Due to the fact that I did not have any bezels lying around I decided to use a lid from a pasta jar. I covered the bottom with a piece of background paper. Any paper would work.
Next I used my Stamper’s Big Brush Markers to colour my chipboard pieces.
Once dry I used a Tim Holtz Script to stamp on the pieces.
Using Helmar 450, I glued pieces of a broken necklace all around the inside of my lid.
I sealed each piece with decoupage glue.
Using the 450 glue I adhered two pieces to the bottom of the lid.
Using my prepared Ice Resin, I poured one layer and allowed to dry overnight.
The next day I added the rest of the embellishments followed by another layer of Ice Resin.
I attached an old necklace to it to make it wearable and painted the outside of the metal lid with Patina paint from Ranger.
Next I want to try Ice Resin without a bezel. Not sure if it’s going to work but I have a laser cut Eiffel Towel just screaming to be worn around my neck and I would like it to stand alone!

Great Idea! I love altered, mixed media jewelry….
Your ingenuity and creativity certainly shine in this project. I would not have thought of using a lid to replace a bezel. And, the more pieces I see from Gina’s Designs, the more I fall in love with them. Thank you for showing us this mixed media jewellery necklace. It is delightfully different. Karen 🙂
How fab! Love that you got creative with your bezel!! Resin is awesome!
What a great idea 🙂
