Resin

I found using resin to be very satisfying, and have had a lot of fun experimenting with setting various things in to it, as you can see below!

The above brooches were made for a hen party, with pictures of the bride inside, which has made me hanker for a set of brooches with old pictures of my family inside.  A jewellery version of the family scrapbook.

My other favourite thing to set in to resin, aside from images, is little bows and beads.  Which always look different once immersed.

Full contact

This is the fruit of my Easter Sunday labour.  Photo of me (and Kitchen) by Esther!


The pattern for this 'Full Contact Cooking Apron' came from the great book 'Seams to Me' by Anna Maria Horner.  The final instruction was 'make vanilla cupcakes'....I have yet to comply.
