ResinObsession web site is now alive!

11-5-08 I spent most of the afternoon and evening yesterday populating the new ResinObsession website http://www.resinobsession.com/servlet/StoreFront. I think it looks pretty good, how about you? I did goof tho, as usual, I switched domain servers without immediately taking care of my email...oooops! I wondered why I didn't get many emails over the weekend. I thought everyone was just so busy with the election they weren't ordering anything!

I saw Fran with Little-Windows at the Quilt Show again this year. Her booth has doubled, her samples were clever and if the crowd around her booth is any sign.... I would say she is doing well. Congrats Fran!

Many of you have asked to see samples of some of my work and while a lot of it is off with vendors for shows or waiting pictures to be made in to kits, I've taken a few pictures of some pieces. Remember I'm not a photographer or very good at picture editing.



The coral and silver beads necklace and matching bangle doesn't show up as the true color but it's close enough.
The ring looks like a real stone in person.
The amber set is a technique I developed.
I hope you like. Thanks cindy@resinobsession.com

Maker Faire Austin ResinObsession demos What a BLast!

We had an awesome time at Maker Faire in Austin,Texas, which is an event created by Make Magazine to "celebrate arts, crafts, engineering, science projects and the Do-It-Yourself (DIY) mindset." It is like nothing else you have ever seen! I describe it as a "science museum goes to the State Fair"! A wonderful world for "tinkerers", indie upcyclers, and "Keep Austin Weird" crowd.



Craft Magazine had my Resin Starter Kits in the Maker Shed where I demonstrated how to mix and pour resin as well as ideas of all the fun stuff that can be created. If you ever have the opportunity to attend the Maker Faire, in San Mateo, CA, in May or Austin, TX, in October you should take advantage of it.


NEWSFLASH

I am so excited to announce a new product that I will be adding to the eBay store within the next few days. It is a product made by Novus that will polish your resin pieces to a beautiful shine without buffing or polishing with a wheel and jeweler's rouge. This is a hand-polish - no machinery required!



There are three products from Novus:

#1: Gently cleans without scratching, leaves a lustrous shine.Novus

#2: Removes fine scratches, haziness and abrasions.Novus

#3: Removes heavy scratches and abrasions. Requires both #1 and #2 polishes for final finishing.
