I have been busy. I am also loving every second of the experimenting, shooting, writing and innovating that I’ve done for Resin Jewelry, 2nd Edition. Every time I think I’m done, more inspiration comes my way. Clearly, the muse is working overtime. Resin Jewelry, 2nd Edition will be released September 15 and is now available…
