Many jewelry makers love working with cabochons. You could bezel them with beads or wire wrap them. Or glue them onto metal bezels if the sizes fit.
There are some gorgeous gemstone ones as well as those made from clay. But have you considered photo glass cabochons? The designs can be very colourful indeed.
They are made by punching out photo images and gluing them to the backs of glass cabochons. Not much of an artist or photographer? You can purchase pre-designed circle images from various artists.
Do check out my links at the end for past posts for resin tutorials. Clear resin has the look of glass but is much lighter.
Shown above are the brightly coloured lady face photo art cabochons from DonutsHole.
I love how DonutsHole provided lovely variations of peacock feathers for their photo glass cabochons.
I couldn't resist adding this cat photo glass cabochon collection from DIYJewelryWholesale.
Van Gogh's art is always popular! These Van Gogh cabochons, shown below, are from Handlry.

ReplyDeleteThe truth is, that even if I can make a component outside my usual craft, I'd rather purchase it ready made. We know the time and investment that goes into a craft.
