We have just received a new shipment of altered art supplies.
Enameling fluxe resin : This comes in a bottle of 57gm (2oz) and consists of fine particles. For use with wood, metal and polymer clay it is one of the simplest ways to create a professional look with bezels and altered art projects. To use you need to cover the project with the granules or in the case of bezels fill enough to the top, and then heat in an oven to 121 degrees for around about 10-15 minutes. The finish is a clear professional resin look that doesnt have any bubbles.
In this example i have used some of our keepsake pendants and vintage empherema sheets with the fluxe enameling glaze on the top.( pictured underneath )
Gel De Soleil Sunlight Curing resin : This new product is a resin that cures in the sun underneath a uv lamp in 15 minutes. It hardens over the next 2 hours. Unlike
other kinds of resins it already comes in a mixed bottle so you just need to fill the bezel with the resin and expose it to complete
We also have new bezel settings available in gold and silver plated. Use them
in combination with our paper punches to create your own vintage pendants
and projects. A great new product we also have is the typewriter set 16pc which
includes 16pc antique silver bezels, a sheet of antique typewriter stickers and
domed stickers. You can either use them to create the typewriter charms or cut your own images out to customize !

We have a new range of paper blossoms available to our store as unfortunately our previous calligraphy flower range is no longer available. These new packs are available in 36pc sets in either an antique or brights tones. Made of a textured paper material they can be used for all jewelery projects. They are great for stacking and combining in projects
We also have tulle flowers for accents and paper trellis roses available. They look really good as a feature in the centre of a choker or long necklace or really great for that fab focal ring. Ive used our rings with one loop and the jet tule flowers have a connector adhered to the back
We also stock gel blossoms, which are made of a clear gel plastic that is very lightweight and looks really transparent and chic. Ive combined a stack of the items with our swarovski crystals and fire polish crystals to make a funky cuff
bracelet.

Charm bracelets are the perfect way to create something that not only is quick, but you can add alot of character about who you are into the bracelet. Our charm range we have some great sets which include bees, sewing items, dogs, cats, paris, keys, paris, london, lockets and many more. Ive combined some of theese to make a simple bracelet in 5 different themes.
