Two for One - Trust Your Heart


I'm late these entries but decided to post them anyway.  I'm participating in two challenges - Sally Russick's Focus on Life and TracyStatler's Wellness Words Jewelry Challenge.  Weeks 4 and 5 of the Focus on Life Challenge was take photos with the themes "Create" and "Capture our Hearts".  Tracy’s challenge was to create a piece of jewelry with an inspirational or wellness word.  So, to combine all three challenges I chose to "create" a piece of jewelry with a "heart" and an "inspirational word".  The word I chose was “trust”.  Reflecting on these three challenges I designed and created a pendant I call "Trust your Heart". 

The pendant is made from polymer clay, scrapbook pieces and parts and black rubber cord.  I filled the scrapbook frame with red polymer clay, stamped the word “trust” in the clay and added a coordinating jump ring as a bail.  Once the clay was cured and cooled, I applied black acrylic paint to highlight the stamped word.  Then I glued the silver heart to the frame, did some light buffing to give the red clay a glow and added the rubber cord.  This necklace is a gift for my daughter Emily for Valentine’s Day.  Happy Valentine's Day Emily -- trust your heart.  Love, Mom.  See the links below the picture for the other participants in Tracy Statler's Wellness Word Jewelry Challenge.

    1. Thank you for your comment. I only wish that I had planned to be efficient versus just getting so behind I had to do triple duty to catch up. :) Thanks for reading the blog.
