THE PROCESS
Beads
Most of the beads I use are glass with a few fashion beads to add flare. I love mixing textures (gloss, matte, metallic), shapes (seed, bugle, bicone, etc.), density (opaque, translucent, transparent) and sizes. After all, jewelry should be fun and unique.
Resin
I'm pretty new to the epoxy resin world, I'm still learning the techniques and experimenting with different colorings and additives, each new item is an experiment. I could not make two exactly the same, even if I wanted to. That's one of the great things about making everything myself; I absolutely love the versatility; who knows what I could create tomorrow?
Photography
I think one of the most challenging parts of all is the photography. Cameras do not capture details that the eye does, yet focuses on other details that our eyes skip over. If the lighting is just right to showcase the color of the beads, the resin falls flat; yet if the backlighting is bright enough to shine the spotlight on the resin the beads are then shadowed... Its been a challenge.
Craftsmanship
I strive to make each item with quality to ensure they last as long as possible; I agonize over each detail until I'm certain the item is as perfect as I can create, but I am human and everything is handmade, there will be defects, some consider that part of the charm of something not manufactured. There are many bruises and blisters to show just how hard I work to bring the best possible product to you.

I hope you love it.
