Dream Tool


As a resin artist I spend an inordinate amount of time hand sanding. I am always looking for ways to cut down my sanding time. The Wolf Sander $179 is the work horse of my dreams. It has specialized belts that you can use with plastic and resin which do not scratch the surface. It will take the finish down to a 400 microfiber sanding grit, cutting in half my original hand sanding time. It also is great for sanding fine/sterling silver again with few scratches on the material.

Here is the link for the specialized sanding belts: http://www.ottofrei.com/store/search.php?mode=search and here is the link for the sander http://www.ottofrei.com/store/product.php?productid=16863&cat=0&page=2.

New Resin Bangles


I am continuing with the theme of resin bangles with my new work entitled Oh Bangle! I have been able to increase production by using OOMOO to create molds. It doesn't leave the fuzzy surface that most two part molds do and it is a lot less expensive. However, I must admit it is messy! I am still cleaning this stuff off of the floor of my studio.

Addicted to Reading

I have begun reading epic fantasy and science fiction novels as if they were part of the air I breathe. The good news is I am having a great time. The bad news is that it has taken time away from my work. I am attributing this to my winter hibernation instinct. Here are some of my favorites.

Kushiel's Dart Legacy Trilogy Series by Jacqueline Carey.

A Game of Thrones, Trilogy by George R. R. Martin.


Daughter of the Forest Trilogy by Juliet Marillier
