New Resin Necklaces

After a lot of experimenting with the the resin molds, I finally finished these little charms! I'm going to bring these two to one of the local shops. Expect some to show up soon at my etsy!

This pendant contains a ladybug I found preserved in Portland as well as some tiny blue pebbles and a piece of sheet moss. It has a text backing.
