The Shining Earrings

I love the shining and I love that carpet! I just love 70s stuff in general. So I made these from Shrinkydinks and resin.

They took a bit longer than expected since the resin part can be so finicky. I made my own “blood” beads freeform. And I had to make 4 axes. Except that ended up being more like 10 because I kept screwing them up. Lol. I also made the beads with silver hardware first and didn’t like the silver so I had to remake them now in brass.

Very cool! I sense a Nerd Games bingo card project :joy:.

How did you make the beads and axe? They’re so cool!

Neat. I love using shrinky dink and resin together. I’ve never thought of embedding something in the resin. I absolutely love your addition of the axes. And yes inquiring minds want to know how you made the axes and the beads because wow!

You’ve really nailed the iconic movie, The Shining with these! I think it would take a fan to get it and others will just be, “cool earrings!”

@Tapestry @Rlynn thanks! The axes are just more shrinkydink embedded in resin. I kept screwing them up because I kept keeping them in the oven too long. :joy:
As for the blood drops, I made the resin red with alcohol ink. Then I made little pools of resin on top of a silicone mat. I put jump rings in the resin and pulled them out a bit to make them more droplet-shaped. I cured them, then I flipped them over so the flat side is up. Then I filled the flat side in with more resin and cured it. They aren’t perfect that way so then I dipped them in the resin and turn them in the UV light so that it covers the whole thing, makes it smoother, and doesn’t drip off.

@gozer @AIMR @Bunny1kenobi thanks so much!

@TheMistressT thanks a bunch! That’s exactly what I want. I want them to be a little obscure. :laughing:
