My love and hate relationship with resin.

My love and hate relationship with resin.

I really want to make resin pendants. REALLY BAD... but I found out it's tough to make pendants and I don't have the patience. But, I'm going to try and try again until I get it right.

I've made 4 or 5 that haven't turned out and I've given up for awhile. I thought the one of my husband in his silly b-day hat would turn out, but I must have put a bit more resin the hardner in the mix, because it never fully cured and is sticky. What a great pendant that would have made.

That resin on the chickadee leaked under the paper, and the squirrel had tiny bubbles embedded far below the surface.

I'll get it one of these days. Can't wait!

Thanks.

Thanks.

Yesterday I received my first thank you card (in the mail) for one of my pendants. I couldn't believe it! It really made my day. I love to receive feedback and I love when others enjoy my artwork and jewelry, but I've never received a tangible object like this. It was so nice. :)
Oh, and it was from an artist... who paints with acrylics... on canvas. (Amazing looking pieces... ) I was so flattered she liked my work.
