This is a post from the DQFE.com Blog about ResinObsession Resin Bangle Jewelry Mold:

Cindy with ResinObsession shows how she measures the Resin Bangle mold. Measuring this way will allow you to see if the bangle will fit. Many have been disappointed that the large resin bangle mold has produced a bangle that is too small. Now you can see if it will fit before buying. ResinObsession is working on an extra large Resin Bangle Mold to be released later this year. Artistic creation is…

Hi, Just a little update, the extra large Resin Bangle Mold has been released. It’s mold # 414 and it’s extra chunky for putting more embedments. Best Wishes, Cindy

How to make Resin Jewelry with a Swirly effect.

Resin Jewelry with a Swirly effect.

Project submitted by MonikaRose

http://monikarosecrochets.blogspot.com/

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.

Monika doesn't have resin in her Etsy store yet but you might want to see her other fun stuff http://monikarose.etsy.com/

Silicone Resin Ring Molds are here! Want to be one of the first to have one?

Finally! The first of the bubble ring molds are here! Would you like to be one of the first to have one? You can find a couple on Etsy and a couple on eBay under the ResinObsession name.

They may be a little tricky to begin with but I think they will be well worth the effort. You will want to warm the molds slightly, a heat gun, microwave or toaster oven will do. Squeeze the molds when filling to give you a little wider opening. Once filled about half way, roll the resin around to avoid trapping any air bubbles. You can use craft stick or a pair of tweezers that opens when pinched to make the opening wider when filling with resin. Once filled to the top lay a piece of glass over the top, this way when the resin has cured you can just snap off the flashing. Or if you prefer once the casting has cured and there is an indentation from the shrinkage add a little bit of resin to fill in so you don't have to do any sanding.

The red and pink rings in the photos are samples.

I hope you have fun with the molds. There are more to come!

ResinObsession Starter Kit Computer Person

I've started a Family! If you know me you might think this is a little odd, but ... ok.... it's not a real family.... It's COMPUTER FAMILY!!!! YAAA! WHOOO! I've smashed up old computer boards, twisted off mother board parts and taken screws that held it all together and embed them all in resin. I've taken the heart shape, small teardrop, large teardrop and large oblong from the ResinObsession Starter Kit mold and put them together in a whimsical way to resemble a Computer Person pin, magnet or tack.

If you decide to make a Computer Person, send me a pic for a Computer Person Family get together. Enjoy!

Resin Jewelry Bangle slip on easier

Zoe from Australia has a great trick for putting on the smaller bangles.. put a plastic shopping bag over your hand them slip on the bangle. Thanks for the tip Zoe!

I know the smaller bangles made from the 415 mold are difficult to put on but the new 390 mold is slightly larger and might work for some that the 415 didn't.

Happy Holidays!

Bubble ring molds waiting unveiling- holding my breath

I finally got all the components I needed for the Bubble Ring Silicone Molds. I made the first batch today...I feel like a new Mother waiting to give birth, I'm so nervous. I hope they work. I've tried so many other ways to make bubble ring molds that just didn't work. The ones from the vacuum mold I couldn't get it out of the mold, which after I made it, it was one of those DAH moments. Well I'm caught... time to be wife and watch a movie. Cindy
