Creating the projects and writing this book was such a pleasure. It gave me the best reason to lose myself in “my work.” It also allowed me the freedom to create projects and designs that spoke to me, with the hope they speak to you, too.

The projects are outlined as a place to start and then progress in complexity to provide challenges while supporting you for success. The finished pieces are designed to entice and empower you whether metal clay is new to you, if you have tried the material but didn’t find the success you were hoping for, or to call you back to metal clay if you tried it and moved on to other things.

HEART & HANDS of a MAKER podcast

Sessions filled with great ideas, inspirational stories, everyday little joys, and life's big dreams. Each week, my guests and I discuss topics such as creating, the maker's life, business challenges and successes!

Let’s make a quick gift! 🎁 

You just need a few supplies, including open back bezels (from @nunndesign), heavy-duty tape, a pair of scissors, UV, resin, glitter, stir stick, uv lamp, and a pair of ear wires. 

Add the open back bezels to a piece of tape and burnish so the tape is sealed well against the bezel frame.
Put some UV resin into a small mixing cup then add some glitter. Stir to blend then add a few drops into the bezels. 
Using the UV lamp, cure the resin.
(Optional) Apply a little more resin (no glitter this time) to the top of the bezels to add a nice dome.
Cure then remove the tape and repeat on the back.
Add an ear wire to each bezel and you’re good to go.

Let me know if you have any questions - happy to help you as the holiday crunch approaches!
