Meltpot Art at Ranger U

I couldn't wait to do meltpot art with Suze, as I have been using a meltpot ever since I first saw Suze demonstrating with the first one many years ago.... When they first came out I acquired one from the States, and still use it to this day. I love the fact that you can mould stuff, pour stuff, and create stuff! Being a jeweller it appeals to my sense of 3D, and I often find things to mould using the moldnpour compound. Old jewellery bits are good, and charms are fab!

Suze taught us lots of techniques using the meltpot,with utee, and beeswax, something I shall do more of, and adding lots of glitz as well.

Ranger U had made frames for all of us to put all our finished techniques on, a very inspirational idea I think, and it meant we had them all in one piece and could of course hang them at home! I was a bit concerned mine might be damaged on the journey, but wrapped up well with bubble and lots of American newspaper it made it home in one piece!

Here is the finished piece, some of it I would love to redo, but for the moment it is as it is!

These are just a few of the techniques taught, and I promise I will teach you some of them.

A Happy Easter to all who celebrate. Now, don't go eating all those chocolate eggs at once !
