You can approach working with resin in two different ways. The first approach is to dive right in and get started while receiving mixed results. The trial and error approach wears thin after awhile and it is easy to hit the place of being “done” with using resin. I often hear people say, “It just […]

I have to admit I got a little carried away with this tutorial. My intentions were good (of course!). What I really wanted to communicate is how you can create a pendant using a certain step-by-step technique, yet have the pendants look so incredibly different from pendant to pendant. Sometimes creating can be challenging. There […]
