Resin Bubble Ring Jewelry Molds Dome Ring Moulds Instructions

The yellow ring is just a finished sample for picture purposes, not included with mold.

They may be a little tricky to begin with but I think they will be well worth the effort. The silicone molds are made from a tin silicone that has a long shelf life and tough enough for many pulls. The molds are handmade by me.

Fill the bottom half rolling the resin around to avoid trapping any air bubbles. You may want to wrap with a rubber band to close the slit in the plug a little more. You will need this slit to remove the ring from the mold. Set aside and let cure to a gel stage. You will have a little bit of flashing from the slit when you remove the casting that can be easily snapped off.The top bubble part of the mold can be filled in layers and embedded with goodies.
Once the top and bottom have reached the gel stage apply a small amount of resin to the castings and join the two halves.
Or you can rubberband together and pour resin in the pour holes which is a little more advanced technique. Take the casting out of the mold once it has started to harden as this will produce a shiner casting if it doesn't touch anything while finishing to cure.

Use dish soap and water to clean your molds. Use rubbing alcohol to remove fingerprints and such. Mix and pour the casting material according to manufacturer's instructions. After the cast has hardened completely, slowly peel the mold from the cast. Work around all the edges before pulling up the middle sections. After a cast is made, be sure to thoroughly clean the mold ( removing any casting residue or release agent) before storing. Store silicone molds in a clean, dry location, embed a rigid mother mold cast if possible to hold the molds shape. This prevents the mold from distorting or warping over time.

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!

Does your red pigment run? Hairspray catches it!

I have a tip to share from 2shawboys. Thanks!

I just tried something and it works, so I'm passing it on. When sealing paper/photos with modge podge, the red pigment always runs, but today I tried spraying my image with hairspray and blow dried it before I coated it with modge podge. This worked beautifully! Big hair may be "out" but there is always a use for hairspray and a blowdryer!

Comments on Blog Who knew! Resin Jewelry as an art form

I just realized today 11-21-08 that I have comments on my blog! I apologize to those that have left comments and have waited for a response. Shame on me. I need a kid so I would know these type of things, that would be a great business for a high school student. Instead of babysitting or cutting grass they start a "Hire A Kid" and tutor us middle agers that have been left behind in the tech world. I would hire a kid for a couple hours a week to keep my files straight on the computer, show me blog, facebook, web site and other stuff. Anyway back to business while going over the comments I ran across the entry with Shannon's pendant and thought I would see what was new in her shop and again I'm blown away. Go take a look at her shop for more http://www.squareeffects.etsy.com/.

Stunning Peacock Resin Pendant by Etsy Artist

Maker Faire Austin ResinObsession demos What a BLast!

We had an awesome time at Maker Faire in Austin,Texas, which is an event created by Make Magazine to "celebrate arts, crafts, engineering, science projects and the Do-It-Yourself (DIY) mindset." It is like nothing else you have ever seen! I describe it as a "science museum goes to the State Fair"! A wonderful world for "tinkerers", indie upcyclers, and "Keep Austin Weird" crowd.



Craft Magazine had my Resin Starter Kits in the Maker Shed where I demonstrated how to mix and pour resin as well as ideas of all the fun stuff that can be created. If you ever have the opportunity to attend the Maker Faire, in San Mateo, CA, in May or Austin, TX, in October you should take advantage of it.


NEWSFLASH

I am so excited to announce a new product that I will be adding to the eBay store within the next few days. It is a product made by Novus that will polish your resin pieces to a beautiful shine without buffing or polishing with a wheel and jeweler's rouge. This is a hand-polish - no machinery required!



There are three products from Novus:

#1: Gently cleans without scratching, leaves a lustrous shine.Novus

#2: Removes fine scratches, haziness and abrasions.Novus

#3: Removes heavy scratches and abrasions. Requires both #1 and #2 polishes for final finishing.

Deep Well Bezel Ring Jewelry Resin Silver Taking Orders

I've spoken with the ring manufacturer and he is sold out. He will be shipping around the end of October for orders that are placed now. The rings have been so popular that I am taking paid orders and putting them on a waiting list. I talked to the manufacturer on Tuesday and since I will be placing such a large order I will be one of the first to receive my shipment. After filling paid orders I doubt there will be any leftover. I'm suggesting artists place advance orders with delayed shipping. Deposits will be required for advance orders. By advance orders I mean: some artists will be at Gift Shows so to fill their order they may need 50 rings in March, 50 in April, etc.

So many have asked about a quantity discount: 20 rings for $160, 30 rings for $225, 40 rings for $280, 100 rings for $600. Orders placed now; the beginning of October are scheduled for shipping the end of October. If you would like to be assured availability after the end of October shipping, it is wise to place advance orders with later shipping dates. Advance orders will need a deposit. These handmade rings have been so popular worldwide that the manufacturer is sold out! He is increasing production. Because I have asked for such a large order I will be one of the first to receive my order but I won't place that order if I don't have orders to back it up.

Bangle Mold Measurement Circumference not Diameter

I'm not ashamed to admit when I'm wrong. A precious math student pointed out that the term I meant all this time is circumference not diameter for the measurement of the bangle mold. No wonder why I confused everyone. I apologize. So everytime I say diameter just pretend I'm saying circumference OK? thanks cindy@resinobsession.com
