Leafing week: pendants

Hi, 
There was a bit of a mix up as Isa'sArt worked with the fragments instead of the leafing/gilding flakes. But the project is beautiful and would work with leafing too, so I post it anyway. 


Those Mica fragments can be glued to your projects, heated, embossed or even, as Isa did here, used with UTEE (or andy embossing powders) to make pendants


Here's how she did it.
1- She used a melting pot to heat the plain metal pendant
2- She then sprinkled some embossing powder(s) on the hot metal
3- She added the fragments over the hot (melted) powder (You could use gilding flakes too) which "sink" in the hot embossed piece. 
4/ Take it off the melting pot and let it cool for a while

And you get this... isn't it gorgeous?

So have fun with your melting pot/powders and flakes and we shall see you tomorrow
Don't forget to come and show us if you try this technique ;)
