What a great night! Thank you to everyone who came out to watch robi@nite February 10th!  Inspired by some of my vintage jewelery, I featured how to make enamel-look cloisonne.  I am so pleased with the results.

Using silver metal duct tape and various paints, the lovely look of cloisonne can be replicated.

For the live show, I demonstrated how I made the heart.

Supplies used were: Styrofoam heart, metal tape, Cuttlebug embosser,  Love Is In The Air Cuttlebug Embossing Folder, Ranger Adirondack Alcohol Inks, Marvy DecoColor Opaque Paint Markers, Staedtler Triplus fineliners, Pilot Super Color Permanent Ink – Gold, Ranger Glossy Accents.

This is the Embossing Folder I used from the Love Is In The Air set (there were 6 folders in all)

After the show I worked on my demo piece and also found that Bic Sharpies work beautifully as well.

I also shared pieces of my vintage jewelery collection; some pieces dating back to the turn of the 20th century.

Our lucky winner for the night was Zamaluzza – who won a beautiful charm bracelet. Congratulations Zama!!

The theme for next week (February 17) is : Fun In The Sun!

Thank you for stopping by and until we meet again,

Cloisonné is an ancient technique for decorating metalwork objects, in recent centuries using vitreous enamel, and in older periods also inlays of cut gemstones, glass, and other materials. The resulting objects can also be called cloisonné.

I have always loved cloisonné and I am also going to share a few of my favourite pieces from my collection  , including a beautiful necklace and vase.  While on my hunt for that necklace, I came across many vintage pieces of jewelery which I would also like to share with you tonight.  Many pieces are from the 1940’s and a couple are from the 1920’s.  There are rings, bracelets, earrings and brooches.  Perhaps they might inspire you in your art? 

I will have a quick ‘warm up’ demo that I find  very relaxing. During last week’s show I briefly showed you some of my sketches of trees, and more specifically, mountains.  It’s the mountains and their negative shapes that I will focus on.

As always, there will be a giveaway at the end of the show — and tonight, being jewelery-themed, well…. let’s just say it’s theme-related 🙂

So grab your Snuggies, a few of your friends, maybe your sketch pad and pencil, and visit with me tonight!

The show begins at 11:59 pm EST.  That is 9 pm PST, 10 pm MST, and 11 pm CST.

The room will open at 11:30 pm EST for pre-show CHAT, crackers and cheese, and beverages 🙂
