I haven't explored resin in quite a while, but I really enjoy working with it. Something about
taking the clear resin and mixing it with weird things - like paprika and cumin and pepper and other spices - the smell is unbelievable.And the result can be playful or dramatic or striking.
Ok, true confession time - I actually had begun this piece by enamelling a coper dome. Fired and refired and fired some more - had a nice organic mottled surface, set it in the pendant, and CRACK! Broke it. Soooooo, I thought - aha! Resin.
This looks completely different than it would have if I hadn't broken the enamel - but I really like it. How about you?
Whatdya think?
Its sterling, fine silver, resin.
The chain is all handmade as is the clasp.
I think I rather like it!
Comments, feedback, etc appreciated!

Ok, so when I see the word resin, I go to a naughty place. Ha! My youth.
ReplyDeleteAlthough this piece isn't my style, I like the chain and think the piece will appeal to a lot of others. And hell...anytime you can save a goof it has cred. And I forget how nice an S clasp can be...I made one the other day and wondered why I don't do them more. Nice choice as always.
Very pretty~~I like it. Love the colors. It gives it a very organic look. You've inspired me to try playing with some resin.

ReplyDeleteVery very COOL!!!!
ReplyDeleteIt turned out beautiful. I also love the handmade chain.
ReplyDeleteI've never tried resin...could have used it yesterday, after I broke a stone I was setting. Now all I have is an empty bezel cap and no stone to fit into it. :P

I really like this, Janice!
ReplyDeleteVery pretty! I have a big box of resin and lots of colors. Just haven't broken into it yet. I'd love to experiment.
ReplyDeleteWow, thanks all!! I am overwhelmed by the response this piece has gotten. :) People really seem to like it. That makes me really pleased because I love working with resin - something about it. Fun, quick, easy - and endlessly different. :) Thanks again!
ReplyDeleteIt's wonderful. The resin is so effective, the colours so rich. And the hand-made chain and clasp really set it off. Lovely.
ReplyDeleteI love your handmade chain. That must have taken ages to make because the links are so small. The clasp is lovely too!
