Love, Love my friends at Spellbinder’s Paper Arts! Stacey and I met on a Scrapbooking cruise in 2005 and I am so proud of her success!
Media Mixage (pronouced – mix-aaahhh-je – love the AHHH part!) is a delicious collection of bezels, blanks, dies, paper, textures and more to create stunning mixed media jewelry and other artful projects.
The beauty of this line is the built in value of Spellbinder’s products because everything they make is made to build on the core foundation. You simply select your base shape and then you can mix and match other elements with ease depending on your style or skill level. Each time you add to your collection with additional dies and other elements, you just expand the possibilities you have to create. I’m convinced there is no other products out there on the market that can do everything that these products can do. It’s so simple, yet the results are worth a million bucks!
Obviously I couldn’t wait to open everything and get to playing. I’m like a kid in a candy store.
Here’s the first project tutorial in the Media Mixage Jewelry series that I made. These bezels were designed by Susan Lenart-Kazmir.
Choose the size of the shape you want to work with. I worked with the largest triangle in the set.
I colorized my brass findings with alcohol ink and then wrapped it around the bezel to secure. There are so many options when adding findings, bling and bezel, I encourage to you play and practice.
You can add additional elements and charms to the bezels for added interest.
Finish by attaching your bezel to a vintage style link or chain and add a toggle. .
As much as we hate to say it.. or even think it….fall is just around the corner.
So it’s time to start thinking about putting together your fall wardrobe.
I just heard on the news today that the unemployment rate has sky rocketed again and is the highest it’s been in the past few months. I sincerely hope none of you are having to endure that sort of stress. But if funds are a little tight this year, as they are for many, I’ve got a great way to give your fall wardrobe a little spruce of energy with out stressing out the old pocket book.
