Resin Fun

I've had a great weekend experimenting with resin. After going on a workshop in Australia last year and loving it, I'd been putting off trying it at home thinking it would be messy, go wrong, etc. Finally I got the courage to try it on Saturday and then couldn't leave it alone for the rest of the weekend. I tried mixing in allsorts of things - pretty papers, glitter, sweets, oil paint and mica powders for colour. Endless ideas and so much fun. Here are some of the pieces:

I plan to make these pieces into a necklace with matching earrings.
These are little chipboard pieces that I've stuck a picture to
and covered in resin. I'm going to make these into earrings
with three pieces joined with jump rings for each one.
Dominoes with picture added and resin on top.
These are some pieces I did in my workshop in Australia that I've now
made into jewellery. 
More pieces from my workshop in Australia that
I've made into matching necklace and earrings
With all the experimenting and ideas I decided to order a few more moulds so I can't wait for these to arrive now to make more lovely pieces :)
