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.
