and cleaned them up using the dremel , split mandrel and sand paper - dipped them in the permalac and hung them to dry -
I have a fan going for air circulation in the studio but it also helps in drying - only takes minutes
I found my engraved zentangle pieces - they are small
The copper piece fits right into the open circle so I used it as a template
I grind it as round as possible and keep fitting it in the pendant
I also ground the back thinner as well to get it more level with the piece
decided I didnt want to have it too high
I use a regular inland grinder
I set them with my resin - which is a two part epoxy and works just as well as glue
they dont look like little spaceships any more
All in all - I think they turned out exactly how I pictured them in my mind and I think they are finished
I am seeing some possible wire wrapping around the pendant - holes - that double wire weaving etc.. I ll have to try something before putting extra holes in them
some funky ideas
Now those are gorgeous!
ReplyDeleteThey would look great with tear drop dangles.
ReplyDeleteyes leaning towards dangles -plain wire or make some etched dangles hmmmmmm
