I was looking for ideas to upcycle vintage jewelry and I think you inspired some ideas - I may do similar, more 3D and sun-catcher style since the Christmas season is over now.

Thanks for your comment … there is a thick plastic liquid called “Pouring Medium” that they sell in art stores which most people use for making artwork via “pours”. It’s fascinating art, you can look it up. Well that’s the stuff they use (and add colour to) and I bought a gallon of it once by accident thinking it was gesso! Not wanting to go back to the store I decided to find a use for it. 😂

Gorgeous!! So beautiful!! ♥️♥️♥️ sorry, cannot pick a favourite 😄 they are all beautifully unique!

Oh, thanks for that comment! The backgrounds took quite a while to do, and then I had to change some after the jewelry was attached, to make them “go”.

Wow! absolutely gorgeous! I drooled when you showed your incredible collection of junk jewelry. If your selling these, they will be a hit. Love how you pour glue over all of it. So smart. I've made note of what your using.

Thanks for your comment! Great question and lately as I looked at them (in my living room) I thought the same thing. I think laziness is the answer. … I was imagining a snowy background. (By the way, my iPhone makes colours more intense than they really are.)

Those are stunning! What kind of glue do you use? Does it need epoxy or just glue? Would Mod Podge work? I love them! They are wonderful🐝🤗❤️

Thank you for your encouraging comments! (Sorry my answer took a while, I’m in Nova Scotia and we’re currently out of power) As far as glue, this time I used Pouring Medium as the glue. Sometimes I use E6000 or white glue. I’m not experienced with ModPodge but I think it’s more for paper products.

You indicated you used pouring medium to glue. Are you talking about paint pouring medium? The finished pieces are beautiful and don’t look like there is any glue residue. I would love to try this technique with my mom’s jewelry.

Wow that’s amazing, which glue u used plz tell me.

How very lovely! I just finished a jewelry tree for a holiday gift and I was looking for something else to do with my broken jewelry, I am so GLAD I got to see this video. Your work is fantastic. may I ask what type of glue ue use on the first layer when gluing down the jewelry? Thank you so much for the video.

I first used some really thin varnish to “tack” everything in place. Once it’s all set, I’ll either use a few more layers of varnish, and/or a thin layer of pouring medium.

Oh and it’s all acrylic based, I like to clean my brushes with water. Liquitex or craft store varnish.

I didn;t see how it is "glued" or resin, how does it stay in place?

On this project, I tacked everything down lightly with a thin acrylic varnish (sometimes I use thinned down white glue). And then when it’s totally dried, I paint on a layer or two of pouring medium - not so much that it flows over the piece, but I also paint the edges.

Actually I used two 1/4” boards glued together to be able to hang them more easily. One board has a slot about one inch by 1/4 inch so it can fit a screw or nail that’s in the wall. These could also possibly be displayed on a little easel. They are 5 x 7 inches
