I made this with the great tutorial from River Valley. It's got inks, pearl powder and a glassy Kato liquid top. It reminds me of the mysterious road under the sea that some say leads to the lost city of Atlantis.
This is a group of the first glass cabochons I made using some of my Zentangle doodles. Glass cabs on top, UV resin to adhere them to the glass and seal the backs. I love making them. :)
Polymer clay square cabochon. I wrote about this on my bog: fulgorine.wordpress.com/2015/03/05/polymer-clay-challenge...
From Winter, 2008. An original pattern and design. Stitched on printed "quilt" fabric with a heavy interfacing and backed with Ultrasuede Lite.
Appears as some sort of brecciated agate. The SMS rock-pile seems likely. It's probable that this is coprolite (dino poop).
We are having a MAJOR heat wave here in Vancouver. With the humidity temps feel like 40 degrees (100 F.) Most homes here do not have A/C -- usually the weather is quite moderate here on the Pacific Ocean. My apartment temp fluctuated between 80 to 84 degrees today.
Anyway, handling clay too much today just got it gooey, so I decided to make a bunch of cabs for future use. Not too much handling and just brush on Pearl Ex powder .... (and bake in my bead-making toaster-oven which I had put outside on the balcony of my apartment).

i have stumbled upon a new love:
umba sapphires.
they are genuine sapphires, from the umba river valley of tanzania, and they are truly magical! some of them have a feldspar-like gleam, not unlike labradorite.... some are full of specks of glitter, some are transparent, and ALL are this amazing, earthy, watery, blue-green-lavender-gray-gold mix of colors, along with the unmistakable corundum pearlescent surface.
OH!
how i love these babies! they are cut somewhat roughly, which makes me love them all the more; they are an earthy treasure altered just enough to use in a wearable trinket, which i shall have to do, toot sweet.
Experimenting with making "virtual cabs" using Photoshop Elements and some Alien Skin plugins to bevel, shadow and generate backgrounds.

The uninhabited Jolo islands remain mysterious even to the islanders themselves. Teeming with inhospitably thick hardwood forest and wild snakes and boars, they are left untouched by man. Like jewels, they are a treasure from above and beyond.
