This is a short Project Based course for 3 quick and easy results.
This course is all about PLAY, and is less structured than my other step by classes. Alcohol Ink is also a great medium to help more detailed artists loosen up and create some wonderful projects with Resin.
I'll show you some really easy ways to create this super cool abstract coasters a few ways and we'll then create some DIY fantastic and unquie one of a kind knobs that can be used on your cabinets, drawers, or anywhere you want to jazz up! We'll cover each project step by step. Each and every piece you create will be different than mine. This is a personal journey to create , and your pieces will have your stamp on it or your own Art Expression.
The key is to play and test things out without fear. You'll notice I just go with the flow when creating these. Let go of your perfectionism in this class and say I CAN do this!
Join these All Stars of Alcohol Ink as they open up and share their experiences, tips, tools and best practices for creating and promoting your alcohol ink art!
Really excited to share our First Alcohol Ink Art Conference with you all!!
Kellie has been working with Art Resin for 3+ years now and has learned many tips and mistakes in creating with the wonderfully scary at first medium. We will cover her favorite substrates to use Art resin on and her Top mistakes she has learned. There is also a full online demo of how to create a Wave using Art Resin.
I had a request for a commission pair of earrings from a client. This was a gift and the person loves flowers, especially anything purple, and they really wanted a violet or pansy.
I video taped most of my process not on the earrings but on the single bracelet. You can watch it on my Youtube Channel. I'll be posting a link to the video below.
I am always up for the challenge and once I got started it was fun to expand on the original plan.
It took a few tries to get the shape down with the resin and get a feel for how the inks would move with and without heat. I worked with Snow Cap Alcohol Ink to start for the base. It's a mixative and I added it to the Clear Art Resin to tint it.
I found these lovely little Adjustable Bracelets online and they had just arrived, so I made a few of these. I'll be posting a few more as the first 2 batches have sold. You will be able to find them in my etsy shop soon.
I also found these cute little charms that I'm thinking on adding to my next batch of bracelet!
They have all kind of little options. This pack of 100 had butterflies, lots of sea themed charms like mermaids, shells, suns, elephants, owls, keys and more.
I also wanted to share the great little starter Jewelry Kit that has a lot of what I needed to start making simple jewelry pieces.

Lifetime Access Alcohol Ink "Jewelry Pendant Online Course"
Sale Link Below
I've been busy creating more pendants for my Retailers (above is a sample). It took me some time to get the whole process down but now I am able to create in bulk and be more efficient. As I am sure you are well aware, that processes are always changing and we get more efficient with time. So to possibly save you time and easy I wanted to share my new process for bulk orders with you.
Also if you seem to have trouble with the Silvery air bubbles with your glue this is a game changer. You can choose to use the Glass Cabochon on top of the resin if you like the magnification or go without.
I will often wait to create my Alcohol Ink pendants when I have Art Resin project starting (Usually myZEN DISKSor my Resin Jewelry). A big money and time saver for me was to use my left over resin in place of the glue in the pendants. Since Art Resin has built in UV resistant, I do NOT have to spray with UV Varnish. Plus with Resin, I get less bubbles than with glue and a super clear pendant. (1-2 oz of resin will go a long way) I'll put a link for the Mini Art Resin Kit below for you.
But in order to be efficient with the resin before it starts to cure I make sure to have my pendants ready to go. Here are the steps I take, so that when I have my resin out and mixed I can use the left overs right away.
1. Step one was to create all my backgrounds. I was at camp over the 4th of July and was able to get a bunch of beautiful color combos created on Mineral and Yupo Paper.
2. Step two - Depending on the Humidity in the air I will wait a day before doing this step, giving the Backgrounds plenty of time to dry, then I cut out all my circles from the backgrounds.
Now the planning stage starts.
3. Step Three - once my circles are cut I use my black sharpie or my white/silver/or gold gel
pen to draw my Trees, Dragonflies, or anything that comes to mind. I really analyze the colors and choose what works best with the design I see in my mind.
4. Step Four - Once they are all drawn, then I seal them with Kamar Varnish Spray. This can sometimes be tricky because now they are cut.
5. Step Five - After a day of drying, I'll then decide what goes with the different colored metals. I will line them up so they are ready to go (moves quicker if you have a plan before you resin) and then add the resin on top of the piece carefully as to not over fill them and add the glass on top. Wipe up any extra resin that may come out of the sides.
6. Step Six - I check back in on my pieces before the first hour to make sure there is no over spill, then let them dry for at least 24/48 hours.
7. Once they are Dry you can put on your chains and package them up.
Check back next Tuesday- I'll be posting how I package my pendants! Sign up HERE
