Lately I’ve been creating my own “designer jewelry” as they refer to it in books and websites. It’s really a lot of fun and I enjoy making one of a kind pendants that I can turn into necklaces or do just about anything with. I was on a role until I ran out of colored ink for my printer so I haven’t made a pendant since getting a replacement cartridge.

I did try out inkjet shrinky dinks and I was very let down. They might make good pieces for earrings maybe, but definitely didn’t get the effect that I was going for. Bummer.

Next I would like to try casting my own resin to see how that ends up. It looks hard, not quite as easy as mastering the polymer clay was.  As with everything, though, practice makes perfect. Before you know I’ll be making millions through my own etsy shop!
