[QUOTE="ATL Kenobi, post: 3708930, member: 3873"] Here’s how I made the brooch (pin) and ring as worn by Umbridge in the Harry Potter movies. [ATTACH=full]1539657[/ATTACH] The brooch first: The brooch was made using 5 parts: a clear glass 34x24mm cabochon with a kitten and rose image glued to the back of it, a slightly modified [URL="http://www.firemountaingems.com/itemdetails/h202261mt"]40x30 brass beaded bezel cup[/URL], a brooch pin, some [URL="http://www.michaels.com/create-your-style-with-swarovski-elements-flat-back-crystals-light-topaz-3-mm/10124161.html#q=%22flat+back%22&start=13"]flat back 3mm topaz “gems”[/URL], and some black tinted casting epoxy. [ATTACH=full]1539658[/ATTACH] Because of the heat involved, the first thing was to solder the pin to the back of the bezel cup. I then placed the cabochon in the middle of the bezel, holding it in place with a small dab of RTV. I then mixed up a small batch of the epoxy and carefully poured it around the cabochon. [ATTACH=full]1539659[/ATTACH] Once the epoxy set, I glued on the gems using very small dabs of a dark adhesive (steel J-B weld). [ATTACH=full]1539660[/ATTACH] The ring is almost done. It's a little more complicated... ATL [/QUOTE]
