RESIN JEWELLERY - care instructions
- Don’t expose me to prolonged sunlight, alcohol-based products and chemicals including, perfume, hairspray, sunscreen, soaps, hand sanitisers and cosmetics.
- Take me off before doing any gardening, dishwashing, swimming, or showering. Do Not submerge your jewellery pieces in water. Resin is only water resistant, not waterproof.
- Please don't use any antiseptic gels while wearing resin rings. The high alcohol content will affect the resin and degrade it over time.
- If I need a clean please wipe me with a damp soft cloth and buff with a little oil to restore sheen.
- Store me away from sunlight to preserve colour and flora.
After spending 20 years in the corporate world, Liat was surprised to find that becoming a mother brought out her creative side; and rather than returning to IT Project Management as her children grew older she turned her hobby into her work.
Liat creates all of the Little Hurricane Co. lines in her home studio and works with environmentally sound materials, such as eco-resin, which is a petroleum free, bio-based product.
Liat often collects the botanicals from her garden or from the bush on the outskirts of the city and then carefully presses and dries each one, ready to be preserved into delicate, ephemeral, wearable art. Each piece is meticulously crafted and can take 5-7 days to make from start to finish – from the foraging, to the casting, to the moulding, to the final polish.
On the weekends, Liat can more often than not be found showcasing her work at handmade and design markets around Victoria and interstate.
She loves nothing more than chatting to people about turning their precious flora – and therefore their memories - into customised jewellery; especially when it comes to working with bridal bouquets.
“I'm amazed every day to be doing what I do now and I feel lucky that I can.”...If you have an idea or would like to discuss a bridal bouquet preservation, don’t be shy! You can contact Liat Here
