I called in to visit Penny Vingoe who runs www.clayaround.com just before Christmas and we had a play with some Lisa Pavelka Magic Glos resin. I really liked it so bought a bottle. It’s a UV cure resin and luckily I had a suitable light at home already, we don’t get enough sun in winter here in the UK!!I tried it for the first time earlier in the week on a flat polymer pendant but it was pulling away from the edges a lot, which...

I have been very busy making things this week. Here’s a couple of my newest pendants.

Blue and white oval cabochon pendant, I do love this simple blue and...

I thought about taking part in a Thing a Day challenge this year but decided I would only get behind and frustrated when life got in the way.
