I started with a 12 inch white ceramic tile and mixed seven ounces of resin.  Next, I put 3/4 of an ounce into three cups and colored them with Resin… Read more »

I didn’t care for the muddiness of last week’s resin dirty pour painting, so I decided to use the same colors but in a different technique.  I also wanted to try warming dimethicone and flicking it onto the painting surface. Here’s a recap of what I mixed: *Seven ounces of resin, then put 1 ounce… Read more »
