watch bezel pin project

i don't know how I forgot to include this on my last resin post

it is one of my favourite's

i knew i wanted to make a pin and when I found the metal bee

i thought of summer, my garden and went looking through my old photos

and found some cone flower, perfect

the key and heart balanced it all out

but it was still a bit plain

of course, i hadn't used any wire or beads yet!!

the rest was easy

putting it all together is the fun part

and i'm getting better at pouring resin

-----

if you would like to see the whole project

carmi, the organizer of this resin challenge, has started posting

all the participants work on the resin crafts blog

and also on pinterest

more watch bezel madness

continuing from my last post

once I finished the watch I got to work on a few necklaces

to see the final project 

you should visit the resin crafts blog

 displayed this week at the

 CHA show in california

 

-------

 

for the above bezel I used the envirotex jewelry clay

then inserted the watch parts, pressed and let harden

a metal drawer plate, some beads and chain

above I used some watch parts and gears wrapped with wire

more wire wrapped around the bezel adding beads and a key

a dictionary page and watch parts filled this bezel

before adding some resin

the rest just happened

 

resin watch bezel challenge

back in the fall my friend carmi sent me a few watch bezels

for her resin time-is anytime! project

carmi posted:

With so many talented followers it is time for me to showcase

 your work on both our blog and at a super event we attend in January:

 The Craft & Hobby Association Conference and Trade Show  (CHA)

this weekend carmi is unveiling all the finished pieces

the first thing I did when I saw the brass watch was

to look through my supplies to see what would inspire me

above a layout of all the found objects I though might work

before I knew it , out came the drill, some wire and leather

I found an old wire bangle a figured why not make a watch



filling in the bezel was the easy part

I figured it was 5 o'clock somewhere

and the ETI resin pour came out perfect

and as always one thing leads to many more

but that will be another post
