Just a quick post to show off my first rainbow projects and today’s little gems. Methinks my new orange marker isn’t going to work out. Will need to find a paint pen…..

A few things completed
Here is some of the fruit of the labor of prior days. The sun mosaic is complete, and I have 8 coasters and some beads ready, as well.
I had a new request for some memory beads, but I’m not yet sure what type she will want. Since I had some resin handy, I just made a selection of beads. They turned out pretty well!
The coasters I made with the quick layering technique turned out OK. I think next time I will swirl the water pigmented layers a bit. I was hesitant to do that because the layer underneath wasn’t cured, but I think the pigments need to be moved around a bit more. I also think the look of the bubbles at the edge of the water are improved with this technique.
Pigment bubbles try #2
Today I was able to see how my second attempt at pigmented coasters with bubbles turned out. Overall, they are OK, but not quite to where I want them to be. I also put the last coat of paint on the window frame I’m going to use for my next mosaic project, which I’m thinking about using for a sun theme, or perhaps an aquarium.
The white pigment spread out more than I wanted, so they aren’t defining the edge of the waves as much as I had hoped. I think if I let the resin gel a bit more before I put the bubbles layer in place, then let the bubbles gel before pouring the blue pigmented resin for the water, that will give me more control. I will try that next.
