The jewelry of April Hiler Designs is not a newcomer to the Nunn Design Blog. We have previously featured her beautiful resin jewelry and I’m sure it won’t be the last time we do so. April’s artisan feature is created using some of the newest findings from Nunn Design. Her love for embedding organics into […]
This tutorial was inspired by the look of dendritic quartz and dendritic agates. What is so fun about this technique can also cause some resin creators a little anxiousness. There are no two pieces that will look just alike! If you are looking to exploring resin, then this technique is just up your alley. How to mix and […]

I was curious about how to create more of a reflective quality in my resin pieces. By applying a layer of Epoxy Clay and embedding Mica Flakes prior to pouring the colorized resin into the bezel allowed for a more reflective pop to the resin. Once the resin has cured, the resin is gently sanded […]
I am thrilled with how these pieces look! I knew I had a winner when we were asked over and over again, “do you also sell the stones.” This look really has a high-end feel, yet is fairly simple to execute. I want to provide full disclosure with this tutorial. The samples in the above […]
What I love about the techniques that we offer here at Nunn Design, is that even the simplest of techniques can look fabulous! That is the case for this simple technique. While exhibiting at the Tucson To Bead True Blue Show, this technique was one of the most asked about pieces (“is this for sale…?”) […]
I must confess, I really have to work hard at using color. If you have ever met me, you would have witnessed that I wear primarily black (okay, occasionally royal blue). There are a variety of reasons for this, one of them being that I’m just not as fluent as I would like to be […]
At first I was interested in finding ways to use excess resin prior to it hardening in the mixing cup. After a while, I found that I was mixing resin just to explore additional techniques! This tutorial was the result of Team Nunn’s creative exploration during one of the quarterly Nunn Design Artdays. Supplies Needed: […]

Knotting has been something I have been wanting to master. Seems like a basic skill, but I don’t have it down…yet. In the past, I became overwhelmed when it came time to figure out what type of thread and what type of needles I needed to purchase in order to move forward. I sat down […]
When a new collection releases into the world, it is always exciting to see how different artists make the findings their own. Nuby, of Colorful Blossom, is not a new artisan to be featured on the Nunn Design Blog. Her work is very admired by many and it is our pleasure to feature her pieces […]

After discovering James Clear’s online newsletter 6 months ago, I was already convinced that I would enjoy his then pending book, Atomic Habits. His writing focuses on how we can live better lives through creating better habits and making better decisions.
