Making glass gem pins...
Ah, there's nothing quite like the smell of E-6000* in the morning!This morning I've been making glass pins to wear, to donate to the NFPW Education Fund auction next week, and to sell at Archon next month.
I start with a small image of one of my paintings, apply a glob of glue, then squish the gem into the glob and slide it around until the glue is evenly distributed and the image is centered. The photo shows what it looks like at this stage.
After the glue has had time to cure, I'll trim the edges, glue on the pin back, and then seal the back and edges with a mat varnish.
Alternatively, I could glue a magnet on the back, in which case I'd skip the varnish.

What I've been working on...
A sneak peek at the watercolor mini paintings (ACEO size) I've been working on. I started the sketches while at ConQuest on Memorial Day weekend. I painted on it a little here, a little there, and reached this point during July 4th weekend. I still have a few details to add, and they'll be finished. My two favorites? Middle row left and bottom row center.
