SPOOKtacular #Cre8time Jewels... by Lyn Gill

Hi Lyn from LynzCraftz here today sharing a DIY project combining resin and polymer clay to create a skull ring for the Amazing Casting Products and Designer Crafts Connection "SPOOKtacular Jewels" bloghop. 

I first started with some Super Sculpey Polymer Clay and handformed a few "jewel" crystal shapes; baked them per instructions, and when cooled molded them using Amazing Mold Putty.

I prepared some Amazing Clear Cast Resin combined with Alumilite Violet Dye, and some glitter flakes, then poured the "Jewels". CLICK HERE to view mixing and preparation. I set this aside to let them cure overnight.

I made a ring base and some little skulls out of more Super Sculpey, but before baking, I added one of the resin crystals to my design – don't worry items cast in Amazing Clear Cast Resin are heat tolerant at polymer clay baking temps of 275º F. 

When done shaping clay around the resin crystal, I baked the piece to cure/harden polymer. Then I painted the ring with acrylic paints, taking care not to get paint on the faux crystal.

I added some antiquing with acrylic paint to the little skulls.

Look at how the crystal looks with light shining from behind... pretty HUH?!

A true "SPOOKtacular" Jewel for your Halloween costume!
