loved taking pictures ever since. Naturally, most of my photographs are inspired by nature. I was inspired to make some of my photos into jewelry while trying to come up with an idea of what to get my sister for her birthday. She and I often get each other jewelry as presents, and I was looking for a unique piece to give her. She loved it, and I had so much fun making it that I just kept making more! To make the jewelry, I crop and resize the photos to fit each piece. After sealing the photos to protect them and to preserve the colors, I cover them with a high quality resin which cures to a glass-like finish. Just like glass, the resin might get smudges or finger prints on it over time. This is easily remedied by simply wiping clean with a lint-free cloth.
