Resin Pendant Clownfish Necklace!

Sep08
2011 Written by BenFTW

I came up with the idea of this necklace a while ago as an anniversary present for my girlfriend, (around April) and it has taken until now to read up on how to make it and to ACTUALLY make it. The original concept was a necklace pendant that looked like a fish in a bag, but that proved to be almost impossible to make right. I got a little discouraged halfway through when the bag idea didn’t work, but I redesigned it and kept on rolling along. I’m extremely happy with the final result!

If you’d like to make your own, you can check out how I made it here on Instructables!

Once again if you want to see the how it was made pictures, or how to make your own… Go here!

Two versions.

What started as a project in film class has now turned into what my friend (Cameron Casey) and I are now calling “Runner Productions.” I’ve made the logo for our “company,” and I plan to animate it soon and post it. We are now in the planning process for our short films, which should be made and released during or right after the summer.

Speaking of short films, here is what started it all:

It has no plot. No planning. About five hours of effort put into it. Enjoy!

Snazzy New Banner

Comparison Image

This is the beginning of well made website banners (No future ones are planned), but in the past all of them have been drawn in Photoshop, and they just didn’t look quite as good as they could have.

But today is a new day! I had one of those drawn banners up, and it did look nice, but I decided to learn how to use Illustrator and the improvements are stunning. I made the background in Photoshop, recycling most of yesterday’s background except for the flower. I replaced the flower with a real sunburst! It looks loads better.

For those that don’t know: Adobe Illustrator is a vector drawing program. The drawings you make are infinitely scalable; they can be resized as large as you like.

While my site did say it was under construction for several months after it went down, I would have to say, that meant absolutely nothing! I have tried to re-design it several times, but nothing has really worked out. I think I will try to pretty solidly stick to using themes for now.. Anyways! The site is back! I plan on going back to posting nice little snippets of interesting whatever. But better than before! I’ll begin with these pumpkin carving pictures to start it off nicely.

**EDIT** I was way too excited about Tron when I wrote this bottom half. So I took it out. All you need to know is that is a light cycle from Tron Legacy on the pumpkin!
