Summary
When you mix a resin with a hardener and let it cure, something magical happens. Liquid plastic becomes glass-like, preserving images and suspending objects in time. Poured into molds, it takes on any form you can imagine. Mixed with colorants and other inclusions, it can imitate countless materials. In The Art of Resin Jewelry author Sherri Haab demystifies this cutting-edge medium and gives you all the information and inspiration you need to get started. Step-by-step projects with crystal-clear instructions and tons of full-color photographs show you exactly how to create more than twenty stunning necklaces, bracelets, earrings, rings, pins, and belt buckles.
