Resin Course

I had an awesome weekend, let me tell you.

As some of you know i had a bit of trouble with my resin when i first started using it. I was getting a LOT of bubbles and really wasn't happy with my finished products. So this Saturday i went out to Richmond and dis a Resin Jewelry course to see if i was doing something wrong or if i just got a bad batch. 

I came out of the course with a beautiful matching ring and cuff bracelet set. And a not soo beautiful one. hehehheee.

My Success!

      

My Failure!

The successful one came out as a shimmery copper colour. I think it is just stunning. 

The failure. Was ment to be a transparent orange with black wire embedded inside. With others on the day having complications also, we decided the failure was due to a bad batch of resin. Which is a shame because it would have been super cool.

I bought some more supplies whilst there. More colours and I have a heap of ideas to test out. 

I'm going to make some different molds and have a play with colours and embedding and ill see what i can come up with.

I would love you know what you think of the bangle and ring styles in my pictures. The Copper one is a cuff, with a square top ring, the reject is a unusual shape with a ripple around the outside of it, and a square ring which waves in and out.

I'm a Pro

Today is my full day of using my new Macbook Pro and all i can say is - I LOVE IT!!!

His name is Kenny Powers and he is soo beautiful.

Dont get me wrong, i loved Samson (my first macbook) but i got to a point that he just wasnt fast enough or up to what i needed. So i had to upgrade. But im not complaining.

I found out just after deciding to upgrade that if i did it before the end of december, i can claim 50% back on tax because it's a business purchase.... Yeeee!!!

One thing i have learnt since getting my pro is - don't try to wirelessly transfer over 100gb worth of data... It takes a REALLY long time.

Im soo excited to get back to working on my website and hopefully have it back online soon.

Yay for Pro's
