And I have hit a few problems, but resin is so much fun these problems have not discouraged my jewelry making plans! I'm not sure what's happening, but most of my new batches are not curing correctly. My mixing ratios are probably off; it would really help if I had a small digital scale to weigh out the resin when I mixed it instead of eyeballing it. I'll just keep on keeping on and see what happens.
Here are some successes! (And some adorable failures)
Most of these have completely cures, but a couple are still sticky.
The stuff I typically have made in the past...
I must credit Johnny for this idea...
Sprinkles!
I totally stole this idea while cruising Etsy.com to check out the competition. Most resin sellers make these, and they sell! So why not.
The objects you see embedded are little thingies I have made out of polymer clay. It's super easy to work with; I've been playing around with it since I was 11 or 12, and I have a whole bunch I have been lugging around with me. It acutally works amazingly well with the resin, and I am glad to have finally found a purpose for it!
This is a little polymer clay strawberry I embedded in a big heart, and it didn't cure correctly.
