handmade resin cabochons

I've decided to wait until the new year before I change the name of Secret Jewellery on GroovyCart to Just K Jewellery - forgot I'd ordered some advertising postcards for christmas - doh!!!

In the meantime I've added this pendant to Secret Jewellery on GroovyCart - even if I say it myself I do think that some of my resin pendants are mini abstract works of art on a necklace...

I've also added some resin cabochons to BEADS on GroovyCart - here's a taster...

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.
