It is hard for me to know how much to mix up at a time, but I am learning. My new line of pendants uses these as the back. I let the resin sit up a bit to become thicker so that it doesn't slide off the glass tiles (I will send you a picture of my prototypes). I was delighted to find that the resin is not affected by the heat of my soldering iron! I haven't been floating anything in it, but I plan to use one of my SLK bezels to suspend a solitary mustard seed as a pendant for an artist friend who understands that symbolism. I will let you know how it goes! But I truly love your unique pendants and will have to order them when I get a chance!simplybeadifulhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01983278003740308898noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5157095593736922566.post-12295812394683422932008-10-19T06:18:00.000-04:002008-10-19T06:18:00.000-04:00Wonderful post about resin.

That's Minnesota. I added wild rice to the resin. It cured beautifully. I only wish I had a photo of the charms to show you.

One thing that concerns me is that the ICE resin says that it "domes" and magnifies. Does it always do that? I do love the fact that it stays clear though and can't wait to try it. It would be great if there was a small try-me size. I have so many irons in the fire now, it's hard to try everything I'd like to. But this sounds like a lot of fun.gaelahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06808941606042381327noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5157095593736922566.post-40400035039036065242008-10-18T18:38:00.000-04:002008-10-18T18:38:00.000-04:00I have some resin waiting to be used.

I'm curious if polymer clay could be used inside of resin.

I would be curious about that so please blog if there is.<BR/>I love when things look 3-d so I would maybe add a "sealed" piece of paper behind all of it? Its hard to not pick an overwhelming pattern though. (Seal the paper with glue, front and back otherwise it could get a greasy look from seepage.)<BR/>And pour either two pours or wait a bit and add the tree and such so it doesn't go to the back of the bezel.<BR/>Bad things - resin that isn't mixed properly so its always soft but now there is a product to "undo" I hear.<BR/>Bad thing 2 - bubbles but those hot air or a blowdryer/heat gun can help eliminate right after the pour (15 minutes or less depending on resin type).<BR/>Bad thing 3 - mixing the WRONG colorant with the resin - ugh!<BR/>Hope all that helps...Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5157095593736922566.post-24675979966638653982008-10-18T13:27:00.000-04:002008-10-18T13:27:00.000-04:00I have not worked with it.

It's important, as you pointed out, to get the right kind of resin to use. Such a great step-by-step, thanks for sharing!LLYYNN - Lynn Davishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11538418994323990630noreply@blogger.com
