Yet another first

I just love trying new things.  It seems like I am always doing "something" for the first time.  Here is a picture of my first altered scrabble tile pendants. 

I started by creating a small collage on my tiles.  In these, I used napkins and postage stamps.  I intended for these to be finished at this point, so I added foil tape around the edges.  I experimented with folding the extra foil on both the front and the back of the pendant. After completing this experiment, I prefer the cleaner look of folding the extra on the back side. 

The bail was then added to the back. I had some trouble finding them, but Hobby Lobby proved to be the spot.  I purchased two types, one found in the bead area, and another type found with the glass bead making supplies.  I prefer the later, however they are a bit more expensive.

These pendants were then sealed with Glossy Accents.  I did not get a very good finish with my first coat of Glossy Accents.  I think this was user error and lack of experience.  Due to my poor application, I decided to add a second layer.  When I was adding the additional Glossy Accents, I remembered that I had just received an order of watch parts.  I added them last minute, and I love the way they turned out!
