thanks but what that liquid you used in the begining is it a glue??

[Beadaholique]

It is resin.

I just tried making a resin pendant and the resin got all puffy and sticky and impossible to pour. Any idea why?

[Beadaholique]

Was it extremely hot on the day you tried to pour? I have only had that reaction when it was very hot and humid and my resin started to cure before I could even pour it. My other thought is that somehow too much hardener was mixed in.

how do you make a round ball with an embedded object inside?

[Beadaholique]

I am not exactly sure how to make a round ball with an embedded object inside, I am sorry.

Some cloudiness does happen sometimes with molds. If the resin which is not touching the mold is perfectly clear, I don't think it is a matter of your mixing or temperature. One of our artists here uses a lot of molds and he recommends painting a layer of clear nail polish over the cloudiness, he says it works great. Try this on a sample piece or a discreet location.

try to make contrast using dark background in the table

Thanks. I actually figured out I got a quick cure resin. You have 45 seconds to mix and pour in the mold and within 10 minutes its unmoldable. I got a slower cure resin since and things have gone much smoother

I love this bangle. Really great work.

Hi! I have seen other people preserve a full flower in resin but I am honestly not sure how to do it. I have experimented with painting the resin onto the flower and what ends up happening is the flower folds and loses its shape. I have also tried dipping the flower with the same result. My best guess, and it is only a guess, is that they have found a way to stiffen the flower first (perhaps a spray) and then they paint the resin on. Best of luck and I hope you figure it out!
