Oh,no. I’m gonna have a new obsession….💜💛🧡💚

[@VikkiReed]

Lol, I know, me too! It's all just so much fun and so addicting

[@sylviesoulard1346]

C'est toujours un plaisir de voir un nouveau vidéo de vous Merci de partager bonne journée 😊

[@VikkiReed]

Merci Sylvie! Wishing you a wonderful day as well!

[@headlessviolin]

Oooh loving that glass bottom as well as the pendant off I go to the charity shops again for another hunt. Always love your videos so great to always see your smiling face thank you xxx

[@VikkiReed]

Thank you so much, happy hunting for gorgeous glass! One tip, feel the bottom of the glass to ensure it is flat and will leave a great impression!

[@jocelynelarose3715]

Super good idea, I like it feel the spring🥰 much coulors thank -you good job👍

[@VikkiReed]

Thank you Jocelyne!

[@stephanieh.777]

I'll definitely be trying this! And raiding my old jewellery stash! Thank you for sharing this.

[@VikkiReed]

Stephanie, thank you, I know, I'm looking for more pieces like that as well, just be sure you don't mind getting paint on it. I find most of it comes off after soaking in alcohol and brushing, but I wouldn't use a treasured item...that said, have fun!

[@stephanieh.777]

@@VikkiReed I have a stash of junk jewelry bits & bobs that want using, so nothing valuable! I'll try your tip with alcohol - I use that to clean a large tile I use for glueing and painting on, and it works quickly.

[@s.k.1091]

Thanks for another fun video and for giving me yet something new to try 😅

[@VikkiReed]

S.K., thanks for viewing and commenting, I hope you have fun!

Very cool!

[@VikkiReed]

Thank you Donna!

[@user-rb5zl9rf5w]

Hi Vikki. I was wondering how the magazine photos work--thank you! For the heavy body acrylic, do you think it's possible to do that for the first coat of paint and then use a fluid body paint after that? Or does heavy body paint need to be used for all the layers?

[@VikkiReed]

Lori, that is a great question, I haven't tried to use fluid acrylic over the initial heavy body base, but I will and report back! Stay tuned!

[@headlessviolin]

Vicki it’s me again rewatching was that Lego real Lego or fake Lego it leaves such good circles just before I go to the charity shop to hunt please just as good on a second look thank you xx

[@VikkiReed]

This is an amazing tool, it is actually a Duplo, not a Lego, the Duplo are made for smaller children (and hands) the Legos are smaller pieces with smaller circles. I had them on hand because I purchased Duplo sets for my granddaughters! I return to my favorites over and over again, two glass pieces, the Duplo, the silicone trivet patterned in honeycomb, and now the jewelry piece, so fun!

[@headlessviolin]

@@VikkiReed that description made me laugh, I remember coming home with my 18 month son and looking through the window to find my 18 year old son building his brothers duplo you are never too old lol. I had one son in the 70’s one in the 80’s and last one in the 90’s my treasures everyone. As usual thank you Vicki xxx

[@VikkiReed]

@@headlessviolin Wow, congratulations on three boys, how great is that! Okay, so I feel confident you know what to look for, happy hunting, and happy printing!

[@denorahmicale5581]

Was that a copy of a photo or the actual photo you used? PS…..those both are very cool. Love them. TYFS

[@VikkiReed]

Great question Denorah! It was the actual image from a magazine. To use photos, or photocopies, you must have a laser printer instead of and inkjet (at least this is my current understanding). High contrast black and white images seem to work the best!

[@sigridurthorvaldsdottir]

Hi, where can I buy gelli plate? All you do is beutyful, I like to try...

[@VikkiReed]

Sigridur, you can find gelli plates on Amazon, I like the Gel Press Plates, 8" X 10", here is a link - a.co/d/hMbh5oh have fun!

[@vanessarobinson1080]

Oh no...not again Vikki! Now its off to the jewellers.....!

[@VikkiReed]

Oh no! Not the jewelers...the second hand stores have affordable pieces, lol, I know you'll find something just right!
