It's time to get the recipe book out again today and use a tried and tested recipe - Let's revisit "How to turn modern into Vintaj".
This resin piece was a contradiction in styles - classical cameo cast in modern lime green - beautiful, yet ugly!

But, add a few choice ingredients - a beautiful filigree stamping and some coordinating glass beads - and well, the proof is in the pudding, so to speak.

This piece definitely doesn't fit into the classical category either but it
is a lovely shape and it's faceted so it catches the light as it moves. I think it will definitely benefit from the "How to turn modern into Vintaj" recipe.
