Craftyness # 5 and 6 (and 7?)

I've run out of resin!

I wasn't going to post this batch because technically they're Charissa's batch, but I did phase 1 of the stirring, and it's my resin, so nyah.  I'm not sure what we're going to do with them yet, but it was a fun experiment with glitter.  Some of the pieces, though, have still stayed sticky, even now, which is somewhat bothersome: definitely something we need to iron out for the next batch.


Oh, wait.. the fish tile is all mine:
I think I had grand plans of making hima  bag tag or keyring.  Now, I realise I need to cut straighter.

And here's something I whipped up this week/last week.  The bangle still needs to be sanded/polished, but that'll be done when it's a little cooler:  Apparently resin goes a little soft in this heat - who knew?  I've also got a paperweight pyramid in the same theme curing at the moment; it should be ready on the weekend.  That used up the last of my (resin for the moment).

I actually made the bunny pendant and ring in late Jan, but they were sitting with some of my other resin-bits while they cured and I ovwerlooked them.  The gold ink bled a little, but if you didn't know, it wouldn't be obvious... it gives it more of a hand-crafted look, right?


I want to play around with the bangles some more once my next batch or resin arrives.  I'm envisioning fern fronds, green and bright, wrapped inside the mould.  Hmm...
