and these are what the backs look like
Hi,
The lovely Linda from Studio L3 has directed us to Fragment Charms.
This is what I did: Chose 2 Fragments then went to Page 64 of Compendium of Curiosities and said the magic words 'Abracadabra' and this is the result..........Well not quite.....I used Crafty Individuals pictures and backed them both with Aluminium Tape, rolled the herringbone wheel over them and rubbed in Metallic Creams, the rest you can see, a bit of stamping and a cut out picture, last of all I sealed the backs with multi medium matte.
One of them is going to be turned into a Pendant Necklace and the other is going on a Wedding Card I have yet to make. They are so difficult to photograph because of the shiny veneer, but have tried my best to get a clearish picture. Some of the reflections make them look a bit lumpy but honestly, cross my heart they are not.........
There are some totally amazing creations submitted at Studio L3 so please go and have a look, just brilliant.
Thank you for popping in and supporting my efforts. Take care, Annette x

Hi Netty,
Me again. Thanks for your sweet offer lol (I know it was a joke). It's my birthday on the 21st (yep, I'm an October girl too), so there's a good chance I'll get it:o)
They are gorgeous think the top pair are my favorites xx Zoe
your charms are so beautiful - I particularly like the one with the orangey background. I'm going to have to get myself some of those fragment things and have a go myself.
Have a good weekend

Your fragments are gorgeous Netty, love the images you have used and what a great idea using one as a wedding charm. Have a good evening, Tracy Evans x
Great charms, I guess I'm going to have to spring for that book after seeing what you've come up with.
Netty, these are fabulous!!! The backs are as lovely as the fronts, and that's really saying something because the fronts are wonderful! LOVE those Crafty Individuals photos-- the expressions are priceless. You so clever to use the foil tape and embossed metallics on the backs.
The happy couple is going to love the wedding card you make, and I can't wait to see your necklace!
Oh these are gorgeous, and the colours are beautiful. Well done you!

Hi Netty,,,these are gorgeous charms that you created. Thanks for coming by my blog...yes, those are my paintings on the sidebar...I have a lot more where they came from:) eventually I will make a second blog just for watercolor and acrylic...after Xmas I suppose. Wishing you a great Monday!!
Love your charms Annette! Wonderful pictures to have used.
Hi Netty, thanks for visiting and commenting on the watercolor. My WC teacher had a couple of hair dryers in the classroom for us to dry layers before going on to the next one.
I think I've commented on these fab pieces, but I want you to know I have put Tim's book on my Christmas wish list for my dh to get me.
Brilliant Netty, love the image and how you finished the backs!
Oh, Netty! I love these! I think they might be my favorite example of this week's technique!

Hi Annette
Here at last.
It is taking some time to catch up with blogland. Everyone has been so very busy in my absence.
You have created some gorgeous pieces. I don't know where you get all your ideas from - but they are always fantastic.
Love the charms you have made and the piece where "a cat can look at a Queen". Brill!!
Have a good day.
Love Jules xx
Love all your makes. These fragments are amazing and I love what you did with the Paperbag studios tree stamp further down your blog. Thanks for joining us this week at SCD.
These are So pretty!
Gorgeous charms!
These are amazing, Netty!
