Red Hot Flower for Ornament Thursday...
It's Ornament Thursday! This month's theme is Red Hot. I've never been much of a red hot candy fan. My grandma always likes to stick a few on the valentine cookies---they look great, I just don't want to take any of those home ;-) LOL. Red hot. Today I was annealing some metal to a red hot---I didn't mean too, but I just sort of spaced out. A Hot Red is one of my favorite colors. And so my offering for this month is one of which I found in a box last week while looking for my old club wear pans in storage (also a red color). It is a plexi flower with speaker cover and sterling riveted to the center (circa 2005). You can buy plexi glass/plastic from plastic fabrication type places---they usually have some great scraps to pick through. I use a jeweler's saw to saw it out and then sand it with water and wet/dry sand paper to polish. The only negative is the plastic kind of stinks when it gets hot from the sawing. But, I do love to saw plastic because it is soooo soft and easy. With clouds over head, I don't believe it's going to be a red hot day here in Indiana.
P.S. Love that black Polyester chain by Beadalon!
Love the red hot flower, Candie! We should have been friends when you were little, I love the red hot candies - you could have picked them off the cookie and gave them to me! (big wide grin)
Happy Ornament Thursday!

I heart enamel jewelry. This is really simple and pretty.

Geez, I'm a goof. The pic looks like enamel but you said it was plastic. Oh well, it still looks pretty, bold, and fun.
