These are resin stud earrings. They are very comfortable because of their feather like weight.

I read a blog about using old record albums. It said to melt the record in the oven until flexible at 200 degrees. I did that and had to use a glove to pick it up. When it was warm I could easily cut it. The record had to go back in the heat a couple times to finish my cuts. This is a collar necklace that is embellished with a piece of brass and Friendly Plastic.

We have been trying to come up with a new design for a necklace. I have created a number of pendant styles that were dependent on a chain or cord to be wearable. Leanne had an amazing idea to copy the form of a solid gold and silver collar she had. I wrapped her collar with a layer of cardboard and covered it with foil. A heat gun was used to melt plastic resin onto the form. It got really hot at I worked and the plastic began to run. After a little practice, a section was melted then set in ice water to cool. The sections came together and I had a collar.
