Here’s a look at some new additions to my Etsy shop. I decided to try out making some glass tile pendants with photos that I’ve taken of flowers, etc. As you can see, I also made a pendant with one of my watercolors of my Lilly the Ladybug storybook character.
While making these pendants, I thought it would be nice to offer a reversible option to wearing the pendant. On the back of the glass tile & photo, I applied a layer of Apoxie Sculpt with a glittery coat embedded to the surface of Apoxie Sculpt. The glitter is adhered to the Apoxie surface so it won’t flake off. However, to be certain, there won’t be any loose glitter, I coated the surface with a protective glaze.
So how do you like the idea of a reversible glass tile pendant? And also, do you have a favorite from the pendants pictured?
Glass tile pendant kit
Last year I did a blog post about when I made my first glass tile pendant from a starter kit that I bought at Etsy. It gives a little bit of an inside look about making the pendants. If you’re interested, click the thumbnail image above.
An artist who aspires to become a children's book illustrator. Stays young at heart and an avid daydreamer. When the weather permits, I enjoy visiting/biking on the nature trail near my house. Visiting the trail has brought me many hours of enjoyment and relaxation. My camera is usually by my side while on the trail. I like to try to find the small and unnoticeable as subjects for my photos. And of course flowers and plant life encompass many of my subjects.
They're very pretty! My favourite is the purple one on the bottom left, are they hydrangeas?
Thank you! Yes, those are hydrangeas in the photo.
