- Too many modern jewelry works these days.
I have been charmed by ancient art works.
They are so lovely and elegant.

- Hi, BeadRee,
Thank you for your comment.
Yes, most of my silver jewelry pieces are classic
looking so far. I love carving figures on dry silver clay.
I still have lots of room to improve. I will appreciate it
if you give me your constractive opinion for my pieces.

Raine said… - Hi Rita,
Thanks for your comments! I'm very glad you enjoyed my slideshow! The song playing is called "Underneath" by Alanis Morrisette.
For my collages... I use a combination of Spray Adhesive (lazy but quick and easy!) and/or PVC glue with a brush. Never had much success with glue sticks - no matter what brand!
I always use some wax (or other non-stick) paper and a small brayer (roller) to squeeze out any wrinkles in the images and use a damp cloth to mop up any excess glue.
When I'm finished I spray my work with either a matt or gloss spray fixative/varnish. All of these things can be bought at any art supply shop but I source them as cheap as possible - usually at a $2 shop - or some other discount store. The brands are unknown but I've found the products do the same job and are SO much more affordable - especially when you use alot! Same with spray paints which I sometimes use as a base on things before I collage on top. I love to experiment with colours - and also bronze, copper, gold and silver. They dry quickly and make a great sealer. Although I also cover my backgrounds with some kind of decorative paper first instead of paint.
Another product I can't live without is "rub 'n' buff" which comes in a tube and is most often used for antiquing and gilding mirrors/frames etc. It comes in different metallic colours and I squeeze some on my finger (it's like a dry/slightly oily paint) and run it around the edges of my work and blend it in. It gives the work a great protective seal and seems to just set them off! This product may be called other names - just look for gilding paints etc. You can use it on just about anything, it dries almost immediately and afterwards you give it a rub and it brings out the sheen. It's also waterproof.
It's not cheap (although sometimes you can get it on sale) but I find that these tubes last for AGES as you only have to use a tiny amount each application.
Ok Rita, that's all for now but please feel free to ask anything else that pops into mind! I am happy to share!
I also make things just for decorative purposes but for my special works, the thing which draws me to SoulCollage is that I find the process to be very intuitive and insightful and adds another dimension to my work which I love.
Somehow there is always an element of mystery which comes through these which appeals to me.
I am really keen to get started on making collage jewellery - I just need some spare time! Don't we all! LOL
