Blend 'n Switch Earrings

I meant to post this earlier but somehow got to other projects.  The blend and switch technique is such a fun technique; it looks like a colorful jigsaw puzzle and like stained glass ( I love both doing gigantic jigsaw puzzles and stained glass!) This is a combination of two techniques. I  used  the  rainbow blend .  To get the jigsaw effect I followed blend n switch technique . The big shapes just seemed to go with this design. I put a thin layer of Judikins resin.

Blend and switch earrings completed

Yesterday I put on the jump rings for the blend and switch.  had a bit of a mishap with the Judikins resin.  The hole was too small for the jumpring, so I tried to make it bigger.  The resin around the hole cracked.  I had to peel it off and reapply it. Will post the photo in a day or two.  I still have to finish the other set - the triangular pendant and earring set.

Blend and Switch technique

This is the latest technique I've tried.  I made two long oval shapes for earrings and I really liked the shape Cindy showed us so I tried a pair of earrings with that shape too and a pendant.  It's just baked and not sanded or finished in any way.  I quite enjoyed doing it .  I loved the rainbow blend and this time I got the skinner blend right! The bold shimmery colors and huge shapes remind me of the 60's,with its bright and neon colors and go-go flowers. I'm going to wait till I receive my micro mesh pads to sand; my arms are too sore and since I'm doing physio, I don't want to aggravate it. In the meantime if you'd like to take a sneak peek at this technique video check this out blend and switch technique
