June 13, 2013 1 Comment

I did a fun post about how to make this pendant necklace using a quotation from Oz The Great And Powerful and it has gotten a really positive response (so thank you for that) but what it has also gotten was a whole lot of questions about the Fuseworks Microwave Kiln that I used to make […]

I love this little globe I picked up at a yard sale a few years ago.  I have transformed it a couple of times over.  It’s had two Halloween make-overs and been repainted for Valentine’s Day.  I have another project coming up, but in the meantime, I got a wild hair and decided to do […]

Easy antique wash for distressed artwork.

May 9, 2013 4 Comments

This […]
