#Cre8time Jewels... AMAZING Art Nouveau Jewelry by Lyn Gill

Hi everyone! Lyn from LynzCraftz here with a somewhat surprising project today... jewelry! I wanted to reproduce a rather complex piece of jewelry I had just created – but this time using only resin. 

First off I'll share the original piece of jewelry I created...

Created all from polymer clay and inspired by the Designer René Lalique is unfortunately rather heavy – so I thought why not create one from Amazing Casting Resin?

First I started with the frame – I created the frame in polymer clay, baked it, then used Amazing Mold Putty to create a mold so I can reproduce in either polymer or resin {or even chocolate}. CLICK HERE to view how quick and easy moldmaking is using Amazing Mold Putty.

Then I prepared a batch of Amazing Casting Resin, poured it and let it cure {CLICK HERE to view mixing and preparation}. 

I repeated the same steps in creating a mold for the faux glass section, and this time using Amazing Clear Cast Resin with a bit of Alumilite Dye swirled in.

Looking good so far, right?

Now I can change it up. This pendant frame uses Alumilite Metallic Powder in Silver brushed into the mold before I poured Amazing Casting Resin.

For this one I decided to paint the frame a rich yummy Bronze. I love the different finishes that can be achieved this way. The look of clear or frosted glass especially comes across so nicely. This was such a fun project... I'm looking forward to the next one!

What combos could you think of?

Well that's it for today – thank you so much for stopping by... 
Till Next Time! ~ Lyn

#Cre8time Alterations... DIY Thrift Store Frame Redux by Lyn Gill

Hi all! Lyn Gill here again for with a DIY project – an Altered Framed Owl. I bought this frame at the thrift storeand it was a worn, scratched yellow color, and very unattractive. By just using some Amazing Casting Resin, black Gesso, crackle glaze and metallic acrylic paint I was able to completely transform it.

I decided to use some Amazing Casting Resin to create the Owl using an Amazing Mold Putty mold I created for a previous project... Oooo I can see it coming along nicely.

I used the black Gesso and Crackle Glaze in it as well as some Gold Leaf Flakes & the Metallic Acrylic Paint... WOW did it transform this thrift store frame!

I can't wait to hang it in my Craft Studio!

I do have a love for all things metallic... LOL.

What kinds of thrift store finds could

you alter with Amazing Casting Resin?

Well thank you so much for joining me today

Forget the RULES! AMAZING Inspiration by DeeDee Catron

Hey Folks! DeeDee here today to INSPIRE you! First of all... remember last month when I used a No-Gelatin AMAZING MOLD RUBBER plate to create my background? I did it again this month! The background on my project was inked, misted, splattered, and gessoed all on the Amazing Mold Rubber plate, and then transferred to patterned paper. 

But really today is more about me telling you to forget the rules, baby! Now don't get me wrong, when it comes to resin and specifically calculated measurements and components, let's stick with the correct #s; 1:1 ratio for Amazing Casting Resin and Amazing Clear Casting Resin, etc. What I'm talking about is when it comes to making and filling a mold. 

Today specifically I'm demonstrating on only partially filling a mold. Not a double pour, or triple pour, or anything like that, but a single PARTIAL pour. Check out this tag in a trio I recently did: 

I really specifically wanted my vintage frame to look... well... VINTAGE. I wanted it to be distressed and weathered metal, sure, but I also REALLY wanted it to be BROKEN. So I dusted my mold with Alumilite Gunmetal Metallic Powder (incidentally this is an Amazing Mold Putty mold)  and mixed up my Amazing Casting Resin. As soon as my resin was completely mixed, I lightly coated the mold by pouring super slowly, while avoiding the spot that you can see missing. As the resin stared to cure in my cup I poured more, because it was thicker and flashing already, I was able to control exactly where it went. 

Hope this broadens your resin horizons! Join me on my own 

blog to see more projects of my own! ♥DeeDee
