    A New Week, A New Free Project

    It may be nearing the end of March, but it's the start of a new week, and that means a new free project! While this week's project doesn't feature the use of personal imagery, in her book, Semiprecious Salvage, author Stephanie Lee does have a few projects that sport her own personal imagery and I know she'd love to see how you incorporate your own images into handmade jewelry.

    The project you see here was completed using an image I took of my frosty front yard, after an ice storm moved through the Ohio Valley. It's hard to tell from this photo, but I printed my image onto shrink plastic, then encased it in a little plexi box. So as you can see, incorporating personal imagery can go well beyond scrap booking or collage and can also be done with jewelry.The possibilities are endless!

    What a great project! I love the punch of color on the black-and-white background. :)

    I like the project; it can also lend itself to creating personalized Christmas tree ornaments as presents. Where can we find plexi-glass containers such as yours?
    Also, if I may suggest, in future posts I would like to see links to the contributing artists' blogs posted, when they exist. Visiting the blogs of artists is how I acquire knowledge and find endless inspiration.
    Thank you, and warm wishes.
