Project #217 – Metal Barrettes

Sunday, August 30th, 2009

Continuing my new found love of epoxy, I made some barrettes out of metal stampings that I bought waaay back in February during MLK weekend. I had plans to make one really complex thing out of all of my leaves, but I couldn’t figure it out aesthetically. I guess that leaves me free to make lots of little things.

To test out the strength of my new favorite glue I wore this barrette to the water park. It survived six water slides, three rounds of the wave pool and one frantic lazy river swim and went home intact.
