New Jewelry UV Resin projects

Hello, Art Peeps!

(Speaking of Peeps...do you find them to be your favorite snack in April along with those little Cadbury eggs? I know I do, yum! )

If you have been following my Instagram page you may have seen some of my new UV resin projects that I've been working on. I have to tell you I'm very excited about how fast I can make these mini art pendants! I use all of my old scraps from past projects that just didn't pan out. 

Since the original Alcohol Ink Pendant course was one of my very first online courses, I've added some updated lectures including how to use UV resin in place of glue. It's a great way to eliminate those pesky bubbles or silver spots under your glass cabochons.

I've also found some awesome little steel bezels that you can engrave on, plus they do not tarnish like some of the other sterling silver/plated bezels for those of us that hate to clean them. 

I also added some quick tips on how I photograph my finished jewelry pieces for online sales. 

If you want to learn more about the full process, please join me 
in the full course "Alcohol INk Pendants", I'm so excited to share some new information with you!

NEW UPDATED CLASS

I hope you are all doing well and staying creative!

Jewelry Art TIP - Use Resin (NOT GLUE) to create Less Air Bubbles ( Bezels and Glass Cabochon)

I have heard from a number of students from my online Alcohol Ink Jewelry Course that air bubbles are a problem for them. This is something that can happen when you first start making pendants until you get the hang of it. It's that dreaded....they look great right now then a day later when it's dry you discover those silvery little buggers (you may know exactly what I mean) of air that trapped themselves hidden only to make their great escape 24 hours or so later. It's all about that seal. If you squeeze out too much glue it can suck the air back in or if you don't use enough glue to begin with. There are a number of scenarios that can happen to create these silver spots.

When I first started making pendants I used the glue but I've graduated and wanted to share with you what I now use! I LOVE using Art Resin for my bezel pendants with or with out Glass Cabochons because it has UV protection built in and my clients do not have to worry so much about getting the pendants wet because unlike glue resin is waterproof. Please note that some colors can fade when using resin, so I find it best to seal them first with a few light sprays of Kamar Varnish before I seal them with resin. If you choose to use Art Resin (there are many other 2 part epoxy brands to choose from) but Art resin has UV so you would not need to spray a coat of UV spray after Kamar.
