I have been busy with picking up a new craft recently – tatting. I have also been experimenting with making my own resin jewellery. My first attempts were not too successful, using the Ranger’s Glossy Accents. The Glossy Accents reacted with the coloured resin and turned cloudy after a few days. I had to resort to using the 2-part mix and pour resins instead.

Here are some examples of my successful attempts:

 

I have also started dabbling in hand-dyed threads. After seeing beautiful samples of tatting done in various colours that are not readily available, I have decided to dye my own threads for crochet and tatting. I have completed several projects already and will post photos of them soon. =)

 

Have a great crafting day ahead!!
