Heavy Metal Ain't All Rock 'N Roll

Who knew that something old and discarded from the garage could be transformed into fashion jewelry. I certainly didn't - but Shelly Katzung a/k/a Sugrnspicy on Splitcoaststampers.com did. I saw her creation in the SCS gallery and knew this would be a fun project for the Try a New Technique Challenge.

I created two different types with my washers. The one on the left was created with alcohol ink and the other using patterned paper. Crystal Lacquer gives the finished product a great luster and is a wonderful way to set stones or other kitschy fun stuff to your design. I was in a hurry with limited creative time this weekend to get these completed for today's post, but I wish I had found some large beads to slip onto the cording to dress them up a bit, or brought out my soldering iron and got busy.

I can tell that your creative imagination is beginning to churn up fantastic ideas, so I hope you will take a moment to join us with the TLC. CLICK HERE to be directed to the forum thread.
