Design Memory Craft & Ice Resin!

DMCIceResinTiff-1New Orleans, LA…NOLA

New Orleans is color, food, music, people, heart, & soul.

Hello Blogosphere! Welcome to the Ice Resin Faber-Castell Week! I am so excited to share details about my NOLA Pendant. NOLA stands for New Orleans, LA which is where I call home! It was my first time using Ice Resin & Iced Enamels…totally fell in love.

Instructions:

1. Trace the heart-shaped bezel on a book page, cut it out, and save the negative (top portion) to color.

2.Draw a New Orleans Skyline with a black PITT Pen (S) on a book page. Color the sky with Art Grip Aquarelle Watercolor Pencils (107, 136, 166) and blend it with a wet brush. Heat Set. These watercolors are permanent once they’re dry :)

3. Adhere Skyline to Bezel with Gel Medium.

4. Apply Iced Enamels Medium to the bottom portion of the Heart-shaped Bezel using a paintbrush, making sure to avoid adding the Medium to the Skyline. Pour Iced Enamels Relique. Shake excess. Heat Set. 

5. Add more Iced Enamels Medium on top using a paint brush, pour Iced Enamels Relique (German Silver), shake excess, and heat set. Repeat until you achieve desired results! I layered mine 4 times.

6. Add charms, embellishments, and letters to create a scene in your Heart-shaped Bezel.

7. Mix the Iced Enamels Resin Syringe per the instructions (I used half of the amount in the syringe & mixed it for a minute). Pour into Bezel. The air bubbles will release with time & warmth. 

8. Allow project to dry for 6 hours. Allow to cure for 3 days. 

I hope you enjoyed my project! Sorry for the lengthy instructions, but this stuff is SOOO cool! There are a TON of videos and tutorials out there (thank you web)!
