Hi guys. Hope everyone is staying safe and well. A while ago, I started layering paint (acrylic), Cellophane glitter flakes and polyurethane...along with glitters and layering alcohol inks. Below is a Works In Progress Video Sharing Three Incomplete Pieces. Then Soon I Will be posting more on how to work in mixed mixed media as well as showing you some more stages in my favourite piece so far. The hope that you will be inspired to try experimenting with mixed media. As long as you are having fun.
Hi guys. if you hang around here or my YouTube channel, you will know, I have an addiction to sparkly powders, glitters and anything iridescent or holographic.
Below I created a very short video sharing a lesson or two about working with UV resin and glitter. As well as showing a few of the sparkly creations using inexpensive molds from Bay.

Biggest Lesson Learned About UV Resin
First of all, don't use opaque silicone molds with Uv resin and glitter. The mold needs to be able to allow ultraviolet light through. Trust me, unless you are only using a wee bit of

I do prefer epoxy resin because there are no disappointments when unfolding Of course unless, you didn't mix it well enough. What Are Some Of The Materials I Used from EBay(click item to go to the links)
