I prefer to use epoxy resin, but sometimes uv resin is the way to go. Like this week, when I finally tried the uv bubble technique. For those who don't know, you use soap bubbles on wet uv resin and then use a uv lamp to pop the bubbles and dry the resin, leaving a bubbly impression in the resin. You then use mica powder on it, and back it with black. I have used this mica powder before, but not with the black backing. It makes a real difference. Here is the stitch update Until next time Ems
Crafting is not perfect, and mistakes are (regularly) made. It is a learning process. So, in the spirit of learning, here is the mistake I made this week. I wanted to do some dirty pours with the last of my resin. The mistake? Using a mixture of tints and mica powders. cos mica powders are heavier, so they sank through the tints in the mould. As you can see, the gold has overpowered everything. They still look good, just not the image I had in mind. Here is the update on the stitch Until next time Ems
