Easy Cast Resin on polymer clay pendant

I'm experimenting with Easy Cast resin I had bought from Michaels on a couple of blue morpho butterfly wing pendants.  So far I've tried Ultra Dome and Judikins Flux Enameling Resin.  Will post the photos when they're done.

Blend and switch earrings completed

Yesterday I put on the jump rings for the blend and switch.  had a bit of a mishap with the Judikins resin.  The hole was too small for the jumpring, so I tried to make it bigger.  The resin around the hole cracked.  I had to peel it off and reapply it. Will post the photo in a day or two.  I still have to finish the other set - the triangular pendant and earring set.

Faux Dichroic

I made this pendant with the faux dichroic glass technique.  It was so much fun.  I have done actual fused dichroic glass and it's beautiful but with this I could eliminate cutting glass, grinding it and using the hot kiln! Polymer clay is so amazing!!! I used a stamp for the design and Judikins fluxe enameling resin. I think I would have got a more domed effect using Ultra dome. I used a cord and made it an adjustable necklace. If you'd like to learn about this technique check it out here faux dichroic glass

 

Blue morpho butterfly cane pendant

Just got back from NY.  We had a really fabulous trip.  This pendant was made with some left over cane from the blue morpho butterfly cane tutorial. Here's the link to the tutorial for you to check out. blue morpho butterfly cane

I think I should have gone a bit longer with the skinner blend , got it a bit more blended. quick tear drop skinner blend

However, I quite like how it turned out.  The pearly blues and green has quite a pretty lustre.  I baked sanded and buffed it and then used Judikin's Fluxe Enameling Resin. It's in powder form and easy to use but can be a bit messy.  I only have a small bottle of Ultra Dome Resin so I used the Judikins resin
