Eyelet Dyslexia and Resin

These two subjects aren’t connected, but then either is my mind today. I think I’m in an end-of-the-year funk, mainly because I didn’t accomplish most of the goals I set myself this year and there’s less than a day and a half left of 2006. One thing I did learn how to do this year—yesterday actually—was to set an eyelet. Both Carmi and Marissa had shown me how to do this. But whenever I attempted it on my own, my eyelets always ended up looking like the rings of Saturn. How could someone who taught herself Photoshop fail to set an eyelet? It’s simple really: I had the wrong attachment.
Yesterday I went to Mary’s for a play day where we did some polymer clay and resin-pouring (it's addictive) using some of the cool vintage bezels that Mary incorporates into her jewelry. She teams them up with all sorts of nifty bits and pieces she seems to find in the most unusual places. You can read more about Mary and her art on her new website.
