Today I polished off more of the tulips I preserved a few weeks ago -and used the left over resin to make something cute for myself :)

Too often I only keep a piece for myself if it’s damaged somehow. Today I decided to treat myself by creating the ultimate Shireen piece! Of course it had to be turquoise, with antique copper and lots of filigree. I ended up cutting a piece of cloth for the background and I adore the results. You can see from my previous attempts to make myself something that I’m very predictable  in my personal tastes ;) If you guys like this look, let me know! I’m happy to make more :)

I decided to add in 2 pendants this time, one in silver and one in antique copper with hand-molded filigree for a more romantic feeling.

I also went with a different shape in rings this time. I have very small hands, so the square and round rings look a bit large on me. This design is much more streamlined and suites a wider variety of hand shapes.

Each piece of one of a kind – preserved using a technique that literally took me years and many failed attempts to perfect. You should see the piles of fail that still litter my old jewellery stashes, I keep them to remind myself of how far I’ve come with resin treatments.

    I just love the piece that you made for yourself! I don’t know you personally but from what I’ve read here, I think that piece is soooo you! Stay inspired!

    I am madly in love with the ring you made for yourself. MADLY, I say! Do you make your own ring blanks/bezels or buy them? Would you share your supplier or consider selling me some empties? I love the wider band & deeper bezel. And while I’ve worked with resin for a while now, I never thought of preserved flowers/leaves… I’m so glad I found you- my brain is on fire. There’s a birchbark composition that just found an outlet. :) Feel free to email me offlist, but I’m a new follower. I adore your work!

      Haha, birch bark would be awesome! I make lots of my bezels by buying the ring and the back separately, and I shop at beadfx for all the others. Hope that helps!
