Stephanie Lee Project #1
When I first found this book over a year ago at my local library..something inside me changed. This how to book on Creating found-art Jewelry was amazing!!I immediately called my sister unable to contain my excitement and I knew I just had to order it at once!!
As always,
thank you so much for stopping by
by Stephanie Lee
Some time later,my sister Ingrid had surprised me with the most amazing gift ever..a class by Artbliss that featured the one..the only..Stephanie Lee.
It was an experience I will never forget.To read about this amazing adventure click here.
And so months later I find myself still learning..Every time I open her book,I find something new,a tip I may have missed..a project I may have overlooked..and well I thought to myself ..."self".."the only way I'm going to really learn everything she has to share is to try all of the projects in her book".
..and so I am..
starting with..
"Remembering Pendant" pg.115(also the pendant on the Cover)
1-stamp clay
2-add plaster to stamped clay
3-Once dry,gently peel off plaster
4-paint plaster and break into desired pieces
5-Create bezels using brass and solder.Then Patina with Novacan Black.
6-Assemble.Place desired plaster piece in pendant,add two part resin.Once cured,assemble the rest of the pendant using desired findings.
I can tell you that with this project alone I learned so many things..
-I have always had Plaster of Paris in the house.(projects with the kids)..but had no idea how to incorporate it into my art.
-The plaster is very delicate and breaks easily,so you have to be gentle with it
-I have never used Novacan Black solder patina and its Wonderful!!
Thank you Stephanie..for continuing to teach me..
Next up.."The Time Capsule Ring" pg 105
As always,

i love how you are taking this passion and applying it to your art and creating such beautiful things. this is truly one of those times where the process is as beautiful as the outcome. enjoy it all!
I'm amazed at the skill involved and the time it took to make each of your finished (and you finished 3!!) jewelry piece - making the molds, plaster, painting, bezels, resin, creating the necklaces. I can appreciate what went in to each one. Thank you for sharing the inspiration today...now if only I had an ounce of your determination and energy!
