I’ve been working in resin again and this last round has me thrilled. So thrilled in fact that I’ve finally updated my Etsy store to share some of these beauties.
Ever since I started working in resin I’ve been obsessed with the idea of preserving beautiful, natural elements to wear. In particular, the magic of autumn in Ontario is something I’ve always found inspiring. The idea that this transitory beauty could be preserved in a unique piece of jewellery was very appealing to me, and is what kick started my journey into working with resins. It’s taken a pretty long time to perfect my technique but I think I’m finally there :)
Some of them are simply flower petals preserved. Some of them took lots of squinting and composing using exacto knives and tweezers ;) I do a double pour; once to seal my composition, once to give it a nice finish.
The one above contains a maple leave and a sprig of queen Anne’s lace.
If you like what you see head on over to my Etsy page to check out the rest :)
Nice seasonal pendant… subtle does goes a long way
Hello, can you tell me where I can learn how to do resin? I am wanting to do this to some medieval coins if it won’t damage them (I want to see both sides). Thank you!!!
Lovely, I tried to use another product to preserve a flower onto a scrabble piece but it lost it’s color once the glue dried. I used Mod podge dimensional magic. I was so disappointed. To you prepare the plant before using the resin, and is it pre dried. I used a pressed flower that I loved the color.
thanks.
Hi there
it seems to be a different sweet point with different types of flowers – I always have to try a few before I find the right amount of drying time! But yes, I do press them first, and I use Ice Resin instead of mod podge. Hope that helps!
I would love to have the bezel that is the oblong pendant to do something(if i can learn)for my mom.Would you share where you bought it?Love the leaves.
Hi Pat – are you thinking of the wide, rectangular pendant? If so that’s easy – I actually found that one at Michael’s! Good luck making something for your mom – resin is very rewarding to work with once you get the hang of it.
Best,
Shireen
