I Love My Melt Pot...

Hi folks...have I told you lately that I love my Melt Pot...I haven't really had time to have a proper play with it until now and crikey it's so addictive...once I started I didn't want to stop...well and truly lost in my own little world of UTEE and just for the fun of it experimenting with lots of different stuff that has been hibernating in the cubbyhole for years...remember Bedazzles...those little blighters that flew everywhere the minute you tipped them from the pot...Perfect Pearls...I must have every colour of the rainbow and not forgetting the stock of Frantage goodies.
So here's what I made with Texture Treads...a cookie cutter and those gorgeous Vintage Trinkets I couldn't resist at The NEC from the lovely Brenda and David at Craft Obsessions...
this has to be my favourite...
then confident that I've got the hang of this...I moved it up to notch using Spellbinders Media Mixage Bezels
I have to say that I thought the bezels were a tad pricey for 3 metal items in a pack until I realised you can use the bezel as a mould...the shape will pop out once the UTEE has cooled and you can make as many as the fancy takes you....cool huh!!
but a little word of warning...the jump rings top and bottom seem to be quite fragile so handle them with care...as you can see I managed to dislodge the bottom one but maybe I'm just a clumsy clogs. And as much as I would love to continue my Melt Pot journey...I've just been summoned back on the chain gang so I'll see you all tomorrow to share another of my "off on a tangent" adventures. Why don't you pop over to the Craftwork Cards Blog for Day 5 of Beautiful  Bunting Inspiration from my teamie Jo...leave a comment and you could be the lucky winner of a Bunting Kit.
