My Resin Jewelry

I make scrabble tiles, Dominos, bottlecaps, and pendants that I fill with resin.

Oooo! I like those! The bottlecap is very cool.

I also do bottle caps with photos and such in them but haven't used resin. Where do you buy resin, or do you make it yourself?

Those are quite lovely! I've only used the Castin' Craft casting resin in a rather safe environment (interiors of wood trivets) but it was a lot of fun to work with.

Kinda nerve-wracking worrying about messing up and losing the batch.

I buy Easy Cast. I find it at Hobby Lobby...I don't know if you have those where you are. Or Michaels sells it too...again, don't know if you those. It's awesome to use. But wait the full time and DO NOT touch them until the time is up. 72+ hours for sure!

I have lost quite a few, once lost a whole batch, about 20 pieces, because I didn't measure exactly and the temp in the house was too cold. Live and learn, right?

I want to learn to do this... I never wear jewelry anymore... but maybe it'd give me a reason to

LOVE the owl BTW
