~more goodies

enameled bottle cap earrings with petra drops. 

the crusty bits are my favs so far. all ready for you to create with. i pre-hammer
(with my lovely ancient awl) random holes for your dangly bits.
 i then file and re-hammer for that fresh and smooth cleanly-shaven-like feel. 

i call em slices

some more slices

green and blue arcs. hard to make the arch. very rustic for sure

pretty colors! the sample box of enamels came with sooooo many colors! i'm slowly
trying them by randomly grabbing a bag and going for it. fun fun

blue and black

purple and blue

pink and ochre.

all available at my junk drawer shop.
have an extremely lovely day full of love, adventure and respite.

~enameled beer bottle caps. yum.

these will go in the destash shop later for others to create with. 

i learned so much doing this!

            like for instance, not to flame the enamel from the top. just go and glow steady from underneath.

and to lay the enamel on thick. not a puny dusting.

AND, not to burn off the paint first. just lay on the powder and go!

these i flamed from the top in black and then did again a second time in pink. love them!

 then make sure you like the color match.

 hammering and deciding on how to cut them is a bit time consuming but worth it. 

look at 'em! i'd say a success for sure.

 

and the shape. oh the shape. I HATE these round ones, but my family loves their rotund nature. lol 

gotta do some more enameling and get better at it. 

ohhh, i'm in love with melting glass again!

love, love.
