Everybody uses this little glas nuggets to make cool decorational stuff. I love them (and it is years ago sinced I made my own ones)! So I was infected again and I made some with writings. I found some clear and light blue glas nuggets (I found more but the rest was not transparent enough to see something through the glas).
I just put the glas nuggets on a printed script, marked the shape around the glas nuggets, cut the paper piece out and glued it under the nugget (I used a transparent gemstone glue pen which was really cheap ^^). Afterwards I added a layer of white acrylic paint and that was it.
I love this magnifying glass effect especially on this non readable old script ^^
Beside the old script I printed some writings in a bigger size and searched for some word I liked in it to put them in the center and therefore "magnify" them. The basic (if you are curious) is Goethes "Faust II" in german.
Phöbus´ Räder - Phoebus´ wheels
Mondes - of the moon
Stern an (Stern) - Star at (star)
Funken - spark
I think the little flaws in the glas make a special effect :)
Together with some more :)
Dämmerung - dwan / twilight
Erdgeboren - earth born (earthlings in the english translation I found)
Elfen - Elves
The can be put on magnets, on card, on gifts or collages... or just be used as they are. I like to make some with a special meaning for other persons.
Lovely. These would make cool poetry magnets. Thanks for linking up to Sunday Art Therapy at Seeds on a Breeze.

AntwortenLöschenvery pretty aren't they! i love these too but have never made them :(
AntwortenLöschenI love these and have always wanted to make some. I am in need of some nice refrigerator magnets and I think this idea would work well.
AntwortenLöschenSweet place you have here :)
Kindly, ldh
Thank you all :)
AntwortenLöschenI can't belive how easy they are to make. I think they would also be cool to be integrated in a mosaic...
(but now I run out of suitable glas nuggets ^^)

AntwortenLöschenThank you for coming back to A Crafty Soiree! I like how some are blue, normally I only see clear pebbles, fun! I also really like the writing and how it seems to be magnified under the pebbles. See you next week!
