JFF - Week 18 - Eye Spy

A bit ago I had a play around with a glue gun and created some patterns.  When cooled, I coloured the glue with rub n buff.  I used the one on the left to make the hanging below.

I stamped an eye into friendly plastic pellets and once cooled, coloured it with spanish copper and jade rub n buff.  I added a large green gem for the inner of the eye.  I mounted it on the glue.  I stamped 'beauty is in the eye of the beholder' from the creative expressions spirit plate in peeled paint distress embossing powder onto the black card.  I then layered it onto green card and added a piece of organza ribbon to hang.

FP Pellets Pendants

These pendants were made using the photo transfer technique as demonstrated by Linda Peterson of FPTV.  They are both covered in glossy accents.

The bezels and bails are also a Linda Peterson design.

FP Brooch

You might recognise this outside of this brooch from a previous post.  That's because I decided to change the inside to make it less chunky.

FP Pellets & Ooze

I've been having a play with the FP pellets today.  They look like frogspawn when they are all melted and they all stick together!!  They are clear when you pick them out the hot water and can be coloured with AI's.  I used meadow on the first layer of this piece and then stream on the outside layer.  The stream is usually a very vivid blue but it really does take a lot to colour them.

The inner piece is pellets and coloured with ginger AI, but it's way too thick.  I should have rolled it out more.  The outside piece is the burnt orange from the foiled strips. You can see the difference in colour!!!

Bottom right is pellets coloured with stream AI, again too thick.  The other five pieces are from the foiled strips and have had the ooze technique used on them.  I cut the bottom left with an 's' shaped cookie cutter, but decided to leave it in the square.  If you enlarge the picture you can see the ooze just coming through in the shape of an 's'.
