sweetie resin cabochons

all the hot cross buns have now been eaten - and very yummy they were too!

I've just listed these polo mint and love heart resin cabochons in my Sweet Shop Beads shop on GroovyCart. By listing in this shop I don't have any listing fees and can therefore sell them for slighly less than I would charge in Karen's Beads on MISI. If they don't sell fairly quickly here then I will move them across to Karen's Beads.

resin cabochons

here's the batch of resin cabochons

They are all different - stripes, kitsch with candy cake sprinkle, seed beads, swirls of colour...

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.
