Take Three...

I had done a test piece using this fabric in resin and it turned out fine, but when I used them for the earrings, many bubbles appeared. I think it might have been a glue I used to secure a the cardboard backing the the underlying layer of resin (which I did not use in my original test piece) but what ever it was, it's no good, the bubbles must go!

Once I have managed to remove all this gunk, I will attempt to fill these earrings with resin for the third time! (Every time that I have tried so far, something new and different has gone wrong.) I really do hope this next time I'll be a winner and that I will be able to to upload some successful resin pictures soon! :)

Exhibition in Abu Dhabi

I received an email from Sue at Artisan Gallery saying that she will be sending some work to an exhibition in Abu Dhabi, if anyone is interested in participating. It seems like a fun thing to do, so I have added yet another item to the ever increasing list of things I need to do in the ever decreasing amount of time between now and the 10th of March. (That being the day when I will be boarding a plane headed for London to share in the celebrations of my brother's wedding!)


A few of the new (not yet finished) earrings that I am working on at the moment. These earrings still need to be cleaned and oxidized, then brushed up and tumbled. They will look much more attractive once completed :)

The two pairs on the right hand side are actually the same pair-I have just turned the pods around. I am all for multi-purpose or reversible goodies so the pods will come on a pair of ear wires that will allow the wearer to turn them around if desired. One day smooth and concave, convex and textured the next.
