It’s been so hot here, that I work outside early in the morning and late in the evening, and work in my studio during the heat of the day. Tom is building me a new studio addition. I’m so excited! I try to help as much as I can, if you call my feeble attempts […]
Huge Clear Resin Jewelry Mermaid Bangle Bracelet This is a new clear resin cast mermaid bracelet. I think she turned out great, for my first one. I have more of these in the works. This bracelet took 5 separate castings to make. I kept my fingers crossed, that I would not mess up the last […]
