I love making beautiful things out of discarded objects. Life needs Art so I try to make a lot of it. Many hours of work went into making theses sparkly and intricate "Royal Ornaments". Hope you like my video!

Could you explain the pouring medium, please. They are beautiful.
@dorothealeblancart5 ай бұрын
Thanks for your comment … there is a thick plastic liquid called “Pouring Medium” that they sell in art stores which most people use for making artwork via “pours”. It’s fascinating art, you can look it up. Well that’s the stuff they use (and add colour to) and I bought a gallon of it once by accident thinking it was gesso! Not wanting to go back to the store I decided to find a use for it. 😂

Thank you for your encouraging comments! (Sorry my answer took a while, I’m in Nova Scotia and we’re currently out of power) As far as glue, this time I used Pouring Medium as the glue. Sometimes I use E6000 or white glue. I’m not experienced with ModPodge but I think it’s more for paper products.

You indicated you used pouring medium to glue. Are you talking about paint pouring medium? The finished pieces are beautiful and don’t look like there is any glue residue. I would love to try this technique with my mom’s jewelry.

I didn;t see how it is "glued" or resin, how does it stay in place?
@dorothealeblancart10 ай бұрын
On this project, I tacked everything down lightly with a thin acrylic varnish (sometimes I use thinned down white glue). And then when it’s totally dried, I paint on a layer or two of pouring medium - not so much that it flows over the piece, but I also paint the edges.

How very lovely! I just finished a jewelry tree for a holiday gift and I was looking for something else to do with my broken jewelry, I am so GLAD I got to see this video. Your work is fantastic. may I ask what type of glue ue use on the first layer when gluing down the jewelry? Thank you so much for the video.
@dorothealeblancart10 ай бұрын
Oh, sorry for not replying sooner, just saw this comment today. I use acrylic varnish on the first layer, because it’s nice and thin and won’t push the finer pieces away from their designated spots.

Actually I used two 1/4” boards glued together to be able to hang them more easily. One board has a slot about one inch by 1/4 inch so it can fit a screw or nail that’s in the wall. These could also possibly be displayed on a little easel. They are 5 x 7 inches
