Day 27: Skulls

Day 27: Skulls

Back to more designs befitting the time before October 31st: skully art!

 

Day 26: Stars

Day 26: Stars

More designs I'm trying out.

Hah, the first pic posted isn't even a star. ;)  Ah, I know why. I was trying some knotwork pendants at the same time..but the knots kept getting destroyed.

Day 25: Zombie

Day 25: Zombie

I've tested out other zombie designs in the past, but this was the first time using the foil overlay. The design itself work on the larger 1.5 x 2 pendant, but the coloring is off. I wanted the red and green to have some overlap, but ended up with a bit too much. Now it's a little too muddy for the black background.

Day 24: Sexy Devil Lady

Day 24: Sexy Devil Lady

You see the sexy trucker girl all over the place. Well in my family, it's sexy devils! I was trying various silhouettes for devil men and women. I really liked this design initially, but not sure if I like it now. There's something a bit off, but I can't quite place it. The majority of the designs have to be on the larger 1.5 x 2 pendants to fit the detail (like the tiny heart tail). I'm going to keep playing around and see what works.

Day 23: Mini-Chalkboards

Day 23: Mini-Chalkboards

Even since I saw the chalkboard paint at the store, I've been wanting to try it out. I was finally able to pick some up and play around. I'm pretty pleased with the results. 

I think I might add some more layers of paint to the next batch, but they seem to holding up rather well as is. Now I just to figure out a way to attach a piece of chalk to the pendant itself!

Day 22: Claddagh

Day 22: Claddagh

I had some friends get married recently. I know a lot of married couples but surprisingly, they're the only couple I know that's gotten married since meeting. (Does that make sense?)  Anyway, I wanted to make them a wedding gift and thought the claddagh was fitting. They said that their house is decorated in reds and blacks, so I chose my glass accordingly.

I haven't had a chance to give/show it to the couple yet, so I hope they like it!

Day 21: Misfits

Day 21: Misfits

Met up with some fellow Misfits fans over the weekend and even spent some time joined in song. Gotta love those who know the lyrics to Braineaters, Halloween, and Astro-Zombies!

The details on the face of this crimson ghost look-a-like are foil overlays colored black.

I think I'll end up making some Misfits skull pendants in the near future.
