back to school, 2.0

The first day of kindergarten was a success for all involved:  my boy was pale & quiet & big-eyed in the morning, but he determinedly sent me on my way, & after I picked him up he had a lot to say about three recesses & how he's going to start riding the bus home next week.  I feel this indescribable sense of relief, like, ok, whatever ridiculous parenting blunders we've made over the past five years, at least we managed to produce someone who had a good first day of kindergarten.  He's the school system's problem now!

The end of pre-first-day jitters has freed up a lot more creative energy around here, so of course I immediately turned to my new resin kit.  So far, I haven't done more than make a series of glittery lumps:

Which are cool because I made plastic, but otherwise pretty useless.  I think I love this stuff, though.  I have big plans.

In the meantime, there I was with a lump of glittery resin + a ring blank, so, why not?  My daughter is just green with envy.  (Any sources for kid-sized ring blanks would be much appreciated!)

So glad the first day of Kindergarten was a success!

As for your resin beauties - all I can do is quote one of my son's favorite cartoons*: "Pretty Pretty Shiny Shiny!"

Oh when I saw this first picture I couldn't take off my head the idea that it will be my son in few months (in january) and I have so much indescribable feelings inside my heart ! Kind of horror, sadness, pride,... Do we lost these feelings quickly, do you think ?? I'm so afraid and ashamed to be :(

Hi!!! The resin is so cool! If by ring blanks you mean rings that have a flat circle at the top so you can attach things to it...try artchixstudio.com. They have some that I used for my daughter's birthday party last year - they're adjustable, NOT sterling, but perfect for the age group you're looking for!

This cracked me up!
"ok, whatever ridiculous parenting blunders we've made over the past five years, at least we managed to produce someone who had a good first day of kindergarten."
I'm so happy his first day was a good one.
And I am totally digging those glittery plastic RINGS! They're sparkle-rific!

Hi there! Your resin jewelry is absolutly amazingly sparkishly beautiful. I love most things that sparkle and I cant get over how wonderful your rings look.
I have a question for you...what did you use to get started working with resin. I have been trying to find out as much as I can about working with resin, and I am finding it hard to find any information at all...even *gasp* online. If you could give me some advice on where to look for info to get started I would deeply appreciate it :)
Thanks either way,
Snow.
