Resin!

So I started the resin off again.  I made some shapes, yes hearts and flowers, they are very popular.  I baked the shapes and then made some moulds with the shapes.
I made up on the resin in different colours and made the shapes.
Next is the bit I hate, filing and sanding.  My fingers are sore from the work and it reminded me why I dislike it.  The toxic smell, despite the mask and messiness of the material is not good so I am not going to do anymore........ again.  I will finish off the pieces I have done and make in to brooches and earrings but enough is enough.

So I need to focus on Harrogate BCTF.  I will get all my jewellery ready this week and then start on the stand design.  I know what I am doing, I am going to hang the jewellery in picture frames on the wall,  One range in one frame.  I will get some material as well to hang on the wall to make it a bit more fancy but I want to keep it minimal, I only have a 1m x 2m space anyway.  Hope it looks good and works .........

I also need to photograph my finished pieces as these will be my brochure.  I will have each range on a photograph with a price list and my business cards so hopefully that will be enough, no point in wasting lots of paper. 

Feel organised but also feel like there should be more to it ................
