Your products are really high quality. The doming trays are awesome and the dichro-ish supplies work really well. I've gotten many compliments on the jewelry I've made using these supplies.
You are a resin,rock 💫 star, thank you for sharing.I am so into trying different ways to do alternatives for my jewelry that no one else in my area is doing.With tips from you and a few others I have been able to get out of the comfort zone of other crafter.👍🏻
I am so excited to find you!!! When I was a teenager, I had a job in a Lucite factory! I loved it! Fast forward 60 years.....here I am, about to embark on your adventure! (I would guess the resin these days doesn't smell as much as the Lucite did in the 1960's!!!)
Your video tutorials are fantastic! I've been super intimidated by resin and now I feel like I can easily do this. Thank you! Going to check out your website now.
Hello! I used the Creative Drill, you'll find it in our webstore at little-windows(dot)com It comes with 3 different sizes of drill bit and it's really easy and comfortable to use (bye, bye Dremel!) Thanks for asking :)
Thank you! Little Windows brilliant resin is the best for this technique, it has no bad smell, is safer to work with than other resins, and has no solvents, so it won't eat away at the color on the Dichro-ISH film. Have fun!
you have a lovely, pleasant voice for this! i can't tell you how many tutorials i've tried to watch which are narrated by ladies with ANNOYING, nasal, squeaky voices...UGH!! thank you for a good tutorial, a lovely narration, and for not saying "like" between every two words! :D
Fran Valera I will definitely try! I have to find the materials first! I dont know where and I am not sure how this liquid you use is callled in greek! But when I have my first jewelry, I will show you! :)
Hi! I'm so glad you love it, so do I!! It depends on the type of plastic - with some the resin will peel off easily so you'll want to remove it before adding the back layer. Other plastics (brittle poly-styrene-types) will stick like crazy and can't be removed. It takes a bit of testing with the materials you have handy, but either will work to create with our brilliant resin. Have fun, and let me know how your creations turn out!
Hello Alejandro Cardenas, sorry I'm unable to reply to you directly, there is a list of the materials needed in our Little Windows Project Center here's a link to it: www.little-windows.com/blogs/project-center/7836943-dichro-ish-resin
Hello Maria! Yes, it's great to have a safe and easy epoxy resin to work with. We are located in the United States, but we can ship to you in Brasil. Just email me a list of the items you would like to fran@little-windows..com and I can send you estimates for shipping. Thank you :)
@boxer3086 Thank you for the feedback! This is such a fun technique, and the possibilities are endless. Yes, you can use a heat tool to pop bubbles, just be sure it doesn't blow too much air, you don't want the black resin to splatter. Have fun and send me pics of your creations!
@dragonfly3313 Hello! You'll find everything you need at little-windows(dot)com There will be a graphic for the Dichro-ISH Supplies on the top right side of the homepage, or you can go into the store and look under "Boxes & Other Stuff" Have fun!
Hello T, sorry, I know it's a trick to find. You'll find our Dichro-ISH supplies in the store at little-windows(dot)com, in the "Boxes and Other Stuff" section. We're outgrowing our current site, and the new one is mid-design, so thanks for your patience :)
Hello MrsSpiffilicious! I'm trying to find a better spot for them, but for now they're in the little-windows(dot)com store, in the section called "boxes & other stuff" I'm so glad you love our Dichro-ISH technique, it's really fun! Let me know how your creations turn out :)
Hello! You can do it either way, but I find it's easier for me to flatten the sheet back out again, then cut my shapes, vs. trying to flatten the little cut outs. Totally up to you - try some each way and see what you prefer :)
I do something similar to this but I've never tried this film...I always use iridescent glitter flakes..I think I may try this out to see the difference.
I am so inspired to make all of these projects if only you lived in the UK :) as it's very hard to get any of that stuff over hear , and sadly the shipping to the UK is very expensive :( but i still love watching all of the videos they are very easy to understand .and i too love your voice , Hugs and thank you x
Hello resin lovers, I am new but already in love with Little Windows resin, dicroISH paper and the molds. It worked with no problems at ll from the first time. Now I have a question... The Little Windows molds leave the pieces very, very shiny and I love that. I did get some other molds from ebay and they have nice shapes but are just not as shiny. What do you guys use to glaze it with? I've heard of triple thick and watched some tutorials but it looks like it leaves a lot of streaks. Does it? One other thing, I make a very nice bezel with the dircroish technique but I think I should have let it rest one more day. I wore it yesterday and I think I made a big mistake by spraying some perfume on my neck. Now the bezel has foggy spots in the final clear layer. Would anyone recommend glazing it or just trying to put on another lay of clear resin? sorry, don't want to bug anyone, but I live in Germany and ordering all the things from the US costs quite a bit so I am trying to make as little mistakes as I can to not waste anything. Thanks!
Hi cutedollyme, sorry for the delayed response, you can start with black in the bottom of your mold, or add it as the last layer after you've popped your castings out. Either way will work well, it's just a matter of which is a more efficient way to make the projects you have in mind :) Have fun!
Hello! What you have is the same thing in a different form. We recently switched from a powder to a gel, which makes it even easier to blend with the resin. Follow the directions that came with the package you purchased for best results, and have fun :)
Hi! Love this idea. Just received my Dichroic Kit today and have already poured resin and added the cut up film :) One question, can I add the resin with the black liquid directly into the resin mold instead of pouring onto pieces on the tray you are using? It won't stain will it? Thanks for the great tutorial.
Hi Teresa! Yes you certainly can pour black colored resin directly into your molds, just make sure it's blended well, otherwise you may get sticky spots. Any black resin drips can be picked off after it's cured, and they should not stain your molds :)
Outstanding tutorial. I feel like I could actually attempt this with success! Question: Would a heat tool work in place of a flame for releasing bubbles in the black glittered resin layer? I too appreciate that your voice is mellow.
Purchased your products at Bead & Button. Watching this video on the dichro technique I'm wondering why you crinkle the dichro film before you cut it out. Seems that it would be easier to cut if it was flat.
Hello G! I don't have any specific videos on that, but I've made magnets out of nearly every creation shown in my videos. You can either glue a magnet on the back of any piece, or you can embed a magnet in the bottom layer of resin for a more permanent bond. Have fun :)
questions: what kind of drill did you use and what type of bracelet was that you attached to the pendant. It went so fast I couldnt catch either. Thank you.
Thank-you for this great tutorial. The pieces are just beautiful! I am wondering if on the heart shaped one, and the "K", was the plastic removed from the resin or does it stay embedded in the piece? Thanks.
Autumn Spring Thank you Autumn! If you drip over you can wait about 4-6 hours and then try to peel it off. If you're concerned you can let the black-colored-resin set up for 20 minutes, then it'll be nice and thick as you pour, and you'll be less likely to overpour. Be conservative on your first few, until you get the hang of how much it can take. Hope that helps :)
Hola, felicidades en primer lugar por tus videos. Tengo un par de dudas, ¿por qué se me viene hacia la superficie la flor o figura que incluyo? ¿hay que dejar secar antes una capa previa con la flor u objeto y luego añadir otra capa?. Otra duda, ¿por qué se me queda la resina como blanda y moldeable incluso 48h después? (uso la que usted recomienda). Muchas gracias por adelantado.
Hola! Lo siento, pero estoy teniendo problemas para entender sus preguntas. Has comprado tu suministros de little-windows.com? Si pudiera enviarme un email a Fran@little-windows.com estaré encantado de ayudarle! Muchas gracias!
