Patina and Vertigris

I am taking an online class called Patina and Vertigris and so far it has been an "experience".  Stepping out of my comfort zone.....  The bottom picture is where i started and hated so much brassy gold so I tamed it down and then things just began happening.  I am also working on a larger canvas than I normally do so that in itself has created a bit of fear.....  I am enjoying the process and I have no idea where I will end up......  Tonight I added a layer of modeling paste on the left hand side and bottom of the top canvas and applied a Hieroglyphic stamp to see how it would imprint.  Something else that is new for me.  Tomorrow when it is dry I am going to paint it and then add a patina to it.  I think I am going to do bronze and the teal color and then go over the top with some black......  I have a 2nd canvas that is waiting for me done in silver, teal and black and it will need some enhancing also ..........

3/2018 Handmade by Me Convertible Necklaces

I am getting ready to  list these 2 necklaces on Etsy.  They are convertible because there are claps on the beaded portion that can be adapted to a chain or to a knotted cord type chain.  Get several different looks.

The gemstone to the left is a Chinese Painted Jasper and the one on the right is an Agate Druzy.  There is an open area on the downside top that is beautiful white crystal. (Druzy)

I have used Lava beads, Czech beads, Swarowski  crystals,  and handmade lamp work beads.

Jewelry making is so relaxing and enjoyable.

3/2018 POUR "FLAMES AGO"

This has to be one of my favorite pours as far as colors go......they are vibrant.  Used a black painted canvas, swiped a bit here and there with black, and am glad I mixed too much paint so that I got more than one painting.   Red, yellow, orange and believe it or not a sage green, with a squirt or two of white.   The top biggest one kinda looks like a lobster or crab claw......with a small fish underneath.
