Exploring the Wonders of Resin
Resin as a medium is incredibly versatile and can be used to make so many things. It’s used in jewellery making, for things like coasters and trays, and can even be used to make incredible wall art displays. In addition to its notable versatility, resin pieces can last a very long time with the proper care. For a more visual guide to just what can be done with resin, we’ve assembled a quick look at some of the amazing pieces you can find here on ACA.
Assorted Decor
Resin can be made into anything provided you have the molds, and some good examples of this are the works of CoolCove, a Brisbane-based business that uses eco-resin to make their wares.
The Cove Shell Trinket Dish is a lovely piece that you could use to display and keep your rings, bracelets, or other pieces of loose jewellery. It also works great for car keys or other assorted trinkets.
NookMadeThis takes a whimsical approach with their Bubble Bath Trinket Tray, which displays two rubber duckies floating in sudsy bathwater. Perfect for anyone who loves lightly fanciful decor in their home!
Shake the Tree Art makes custom resin letters, numbers, and symbols, which are great if you are looking to personalise a room, office, or other space in your home. They can be displayed either free standing or can be mounted on a wall.
Pens
Resin can be used in smaller, more intricate projects too, and when combined with wood it can create some truly beautiful writing implements.
Wild Heart Woodcraft creates painstakingly handcrafted pens out of a mix of timber and epoxy resin, and the results are gorgeous. Take for example the Virage Pen, which is dressed in paua shell, burl, and resin for an eye-catching appearance.
Their Executive Sierra Pen is equally as striking and is dressed in fordite and blue metallic resin. This pen is balanced nicely for a pleasing writing experience, and its very unique design makes it both a wonderful tool and display piece.
Wall Art
The way you can mix and layer resin means that there are a ton of different outcomes when making a piece of art, and perhaps the most arresting examples of this are in the form of wall art.
WildArt’s 60 cm wall art piece “Sands of Time” evokes the majesty of a sunset with its blend of warm colors, and it instills a sense of serenity when viewing it. The sparkles, waves of colour, and glass-like finish make this a perfect piece to display in high-traffic areas of your home so that it can draw the attention it deserves.
There are a few stunning wall art pieces to choose from by WildArt, including “Wisp”, which is a beautiful image made from swirls of turquoise and bronze. This piece is sure to command attention no matter where it is displayed!
Jewellery
Resin is a great medium for making jewellery owing to the way you can add colour, sparkles, or metallics. Whether it’s earrings, rings, necklaces, or bracelets, it can be made with resin.
Satellyte Designs has a large selection of resin jewellery to choose from, including these Earthy Resin Drop Earrings. These handcrafted earrings feature earthy tones and come with a matte finish.
If you prefer studs, check out the Judy Resin Studs by emmyjake. Available in two different styles, these glitter resin studs are lightweight and a great way to express yourself.
