Modern Resin Jewelry by Night Sky Jewelry from In Art Studio
My website restructure has been on my to-do list, glaring at me, for too long. I do all my own website administration and write all my own code. I guess I am just to picky (anal) to pay someone else to do the work for me. The problem is, I have been putting off working [...]

Finally, I have perfected my method for making these rings. Originally, making the butterflies was a hit-or-miss endeavor. Approximately half of them would have to be scrapped, due to imperfections. This was frustrating and a waste of materials, not to mention time. I kept at it, thinking I just needed to perfect my technique. But [...]

I wanted to try something different, with my favorite seahorse mold. Also, I had these fantastic Swarovski beads, just begging to be used. I started with a vibrant, azure blue and warm, lime green colored resin seahorse. Next I added turquoise and 22K gold seashells and Blue Zircon, Swarovski Aurora Borealis, 4mm bicone beads.

A real taste treat for sure. “Don’t worry honey” my Fiance says, “I’ll make it better next time.” Next time !?! Before that, [...]

The biggest hurdle was finding the spring loaded jewelry hinges. The next problem was finding a heat-proof bracelet mandrel for post curing the urethane resin (see [...]

I have a new bracelet design that requires an oval shaped bracelet mandrel for final heat treating. I bought a cast steel mandrel years ago (very expensive) but the steps are just not long enough for my current needs. The steps are 1 3/4″ long and I need one 2 1/4″ in length. I scoured [...]

My banana trees are happily spending the winter in my studio. Unfortunately, they are harboring tiny fugitives – gnats! A few gnats are not a problem, until they find their way into my casting room. I had just finished a new butterfly bracelet and was removing it from the pressure pot, when I found a [...]
