Resin Jewelry – Release date and Giveaway!
ByOver the next couple of days I’m going to be sharing some details of the book as I build up to my release date of…Wednesday September 18th! That’s right, as of next Wednesday the book will be available for purchase online, I’m equal parts nervous and thrilled. To celebrate the book launch I will be giving away 2 copies of the book! See details at the bottom of this post on how to enter.
Resin Jewelry covers the gamut on using resin to make totally one-of-a-kind jewelry pieces and keepsakes:
- Methods for preserving material, from flowers and leaves, to photographs and rice paper.
- How to work with resin, including multiple stage pours, dealing with air bubbles and cleaning up mistakes.
- Where to get supplies, including online resources and recommended brands.
- Troubleshooting tips.
- An inspiration gallery of mini-projects with techniques all described in detail.
- Tons of step-by-step photography, tips and tricks to help you get the best results.
The book then goes into 5 projects, designed to take you through growing your skills with increasingly complex pieces. Each day, for the next 5 blog posts, I’m going to feature one of these projects, and show off the possibilities of each technique.
What would you do? Autumn leaf necklaces as Christmas gifts? Photos of your family as pendants? Preserving pieces of your wedding bouquet? To enter the contest, leave comment on this, or one of the next 5 posts about what you would love to do with resin!

I would save my favourite garden flowers for my kids. My oldest specifically. I was given a rose bush shortly after she was born. It is stunning now, 10 years later. I would love to preserve part of that for her so that she will always have that with her.

Wow, first of all thanks for the Giveaway! I think I would definitely go along the i Love Fall line, maybe even I love fall in NY line. I am not a kind of person who shows off pictures of her family and wears them around her neck :) But I do love that bird bracelet you have in a post along with Project 5! Ah! That one is a dream :)

My daughter loves fall leaves so I would love to preserve some for her to hang as sun catchers. I would also like to preserve some of my Mother’s wedding dress (circ. 1955). It was altered for my sister and I have all the lace scraps.

Wild flowers. The ones that people never notice, like the tiny blue and white striped that grew in my driveway in western PA. They are only a few mm across and look like tiny blue and white bumble bees. I’m sure they still grow there…I’m going back to harvest!

this looks gorgeous! I love the idea of the ice cube pendants. Not as common as the see through (which I also adore!) While I agree, spring does make for a lot of flowers to use as focals , I think fall with the fantastic leaves, the beach with its beautiful tiny shells, and really anything that catches the eye that would be small enough to make a lovely pendant, would be great. I’ve been wanting to learn about resin for awhile and these projects look fun!
