Steampunk Jewelry

I decided to join a Steampunk Pendant and Charm Swap, which is really out of the box for me.  But I really like the vintage/industrial look of it so I figured it would be fun to give it a try. 

All the images on the tags are from Steampunk Sourcebook.  I printed them on glossy paper and used Distress Inks to add color.  The seam binding for all the tags is colored using Distress Markers and water.  The Paris Decortive Tape is by Cavallini.  The postage washi tape is from my stash.

These are two of my charms:

I used a mold to make the cameo out of polymer
clay and then dusted it with Perfect Pearls.


I added the hardware before I baked the cameo in the
oven.

These are my pendants:
I used Pearl Ex for these pendants.  They were
stronger in color than the Perfect Pearls.
 
To seal the pendants and charms, I used
Lisa Pavelka Magic Gloss.  I put the jewelry in the sun and
in a snap! I sealed them!
Hardly any wait at all.
