My idea of using a thin layer of resin over the other that hadn't set properly worked awesome! They turned out great and I couldn't be happier. I have six small ovals total. They are a little too small for pendants and none of them match so I can't use them for earrings. Lately I've been making some charm style bracelets and I think I might make either one with all six or two that have three ovals and some other beads mixed in with them. Whatever I decide I'm just happy I don't have to scrap five of the ovals, that would've been bad.

A wonderful weekend
In flower pendants, In ladybug, In resin issues, In shawl pinSaturday, April 4, 2009
So far it's been a great weekend. The weather has been absolutely beautiful today after two days of rain and cloudy skies. I'm hoping tomorrow is just as nice when we take Little G to the park.
Friday I got some more dried flowers, these in a bunch of different colors. I made a two of the round pendants and then 5 small ovals I'm not sure what I'm going to do with. Something with the resin didn't go as good this time though as it set fine for the two larger ones but was still tacky for the smaller ones. So I mixed up another batch and did a thin layer on top of the 5 smaller ones and we'll see tomorrow if that worked. I hope so.
Here's a photo and link to one of the larger ones that I think turned out pretty nice.
I also did up and listed another shawl pin that looks like a ladybug. It's pretty cute.

In dried flowers, In flower pendants, In Mother's DayTuesday, March 24, 2009
After technical difficulties with my wireless mouse and keyboard this morning I am just now getting around to getting t his posted. It's been one of those days for the most part. Enough of that though, here are my awesome new pendants. I LOVE making these. They are very tedious getting the dried flowers in just the right place but it's fun too.
I only had one that totally didn't turn out at all with multiple issues. I wore this black one to work today.
I haven't added the bails to these other ones yet but I plan on sending the two light background flower ones to my mom and mother in law for Mother's Day.
I have a different type of pendant coming in tomorrow and one more frame style to do as well, so I foresee many more of these in my future.
