I receive my order of 50 ring blanks yesterday! I cannot begin to tell you how many resin pieces that I have completed and are waiting to be attached to the ring. The rings blanks are the jewelry piece that I get before I attach the resin pieces. I will have tons of pics soon! I have never had this many to work on at once.
I actually use resin to attach the resin piece to the ring. Unfortunately, even though resin is super strong, it does not allow the flexibility needed for an adjustable ring. I realized that the resin as the adhesive works well for attaching some pieces, but that I would need something else to attach the resin to the rings.
More on that later...

Rodeo time in Houston...
Check out my Jessica Simpson cowgirl boots! You like? The Houston Livestock and Rodeo is the largest in the world and it kicks off this weekend with the official Cookoff. The Friday before the rodeo starts is always "Go Texan" day here in Houston where we get to sport our rodeo wear to work, school, or wherever! Okay, so we Texans may still be little bit country...sure Houston is a major metropolitan city, but we have not lost the Texas twang completely! Those of us that are native Texans...never will! I will post the pics soon! Yeehaw yall!

Casting resin the ice resin way!
I usually write about casting epoxy resin. Lately, I have been seeing a whole lot about Ice Resin, so I decided to do a Resin Chica 101 and bring the info to you!
Ice resin- is a clear resin that is also used for projects involving jewelry and paper.
What makes this resin different from the easy cast resin that I use for my projects? I honestly have not noticed very many differences and my research has indicated the same. The conclusion I draw is that it is a matter of preference, but I am leaning toward the difference being the "ice" like texture and look of the ice resin. Hence "Ice" in ice resin. I have also heard that it may be less odorous and not as harmful of a chemical, but don't quote me.
I am going to be working on a project using ice resin soon and I will tell you first hand what differences I notice right off the back.
In the meantime, check out the mother of all information for ice resin- http://www.iceresin.com/ for more info and cool picks as to what you can do with resin casting specific to ice resin. Let me know if you try it out yourself!

Makes you want to lick your fingers...but don't!!
Pretty and shiney! I love the colors in this picture! I incorporated all of my favorites with this set of rings (they are attached to adjustable rings). This was a three stage curing process...yes lots of patience is necessary! Click on the pic if your are interested in having one on your finger! Please don't eat it! No matter how yummy they look!
