Discovering new crafts in Japan

I have done crafts of many kinds, ever since I was a little girl. My house was always full of beads, string, paint, and fabric. My mom would steal ideas from craft shows and magazines, and I would try things out with her and my friends. I was never really good at any of it until I was in my 20s, and started to have more patience in my work. I make a lot of jewelry right now, but sometimes I have to make a peice several times before it's perfect.
Recently, I dove into a new craft that I found here in Japan, making pendants out of metal and resin.
I'd seen resin work before but it's not as easy to do in America as it is to do here in Japan. The pendant pictured was my first one, and even though the paper got a little faded, I'm quite pleased with how it turned out. I even got my hands on a bat mold! Not sure how I'm going to get a hole in it to make it into a keychain, but I love a good challenge!
I haven't showed off my work yet to my friends in America because I think I might make them pendants for Christmas.
