Atc Swap and some Earrings

 I am joining in with an ATC mixed media swap over on UKS.

I have to say i fell in love with the Jane Davenport "face" stamps- no I didn't draw them.

 I cut up some card and used alcohol inks and bubble wrap to make the backgrounds. I then added some distress ink with various stencils.

 I stamped the faces onto some of the backgrounds and then water coloured them and cut them out.

 I found some very old peel off metal words that i first painted and then used a wax over them.

 I cut up the odd bits to make the "flowers" and leaves.

 I added glitter glue ( can't have enough of that!) and a pearl and inked around the edge.

The end result

 Yesterday I made some Rainbow Moonstone and sterling silver earrings.

 These will be in the Etsy shop when I reopen later in the month.

 I also made these.

 Multi colour Sapphire,Ruby and Emerald rondel gemstones with sterling silver. They are very fiddly to make and use LOADS of silver head pins but I love the end result.

These will also be available in the store later in the month.

Back soon
