Being unemployed has given me too much time on my hands. Started with jewelry and now I read about scrabble tile pendants and I thought it was an extremely creative and original idea for pendants. So now I am working on that too. (Anything too keep busy) Why wear the pendants that maybe a million people out there may have? Instead buy a pendant that suits your personality and will be hard to find two people with the same one. Of course in my case, I will be making the pendants. Depending on the pendant, I might wear the and do myself some self promoting. When I feel extremely confident in something, I usually try my best to excel in it.
I have 3 scrabble tile pendants in the works. Ofcourse, my first attempt wasn't my best (but it was not too shabby either). My second and third attempt show my progress in perfecting this.
What I like about scrabble tile pendants is that each one has it's own personality and with a ball chain, they make a great gift or personal gift. You can wear them to almost anywhere you want to express yourself in and they can have a cartoon image, a painting, or even a photograph.
I had never used diamond glaze before and I feel weird using it as we speak. (too many rules and regulations, such as "Don't ever shake") But I feel it gives my work a great look to it.
This craft is lengthy though. Each step takes about 2 minutes, but the dry time is about 4-6 hours. This is best done when you are working on multiple designs and ofcourse doing it in the late hours. That way, your glaze dries during the night and in the morning you can finish your pendants.
Well enough babbling about the scrabble tile pendants. I will be working on the pendants this week and by next week I anticipate to have all the materials needed to complete them and post pictures for you all to see and enjoy. :)
