I'm often asked to remake designs in my sold history. I made the original piece about seven years ago so it was interesting to remember just how I made it and if I even could. I also wanted to improve on the original design if possible.
With the original the light was an afterthought. It wasn't very strong and the on/off mechanism wasn't great. So I redesigned it with a stronger light and easier access to the on/off switch. The most difficult element was creating the bubbles in the resin that amplify and diffuse the light. As you can see, I had to do it in five small pours but I'm happy how it came out. I destroyed three lights and five glass vials before I was happy.
This is a side to my work that people don't see. I sell in a high price bracket, some may argue too high. I don't think I need to justify my prices but few realise just how many supplies are destroyed/wasted trying to achieve the end result. I try to save what I can and sometimes I keep the mistakes to remind me not to do that again.
It's a heavy piece with solid brass rings, beads, rods, chain, tubes and crimps. I've used vintage clock pinions above the fantastic four ridged beads. I can't tell you how many times all the beads and tubes fell off during construction.
It is really tactile. I can't help but play with it. With the removable LED, I can make different colors inserts. Despite the challenges in the build, I'll be making more of these. It certainly has an Art Deco feel to it.

Buzz into Spring with these bee-utiful earrings. Show some love for nature's best pollinators with these 1.5 cm x 1.5 cm stud earrings with butterfly backs. Each bee is 100% unique due to the nature of the resin and how each colour is layered.

Something I've been prototyping this week: #resin #wing #necklace I'm quite pleased with how they're turning out, even if they do take stupidly long to make. I'll have them at @galaxyconcolumbus in December, and may also put them on my online store. Ps how much would you pay for some of these? #resinjewelry #wings #bat #dragon #demon #angel #bird #butterfly #butterflies #moth #moths #lunamoth https://www.instagram.com/p/Ck05VbZrz8w/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=
