every week or so i hear "mom have you used the resin yet?"
but, having never used the stuff before, i have to think (and rethink) it through...
today i started making some charms.
last week's diet rootbeer bottle caps from john's tex-mex on south ave.
flip them over and there are kiki and napoleon.
champagne cork 'coins'
turn them over and you have miss mango, j&j and a fat robin.
first i punched holes into the sides of the caps with an awl, them using my dremmel filed down the rough edges. then i made sterling silver bales from wire and tucked them thru the holes.
using acrylic molding paste i filled in each cap bottom, thus securing the bale, and plonked the photos in place. when the paste gets good and hard i will add some glitter around the photo edges and let that dry. lastly, the resin will be mixed and poured into the caps. wish me luck.

i am feeling very sentimental about miss mango - in one week she starts college away from home.
things are going to be so dreadfully dull without her.

First let me say I love the way you used your Birthday Resin - second please email me - you posted on my blog about the Terra - I have one small rod left - and I will send it to you to play with :). It should make one or two nice focals. email me at denise(at)glassbeadz.com replace the (at) with @. PS - it is awfully hard to see our "babies" leave the nest - I feel for you!
