This is an eclipse tin covered in beads and little embellishments. I have painted over everything with light gold Jo Sonja paint then added three different coloured iridescent (Jo Sonja's) paints randomly over the base colour. I have drilled a small hole in the lid and threaded wire through to hold a bead in place. Lastly I added another embellishment, glued in a tiny gem, and added gold embossing , which I have stamped into , just to create a little more texture and interest. And very last I have sprayed the whole thing with two coats of lacquer to ensure everything stays where it was put!!
...and...
...as a thank you to Carol for the gorgeous gift she sent me...see it HERE I unleashed my jewelry making tools, and skills...which are somewhat limited, and tried hard to make a bracelet. My inspiration come from the beautiful Jewelry Renate made for me. See it HERE.
Tonight our boys are away, hunting. . . no surprises there! This afternoon we went to town to pick Aimee up and to bring her home for the weekend, and we ended up buying a new tele...Camden ( our youngest) will be beside himself with joy when he sees it...Camden is a real television fan!!
I will be back tomorrow, for now it is time I was in my bed. Hope you are all having a wonderful weekend. xx
