    Dog, cat, reptile, or rodent, pets can be a great source of love.  Convert your pet pix into keepsakes like these magnet sets, which were made using the Casting Technique.  We then applied super-strong magnets to the back of each one using Zap-A-Gap Superglue.  What a great gift!

  • kaleidoscopic

    At the Quilt Festival in Houston we met Jeanie, an incredible woman who has created software that turns your pix into kaleidoscope patterns.

    Traditionally used with fabrics (quilting +) and paper crafting, Jeanie’s kaleidoscope software can keep the people in your pix as the focus, or turn them into patterns.  These ones were reduced, printed on LW Special Photo Paper, then made into Little Windows pendants using both the Casting and Doming techniques!

  • beachy charm bracelet

    It’s great to see you having fun with resin!!  Check out this amazing bracelet created by Connie in Satsuma, FL.  She used the Little Windows Small Oval Photo Cropping Software to shrink and crop her pix, then used the Doming Technique (see technique video) to create these gorgeous charms.


    These beachy photos, linked in with some lovely drilled shells makes the perfect Summer Keepsake – a lightweight photo album you can wear and share!

    Thanks again for sharing your beautiful creations Connie!



  • steampunk?

    On my last trip to the Rose Bowl Flea Market I found some awesome old watches – cheap because they were broken.  I didn’t care because I just came home and cracked them open, exposing the most amazingly intricate gears and parts, still brilliant even after 40+ years.  Here are a few of the pieces I created from our finds, but I can’t decide what to make with them,  …necklaces?  …a big chunky bracelet?  …bookmarks?   hmmmm…… have any ideas?

    I used the Medium Circles Mold and layered bits and pieces in our brilliant clear resin, to create floating dimension that is altered by whatever is placed behind it.  Sort of like a window back in time :)

    And here’s a close-up of one of the pieces so you can see the awesome way each shiny gear reflects up and around the edges.

    I guess this falls in with the Steampunk trend, which is pretty popular in spots.  In case you’re interested, here’s a bit from Wikipedia that sums up this funky fashion genre:

    “Steampunk fashion (is a take on Victorian Fantasy, which) may include gowns, corsets, petticoats and bustles; suits with vests, coats and spats or military-inspired garments. Steampunk-influenced outfits will often be accented with a mixture of technological and period accessories: timepieces, parasols, goggles and ray guns. Modern accessories like cell phones or music players can be found in steampunk outfits, after being modified to give them the appearance of Victorian-made objects. You’ll also see the influence in neo-Victorianism, and the romantic goth subculture.”



  • cast photo circles necklace

    This is an awesome gift for any mom, made with the Medium-size Circles Mold, some sterling link chain, and some fancy accents I found at my local bead shop.  Follow the basic instructions for Casting, and add as many Little Windows as there are kids.  She’ll love to show off her little ones, and your creation!
