SUMMARY:Faux Bone and Silver Pendant $100
DESCRIPTION:See the Alone Star Jewelry blog for upcoming details and information for supplies and techniques for this class. You’ll be glad you did! \n\n\n\nMultimedia art is nothing but fun to create\, and faux bone puts a little magic into the mix. Cut\, carve\, score\, drill\, file and form it\, then bring a piece to life with color and other accents. Or\, tone down color and explore the material’s quality for creating a primitive look. Less can be more! Faux bone is non-toxic and also tough: the flex shaft rotary tool becomes your friend as does a sharp Xacto knife\, files\, and sandpaper. Fabricate a riveted sterling silver collar with bail (beginner)\, or a sterling cap with bail (intermediate/advanced-see the blog post).  \n\n\n\nOther additions include adding faceted stones or cabochons\, beads\, wire constructions\, mysterious holes and symbols…Ideas for shapes will be supplied via the ASJ blog. Subject matter can be representational as with the owl (see blog post)\, flower\, etc.\, or non-representational as in surface textures\, patterns and colors.  \n\n\n\nAlone Star Jewelry blog: www.alonestarjewelry.com.  \n\n\n\nThe kit for the class will be added to your ticket on the day of class. \n\n\n\nNote: All materials and tools for classes must be purchased at Beadoholique Bead Shop. This allows us to continue providing you with quality classes. \n\n\n\nMaterials to purchase day of class:The shop will provide pickle solution\, tongs\, andLOS for patina\, instructor’s drill press\, and 3 flexshafts are available for use.
