Origins

In 2000 Melissa Loden started working at the bead store Fusion Beads in Wallingford, WA. There she developed her skills at the bead loom, box stitch weaving and the peyote stitch beading. Within her tenth year at Fusion Beads Melissa was introduced to resin ^[2]. She began experimenting with resin and the different applications thereof and found that using resin is a “great way to trap glitter” ^[2]. On March 10, 2009 Melissa joined the craft site Etsy.com, with her shop Resin by M.G. Loden ^[3]. She creates different shapes of buttons, pendants, belt buckles, earrings and rings. Some of the buttons and pendants are made with glow-in-the-dark and ‘black-light friendly’ pigments. Resin by M.G.Loden buttons are sold in over 20 yarn shops throughout Washington and Montana.

Recent activity

In February of 2011 the founder of Resin by M.G. Loden , Melissa Loden, went to the Tucson Bead Show with her business as a first attempt to get her name out into the art community ^[4]. Later 2011 Melissa was asked to speak at the Northwest Bead Society on June 16, 2011^[5]. Melissa spoke about her skills with box weaving and her current love of resin. Melissa also teaches classes at Fusion Beads and works there part time.
