I’m excited to announce another of my classes at CraftArtEdu was just released! This is my Fantasy Tree Pendants for All Seasons class.
Click on any of the photos for a closer look.
You can see a free preview of the class over at CraftArtEdu.com.
In the class you’ll learn how to:
- Make your own custom cabochons – in any size you need – using paints with unique self-manipulating properties.
- Add your choice of sparkly inclusions – like metal leaf, iridescent flakes and more – for a truly customized look.
- Incorporate your cabochons into a lovely sculpted statement necklace!
In this class, I show you how to make a summer pendant (above) full of sparkling splendor. With the techniques you’ll learn along with the templates included, you can go on to make a pendant for fall, winter and spring, too!
I also show you several additional techniques to enhance the fantasy of your piece including how to:
- Create a pendant background that sparkles like dappled sunshine.
- Sculpt a complex-looking tree (using a very easy method!) and add beaded foliage for extra sparkle.
- Accent your pendant with a twisted rope border for added texture.
- Embellish your cabochon with beads.
- Add and decorate a matching bail and finish your necklace with ribbons, chain and beads.
Every technique in this class can be used in so many ways, and your seasonal themed necklaces are just the beginning!
This class is on sale for $19 instead of $28 through Tuesday, June 13.
Or perhaps fantasy pendants aren’t your thing, but you’d like to learn just the cabochon technique?
We’ve got you covered!
In the Fantasy Cabochons class you’ll learn to use fantasy paint effects and mixed media to make gorgeous cabochons that can be used in a wide variety of projects. No need to search for the perfect cabochon when you can make your own!
- Create intriguing cabochons – in any size you need – using paints with unique self-manipulating properties.
- Add your choice of sparkly inclusions – like metal leaf, iridescent flakes and more – for a truly customized look.
- Mimic the look of opals, and customize colors to enhance your projects!
I include lots of tips, hints and tricks to ensure your cabochons look amazing! This technique is quite addictive, so be sure to experiment with colors, sizes, shapes and inclusions.
This class is on sale for $12 instead of $18 through Tuesday, June 13.
Please note: This class is included in the Fantasy Tree Pendants for All Seasons class above. If you want to take this fantasy technique a step further, consider purchasing that class instead!
In case some were on your wish list, my other classes are on sale through Tuesday as well.
Happy creating!
