Amazing Resin Pendant

Portrait of a Lady Pendant with Jingle
Next, I layered the cast piece over a sheet of patterned paper with a girl's face printed on it. This allowed the colors to show through the clear resin. Very fun technique!
Next, I glittered a pendant frame from Coffee Break Designs and layered a background paper in the frame. I attached the face with the paper backing and added some color with Prismacolor markers. Finally, I added a simple jump ring and a satin cord (May Arts) to finish off the piece!
Have a fabulous day!!! To see more of my work visit me at Just Jingle! Thanks!

The House Rules with Amazing Casting Resin
This Wall Hanging was built on a 12"×12" black foam core base. |
I began by making my mold of the decoration on the pottery shard |
The mold came out a bit dirty so I molded a very thin piece to throw away to pick up all the dirt from the casting. |
I then added Alumilite Metallic Powder in Bronze to the mold and poured Amazing Casting Resin --white-- into the mold. Rather than pour the mold quickly, I took my time so that I could control the flow and not over-flow the bounds of my mold too quickly. |
This is a gratuitous photo of the resin quickening--it always amazes me how cool it looks when it does this! |
I left the resin in the mold until it easily pulled away from the mold, about 30 minutes. I pulled it off to this dullish bronze cast. |
I dry-brushed over the cured cast with more bronze powder and then highlighted it with Terri Sproul's Mixers in Red Satin. Those colors together match the painting I do in a later step. |
I also molded for this project a piece of crochet that I had done, and cast it with the Creative Paperclay® product DelightTM . The Delight casting was then brushed with Sakura Hobby Crafts 3D Crystal Lacquer mixed with the Alumilite Bronze Powder. The flower was then dusted with some Terri Sproul's Mixers in Red Satin to match the project. |
The MelonHeadzIllustration Digital Stamp was enlarged to 8"×7½" and printed on a piece of Basic Grey Card Stock. It was then edged with Black ink and painted in using Sakura 3D Crystal Lacquer, Bronze Powder from Alumilite and Terri Sproul's Mixers & Colored Crystal Lacquer. |
The edges of the black foam core were brushed with Sakura 3D Crystal Lacquer mixed with Alumilite Bronze Metallic Powder. The premade brown butterfly received the same treatment to help him match the elements in the project. The large casting was adhered to the foam board with E6000--as was the lace leaves, Delight flower and Butterfly. |

Amazing Mold Putty® and a Victorian Picture Frame
Wow is it just me or has it been hard for anyone else to get into the swing of a New Year? I am however rather proud of the cute little picture frame that I made using Amazing Mold Putty® and also Amazing Casting Resin®. Let me tell you something about these products, there are other brands out there but from my experience I would go for these products every time. These products are just so easy to use!! To begin with I assembled the product I planned on using:
All that you have to do is knead equal amounts of Part A and Part B together and flatten it a bit and press your $1.00 bargain picture frame into the putty.
I know you’re thinking that couldn’t really do anything special and when it’s set and you pull the frame out, it looks like this: Which is even more unappealing. Once the mold was made I mixed up equal parts of the resin along with some black dye, poured it into the mold and let it set up. It was a fun process and once it was finished I used some rub and buff to burnish the edges. I then inserted a Victorian picture that I had and covered it with Crystal Lacquer. I used some Petaloo flowers to embellish along with a ribbon for a hanger. I really like the way it turned out, what about you?
Aren’t these ladies beautiful? Do you see all the details that the Amazing Mold Putty® picked up when the picture frame was pushed into it? This stuff really is amazing and they weren’t bragging on themselves when they picked that name! lol Let me know what you think of the project please and ask any questions that you might have about it. You can find these products at Michaels stores and also Hobby Lobby.
