As I am finishing #101mineral rights I think I am becoming my grandma. I was introduced to resin as a kid because grandma & grandpa made resin rock tables. This sculptural piece is inspired by the mineral rights they left for me, my siblings & cousins.

It is getting closer and closer to Stampede time!!!!! I just took a look at the Western Showcase site and look what I found….. http://www.westernshowcase.com/artist-ranch-project.html
What an honor to be included in such a great list with these outstanding artists!!!! I am so excited about showing at Stampede this year!!!!!

I spent the day carving and squishing wax to create molds that would be used as a  form for pouring resin jewelry pendants. The forms seemed to slide into the shape I wanted quite easily but they were not smooth enough for the forms. I heated up an element on the stove and used a cookie sheet as the flat surface I needed to melt the edges of the form. It took a few test runs but I figured out how to hold the forms so they would dry properly without drying with melt bubbles on parts of their surfaces. I love learning something new and pushing the brain to figure out the nuances of materials I am not familiar with.
