day-lab closed!

.



The past few months have been crazy hectic. Actually, this whole past year has just been crazy, period. Trying to run day-lab as it was before the robbery of December 2009 hasn't been working out so well, and I've been struggling to keep day-lab above water and from sinking completely. It's been a really tough year. During the holidays, and a couple months before, I've been busy..started a new job with a local photographer, have been out of town, got married, have been working on a new photo business, and have been trying to not let day-lab get completely backed-up (or sink) in the process...but it did anyway.

I've decided to close day-lab.com for good.

You can purchase our closeout stock at wholesale and deeply discounted retail prices. Please visit: http://www.pearlandgray.com

Thank you!!!!

Reverse Carvings

A little costume jewelry history: A fantastic technique applied to Lucite (a polyacrylic discovered by DuPont in 1931) was called Reversed Carving. People produces these pieces at home via Hobby Kits, but they were also professionally produced by jewelry companies.

It was quite popular between the 1930s and early 1960s. It was most popular in the 50s. The clear Lucite jewelry pieces were carved intricately from the back side and were then often brushed with a white paint inside the carved areas to create highlights. You end up with an amazing one of kind piece with a neat 3-D effect.

This is a scan of an article from a 1947 issue of The Home Craftsman which explains the procedure of Reverse Carving:


Reverse Carving is one of my favorite techniques found in costume jewelry of this era.
.

I just updated day-lab.com with a handful of dead-stock Reverse Carved Lucite pendant necklaces:
