As requested the resin creations!

So, my original plan was to make a pendant that could be worn. I soon realized that if I wanted the entire leaf I would need to make it a lot larger than a pendant. I started with the larger leaf. When the project dried I just looked at it and thought "well, now what" but the more I held it, and thought about it, I started to think it looked like something else! A coaster!! So I decided to try it with the decorative grass, I wanted to see if it would all stay puffy and sure enough it did! My daughter brought me in a bunch of leaves and flowers to try as well. She calls the one on the left my "rainbow" leaf! I think the whole coaster idea is pretty cool. I now know I can take live plants and forever save them in resin! I am excited! I think I am going to make my father in law a set for Christmas using parts from beer cans!! I figured he can use them in his ice fishing shack this winter! If anyone is interested in anything like this let me know!

The resin project!

The final product of all my hard work! This project has been driving me crazy for the last 2 weeks! It is a custom order for a co-worker and I wanted it to be perfect! I am so happy I got it done in time and I really hope she loves it!

Using resin for the first time!

Yesterday what my first time using resin! I have a client who wants to give her sisters name pendants for their birthdays. The pendants that I had originally purchased were not working for the necklace. I didn't have time to custom order anything because this order is due on Friday. So I went to the store, bought the resin, the catalyst and 2 silver empty pendant holders. I printed out the names in script, added wire and silver details and poured the resin! I am happy to say I made it out with no burns or body parts stuck together!! I am still letting the pendants dry and I will post pictures of them soon! This opens up so many more doors to my jewelry making! I am thinking of casting a red fall leaf as a pendant...I think it would be beautiful!
