and more resin...

I haven't been posting photos of my resin experiments as it must get pretty boring but I thought I'd share just a few of my latest creations

this pendant has four different resin cubes embedded in black resin

I made a mold from a flower that had originally been on a hair slide that I found in a bin of sale items - I've now got a few different coloured resin flowers

This pendant was a mistake, I added the black resin in the middle too soon & it spread too much but I really like the result

A LITTLE BIT ABOUT ME...

I started making jewellery for myself a few years ago and soon became totally addicted. I borrowed books from the library and bought lots too.

I discovered resin after going on a silver clay workshop in 2007. Whilst I loved making the pure silver jewellery it was adding colour that interested me. I tried enamelling and might have pursued that direction if I hadn't discovered you could use coloured resin instead of enamel to achieve the effect I was looking for.

Then I bought a book about resin jewellery and as soon as it arrived I knew this was what I wanted to do. I struggled in the early days as there were virtually no supplies or moulds available in the UK. Everything was trial and error - and there were lots of errors. Luckily today both the resin and moulds are more easy to source in the UK.

Since the early days I have developed my techniques and skills. I'm constantly experimenting - "what will this look like in resin" - or making my own moulds from items I find.
