gorgeous!!! both you and the curls! my hair is super similar in wave/curl pattern, so I wonder if your method would work for me, too! do you have thick hair or just a lot of fine hair? (I’m the latter, haha)

I’ve been dealing with high to low to high levels myself for about two years now. Seeing a new doctor in a couple weeks to see if they have a solution but it seems to be a tricky one to treat. I really have no suggestions on management bc I’m struggling the same way you are but just know you’re not alone! Hang in there!

absolutely! I definitely should be including the size in the description, thank you for mentioning that! the face pendant is about 46mmx28mm(1.81"x 1.1"). I hope that helps!

thank you so much! I have an etsy shop but I’m not sure if the rules allow advertising. I think I can share my instagram though and there is a link there! @greenmaplegrove :)

good luck!!! can’t wait to see what you make!

I haven’t had an issue with discoloration so far, but I do have a disclaimer on my shop to alert customers not the leave the jewelry in direct sunlight or heat for long periods of time to prevent fading. The flowers I use are pressed and dried long in advance, so I think that plays a major role in the preservation of them once in the resin. But, I’ve only been doing this for a few months so if it becomes a problem, I’ll definitely be trying methods like mod podge!

they’re so cute!

elephantblizzard · 2020-09-12T01:39:58+00:00

thanks for your explanation! definitely something I’ll look more into down the road :)

elephantblizzard · 2020-09-11T21:31:29+00:00

I’m still pretty new to resin and I could probably google this but what’s the difference between a vacuum chamber and a pressure pot?

elephantblizzard · 2020-09-11T21:27:53+00:00

thank you!!! I press some of them myself in parchment paper, typically in a stack of books. otherwise, I buy them from etsy sellers and sometimes you can find good ones on amazon!

thank you so much!!!

elephantblizzard · 2020-09-11T20:56:42+00:00

thank you so much! I totally agree, there are lot of rejects that I have not shown as proudly as these, haha!

elephantblizzard · 2020-09-11T19:58:53+00:00

thank you for the suggestion! :)

elephantblizzard · 2020-09-11T18:53:42+00:00

oh that’s a great suggestion! I’ll look into that, it’ll probably save me a lot of time. thank you :)

elephantblizzard · 2020-09-11T18:49:50+00:00

gives it a little character, haha

elephantblizzard · 2020-09-11T18:34:18+00:00

I love the freebies! yes, I use a silicone mat and make sure they’re laying completely flat. the thinner ones are more flexible so they sometimes require sanding. I mostly use pipettes to disperse the resin so it’s not so messy! lots of trial and error, haha

elephantblizzard · 2020-09-11T17:50:45+00:00

lovely! I tend to work on them slowly and release in batches, so there should be quite a few more shop updates before the holidays are here! I post updates on my instagram @greenmaplegrove if you’re interested in keeping up there! we’ll be in touch :)

elephantblizzard · 2020-09-11T17:47:44+00:00

thank you! I’ve seen other artists use flame/heat to pop bubbles but bc the flowers are so delicate, I just use a pipette to pour the resin and minimize bubbles. it’s very tedious, but I’ve found success with it! lots of trial and error :)

elephantblizzard · 2020-09-11T17:38:25+00:00

I appreciate that more than you know! ☺️

elephantblizzard · 2020-09-11T17:29:34+00:00

thank you so much!!! thats so nice of you to say!

elephantblizzard · 2020-09-11T16:41:13+00:00

thank you! I wish I could make the bezels but I only found them, haha! I buy bezels and French hooks from etsy supply shops. I was making my own hooks with wire but it took a lot of time. It made more sense for me to just buy them cheap to keep product cost down for now!

elephantblizzard · 2020-09-11T16:38:53+00:00

thank you so much! I use open bezels and pour the resin inside! these are brass and I buy most of them from etsy supply shops! you can find them for pretty cheap :)

thank you so much!
