Thanks for your interest in the findings and supplies I use in my how-to videos!

I have discovered that I am better suited to showing folks how to make things than I am at running an inventory-based business. With my own art business to look after, making sure I always had stock of supplies as well wasn't working for my customers or me.

So, I have shifted the focus of goldensupplyco.com to something that I think will work a little better for everyone who wants to try making what I make.

I get 2 questions more than any other: Where can I get the findings you use in your videos? and Do you sell the graphics you use in your videos?

With that (and my own struggles with being a supplier) in mind, I have decided that you folks would be better served if I point you in the right direction for findings and such than waiting on me to fill your orders. I will also be making downloadable printable PDFs of selected graphic sets available for purchase here on goldensupplyco.com. If you don't have access to a printer, you can purchase printed sheets of graphics in the Golden Supply Co. Etsy shop.

So... here we go! I look forward to helping you make stuff. Please check below for links to suppliers and to my graphics and such as they beome available.

Golden Supply Co. grew out John's attempts to share some of what he has learned with others. In that spirit, we have established a section here to share with you the sources we have found along the way that might sometimes be in a better position to meet your supply needs. We've got a lot of your bases covered here when it comes to pendants, rings and such, but we can't carry every product you might need.

We also want to use this section to point you to some of the great people and places on the web that like to share and encourage others to know what it feels like to make something.

The Video That Started It All!
   

In May 2008, I filmed myself creating my graphic rings and pendants, for the purposes of making a resin tutorial that would help visual folks like myself get a
feel for what it is like to work with resin. I also hoped it might encourage some folks to be creative.

The response has been amazing! Lots of people have watched the video and many have contacted me with kind words. So sharing has been very rewarding.

 
   
Below are examples of what I make. I use resin, but you could use cabochons, glass, polymer clay, maybe even precious metal clay.
   
Graphic Rings
 

Similar to photo jewelry, these rings are made using graphics that I create that are placed in the deep-welled silver plated ring blanks and covered with 2 coats of EasyCast resin.

These rings are deep enough to embed objects in the resin if you are of such a mind :)

 
   
Graphic/Photo Pendants
 

Similar to the graphic rings, the pendants use my graphics and altered photos. Only one coat of resin is necessary when using the pewter and silver plated pewter pendants. Some embedding would be possible with this depth of resin.

If you use the deep-welled silver plated pendants, two coats of resin are recommended.
