Our friend Erin Prais-Hintz, of
Tesori Trovati Jewelry recently posted a couple of projects on her blog inspired by our DecoEmboss Dies. She took our 2-Day workshop back in September and has been having fun with her
Vintaj BIGkick Machine since. Check out these amazing projects in more detail on her blog ~
Treasures Found
Meet Me at the Bazzar
Necklace designed by Erin Prais-Hintz, inspired by handmade polymer clay beads from Cynthia Tinapple.
Erin used a disc cutter to add a large hole to one end of an Arte Metal
Rounded 2 Hole Plate, which easily turned this component into a unique clasp. To add a decorative pattern to its surface, she ran the plate through the BIGkick with our
Deco Motif DecoEmboss Die. Once she used the
Metal Reliefing Block, the designed popped! I love the beautiful silver/gunmetal highlights against the dark background and surrounded by the bright beads.

Erin taught 41 girl scouts how to make jewelry… here’s a sampling of what they made with Vintaj blanks!

Happy Designing!
Wonderful Designs! Tesori Trovati makes beautiful Jewelry! everyone did a wonderful job with the blanks!
Thanks Jess! It was a lot of fun to teach the 41 girls…in hindsight!
They were so excited to make this piece of blank metal come to life and they did an excellent job. I am so glad I remembered thos arte metal pieces when I was creating that necklace. The subtle color and textured was the perfect complement to those out of this world beads from Miss Cynthia! Thank you for the shout out today!
Enjoy the day.

I saw her blog yesterday with those wonderful glittery, collage pendants!
I immediately sent the link to my daughter. She told me latter that she was looking at the same blog post and had started to send the link to me when she realized I had just sent it to her! Great minds think alike!
I have put the Bigkick on my Christmas wish list.
wow! I don’t know how old these girls were but these look very professional . . . great job
I am about ready to pass out from the inspiration and I’m stuck here at work. So very, very cool!
Erin is amazing. Her talent and patience to pull this off are to be commended. The Meet me at the bazaar is fun and festive. Beautiful!
Wish I could be among Erin’s students too. Nice creations!
did want to follow up by saying i DO very much like the embossed (?) metal pieces and the color(s) applied to them. i think they could stand alone except for one simple but equally unique “accessory.”
maybe i’m just jealous because i can’t afford any of this stuff.
gobble-gobble
They are all so very beautiful! Great job ladies!
