Butterfly Specimen

This necklace is one of my latest creations as an ICE Resin® Creative Team designer. When I showed it to my Hubby he asked if it

was a real butterfly so I guess my design was successful!

It's very easy to make.

I first cut a butterfly image from the Belles Dames Francaise flip book and used Modge Podge to adhere it to a plexi-glass circle.

Then I stamped a swirling dot design onto

a second plexi-glass circle using black Staz-On ink.

I placed the plexi-glass pieces into a round staple bezel with

the butterfly and stamping on the inside and used

pliers to crimp the staples holding everything into place.

I then showcased the butterfly pendant

between a couple of decorative corset clasp connectors.

For the neck cord, I added some pretty blue and pink organza ribbons and wrapped them with copper wire in a couple of places.

To finish it off I added one of my

handcrafted copper hook and eye clasps.

Every now and then I create with a little

bit of fluff and femininity...I am a girl after all!

Thanks for stopping by!

Want to be on the ICE Resin® Creative Team?

ICE Resin® is searching for designers for their 2012-2013 Creative Team.

WAIT!

Before you say to yourself,

"No one knows who I am.

Why would I ever have a chance at being chosen?"

Remember, I said the same thing last year when I heard about the opportunity. I went for it anyway...what did I have to lose?

And here I am, a member of the 2011-2012 Creative Team.

  Here is a short description from their blog post

of what they are looking for.

You might wonder what we are seeking in a Designer; we are looking for someone with not only a keen eye for design but also a strong understanding of trends as well as individuals with the ability to think outside of the box while remaining cutting edge, trendsetting and true to their own style. Keep in mind while we are seeking artistically minded Designers we are not necessarily narrowing our vision to those who are widely known in the industry. Rather, it is our hope to create a team of Designers with various skills and design aesthetics.

 You can find more information

along with the application form on their blog.

Be Brave...Go For It!!

Good Luck!
