At the beginning of the year I decided I would post regularly to my blog but as you can see 6 months later that didn't happen. I really work hard keeping my facebook page up to date and I don't seem to have anything left for the blog or Instagram. I will continue where I left off and update you on my jewelry.
A couple of months ago I started mixing up low fire glazes; I wanted my jewelry to have some color but in order for the clay to remain porous, so the pendants could be used for essential oils, the glaze needed to be a low fire formula The formula is very simple, 95% Frit 3134 and 5% EPK, then add the mason stain of your choice. This formula will cause crackles which for jewelry is awesome!
I also started stamping on metal, a fun way to add a little extra to each piece. The white pendant is glazed with a low fire glaze that I bought. The dragonfly is glazed with my glaze, with the addition of 7% Robins egg blue mason stain.
The heart is glazed with my glaze, with the addition of Bermuda green at 7%
This pendant is a combination of the two stains.
These little car fresheners are a new idea, put a little essential oil on the back and car will smell wonderful.
I will be experimenting with more colors this coming up week, there are endless possibilities!
