I have been busy. I am also loving every second of the experimenting, shooting, writing and innovating that I’ve done for Resin Jewelry, 2nd Edition. Every time I think I’m done, more inspiration comes my way. Clearly, the muse is working overtime. Resin Jewelry, 2nd…
September 18th will mark the 1 year anniversary of my book ‘Resin Jewelry’. In that time I have learned so much, about writing, about resin and about how much farther this versatile medium can be taken. I have also had a year to interact with the…
Tito and I had an amazing time at the Frogpond farm this weekend. We are happy and tired, with a much-diminished collection of jewellery. Here are some of our highlights!
Early this morning, I did my FINAL POUR for this weekends art show, Art in the Vineyard at Frogpond Farms. Tito and I went through 12 cases of resin, poured roughly every 8-10 hours for 3 weeks and produced 65 pieces of jewellery for sale…
Tito and I have been madly resining away in the evenings, preparing for our first art show as a couple. Last year, Tito participated in Frog Pond Farm’s ‘Art in the Vineyard’ with his paintings. We had an amazing time and were invited back this…
Just a few shots of a resin fern bangle in a thin mold that I’ve been working with lately :) If you like it, learn how to make your own here!

Tito has been doing a lot of copper work lately, and to my great delight he has gotten into making bezels. His work is (I know, I’m biased) absolutely gorgeous and totally steam punk. He creates each bezel purely from scratch, hammering and shaping and…
I have a lovely customer who has supported my resin work from the very beginning. She is a total stranger – other than the fact that she’s made many purchases from me over the years. When I decided to stop selling resin, I wanted to…
Last night I shot the last of the jewellery for the book. Final edits are happening this weekend, and this thing is going to print (crossing fingers) Monday. It should be available for purchase by mid-September latest. I can’t believe any of the above.
The book is almost there – I spent 14 hours yesterday, pouring 8 straight batches of resin, adding sections to the book, taking a ton more photos and making a huge mess in the apartment :) The final draft, content-wise, is sitting with my editor…
From my intro: I have been working with resin for 6 years, and in that time I’ve made some beautiful things, but also had some tragic failures. I’ve been inspired by the beautiful things to keep going, and learned from the failures until I got…
