The Jewellery
I started making jewellery using UV cured resin, but I’m always experimenting with different mediums an ideas.
This is how I ended up making the epoxy clay, hand painted pieces.
I found the joying creating art and have had such a positive response, that I decided to move away from the resin pieces which I no longer enjoyed making.
(There is a handful of resin jewellery that I have decided to keep, and these are made from moulds bought from independent mould makers and then hand-painted by myself).
The flat artwork pieces are made by using basic shaped hand cutters on the epoxy clay and then painting them with uv cured paints.
To make the 3d pieces, I first sculpt or carve the shapes in wax, before making moulds from these.
Then the epoxy clay blanks are made in these moulds, before I hand paint them with the same UV cured paint.
Each item is then finished with UV cured resin or varnish.
Each piece is individual made and hand painted, so no 2 pieces will be the same, even those made from my handmade moulds will have slight differences due to this.
I’m regularly making new pieces for the website and for the markets that I now sell at.
(Keep an eye on my Instagram and Facebook pages for information about the markets,)
It has taken time to learn the skills to make these look professional, and I am a bit of perfectionist.
I will never sell anything that I wouldn’t be happy to wear, in fact I try all the earrings out to see how they look, feel, and hang.
Some of the jewellery also includes a donation to charity
I do hope that my customers love wearing a piece of individual jewellery and that it brings them joy every time they do.
I use Surgical or Stainless Steel where possible. It is hypoallergenic, however some people still react to it. If you would like alternative metal attachments, please contact me before purchasing via the contact us button and I can price and source an alternative for you.
I continue to look forward to sharing my new work with you in the future.
So keep your peepers peeled.
