Faux Metal Findings with Shimmerz Enamelz!

Enamelz is so fun to work with!  And with my new toy, a melting pot, it makes it so easy to dip items into the Enamelz.

Think of all the dipping possibilities.  Shimmerz has a great selection of colors in the Enamelz, so check them out in the Shimmerz Shop! 

Hope you enjoy!

Prettifying a purse with shimmerz

The day has finally come where I show you my very first official Shimmerz Ed video.. I was going to a wedding the other weekend, and I just couldn´t find a purse to match my outfit.. I am not usually that picky with these things but I wanted my artsy side to show.. So I went ahead and altered an old handbag in my particular artsy style.. and it was perfect.
