Instructions

what you need:
ResinObsession resin mold - Mold 403- 11 popular jewelry shapes was used in project

EasyCast clear casting epoxy resin (part A, B)

color powder, pearl ex pigments, purple and bright gold

reusable resin measuring cups

stiring sticks

tooth picks

timer

tissues

step by step:
1. Mix EasyCast resin following manufacturer's instructions.

2. Pour small amounts of resin into 2 seperate cups to mix in the pearl colors purple and bright gold.

3. Pour the remaining clear resin into the selected mold cavities just below the top to allow for extra drops of color.

4. Use a toothpick to pick up one of the colors and drip a drop into one of the shapes anywhere.

5. Do the same with the other colors, as in step 4.

6. The drops will settle down into the resin, not just sit on top.

7. With a new toothpick and tissue in hand, swirl the colored drops around to make shaped in the clear resin. Between each swirl clean your toothpick on the tissue. You can pull the colors into each other for mixed color affect, any shape you wish, in this case swirls.

8. When satisfied with the affects, clean your area and let resin cure. Pop resin out of molds.

9. Once casting has fully cured polish and buff if you wish. Drill a hole with a rotary tool and small drill bit or small hand drill or wire wrap for a pendant, earrings or keyring.

Affordable Art: Club Monaco Launches Calder-Centric Jewelry, We Want to Become Collectors
By Roxanne Fequiere


Okay, we admit it—we're constantly adding to the list of things we absolutely must have for the upcoming season, but this definitely deserves priority, due to a stellar combination of artistry and affordability. Club Monaco, who we love for their cozy tweeds and cashmeres, is releasing twelve necklaces inspired by the mobiles of American artist Alexander Calder. The pieces are a glorious mash-up of wire and resin in whimsical shapes and patterns and we can't wait to get our hands on them, especially since the most expensive necklace tops out at $139. The visionary Calder once asked, "How can art be realized?" We're not completely sure, but we think a class in Club Monaco's mixed media might be a step in the right direction. (The Cut)
