Bling Rings

I have just finished making these 'bling rings'.

I have had the ring bases in my stash for a while and purchased some 2-part epoxy clay a while ago too after watching some you tube  videos and deciding I just had to have a play!

Last weekend I bought some crystals from a bead shop in Christchurch and today I finally got to sit down to put them all together.

If you make your own jewellery and haven't tried two-part epoxy clay, I recommend you give it a go. I used Crystal Clay. So much easier and less messy than resin, and unlike fimo there is no baking involved.

The first two rings I made I tried to make them in a pretty organised way. The next two I made with a black background and put the crystals on in a haphazard way, just filling in the gaps. - I actually prefer the finished product doing it this way!
