Category: Jewelry

Type of item: Accessory

For: Women

Style: Casual, Funky, Romantic, Whimsical, Victorian / Steampunk


Materials

Antiqued brass chain, Sheer brown ribbon, Thin blue cord, Wing charm, Clock face art superimposed over Man in the moon art, Gears, Various glass beads, Bird bead, headpins, Brass Blank, Letter Stamps, Alcohol inks, Dimension Magic

What was your inspiration?

I won an auction for some teeny tiny watch pieces, and have been wanting to do a clock inspired piece. The hands, stem and small gear in this piece are from former watches!

What are you most proud of?

I have never used alcohol inks before, and I like how the blank turned out with a gradient of color, instead over the whole thing. I used Paint Shop Pro to superimpose the watch face and the Man-in-the-moon face, which I glued to a circular blank, then covered with Dimensional Magic.

What advice would you give someone starting this project?

Try something new!
