Today we will be doing a project I am very excited about! I love to doodle and play with alcohol inks, it's fun and relaxing, and I find it to be a real mood booster. I've always wanted to do more with my doodles, with resin we can turn them into wearable jewelry! Here are some examples of the jewelry you will be able to make after watching this video. If you've worked with resin before you will have most of the supplies needed for this project. Especially if you've done a petri dish project.
We use basic tools: your favorite brand of resin. Alcohol inks, we use Jim Holtz, by Ranger. Mixing cups and a stirring device. A silicone work mat is nice but use whatever you have around to keep your work surface clean. Scissors Microperm pen to add designs. Isopropyl Alcohol. To paintbrush. Yupo or Pixxus paper. (we plan to do videos on expensive brands vs their more affordable counterparts, so be sure to subscribe and sign up for notifications if you want to see when we release that video) and bezel cup settings made by SupplyDiva, we offer these settings for pendants , earrings, and rings. We produce these in copper, brass, bronze, and nickel silver. They are high quality, sturdy findings. You can find the link to purchase our bezel cups in the description.
We are going to use Pixxas paper for this project, as it is much more affordable than Yupo. I will say it helps a lot if you paint on a light layer of isopropyl alcohol first. I've found that without this layer my colors don't really want to spread out and react with one another. How you doodle and what you doodle is really up to you, you can always reactivate your inks with a paintbrush or spray bottle of alcohol. It's a lot of fun watching what the inks do and how they react. We will speed this part up. Also if you want to draw on your work once it has dried, you can try a micron pen, it won't cause the inks to reactive.
So once you have finished and you are satisfied with your work, allow it to fully dry. This doesn't take long thanks to the fact that the alcohol evaporates quickly. I've chosen part of my doodle and will trace around the edges of the bezel setting. Keep in mind you will be cutting inside your lines. More trimming will be required to make the piece of paper fit. We tried using paper cutters, but do not recommend this, Pixxus and Yupo are plastic papers, our cutter ended up jamming and damaging our work.
