Zentangle becomes Dichroic Glass Fashion Jewellery

When Zentangle becomes Dichroic Glass Fashion Jewellery.

I was introduced to Zentangle art a couple of years ago through a friend on Facebook. At the time I thought, oooow now that would look nice on my Dichroic glass Fashion Jewellery. 

It's taken me this long to get around to doing something with this idea but I got there in the end.

It happened quite by accident.

Whilst searching the web for some new decals to fire into my designs I came across a company that did porcelain works. After trawling through lots of twee pictures of scenery and chocolate box scenes I came across this Zentangle design which sparked my old grey matter again on the Zentangle Fashion Jewellery Pendants 

Well I just had to have a go at these.

This picture shows a small section of the Zentangle design.

The following four pictures show the initial fired cabochons of 

dichroic glass in my chosen colours. 

Ow yes, there are a couple of extra ones that will stay as they are 

because I just loved the silvery sparkling nature of them.

 Once I had chosen and cut the part of the Zentangle design that I thought would look best on these colours. The pendants complete with design then had a second firing. 

Once cooled and out of the kiln I was amazed at the outcome. 

They are gorgeous, if I say so myself LOL.

 And here are just a few of the finished designs with pendant bails attached and waiting for there new owners.

These and more designs will be listed on my web site as soon as I can but you can find these and lots more on my Facebook page. I have two prices for my pendants. £15 for a pendant with a decal fired into it and £10 without decal, these prices may change in the future and p&p to the UK is £2

 and to the rest of the world is £5.

Thanks for reading, if you have time. Take a look at some of my other posts. There are funny ones, daft ones serious ones and posts where I just wanted to post.

Fairy Decal Pendant jewellery

When next meet in the Fairy dell,

May the silver moon's soft light

Shine then the faces gay as now,

And Elfin hearts as light.

Now spread each wing,for the eastern sky

With sunlight soon will glow.

The morning star shall light us home.

Farewell! for the Elves must go.

Fairy song

By: Louisa May Alcott (1832-1888)

Tree of Life Pendant Jewellery

The oaks and the pines, and their brethren of the wood, 

have seen so many suns rise and set, 

so many seasons come and go, 

and so many generations pass into silence, 

that we may well wonder what 

"the story of the trees" 

would be to us if they had tongues to tell it, 

or we ears fine enough to understand.

  

~Author Unknown, quoted in Quotations for Special Occasions by Maud van Buren, 1938

Dragon Eye Pendant Jewellery

Gaze into a dragon's eyes

Go with him and sever ties

From tortured reality and a world so plain

Into the world where fiction reigns.

Dragon Eyes

Catitude Cat Pendant Jewellery

Macavity's a Mystery Cat: he's called the Hidden Paw -

For he's the master criminal who can defy the Law.

He's the bafflement of Scotland Yard, the Flying Squad's despair:

For when they reach the scene of crime - Macavity's not there!

Macavity - the Mystery Cat, by T.S. Eliot

Elemental Dragon Pendant Jewellery

My eyes have bore into the beginnings of time itself

My scales have proven dependable and indestructible 

Through too many conflicts 

Antagonised by man

And yet I lie over you

An Astral Warrior

An elemental protector

I will rush to you when you call

Sairys,Grael,Fafnir,Nailyon

I am all and all are but 

An atom of my greatness and ability

I will survive through the ages

Mighty and immortal

For I am known as serpent

Great conquer and warrior

Over all things

I am

Dragon

Hope you enjoyed the, it was certainly a journey for me LOL

Small Dichroic Glass Stud Earring Jewellery

As mentioned in a previous post, 

here are the Small Dichroic Glass Stud Earring Jewellery. 

These pictures were taken straight after firing in the kiln. To keep the cabochons on the small side I fired them without top glass. This gives a new dimension to the colours and designs. With blue's, green's, red's and multi-colours, they are going to look stunning when worn.

 These last four pairs are my favourites, although I really like them all. Its just how the colour and crinkled affect they have. Cant wait to see these on display at a show and see what other people think of them.

Dichroic Glass Cremation Pendant.

I recently had what I thought was a strange request at the time. 

A Dichroic Glass Cremation Pendant.

But after googling the idea I realised that this was not a unique request and after a bit more head scratching I worked out how it could be done.

I worked out the price's and contacted Karen, the customer with the news. 

Karen is such a lovely woman, really friendly and smiley. She told me all about Brian, her late father and that she would love to have a pendant made to hold close to her at all times.

A few days later Karen, armed with a small heart shaped box of ashes turned up at the studio. It was a bit weird to think "I have a box of ashes in my hands" but once Karen explained how close she was with him and how much of a jocker he was. The weird feeling soon left me and I took a small amount of Brian's ashes for the pendant.

Karen had chosen the colours and size for the finished piece and she left me to it.

A few days later I had fired Brian on some gorgeous Dichroic Blue/green glass and for an extra bit (that I had not mentioned before) I had ground out a small heart shape in the back to put a little bit of the ashes there too.

As you can see from the following photos. The colours are stunning, the bail looks lovely and Brian sits well in his new home.  

There was a twist in the making of this cremation pendant. 

As I said before Brian was a bit of a jocker and as you can see. He is still working his magic. I have made hundreds of pendants over the last few years and have never before had this strange dimple on the edge, almost like Brian's up to his old jocks again, even in the afterlife. 

I will let you decide on that one.......

If you would like a Dichroic Glass Cremation Pendant of a loved one then please contact me on 

stevesmithjewellery@yahoo.co.uk 

and I will see what can be done. Price's start from as little as £25 and go upwards. It just depends on what you want.
