I have been working for several weeks on a few different resin pieces. I have viewed a few DVD lessons that include resin pieces in them. I have also read two jewelry books featuring resin designs. One of my favorite resin jewelry books is the new Kristen Robinson’s Tales of Adornment. You can link to this book through the Amazon widget on the right-hand side of this page; or link to my review of this book on Amazon here.
I purchased two-part Ice Resin. I used packing tape to seal the back of an open bezel as directed. I have tried two different types of packing tape. Both have led to the back leaking resin.
I have been having an extremely frustrating time with it and have had to use Attack on it several times to remove the resin and begin again. This is a big pain because the resin takes 2-3 days to fully cure.
The only thing that seems to be working for me is using the resin to make a really cool effect on paper. I have used Holy Card images, coating them in the ice resin with a sponge and letting them dry overnight.

Keep trying you'll get it!! I love that holy card image too. Also I just noticed your little book recommendation on the right. How did you do that? Through Amazon? I have the book Rejuvenated Jewels and love it!! I thought I might be able to use something like you have for Mary's Graces blog reading list.
ReplyDeleteOK I just found the widget on Amazon will add it to Mary's Graces later.......
ReplyDeleteI am happy you figured it out! I was going to email you.
