My new crafting mantra - don't fear to fail! After being disheartened by the mess I made of casting a whole load of resin in the middle of February, I have been putting off trying again.
This week I have given myself a kick in the rear and bit the bullet. I have cast the first and second layers of what I hope will be my first wearable pendants. So far so good, however I know at least 4 of them will not turn out ok.
I tried covering my cutouts in PVA glue to stop the resin seeping into the paper, but must have missed some bits as there are wee splodges through some of them that completely ruins the appearance. Oh well, live and learn.
On the plus side, I'm so far really happy with the way the round pendants are turning out. Just need to decide how to finish them off - Glitter, clear, pigmented - and then it's onto the dreaded sanding! With my shaky hands I'm reluctant to touch them with a rotary tool but will just have to keep chanting - 'DON'T FEAR TO FAIL'!
