Oh my goodness! Do I have exciting news!!!! I am happy to announce that I am working in conjunction with Spellbinder’s Creative arts to bring you a brand new video each and every Monday!
I’ll be working with the Spellbinder’s® Media Mixáge™ line to create all sorts of mixed media projects from jewelry making to art journals, assemblages and more. I’m so excited about this opportunity to really explore beyond my comfort zone and I hope you will join on this journey with me.
My first video shows you how to texture brass blanks using the Spellbinder’s® Artisan X-Plorer™ machine. I am so in love with this machine and all the things it can do and as I share more video’s I think you will love it just as much as I do.
This pendant is quick and easy and can be done and worn in about 30 minutes! Make sure you subscribe to my blog below and to my youtube channel so you don’t miss any of the videos! Enjoy!
