Green and Brown resin pour

this one is 16 x 16 

Red Resin Pour

I think this one is 16 x 16

I like the feathering of the colors

there is red and gold glitter suspended in the resin

lol..........  this one had some inclusions in it that were not deliberately put in there
some lint or something that looked like a hair, probably cat hair

any way using the dremmel, I drilled out the unwanted extra's which of course left scuffed spots and messed up spots on the piece

but, the beauty of resin is that if you pour another layer it will cover up the places that you fix

2 small resin pours

These are small 

approx size is 6 in. x 8 in.

It was hard for me to get a flow going trying to do a small board with stones

it might have been easier doing a small board if you are only doing colored resin
or resin mixed with glitter

A different pour experiment

this one was done using clear glue.  The lady doing the youtube video claimed this was a way to get a resin pour without the high cost of buying resin.  Not even close to me.


I mixed gold, green and silver glitter in the glue
Also used were stones, broken 1/2 gem marbles in different colors and mother of pearl pieces

I made this one on a piece of luan wood.  It soaked up the glue and started to separate into layers around a couple of places on the edge of the wood.  Probably would have worked better on birch.  But the luan was too thin.

I don't like that the glue flattened out so much.  I like how resin stands up and your inclusions can be seen thru the resin.

Resin Art #5 - Mermaid

I used alcohol inks for the colors on her body
there is silver, gold and rose copper foil on her tail
a silver star glitter on the star
her face has a mica flake glitter on it
Her hair was poured with resin that contained several colors of mica powder

Resin Art #4 - Serving Tray

I drew the white, silver and gold lines with Japanese Paint Pens

Posco markers in case you want to google them

there is some silver foil under the silver and orange Pearl Ex portions

lots of different glitters

and the other colors were created with Mica Powders

The silver and the gold in the corners is large flake glitter from Michael's

Resin Pour #3

I used what I call peacock colors for this one

This piece is 16 x 16

Alcohol Inks were mixed into the resin along with glitter
The glitter color matched the alcohol ink color

Broken 1/2 gem marbles and golden mosaic glass was also used
Silver alcohol ink was added to the middle of the picture

After the initial pour dried I brushed on clear resin to the piece

Resin Geode Art #2

11 x 12

this one was made the same as the other one - 

except I did not use any mica powder or acrylic paint mixed into the resin 

I mixed a large quantity of 2 part resin.  It was divided into several smaller cups.
Then colored glitter was added to the resin cups.

after pouring all the colors, I added blue alcohol ink to the center and pulled it thru the center and out to some of the other rings

in the sun

Resin Art #1 - Turquoise/Blue/Gray Geode - Experiment in Resin

in the sun




board was prepped by roughly painting a geode
white/light blue/medium blue and dark blue areas
100% silicone was caulked on to create a dam around each color
3" Scotch Tape was put around the edges of the board to create a border

resin was mixed per package
each cup received the 2 parts of resin - glitter - mica powder and some received acryllic paint
I used 5 cups and made 5 colors of resin/glitter - light silver, light blue, Turquoise blue, Dark Blue and a dark gray
1/2 gem marbles that had been cracked (heated then cooled) were broken up

starting at the center, I poured the lightest resin and added some of the broken 1/2 gem marbles
In the very center I added silver leaf foil and worked it into the resin with a craft stick
resin was added to the entire piece - from light to dark resin
the gray was worked into each section

there are several colors of 1/2 gem marbles on the piece
also, there are several different colors of glitter that was sprinkled on after all the resin was poured

I liked my first attempt at using resin.  I'm looking forward to my next piece.

Sea Glass and shell mosaic

I found this trivet at a garage sale

It was originally going to be used in a table wreath, but then I decided I didn't want to take up the counter space for it to sit on



Here it is with all the tesserae put on
There will be no grout
I painted the board with metallic glitter paint and sprinkled on extra silver glitter



After taking it outside for the above photo, I thought the trivet looked boring


I pulled out my collection of Vintaj Patina paints for metal

and added some color to the trivet


I like it better and it seems to blend with the other colors better
