Resin Horsehair jewellery – New additions

I thought I would highlight the new additions to my range of resin horsehair jewellery that I have made recently. I love working with horsehair within resin jewellery because of the lovely effects that can be achieved with the hair. Initially when I receive a sample of horsehair, it appears to be a single colour (brown/black), however after working with the individual strands of hair, I soon appreciate the beautiful variations of colours to the hair.

The following are a few of the custom-made resin horsehair jewellery items that I have recently made.

MS Society Charity Custom Paperweight

The MS Society (Multiple Sclerosis Society of Great Britain)  have contacted me several times over the last few years to make custom branded paperweights for them. These are to be given as gifts to valued colleagues and supporters of the charity.

The MS Society is the UK’s largest charity for people affected by Multiple Sclerosis, a condition that effects a person’s central nervous system. The charity provides support and helps fund research into the condition.

The first custom paperweight that I was asked to make for the MS Society charity is this one:

Haribo engagement ring preservation

It has been fifteen years since I preserved my very first Haribo sweet engagement ring for a newly engaged couple and you can read about it here: Haribo Engagement Ring

Dog tag bespoke paperweight

I completed this bespoke paperweight late last year containing three dog tags. The story is that this pet dog lived in several addresses over her lifetime, so this would be a nice memorial for her. My customer sent me a design for the positioning of the dog tags inside the paperweight keepsake, along with the three dog tags.

I set the three dog tags inside a clear resin square shaped paperweight to a design that my customer required, and this is the completed paperweight.
