I agree! And I like to have an element of interaction in my mixed media pieces. The collaged back is a secret to you, worn close to your skin. You choose whether to reveal that to others, letting them into your personal space.
Thanks! Faux Bone is a pvc plastic product developed by Robert Dancik. It can be used like bone, but can also be heated and altered - without harmful fumes, etc. (Website is at Fauxbone.com) I love it, its very versatile! And he is a great artist/instructor to work with...
Thanks for sharing the design process. I always enjoy peeking at how other's create. I'm sure it will turn into something beautiful some point down the line.
I really like the piece you created with the cast button! I also like how you showed your process in the design. I can't wait to see more of the process!
The final creation that you came up with for that button is amazing. Such a creative way to use a button. Finishing the pendant by adding the additional collage elements to the back ensures that if the pendant rotates, there is still something pretty to be seen.
I think you've got some great ideas there. I love the 'faux' bone. What is it made of? I think it sets that piece off quite well. And I live the button with the bezel. Very nice.
You might not have finished everything, but I love what you have done so far! I had difficulty completing the challenge, myself-- it wasn't until I remembered that I had wanted to make a stitch marker for myself that I knew what I was going to do :)
Thanks for sharing your work and your process with all of us <3
Kristi - you are too kind! I would love to do a book someday, but mixed media is so dependand on the materials, whatever you may find with no set parameters - I havent been able to figure out an approach yet. But thanks!
Thanks - posting the process pix etc is my modus operandi for these hops. When we all have had a similar starting point, I am really intrigued as to the journey undertaken. Glad you enjoyed a glimpse into my head!
Wow, love your creativity and the designs you came up with!! What great unique ways to use the buttons! I think you need to write a button book! :) Beautiful!

I completely understand getting pressed for time and the trials of getting just what you want out of a piece. Thank you so much for at least sharing with us the process you are going through and what point you have reached. I look forward to seeing your creations when you get the time to complete them!!
Jenny, finished or not, in this case the journey is the best part! I love seeing you walk through the process with these buttons, and will continue to check in, to see where they end up. The Goddess piece is just amazing...
Erin - I appreciate that. I got a creative boost when you called me a risk taker. I am willing to do whatever needs to be done for the piece, and I am glad it is being well recieved by my peers! Thank you!
Thanks Michelle - more and more these days the pieces I am doing are in depth explorations, with content and layers of meaning and symbolism. Its nice to have the blog to share that backstory with people. (Even nicer to have comments! ;-D)
I find it pretty cool to step back and see my wearable art come in line with my mixed media sculpture...
Hey Miss Jenny! I like seeing the way your creative mind works, so I don't mind at all a work in progress (WIP). I think you are a risk taker in your creative endeavors and it is important to know that artists go through revisions and trial and error. I see where you are going and I like what I am seeing! Enjoy the day. Erin
I enjoyed seeing all the techniques and mediums you used to make this fabulous piece. Thanks for sharing the process with us. I know whatever you make with this will be a great piece.
Wow - this is so cool!! I love the meaning behind it all and how you tell of the owl, the goddess, crone, etc. - makes it even more special. You really put a lot of work into this and it shows. It's beautiful and I can't wait until you finish w/everything and post it all!

I love the different frames you made for your buttons. You have some great ideas going.

Love where you are headed..and I cant wait to see how you decide to finish it!!Cat
I was so sure the plan would work! Then when I had to start over I had no time left. Perhaps procrastination is the mother of invention!

Thanks Holly - do you see it too. I cant not see the figure. Sandi said she would send me a pix of the original...
Isnt the journey half the fun? Or more? Thanks for coming over...

I really love what you did with those buttons!! I have really loved seeing what all the participants have made!!
Not many people have put their thoughts and process in the post, that was a very interesting read. Love the end results for sure!!
