Chipped Tile

Chipped Tile

 

What my desire was when I started creating this piece, was to use up my Terri Sproul Mixers chips. Now these chips were made over many months, but could be made in an hour. They are the leftovers of Mixers and 3D Crystal Lacquer that were stuck on my work mat at the end of every project. I peeled them off and saved them, hoping for an idea to come together to use them. Thus the following project was the perfect time to use some of these chips up. At the start of this project I had no idea what direction I would go in. I let this piece create itself. I know that sounds weird. But my only starting point was the tile and the chips. I just let the creativity flow after that. I hope you like it.

 

 

I took a domino tile and started layering on the paint chips. Now I'm really glad I did it this way, because if I had just painted on the colors, I would have had to wait for each color to dry or I would have had some blended colors. Blah, I didn't want that!

I used the 3D Crystal Lacquer to adhere the chips to the tile.

 

When I had the chips where I wanted them and everything was dry, I started putting on my rub-ons. I did try to use rubber stamps and Stazon ink, but I found the rub-ons were much easier to use. And had a crisper image.

 I used the 3D Crystal Lacquer to attach the necklace bail.

 

I'm very happy with the result of this pendant. It holds a lot of meaning to me and will ever be a reminder of the life I've led for 18 yrs. I do want to sand some edges and smooth this out a bit more. I will add a couple more layers of the 3D Crystal Lacquer to finish it completely.

Glass tiles and tissue paper

Good day all,  Brenda here and let me first apologize for not being here on time. I've had a busy July and just got caught up with a lot of stuff.  We went on a 12 day vacation and just got back last week.  Of course I then realized I had forgotten to post my projects for Sakura.  So, with that said let's get onto my project and I hope you forgive my lateness.

Sakura has these awesome glass tiles and bails and I couldn't wait to get crafting with them.  I wasn't sure what to do exactly and I knew I wanted something that popped.  My favorite color is purple so of course I would be going in that direction.  As always, I love to experiment so this is what I came up with.  I took some ordinary tissue paper and the Interference Lilac Pearl mixer with the 3D Crystal lacquer and painted a section of the tissue paper with it and while it was still wet, plopped the glass tile right on top of it.  I didn't paint perfectly to give it some dimension.  The tissue paper wrinkled a little bit also, but that's the "cool" affect.

Once that dried I flipped the tile over and added the bail also with the 3D Crystal Lacquer and painted over the entire back of the tile again to really seal it.  It's now even waterproof. 

Just added it to a couple of strands of ribbon and now I have the perfect pendant. 

What's also cool about this pendant is, depending on the light you see a lot of different color in it. 

So I hope you go and try using some tissue paper and mixers and see what you can come up with when you purchase some of these wonderful tiles and bails.  There is even a coupon right now.

Faux Solder with Terri Sproul's Mixers

For this project you will need:

a silver plated bail

a brush and a photo 1"×2"

I began my project with printing a photo that I had cropped to a 1"×2" size. I attached the photo to the High Quality Glass Tiles with Sakura Hobby Crafts 3D Crystal Lacquer. To create the look of Faux Solder, I use the silver Mixer with the clear crystal lacquer. I painted on the mixed silver thickly covering the sides. I continued a little onto the top curve of the glass piece and to the back. I painted a thin layer of the silver mixer over the silver plated bail so that is matched the "solder." I attached the pendant to a silver chain--now I have a fun and easy pendant to commemorate the end of my daughter's kindergarten year! I hope you enjoyed my project! Thank you for looking!

Posies & Paper Dolls with Terri Sproul's Mixers and Sakura 3D Lacquer

Recently I created a necklace for a challenge using Graphic 45 papers and Sakura Hobby Crafts 3D Crystal Lacquer. My daughter really wanted it for herself...I however thought this smaller version with Terri Sproul's Mixers would be more her style. I hope you enjoy it!

paint over printed papers with coordinating colors. here I used Shimmer Red
for the petals, Citrine for the center, Citrine mixed with Tanzanite Pearl for the petals
and Shimmer Pearl for that added glitter on the background.

For the piece of paper dolls, I used the same Citrine/Tanzinite Pearl combination.
The Tanzinite Pearl by itself for the blue dress and the Tanzinite Pearl mixed with
the Enhancer for the deeper blue of the "P." The background was again treated
with Shimmer Pearl. 

Once dry, the glass tiles were attached with Sakura Crystal Lacquer. Once
dry, trim around the glass pieces. 

I attached the heart style silver bails with Sakura Crystal Lacquer as well.

Once dry, I attached both pieces to a Silver Plated Bail Chain.
I think Samantha will LOVE it! The glittery shimmer of the Mixers is truly her.

 Thank you for looking! I hope you enjoyed my project! ~leslierahye

Heart Necklace

Sakura Hobby Crafts has some really fun products to make unique accessories! For this sweet heart necklace, I started with the Glass Tiles and glued some patterned paper to the back using the Crystal Lacquer. While that was drying, I stamped and embossed a heart on some chipboard. I filled in the recessed areas of the embossing with the Cerise colored Crystal Lacquer. After that was dry, I coated it with the clear lacquer, and sprinkled some fine glitter around the edges. This was then glued to the front side of the pendant. One of the very small glass tiles was added to the front corner, after I embossed a small red heart on the backside of it. The bail was attached with the lacquer, the chain was added - and I had a quick gift ready to go!

Lacquer Coated beaded bracelet!

Good morning!! We have less than 2 weeks left for Christmas shopping and gift making! I am in full swing on my creating and will share with you this fun bracelet that I've made for one of my loved ones!

For this project you will need:
paper
BIC Mark-its
Washi Paper
Tiger Tail Cording
findings
Sakura Hobby Crafts 3D Crystal Lacquer
Glass Tile
Gold Tone Star Bails

For this project I affixed a glass tile to washi paper with 3D Crystal Lacquer.
After it dried, I trimmed out the glass tile and sanded the edges for a smooth finish.

 I adhered the bails to the short sides of the rectangle to form a focus piece of a bracelet.

Next I created paper beads to match. I measured and marked my paper
at half-inch increments on one side and then shifted my ruler
a quarter inch so that the points would form a triangle when connected. 

I cut the triangles with my paper cutter. 

Following tips from a paper bead artist, I .used my BIC Mark-Its to edge the paper. 

I then rolled the beads around a skewer, securing with 3D Crystal Lacquer.

I then coated the bead with the lacquer as well. 

I allowed the beads to dry completely 

and then strung them with accent gold-toned beads to form a bracelet. 

Thank you for looking! I hope you enjoy my project!
