Garrnet Earrings and Bracelet

Garnet Earrings and Bracelet

I went to a small bead shop in Homewood, AL and found my birthstone (garnet). I could not pass up buying these chips. I crocheted them on wire picking up one chip per stitch. This is how it came out. I have to make a clasp for the bracelet.

Resin Pendants

I have been trying different things with resin. This time I used dye and embedded items. I learned that when embedding pour a first layer and let it jell then and the items to be embedded then pour the last layer. This keeps the items from sinking to the bottom. I also learned that when using dye don't add to much. If you do the resin will not set (harden).
