Through the Looking Glass


I'm not much of a jewelry girl, but a year ago I fell in love with a resin necklace I found in a local shop. It had an image embedded in it of a black bird sitting on a telephone wire. I'd never seen anything like it, the depth of the image fascinated me, and even though it was a small, simple piece it definitely had the presence of "Art". It reminded me of two of my favorite things - beach glass and photography - merged into one.

Of course, when I went back to buy it it was long gone.

But last night not only did I discover these at Bethtastic's Shop (Etsy), I also found a video tutorial by John Goldon via YouTube on how to make them myself! My mind is roiling with ideas, I can hardly tamp them down!

If you prefer brighter, more dynamic colors, then check this resin jewelry out, it may be more your style.

Oh wow, those are really striking. I remember the first one you showed me, too. They have a great depth to them. {Oh, and your links crack me up. :)}
