I’m spending a lot of my time lately getting ready to launch Retro Resin in the shop, but I’m definitely still also very focused on my regular vintage shop activities.
I don’t know if i'm unconsciously out looking for vintage resin, or that it is the universe bringing it to me at this time, but on my latest treasure hunt I came across this wonderful bunch of vintage resin flowers.
I remember as a young girl having a small resin paper weight with a real seahorse embedded in the clear resin. I wish i still had it. Will have to be on the lookout for a similar piece. Will find it someday. I did find this round paperweight with flowers embedded inside.
I might list it in the shop at some point, but for now it stays here with me. Retro Resin inspiration on my desk.
And for more resin inspiration, my treasure hunt also brought me several early 1970s vintage craft magazines, in them a few great resin articles and advertisements. 
Article on how to make resin paperweights with small items embedded. 
The Art of Embedding, Capture Memories crystal clear with American Handicrafts supplies.
A gift only you can give ... something you've made. Buy a gallon of Clear Cast resin, get a mold for free.
I'm going to list some vintage goodies in the shop now, and prepare to add the first pieces of Retro Resin later this week!

Can't wait to see what you've made. I love those flowers!
Thank you!
There are some more photos of finished pieces on the Retro Resin facebook page if you like to see.
