Since I’m traveling in France this month, I thought I’d provide a post on French inspired jewelry techniques. All 5 of these techniques can be altered if you aren’t into All Things French, but this blog post will hopefully get your brain turning. Maybe it will inspire you to do something like; All Things Yoga, All Things Momma, or All Things Foodie. Who knows? Just be inspired and create!!
1. Faux Porcelain with French Imagery.
This technique is a fast and fairly easy way to apply an image and resin into a bezel to achieve this faux porcelain like look. With all of the images of France, it just has to be included into this all things French post!
