So now to resin.  I did say last year that I was giving up on resin because although I made lots of pieces with it, I never felt at one with it.  However I have decided to make a few more pieces, so I am giving it another go to see how I feel this time.  I have made some model pieces of flowers and hearts which are baking in the oven at the moment.   When they are ready I will make a mould with them so I can start doing my resin pieces.  It will probably be a week before I have any finished pieces. Maybe I will take some to Harrogate if all goes well.

This is a silver spoon I made based on a spade shape.  I gave it to a friend for her birthday, she loves spoons, their shapes, handles etc. I love making pieces like this probably because its not jewellery so it makes a change for me.

I started reading Never Let Me Go last night.  It is intriguing as it doesn't make a lot of sense yet but as I am reading it I already have the actors/actresses faces in my mind and they really fit the character so well done to the casting director on the film!
