Astonishing New Resin Technique I Discovered By Accident!

Тәжірибелік нұсқаулар және стиль

When I discovered this technique using resin and metal foil, I was astonished. It happened by accident and a most pleasant accident it was. It is so easy to do and I am surprised I had not thought about doing it before.

    This is great. Tip maybe? Cover the mushroom head first then use the tape to clean off the dots? That way you use less leaf.

    You can a very similar design by using metallic mica on details and removing excess will isopropanol and a cotton wool cue tip . Then adding a different mica . Cheaper easier less messy and just as good results but still their very nice. I'm into free form bowls right now and people love them

    Am addicted to glitter, foil and holographic cellophane, almost in that order. Have been looking for more foil to use and I think you have given me the link I have been looking for. Have so much in makeup brushes from various times people have gifted me with makeup sets, and I can't do it as they have castor oil in them and yeah, allergic. Also learning that I can have gold in pieces, just the findings can be the silver. Due to my own allergies to gold unless it's the high grade gold and not plated, I welt and/or what it touches turns bright red. So all my stuff is done in silver, plus, it doesn't take away from the piece itself, at least that's how I see it. Thank you Steve, for another great idea to work on.
