pocket watch display dome

dad made this display dome to house an old pocket watch he'd found.  We don't know if it was once owned by a family member

it's not for sale, unfortunately, but it's too nice not to show it off!

if you'd like to make this resin heart pendant here's the link to the instructions on Easy Craft Projects

more resin jewellery

I've been making lots of resin pieces recently and have spent the past few days finishing them off and making them up into jewellery.

Taking photos is so time consuming too but I listed some new pieces

These pendants have been listed on GroovyCart  I've embedded rainbow coloured bugle beads in shiny black resin - I love the effect

This pendant has been listed on Folksy along with these two beaded charm bracelets

I've called the pendant "sunset squiggle" - I twisted some wire and and embedded it in red and yellow resin - where the two colours met created this gorgeous sunset

While the resin was curing I had a play with some beads and made the two bracelets

I've also listed these fun cufflinks on MISI and have called them "keys to my......"

tiny keys embedded in black resin - the keys could be to your heart, car, wallet or anything appropriate to your relationship

I've got a screw loose!!! - fun resin cabochon cufflinks

I was looking in the toolbox - saw some of the tiny screws and decided to see what they would look like in resin

I put a drop of resin in each of the small square shape molds and let it cure until it was almost solid.  I put the screws into the molds and then covered them with more clear resin.  Once the resin had completely cured I mixed some more resin but this time added a little bit of metallic brown pigment to give this lovely chocolate brown colour and then filled the molds to the top and left to cure under the lights.  I was really pleased with the result and thought they'd make a fun pair of cufflinks!

I've listed for sale in my MISI store http://jkj.misi.co.uk/

more resin hearts

I made a batch of resin hearts like the ones I've used in the previous post as I was really pleased with how they turned out.  I've kept back some to make into a bracelet but have listed the others in my GroovyCart BEADS shop for others to use in their jewellery making.

I've drilled a hole in the top of these hearts - use large jump rings to attach to your project.  Personally I think they make lovely pendants - but them I would say that wouldn't I!!!

I've got some more to list - different sizes and patterns, like the one above - but they will have to wait until another day when the light is better for photographing.  The pattern was created by adding glass paint to clear resin - I love watching the patterns form in front of my eyes as I have no control over what will happen.  I try to make matching pairs for earrings but they are never identical...
