Springtime Creations!

Affordable Little Luxuries. We all love having a touch of splendor in our lives. Today we are going to show how to add a touch of luxury to your springtime projects! Sandra Evertson's new release has the perfect pieces for a bit of springtime fun: from butterflies to finches, to imperial eggs and coquille shells! Did someone say eggs? As in Fabergé-style eggs? Oh, yes we did!

Fabergé-Style Eggs:

Easter is right around the corner! What better time to create something that only lives in my fantasies! That of owning a Fabergé egg! Luckily the RELICS & ARTIFACTS® Resin Egg blanks are giving that opportunity to all of us crafty peeps! The chance to create our fantasy, our own Imperial Egg! A lover of all things bling, I couldn't resist adding them to my creation! ~ Kimberly Cochrane

Kimberly's piece is simply magnificent with those beautiful gems and gilded areas. Can you believe she turned a resin blank into a splendorous piece of jewelry?

Debby Anderson presents her take on a Fabergé egg and its no surprise to anyone who know her fabulous work, that this is also an amazing piece of art! Debby's magnificent sculptural work comes from the heart. She gathered an antique vessel to serve as the structural base to nestle the egg. Everything was soldered in one piece and crowned in glory in her signature style! Just take a few minutes to soak in the amazing soldering, the beautiful gem work, and those finishing touches only Debby can imagine, then add to her Imperial Egg!

If you have been a fan of Debby's work, or would love to try out one of her classes, we have the perfect opportunity for you! Prima is hosting an exclusive Art Venture Seaside coming up soon! Debby is one of the three amazing teachers. Check out all details right here for AV Seaside - Coronado Island, April 19 & 20!

Springtime Butterflies:

Switching gears to another of Sandra's new collection pieces: butterflies! Of course nothing says springtime like butterflies! Let's show you just how versatile these sweet babies can be! "As spring approaches I couldn't resist turning my butterfly into a Garden Spring Fairy. I wanted my piece to reflect the subtle colors of the season and I wanted it to hang in my garden to welcome visitors!" ~ Milagros Rivera

"To achieve the textures and veins on my butterfly I used Finnabair's light paste with a stencil and mini and art stones to the fluttering wings. The new art mediums are perfect to accentuate the wings, and the metallique paints capture the shimmer beautifully. I used Jo Packham's new die, from her line "Where Women Cook", with metal to give a lacy undertone to the wings. Here's a video I created to show you my creative process!"

"With a wonderful new RELICS & ARTIFACTS® butterfly as the starting-off spot, I transformed it into a purse. The small crosses from the Relics and Artifacts collection are a pretty little addition for charms to hang from the side."
