Photo Sea Glass Transfer Necklaces

Here are my original photographs, transferred onto white sea glass, hand picked from the shores of Victoria BC. The process is a bit lengthy. First, I selected the photos to transfer onto the glass. Setting up a contact sheet of smaller images, allows for variety to work with. For the transfer, I used a matt Mod Podge product. First brushing the image with the Podge, then pressing it facedown onto the glass. I let them dry for at least an hour, before taking a damp towel and carefully rubbing off the top layer of paper. At a certain point, it gets easier to just use your finger to roll off the remaining paper. In some cases, I created more rustic and depreciated styles. Then, let the pendants dry for a few hours. About a day later, I sprayed a couple of layers of matt acrylic sealer overtop and let them dry for another day. Once dry, I am able to submerge the pendants under water for drilling to be threaded onto a cotton cord, as seen above. They make beautiful artifact stone like pendants. Chunky, colourful and customized to the liking of the wearer. I managed to do a huge batch of these and they sell at $25.00 CA. Here's one handful of the completed pendant necklaces. I've labeled them "moon stones".
