My wonderfully observant wife noted that one of the little cutting boards was missing. I explained that it went forth and multiplied - upcycled - and begot some blingful offspring. I make no special claims about these, but they may help ward off evil.
Steps:
Make paint from mica powder + Golden brand GAC 100 acrylic polymer.
Paint the abstracts with tiny brushes inside a stainless steel bezel under high magnification, onlay some dichroic film, then dome with Art Resin brand epoxy - let cure for a week under a plastic cup (to keep out dust).
Make a kite shaped template and cut out the shapes with a scroll saw - sand the edges.
Lathe-mount the shape on a waste block with double stick carpet tape, then drill with a Forstner bit - some were a bit off center, but some of my dearest friends are a bit off center these days.
Epoxy the bezeled abstract in place, epoxy the slide to the back, add the braided leather cord and copper tips; wear and ward off evil.
Steps:
Some close ups:
Warm regards to all - stay safe, upcycle at every turn, and have fun - Bob
