Well the turn out to the fair was shoddy, but I managed to almost quadruple what I paid for the stall, so mustn’t grumble! I made a couple of purchases myself and thought I would share as they’re lovely! This vintage-look purse was by Rachael Sturgess, she makes bags and purses (and mobile phone holders) [...]

Finally got the glue and stone balance right on these, and created a necklace and bracelet, both of which are available in my Etsy shop for $50 each (about £25)!

Yesterday my citrus ring (pictured) was on The Carrot Box blog! For those who were directed to my website and couldn’t find the ring, they are available in my Etsy shop exclusively at the moment, which is at www.pennydogaccessories.etsy.com For those who haven’t seen The Carrot Box, it is a fantastic read! The specific post can [...]

I found this ring on the Galerie Spandow website, it’s by Monika Jakubec and it’s a whopping 580 Euros, but it is lush, and shows that resin has no limits! It looks a bit like tubes of penne pasta to me

A bit too much glue this time, but a hundred times better than the last attempt! I hope to perfect this over the weekend

Here’s the product of embedding gemstones in resin…. the clear stones didn’t come out very well, I think I need foil lined ones so that they sparkle, and to use less gelcoat for attaching them! I’ve got some coloured stones on order, so will try again soon. We learn from our mistakes

Yes, I am driven by colour, I think my last few choices of shops have shown that!

My favourite are the vials with fruit inside, which as she says “would go well with [my] fruit stud earrings”! I think we use the [...]
