This design started out simply with the desire to coat some Lillypilly copper sheets in resin. I had seen this technique done in Tucson and I knew I had to try it out for myself. I chose a pretty embossed copper sheet with red wine patina, set it down into a rectangular bezel, and then poured a nice layer of resin on top. Then I just stared at it for a couple days until the design came to me. I went with an Chinese theme and played off the bamboo design in the copper sheet and the bamboo design in the Vintaj stamping. To pull it all together I added Palace Green SWAROVSKI ELEMENTS flat backs and a Nunn Design bee. The name of the necklace is Taikang Road which is a little artist street in Shanghai that I thoroughly enjoyed shopping this past December.
