Description
A sustainable guide to making plant-based resin accessories with your favorite flowers, including earrings, bezel necklaces and pendants.
Whether you're a beginner looking to take up an eco-friendly hobby, or an established crafter looking to ditch harmful petroleum-based resins, these 33 projects provide essential advice for creating your own botanical jewelry.
You'll learn to select, pick and prepare flowers, leaves and other natural materials for preservation, before following a beginner-friendly introduction to encasing objects in resin, working with bezels and jewelry tools. Once you've got to grips with shaping and curing plant-based resin, later projects open up a world of sculptural creativity – using a range of molds, you'll learn how to cast, layer and assemble like a pro.
Brimming with tips and tricks throughout, including the addition of colorants, foil and glitter to your finished pieces, Sharon Wu's step-by-step instructions will help you create personalized, vibrant and sustainable accessories for every occasion. Whether preserving the first flower of spring or the leaves from your Christmas wreath, Natural Settings is the indispensable guide for anybody interested in making resin jewelry.
