Resin is a bit messy and I really should have worn rubber gloves but now I know :-) The watch parts are cool - each one can be seen in the resin. They're something different to add to my glass art beads.<BR/><BR/>CindyCindy Gimbronehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15625146240609776265noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14543068.post-24012341620495776462008-09-23T15:13:00.000-04:002008-09-23T15:13:00.000-04:00I definitely like the top picture, gears-up, the b...I definitely like the top picture, gears-up, the best.

I wanted depth but didn't achieve it because I was impatient. I should have made one layer and let it set up like my fellow blogger, Carmi. But I didn't. Too impatient, I wanted to make them fast and see what they'd look like - I couldn't wait!!! <BR/><BR/>What am I two years old waiting for Santa Claus?<BR/><BR/>Kinda.<BR/><BR/>But then you know that already ;-)<BR/><BR/>Are-We-There-Yet-inly Yours,<BR/>CindyCindy Gimbronehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15625146240609776265noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14543068.post-25714440964475559392008-09-23T12:16:00.000-04:002008-09-23T12:16:00.000-04:00Hi Deb,Jenn's book is fun and Jenn is a genius whe...Hi Deb,<BR/><BR/>Jenn's book is fun and Jenn is a genius when it comes to making jewelry out of anything - if it's cute and quirky, Jenn can make it into jewelry and the book shows you how.

I have trouble with things sticking to molds too that I why I love using ice cube trays because you don't need mold release and your resin pops right out (as long as you get the right kind of plastic tray).

How hard is it to get the watch pieces to float where you want in the thickness? Maybe you can make them deeper in relation to the smooth "front" side? Bet that's easier said than done, though! Either way, they are really fun to look at!angelinabeadalinahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13695157801736043777noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14543068.post-30716405591680659232008-09-23T09:47:00.000-04:002008-09-23T09:47:00.000-04:00I like the look of the right side in top ones - ma...I like the look of the right side in top ones - maybe that is just because they seem to pick up the colour that is behind them better though.<BR/><BR/>They're great anyway & it looks like a fun book.Debhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05152008716680160516noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14543068.post-22560722542771355652008-09-23T07:09:00.000-04:002008-09-23T07:09:00.000-04:00I like the depth of the second one.
