“What About Me??” by Susan Chong

With the theme for this October challenge in my mind I woke up one morning and thought about trying to make something with UTEE. I also was thinking that I have never made anything for myself. I always make projects for other people. Therefore, my project this month is a Monogram UTEE pin for ME!

Pounce Gold Alcohol Ink Metallic Mixative on the back of a Mahjong Tile with a piece of felt. Allow to dry. Stamp the letter “S” (Ma Vinci’s Reliquary) onto the tile with Purple Mica Magic Ink. Set the ink with a heat tool. Edge the tile with a generous portion of Green Mica Magic Ink. Again, heat set the ink. Edge the cooled tile with a Krylon Gold Leafing Pen. Allow to dry.

Melt Black UTEE and Flex in a Melting Pot according to the instructions (http://www.schmoozewithsuze.com). Pour a puddle of UTEE over a craft sheet. Allow to cool slightly. While still warm, cut the sheet of UTEE into various shapes. Allow to cool completely.

Choose one of the cut UTEE pieces. (This project piece is approximately 2 x 3 inches) Using a heat tool, re-melt the center of the UTEE piece. (It is OK if the edges start to re-melt and change shape slightly.) Very quickly place the Mahjong tile into the melted UTEE and press very firmly. After the UTEE has cooled completely, pop the tile off of the UTEE.

Pounce Currant and Pesto Alcohol Inks over the UTEE piece with a piece of felt.. Immediately pounce Gold Alcohol Ink Metallic Mixative over the other 2 colors. Work with the inks until you achieve the look you desire. Allow to dry.

Glue the Monogram Mahjong tile onto the UTEE piece (in the mold you created earlier) using Zap-A-Gap glue. Attach Confetti Festival Sparklerz (Art Accentz by Provocraft) to the UTEE with Zap-A-Gap glue. Finally, attach a pin back to the piece with Zap-A-Gap glue.
