Lara Jayne, the talented artist behind LaraJayne_Design, has always been deeply connected to the world of art and creativity. From a young age, she was drawn to crafting and painting, nurturing her passion through years of studying Art and Design. However, it was in 2020 that Lara’s artistic journey truly transformed — leading her into the mesmerizing world of epoxy resin and eventually to a collaboration with Craft Resin.

Discovering the World of Epoxy Resin

Lara’s introduction to epoxy resin stemmed from her desire to add a glossy, protective finish to her alcohol ink paintings. Despite initial hesitations, the allure of resin’s shiny, glass-like surface was impossible to resist. After months of contemplation, she finally decided to experiment with resin by creating a simple set of coasters. This experience was nothing short of transformative — Lara was instantly captivated by the possibilities of resin art.

A New Chapter: Preserving Precious Memories with Craft Resin

As Lara’s expertise with resin expanded, so did her creative ambitions. What began as a hobby soon evolved into a meaningful endeavor — preserving precious flowers in resin. This delicate art form demands precision and skill, but for Lara, the results are well worth the effort.

Working with flowers in resin is no simple task, but the introduction of Craft Resin’s Deep Pour epoxy resin was a turning point for Lara. This specialized resin has made the preservation process more accessible, enabling her to encapsulate flowers in a way that preserves their beauty for years to come.
