Lost In NYC Ring
About this design:
I have several vintage images of New York City from a desk calendar. I used a portion of this map as the backdrop for the ring. I coiled up wire to represent how we got lost in NYC and straightened it out at the end with an amber bead to mark our destination.
What you’ll need: (buy products below)
- 1 Ring Bezel
- Lima Studios 2-part Resin Kit
- vintage map image
- 1 round 4mm bead
- 4" 24 guage wire
Additional Images:
Step-by-Step Instructions:
|
Step 1: It is really important to seal your paper before you pour the resin. Once the paper has been sealed, you can pour your resin layering in the wire and bead. |
