I found these gorgeous wooden bezels at an Etsy store called Art Base. Right from the moment they arrived I was delighted – even the wrapping is lovely, and contains a sweet, handwritten note. It’s the little things. The bezels themselves are a delight to work with – the craftsmanship is amazing, the edges are…

So I’m winding down my Etsy business of selling resin jewellery in favour of teaching people to make their own lovely resin pieces. It was kind of a bitter-sweet decision, but definitely one that I feel good about. One of my last sales was to a girl who had written to me months ago asking about tiger…

I have a lovely customer who has supported my resin work from the very beginning. She is a total stranger – other than the fact that she’s made many purchases from me over the years. When I decided to stop selling resin, I wanted to make something just for her, to show my appreciation for…
