I've been busy making pendants for Christmas presents....

Hiya folks,

Sorry I haven't been writing much here, but with this lockdown going on - I'm not going out much neither!!!! So I've been making resin pendants to give to people for Christmas and then I have to make some things for the men in the group who have helped me - they won't be wearing pendants will they? LOL - maybe some paper weights or key rings - have to think about that!!

I made these today - I quite like the colours here. Mandi has asked me to do her colours like this, and shapes like this - so maybe these will be going to Turkey!!!

The other ones I finished a couple of days ago were like this......

I love the red flowers - so I made quite a few of them - though I suppose some of these might just go for pressies!!!

So I feel pleased that they have turned out like this. I've got lots more molds and epoxy resin - so I'll go mad!!! I've also bought silver chains to go with the pendants and ordered some small little velvey bags, to put them in. Oh I've hopefully thought of everything. As for my family - I'll be giving them gift cards, because their tastes change all the time, and I can't keep up. So okay - it looks as if not a lot of thought has gone into that - but isn't it much better to give them the money so they can get exactly what they want?

I hope you are all well and keeping socially distant. I've been having some physio in my home to help with my breathing etc. - the poor girl comes to my home with mask, plastic facial covering (which kept steaming up - so she had to keep wiping it down inside), an apron, latex gloves and shoe coverings!!! I didn't have anything - well I don't go out, so there's no need for any.

Okay folks, please look after yourselves - please stay safe. Have a great week following.

Oh those are really pretty Jenny. Simply lovely, and I'm sure recipients will love them. I have a paperweight that is similar in that it has an orchid flower in it. It's lovely, and was a gift from my ex and his wife from their travels (Singapore that time).
I've given my son money for years. He never wants much (thankfully) and this way he can save it up to buy something big that he wants such as gaming software and so on. Gift cards are similar and a nice idea. I'm sure they'll appreciate them.
You stay safe too.

Oh I'm so happy that you like them, Fran. I've made a couple more today and a paper weight. Now I've bought the ready mixed resin, it's so easy to make these. It's deciding what to decorate them with, is the thing that keeps me busy. Well, I might be strange - but this year has just shot by, and I was really surprised how quickly Christmas is upon us. So as I don't have a lot of money - I've had to make things, I already have the items - it's just a case of making things with them.

Yes you stay safe too - you're out amongst the people, whereas I'm home all alone

Very pretty Jenny! I especially like the teardrop shape! As to the men, either idea will do but the paperweight is a bit nicer I think..

Thanks so much Gracie - the teardrop shape is Mandi's favourite too. Yes I think paper weights might be a good idea - although with all this new technology - maybe they don't have paper to keep down!!!! Hope you and Rick are okay - please stay safe and well.

Lol! The biggest joke in most offices is "we're a paperless environment"! Trust me, especially those that work at home or do their own finances not online, would use one!

Oh Jenny! These are all just SO PRETTY!!! I love all the shapes but I agree, the teardrop's my favorite...but any of them would be such a lovely gift to get from you. And I have to say, I would value a hand-made gift over something store-bought any day of the week. It shows such care. I admire your creativity! And each of these beautiful prizes is so unique and special! :) You are so thoughtful, Jenny! Thanks for showing us what you've been doing, it's such a treat to see your artistic flair in action! :)

That is so strange - it seems to be the most popular style. Mandi wants it, Emily's husband wants it for his mum, and now Gracie and Mickey - now you!!!! I'll take more pictures of the rest of the ones I'm making.

LOL, well I really do like them all though...I had some time to visit each picture and they're all grand, no matter which shape! I would attach one to the side of my monitor so I could see it all the time--I wear an opal necklace that we got in Australia (he has one too) and we won't ever take them off except to change the leather cord when it gets frail. So pendants would be a choice to hang from my monitor...I had to sit and think about it, so I did! :D

Just testing my ability here using you Jenny. I am unable to write an article or send private messages. I wanted to see what else is wrong.

Well it's come out just fine here, Gracie. Have you asked Ipernity to see what's going on? Although they do seem to be having some problems themselves too. Hope all is okay with you and that you are staying safe. x
