Glass Tiles and Magazines

Hello! Today I would like to show you how

I made jewellery necklaces from glass tiles and wedding magazines.

 

Colorful Wedding Magazines made excellent images

especially when the glass makes the images bigger.

 

 I had three small flowers I layered leaving some tile exposed for a background.

I glued them on the back of the tile with 3D Crystal Lacquer.

 

 I used Terri Sproul Mixers to color the remaining exposed tile.

 I sprinkled the powder into the crystal lacquer.

After it was dry I trimmed the edges to match the square glass tile.

I glued on a finding to the back of the tile with

Crystal Lacquer and added a green hand dyed seam binding. And that's it!

 

Next I wanted a more neutral organic necklace. I chose a bird cage and wanted the birds in the background. I traced the round glass tile on my image and cut it out as well as the birds.

 

 I cut out both images round initially but when I layered them

 I fussy cut the cage to view the birds in the background.

 

 

 

 

I glued the images to the glass tile with Crystal Lacquer as well as the finding.

 

I strung the glass tile  with some hand dyed seam binding.
