Customer Review

This is a lovely book covering how to make over 50 inspiring projects including earrings, bracelets, cuff links, necklaces and more. The author likes to use metal bezels of various shapes in the design of the jewellery. Then she uses paper, dried flowers, ink, glitter and stamping to embellish the resin which makes each item of jewellery unique. Moulds, layering and how to add colours are all explained. There is a helpful section on troubleshooting should you require it. I would recommend this book!

Customer Review

It is a beautiful book with over 90 quality gloss pages with loads of helpful tips and tricks to make all kinds of jewellery using resin. I can highly recommend it if you are starting out. There are ideas for using jewellery findings, colouring resin with powder and liquids, 3D inclusions and quick dry clay.
