One of the popular crafts that seem to keep people busy for hours is preserved flower jewelery. It might take a long time but the end results are well worth the effort. The main ingredient is liquid resin which is easily available from hobby and craft stores. It usually comes in two different bottles that need to be mixed together and the end result is a glutinous liquid. This is something those seeking accessible luxury can really take advantage of.
One such company that will make these items is Shpangle Jewelery and they are located in Hinckley in the United Kingdom. Fortunately they have a website where one can place ones order or browse through their catalog. They have being trading for seven years and specialize in preserving different items and making them into timeless jewelery.
They are also able to preserve photos, fabric as well as hair or any item that has sentimental value. Many people have requested that confetti from their wedding be preserved as well as bouquets. Each piece that is made will be unique as they all made by hand. The process takes about one week as each piece is sourced, the resin in mixed and pored and then left to harden for seven days. It will then be drilled and filed ensuring that it will be smooth, beautiful and one of a kind.
Another kind of keepsake is creating paperweights. These can be made with resin as well as glass. The glass unfortunately is liable to break if accidentally dropped or knocked but not with resin. They are very hardy and very unlikely to be damaged no matter how many times it might be dropped. Each one is customized to specific requirements and can be beautiful and very elegant.
Next cover the work area with newspaper preferable in a very well ventilated area and always remember to use gloves. Remove the flower from the gel carefully, if done in the microwave be careful as it is hot. Gently shake all the granules off and spray with a light coat of resin spray. If this process is left out it could cause the flower to crumble once the resin is added. Leave to dry as per the instructions indicated on the can.
Amber is distributed throughout the world and can be found in rocks of the cretaceous age sometimes even earlier. Prussia is the leading place where this resin is found and about ninety percent of the world's amber comes from this location. In some instances this is washed up from the sea floor and is then harvested by diving, dredging and by hand.
These resins come in a large variety of colors ranging from the normal orange yellow brown. It can also however be lemon yellow as well as white and black. The most sought after colors are the red, green and blue but are very difficult to find. People are willing to pay large amounts when these precious colors are found.
Preserved flower jewelery can either be made in sterling silver or resin and because it is similar to glass it will magnify the object making it appear 3D. This will ensure that the natural beauty will be seen and the colors will never fade. Encased in the resin one can also leave a name and date or if preferred a special message for that special someone.
