Colored resin is heated to 300 degrees. It is then a
liquid and can be swirled into different patterns. As the resin
solidifies it is shaped into bracelets, earrings, or other types of
jewelry. Also as it cools it can be mounted on existing items such as
watches or coins. The piece is then coated with a clear resin. Now it
has the look of fused glass.
My spiral earrings were created by winding melted resin around a skewer. I cut the resin into narrow strips. I melt the strips and as they begin to solidify they are put on the skewers. The newly formed earring is dipped in ice water to quickly harden it into a permanent shape.
These colorful watches were created by applying layers of melted resin onto an existing watch. A heat gun was used to melt the resin a bit at a time and I let gravity do the rest to let the resin follow the shape of the watch band. I found that hot resin and watch parts don't mix well. The hot temperatures can stop the watch movement. (whoops!)
