One of the things that really differentiates my new book from its predecessor is the focus on using pigments. I included several projects that cover how to use resin dyes, resin pigments, acrylic inks, and inclusions (such as my faux opal effect).

This project has nothing by dyed resin, no flowers, no inclusions. It just uses dye, resin and open rings to create a faux enamel look. Out of all the new material, I think this was the one I was proudest of because it’s so fun, so versatile and produces such bright, colourful results.

The jewelry you can create with this technique ranges from playful….

To classy.

It can be subtle…

Or crazy!

Definitely one of the most fun projects to create and shoot!
