black & white toile resin jewellery

I found some pretty black & white toile and made a selection of resin pieces a while ago.  As usual with me they went into the "made" pot while I moved on to my next idea - does anyone else do this?
I found them the other day when rooting through the pot looking for something else and decided to make them up into some jewellery.

there's a pretty heart pendant, a pair of little earrings and two rings

I've listed them for sale in my GroovyCart shop

a very messy workroom

I've just been reading a thread on the FOLKSY forum about messy workrooms and decided to embarass myself into having a clear up...
this is my resin table - I'm amazed I manage to make anything!

and I thought having shelves would help me be tidy - lol!

It's actually much worse than this in real life coz it's only a small room - and I've got just enough room in the middle of the chaos for my chair

resin animal hair clips

two blog posts in one day - now I need to go and lie down in  a darkened room.....
I had listed these little resin animals in my BEADS shop on GroovyCart.  Then I found some more hair clips with flat pads (thought I'd sold them all as destash in Karen'sBeads on MISI) so decided to make them up into hair clips.

Pictures could be better - that'll teach me to do something in a rush - I'll retake the photographs tomorrow.  I've listed all the hairclips in JKJ on GroovyCart

what's black and white and read all over...

these earrings.....

I've embedded newsprint from a ladies glossy magazine in the resin hoops - this was the 2nd attempt as rogue air bubbles got trapped under the paper the first time.  I've listed them in my MISI store

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.

hot X buns and little resin animal cabochons

I decided to make my own hot X buns this year as the ones you buy from the supermarket don't really taste of anything.  Rather a rash decision but I bought the ingredients at the weekend meaning to make them earlier this week & freeze them.  Did I?  of course not - so had to make them today.  Takes forever but eventually got there.  I haven't made hot X buns since I was a teenager ???? years ago.
A rather mixed batch of sizes and shapes - the ones around the edge are somewhat scorched - but they tasted OK.  I debated whether to post a piccie as my baking tray has seen better days.  Now that I've got the strong flour & tin of dried yeast I might even be tempted to have a go at some bread!

Back to resin - I've embedded some more of my little resin animals in clear resin cabochons and made them into cufflinks and rings.
