Project 3 for powder coating: powdercoat as canvas. Decided to make simple doodle creatures for this brooch. Spring yellow and graphite with a coat of Clear Vision. #makecicadatime ...

My wackiest creation for powdercoat is this creature portrait. I was thinking it could be a series… not sure yet. Who out there is a fan of Edward Gorey?! Me!!!

This was yet another fun experiment, now complete. Powdercoat pliquing with prismacolor. Sealed with a razor thin layer of clear.. almost matte finish just from heating!

One powdercoat blossom bangle down, one more to go for Project no. 2 @baltimorejewelrycenter

Juicy amber wing… this is what transparent gold looks like without chrome under it.

I can’t decide what finish I like better… glossy peach? Or sanded down to a matte finish? What do you think?

Last little touches and this wing is done! Yes, I do see more plique in the future; yours and mine! FYI this is vitreous enamel in opalescent white. Thompson’s #2061.

And for post #1500 I just want to say thank youuuuuuuu to each of you who takes that precious time on IG and follows all my wacky artistic endeavors. I learn so much from my little creative community and I hope I inspired you in some way.. I mean, it only took me 1500 times to try, right? 🤣💕

“Hello. My name is Eleflower!” At about 1” tall and made completely out of metal, she is a tiny wonder! Eleflower likes nature, botanicals, and most of all, drawing with her little pencil in her tiny trunk! ✏️🐘

Oh the possibilities are so endless… lemon cicada with mix-matchy wing studs! ...

I think this motif is going to show up somewhere on my bench soon… ...

More mix and match with leftover studs and wings. ...

New brooch pendant experiment, powder coating all the way around. Ivory pearl backing, red frame and stamped botanical pattern in charcoal ...

Another interesting experiment with leftovers! ...

In case you’re wondering, yes, my workbench is a hot mess right now…at least it’s not boring 🤣 ...

Life is better with color. ...

Powder coated my first test stamping of my favorite fern pattern!! What do you think?! Maybe now try layered contrasting colors!!! ...

It’s getting really interesting! All these experiments are leading to more questions… stay tuned for new ideas! #powdercoating ...

#powdercoating is instant satisfaction! ...

Oh hey. Would you look at this: I don’t like mixing my enamel sifters with powder coat sifters, so I made my own using a Reusable Kcup filter. Yes. Same mesh. About 80 grit. Sifts nice and even, holds tons of powder and even has a flip top. When finished, just rinse and dry! For $1.67, you’re welcome! ...

Another powder coating practice piece… ...

Jewelry for my feet! ...

Baby’s first powder coat 🧥 Goo goo!!!! 💙💛 ...

Ooh la la.. with Valentine’s Day coming soon, I thought making a cardboard lover’s eye might be fun! 💕👁❤️ ...

I splurged. ...
