Domino Pendant

This is a domino pendant I made using alcohol ink from Ranger. The ink was applied using a felt applicator. The sides were painted with a metallic paint pen. Rock Candy by Ranger was placed on top. I really like the effect this had on the pendant. It is protected with a glue sealant. A sterling silver bale was attached.

Copic Certification

I am pleased to announce that I completed my Copic Intermediate certification this weekend! It was taught by the wonderful Colleen Schaan, regional instructor for the Copic Marker company. I am in the process of internalizing all the great information and techniques I learned about light, shadow, and design elements. I won't be posting any Copic art soon because I want to allow myself time to practice. I am also in the process of winding down the school year. Please be patient. I will have some examples by June to share. I am in the middle of finishing up jewelry and card projects so look for those in a few days.

Nikki Nicole Mixed Media Art

Inspired by Hitchcock

I love this Tim Holtz image. When I first saw it, I was instantly reminded of the movie The Birds directed by one of my favs, Alfred Hitchcock. Alcohol ink on glossy cardstock. Image stamped using black archival ink by Ranger.

Encaustic Wax on Card

I love the randomness and freedom of this art form.

Glass Jewelry

I have been having fun creating jewelry, adding this to my one of my inking endeavors. This particular piece is made of sea glass, ultra thick embossing enamel, pearl ex powders, and fantasy film. With this type of jewelry making you never know what you might get as far as coloring. I like the way this one turned out. More jewelry and inking techniques to come!

Art Gift Tags

Are you giving an extra special gift to that certain someone? A new car? House keys? (I think big!) Then why not present it in an art tag that is also a keepsake within itself? These are handmade gift tags with envelopes attached to the backing to hold money, keys, or anything small your heart desires. Most products used are by Ranger and Tim Holtz.
