It goes without saying I love the bezels spellbinders brought out recently. Team these up with the clear drying resin and you have an amazing jewellery making kit (the resin is made easy to handle in the way it's been brought to us - a double barrel syringe with the two part resin in separate tubes, but applied at the same time in the correct quantity). The resin is known as Ice Resin.
Saying that, when I did my necklaces I didn't have the resin at the time - so used my melt pot. With the flower chain, I made my flower from one of my spellbinders dies and dipped it into my melting pot with clear UTEE. I placed paper into the bezel, using the matching spellbinders die to cut the exact circle so it fits perfectly. I used embellishments, and also an chain which were all held into place with the UTEE when I filled the bezel.
The face was made in the same way, but I made the face first using one of the wonderful silicone moulds. I added mica flakes and strips of mica sheet which looks brilliant when encased in the UTEE, as it catches the light. Again, everything is encased with UTEE and held in place. The UTEE cools solid and makes a really substantial piece.
All the above is available on my web site, which unfortunately I have had to close at the moment. I am really hoping to be able to get it up and running again in the near future, but please keep checking.
In the meantime - have a go at making your own jewellery pieces, it's fantastic fun.
