'...with intention' 2012
it is relatively common knowledge (i think) that i love using ice resin in my work in different ways...
while designing this piece, i became concerned about the stability of the tablet... at the moment it is on tightly, but what if the fiber wears or stretches?
i then remembered that ice resin can be used like a glue...
it's true!
and so i went back, and 'glued' the tablet onto the metal plate...
then i 'glued' leather into some end caps to hold them firmly and create a smooth look...
i can now sell this piece confident in its durability - which is of great importance to me...
give it a try!

Good idea!
Yes, that was a great idea MJ! Really cool focal. And, I really like your caged crystal quartz dangle =)
Maire,
Did you use ice resin on the leather too? I never have luck with glue. I think it is because I'm too impatient and don't give it the time it needs to dry. Love the piece!!! Very cool and artistic as always.....
