Making Picture Pendants - Super Glue

I have used Super Glue, in one fashion or another, since I started making picture pendants and earrings. It is a pain in the butt to use. I finally started using Loctite's Super Glue Gel to reduce the "getting it all over the place" syndrome. It is thicker and comes out slower. Well, except at the very first, then it shoots out of there like water out of a fountain. After the first couple of tries, it settles down and comes out at a decent rate.

Someday, I hope to find a glue that goes on evenly, doesn't frost as it dries, and only sticks to jewelry pieces instead of everything else. Ah, the search continues.

Looking for pendant dishes

I create pictures digitally. I love doing this. Best job in the world, bar none. But how to turn them into jewelry without spending a ton of money or a ton of time is a challenge. I tried the polymer clay route. With many different versions of transfers. I liked Fimo the best. Well, that is before they changed the recipe. After that, I couldn't get anything to work right. So I moved on.

I tried putting the pictures on wood. Eh.

Then I tried creating my own bezel (pendant dish, pendant blank, some place to put a picture on jewelry) and having it manufactured. It was an interesting process. I was tired of it when I was done. But now I think I have found a good combination. Pretty, fairly lightweight, affordable, and did I mention, pretty. How long I will stick with this type of picture jewelry I do not know. But I really like the product this time, soo.....
