Watchfull Resin Charms
with a Dash of Bangles
with a Dash of Bangles
$145 one-day
class
In this class we’ll
create beautiful resin charms filled with crystal clear ICE Resin®. These little beauties, once dry, can be
used as a charm to hang later from a simple bangle we’ll design in class. Or, perhaps as a special focal that can
be used in The Gilded Heart necklace class I’ll be teaching on Sunday (even though either of these workshops
can be taken independently from the other).
You will have an
opportunity to design at least 5 watch bezels while in class, and more* if you
so desire. I’ll share my secret
for pouring resin into my favorite dainty vintage watch bezels, perhaps adding
tiny glass micro beads, vintage glass glitter, mica flakes, powder, chain, or
itty bitty charms, and/or precious pictures with bits of vintage text.
And, as an extra bonus,
we will work on a set of brass and bronze bangles. We’ll cover the process of annealing and forging thick gauge
wire, as well as adding texture.
Then, finish them off with a simple rivet closure, and perhaps a dash of
sari silk.
Please bring a container
to take your drying charms back to your room or home. Then, if you join me again on Sunday, you’ll have the option
to use one or more of your charms in class!
* I will have additional watch
bezels for sale in class

JOUJOU CHARM KEEPER
Oui! Let’s
play! A “juju” is a charm or
amulet with “magical” powers. The
word “juju” is derived from the French word joujou, meaning “toy” or “plaything.” In this class, we’ll spend a fun day
playing with cold connections, wire, beads, glass and even silk. We’ll assemble all sorts of joujou
charms and create a beautiful charm keeper pendant designed to hold them. I’ll
show how to create a glass vial charm, a layered mica charm and my special wire
bird’s nest charm published by Stampington in Belle Armoire Jewelry. I’ll also demonstrate a transfer-to-glass
technique using a chandelier crystal that we’ll turn into a charm. Students will learn jewelry making
basics such as how to make perfect jump rings but they’ll also learn more
advanced techniques such as how to make twisted wire jump rings, s-links,
rosary style links and wire wrapped briolette dangles. We’ll finish the necklace by incorporating
a beautiful piece of sari silk using spring crimp ends and learn how to make a
strong hook clasp to finish the piece.

French design when participating in this chic metal smith and soldering

experience with you. After deciding on a shape you love, cut it out with metal
shears, then prepare it for soldering. You have your choice of completely
drenching the little darling in hot solder, then embedding stampings and
rhinestone chain. Or etch the
front, and then add a dollop of some liquid solder loveliness, some stampings,
bling, and all kinds of found objects. Then cold connect a variety of your
favorite found items. All will be your choice. I can’t wait to show you how much fun these are to
make. Bring a little photo that
you love, to slip inside a 1” peek hole. And if you want to make a vintage
stand for your adorable frame, bring some 14ga brass wire and learn how to
forge a small stand, with a vintage flare. I will have some gallery wire
available, or bring your own, to complete the stand.
These sweet frames measure only about
2”-3”, so they are truly a keepsake that will be cherished. You can also opt
make a pendant out of your amazing creation as well. Just bring some chain,
heavy jump rings, beads/gems and a clasp, and voila…a necklace! Gather up your beautiful vintage
rhinestone embellishments, beads/gems, treasures, stampings, vintage pieces, and
whatever you have collected to adorn your oh so tres chic frame. There will be a variety of items I will
bring for purchase as well. Won’t
you join me in creating this precious and personal treasure? Can’t you already

TIME
TO NEST
$145 one-day class
I love anything that’s vintage mother of pearl…brooches,
buttons, belt buckles, just to name a few. So when I decided to pull out my tiny box full of vintage
belt buckles, I knew I just had to design another necklace using one of
them. And, that’s how Time to Nest began…
Next, it was time to sift through my stash of vintage mother
of pearl buttons. It just seemed
like the thing to do, because there’s nothing quite like adding some stacked
button links to this design. You
can too!
So, now let’s see what you can do with some of the same
goodies I used in my necklace…a wonderful piece of brass filigree, a vintage
watch case, a dash of recycled sari silk ribbon, and of course, a vintage
mother of pearl belt buckle. I’ll
show you how to gently weave a tiny nestie right smack dab in the middle of the
buckle. And, you’ll surely fly
with creativity, as you begin filling your tiny watch case with whatever bits &
tiny goodies that’ll make your heart sing…I just know it!

These aren’t your mother’s rhinestones anymore! This
workshop is designed to give mom’s (and grandmother’s) jewels a complete make
over, modernizing the elegance of the past. Here is the opportunity to
bring all the collectibles you have been gathering up, and those beautiful
rhinestone necklaces handed down from generation to generation, to transform
them into a modern classic. We will disassemble these beauties, re-attach
pieces with found objects, while working through the design like a jigsaw
puzzle. The result is astonishingly beautiful, rich and eloquent, yet
casual enough to wear with your jeans. These are so much fun to make, you won’t
believe the flexibility you have when redesigning with vintage rhinestone
necklaces. Bring treasures like large old buttons, watch cases, old
brooches, antique buttons, pearls, some chain, vintage pictures/tintypes, frame
stampings, vintage and glass pearls, bead caps, maybe gems, whatever makes your
heart beat faster! You can work almost anything in to the design. I
like to mix metal colors if possible with my found objects, but this is
entirely up to you. The fun begins when narrowing down your selection, then how
to attach and where to put the objects, all completely gratifying when
done! I will be right along side, helping you with your vision. Plan to
wear your revitalized beauty to dinner that night! Dig out your buried trinkets
and keepsakes; this is the perfect opportunity to make those classic Hollywood
stars drool with jealously over your jaw-dropping “new-vintage” designs!

DERYN MENTOCK
CURIOSITY KEEPER’S NECKLACE
Take a touch of steampunk, mix in a little sparkle
and you have a style that some describe as “Industrial Romance”…delicate, with
an edge! I’ll show you how to get the look with this technique-filled
class. First you’ll create your
own personal “curiosity keeper” inspired by antique religious relics of days
past. Reliquaries have long been used to protect and preserve sacred items that
have significant meaning for the wearer. Bring a special image and/or any
special “curiosities”-- a bit of lace from a loved one’s garment, a charm from
grandma’s jewelry box, a religious medal, scrap of ribbon, text from a precious
letter or book, etc. Anything meaningful…and tiny…can be housed inside your
reliquary and worn as an amulet. This piece is completely cold connected and I’ll
show you the techniques to create the links, the clasp and the focal for the
necklace; including scroll links, wrapped links, a double wrapped hook and eye
clasp, twisted jump rings and a wrapped briolette dangle. This necklace was
recently featured in the book “1000 Steampunk Creations.”

CAST SOME MAGIC
FEBRUARY 10, 2013
9:00 am until 4:00 pm
CAST SOME MAGIC
$145 one-day class
This casting process is magical,
turning a common roll of solder into an aged, beautiful piece of art for your
necklace, bracelet, or earring creations.
Create one-of-a-kind pieces by using everyday materials! I will
demonstrate casting with ordinary hardware store solder. This is so much fun to do, once you try
it, you’re hooked. If you have
never used a micro butane torch, this workshop is the perfect opportunity. I will help you every step of the
way. And the castings have the
look and feel of heavy, aged silver treasure, you uncovered in an ancient dig.
You will make your own pendants and charms from scratch. Then the excitement continues as you
begin to attach your cast pieces, either on to a beautifully wound necklace, or
a fabulous charm bracelet. For the
necklace, you will encase a beautiful silk/rubber cord by wrapping on to it
rich sari silks and vintage lace, an assortment of different sized gems, beads
and bling, and then give the finishing touch with delicious, vintage found
objects, so luscious. Or, why not a charm bracelet, oozing with cast charms,
beads, bling and baubles? Once you
experience this casting process, you will be hooked! So come and play, learn how to make an easy, but gorgeous
casting, and then design some fun pieces to show them off.

Here is
what will be covered on Day 3:
The Torch-Fired Enamel
Ring with Tube-set CZ - The grand finale! End
your circus stint with a ring of fire!
Learn the basics of torch-fired enameling and create a mini piece of
artwork out of copper and molten glass. Next, combine your enameled element
with a sparkling tube-set cubic zirconia to create a completely custom and one
of a kind ring. The bezel and
shank making abilities you acquired over the previous two days will serve you
well when fabricating the thick walled frame that is to hold your
enamel-crusted creation. In
addition, tube-setting faceted stones is a skill that will blow the lid off the
design possibility big top! From
here, the sky is the limit!
