Pink accents, silver chains, safety pins, metal charms, and a classical sculpture collage — a mix of soft and edgy details.

Not every punk design has to be black and red.

I love aquariums and looking at fish, but my absolute favorite fish is still the one served with fries. So 10 years ago, I made this.

How could I get a light ray effect

Thumbnail
gallery
7 Upvotes

As you can see from my amazing sketch, my idea is to have a seamoth looking from scrap along the ocean floor at night, its lights illuminating some loot in front of it, while the head of a reaper leviathan is just barely visable in the dark water.

But to get this Id want ti have the seamoth itself and the water and ground in front of it be much brighter than the rest of piece. Painting the front of the seamoth and the ground thats illuminated bright with harsh shadows would help sell it, but I dont know how Id get the light ray, or how Id get the background to fad to a harsh black quick without making the whole thing difficult to see into

Manufacturers

Hi all! I am a small resin jewlery creator. I make chains, necklaces and rings made of Abs like resin in transparent colors. The colors are transparent red, clear and smoky black. I am trying to source a manufacturer to work with to help me with the manufacturing load. I have spoken to a few manufacturers on Alibaba but they seem to not work with colored transparent resin. If anyone has any leads or anyone I can talk to I would appreciate it so much! Attached are pictures of some of my current designs. Any help or suggestions is welcome, thank you all!

UV resin surface texture issues

Post image
3 Upvotes

I have been attempting to coat my shrinky dink charms in UV resin but getting the same orange peel-like texture upon curing no matter what I try.

I make sure the resin is warmed up before using it, spread it carefully, pass a flame over it quickly to try pop any bubbles. I can see little microbubbles forming after the resin settles over the charm, but they don't react to my flame at all.

I use a nail lamp to cure it and I've tried different heat intensities/ timings to no avail. I leave the charm to settle for a while before curing and still nothing changes. Does anybody have any advice/ experience with this? Thank you!

Uv resin not curing even after doing all the “tricks”

Post image
11 Upvotes

I am using uv resin to make the lip on my costume shiny and to seal the paint underneath. It is still tacky and leaves some on my fingers even after curing. I figured maybe my light wasnt strong enough so i bought a new one. Then i left it on for about 20 minutes. I wiped it with isopropyl alcohol. I coated it with water and tried curing it that way.

Nothing has worked so far. Should i just leave it outside to see if the sun works? It is cold outside though would that even work? It would be a shame if this stays tacky forever since there are still fumes. I put about 1k and two years into this costume :(

Edit- my mom has a uv tanning bed, i am debating on if i should just put it in there lol xD

Idea for alcohol ink holder

Thumbnail

I'm pretty new to this, but discovered quickly that I needed a way to quickly see my alcohol ink bottles (colors!) The acrylic straw holders at Dollar Tree worked quite well for this. Just in case anyone else is looking. The ink fits nicely into bottoms of the holders (I used 3 here). There's a second part I just taped together and added a bottom to make a tool holder.

How can I make "icing" for these resin gingerbread cookies?

I'm making Christmas ornaments to give out as gifts, and I'm very happy with how they are turning out. Does anyone have suggestions for how to make "frosting" or "icing" that looks reasonably realistic? I've tried puffy paint, UV resin, and acrylic paint; the UV resin was the closest, but not quite what I'm looking for. Ideas?

Hello! My mom and I are just getting into resin and have tried a few moulds. We have found these Mickey heads are opaque but we want them clear (like the blue leaf). Does anyone know why our pieces aren't clear? I attached photos of the mould we used and the resin. TIA

Where should I start learning resin art as a complete beginner?

8 Upvotes

Hi everyone! I've recently become really interested in resin art, especially making small decorative pieces and jewelry.

I'd love to learn how to make my own creations and maybe eventually turn it into a small business, but honestly, I have no idea where to start.

I've been looking at different tutorials, but there's so much information out there that it's a little overwhelming.

Are there any YouTube channels, beginner guides, or other resources that helped you when you first started? I'd also love to know what mistakes you wish you'd avoided as a beginner, especially when it comes to materials and safety.

I'd really appreciate any advice!

Are Jdiction and Resiners lamps the same?

Thumbnail

3 Upvotes

I use UV resin to coat air dry clay and I'm on the market for a new lamp. So far I have been using generic nail lamps and I'm less than impressed, my pieces always remain tacky unless I put them in the sun, so I'm dreading the coming winter.

I have seen several people praising the Jdiction double sided lamp, but I'm in the EU and the import fees would probably be higher than the lamp itself. However, the Resiners double sided lamp looks virtually identical. Has anyone got experience with both? Is it the same lamp? Or would you recommend a different lamp available in the EU?

Looking for help

Hi Im new here just looking for help I bought this several years ago (a little pokemon terrarium) I packed it away after a year or 2 and never unpacked due to limited space where I moved but it has been kept in a fairly cool basement since being packed. Finally unpacked it a couple years later and theres this weird substance leaking, I did have other figures in here but I can only assume it came from this which is covered and probably had resin in it but I would've thought it was cured and being kept in a cool place it should've been fine? Does this seem like uncured resin and how can I safely dispose of it or if it isnt can anyone point me in the right direction please and thank you! (sorry for bad photos trying not to touch)
