Angel Bezel


In addition to getting used to epoxy clay, I also have wanted to encase a few things in clear resin. I created a small circle of Angelina Fibers after using my iron to fuse several colors of it together. Then I cut out a small image of an angel from a Holy Card. I coated them with acrylic sealer spray and set them in the bezel with a tiny bit of glue- just to keep them from floating up. Then I slowly built up and cured several layers of resin.



I really like the way she came out. But, for some reason, I had the hardest time photographing this so it would not be slightly blurry. I think she would pair nicely with some of the 1950s and 1960s vintage jewelry elements I have.

I currently have some new silicone molds curing. I wanted to make a few more resin pieces for jewelry and was contemplating trying out some collage on them. So definitely stay tuned for the results of that!

  1. I love this. Can't wait to see what you do with it. Thanks for your comment on my blog. Guess what you can join our Etsy team now if you like. As long as you have a profile on Etsy that is all you need. I will send you an invite and then I can create a link to your blog and put it on Mary's Graces. Once you open your shop you can create an Etsy mini to add to your blog and send me the code and then I can also put that on Mary's Graces.
