Weekends are all about the garden. I am always surprised at the difference you can make weeding for a few hours.....yet sometimes not a darn thing gets accomplished in the same amount of time in my studio. I have been pouring resin in these oval bezels every morning. I like to know that my studio is still working when I am not in it. It is very satisfying to hold these embellishments after 24 hours. Our home is air conditioned and my studio has been cooler than normal. The resin has been sluggish and thick so I almost broke down and brought it all outside. But these all turned out beautifully and now that they are mostly cured I will let the sun do the final drying. I won't have any bugs or dust drying in them now.

Maybe the resin is sluggish because of the humidity. Even with the a/c, the humidity reading indoors is higher than usual. They are all beautiful, of course.
