The days when I can make something from odds and ends on my table are really happy ones.
I have been going through my different grab bags of irregular resin beads. The shapes are odd and it is a real challenge to see what I can do with them.
I found five of these brown beads in the one bag and used African Bronze Gilder’s Paste to make them look more exotic.
Now for the odds and ends. I made these flowers with Apoxie Sculpt at different times over the last few weeks. Whenever I had left over clay from a project I pushed it into a mold, hence these many different colours.
I covered the flowers with German Silver Gilders Paste! Now they were all the same! All I had to do was attach my clay flowers to my plastic resin beads. To do this I tried a new product called Apoxie Paste!
Apoxie Paste is from the same company that makes Apoxie Sculpt. It is a two part adhesive. The working time is so long though! Almost three hours. So you can make up a batch and use as needed. And, you can also colour it! I added some African Gold Gilders Paste to it so that my glue would not be visible once I attached the flowers.
The glue worked beautifully. It was designed to help you attach Apoxie Sculpt finished pieces to other surfaces.
A few jump rings and some finishing components helped me to complete this new bracelet!
Beautiful Carmi…oh so many crafts, so little time!
