Studio Kiln Time

Ou-La-La Kiln!!! 
Wahoo!!

Okay, I have my own special kiln now and don't have to bug my good friend, and fellow artist, Jean Van Brederode every other day!!  hehehe  Actually, I bought my kiln from Jean, a Paragon distributor!  We had the had a inagural day with My SC2 and oh what fun!

These are two of my very first projects using my brand new tool! Awesome day to play indoors with a hot fire in the stove and the kiln turned on, while the freezing rain spit outside.

enameled book pendant

For a special new mom!

After the thrill of the enamel, I finished up a few little projects waiting in the wing.  For one, there is a pile of StoryPeople charms that I designed for Brian Andreas a few years back.  (think some are still posted on his website.)  Even though these were the odd and flawed pieces, I could not melt them down.  I keep them in a little cup, and occasionaly use them in a few special pieces that I wear myself, or give to someone special.  This particular little book pendant will find its way to sunny Florida, in a day or two, intended for a certain art sista friend of moi.   Oh what fun!!

Florida Bound!

The ring shank is a piece from the Industrial Chic line by Susan Lenart Kazmer. I filled it with a few BB's, some rhinestones and a few copper shavings, then covered it with Susan's Ice Resin, of course.  I love this ring!  Keeping this lov-a-lee.
