complete.
What family keepsake would you mold
to transform into a unique piece of jewelry?
