Read More » Resin, Revisited and Gloriously Glittery Goodies!
The other week I got contacted by a pair of lovely ladies who were eager for me to check out their glitter range.
Pfft, I thought, glitter is glitter, right? Wrong. Why? Well, to explain that I just had to ‘force myself’ to revisit resin and spend some time experimenting.
Fancy seeing what I made?

Faux Enameled Pin Brooch
A wee while ago I was having a little fiddle in the craft room and created something that I was quite proud of.
When you’ve stopped giggling, perhaps I could show you what I created?
Rollin’, Rollin’, Rollin’

A Beaded Star, Or Two
I was perusing the shelves of my local Colemans stationary shop the other day (looking for a quickie glue pen) and I stumbled across some little wire frames onto which beads could be threaded.
They naturally fell into my basket … now where have I heard that before?

For a long time now I have wanted to have a go at making my own glass beads. Well, recently I bit the bullet, lit the flame and got stuck in. To say that I am hooked is a definite understatement.
Here is a quick look at the tools that I used, the process that I went through and the results that I achieved.
Wire Wrapped Jewellery – Easier Than It Looks?
Having made several attempts at wire wrapping in recent times I have to confess that it took me a while to get the hang of it. The events that I write about in this post were in fact my third attempt at this technique. You might say, ‘Well, you’ve just answered your own question there […]
