Resin Diamonds Bracelet Tutorial
For this week's tutorial over at Resin Obsession, I've designed a stylish bracelet using Super Clear Resin and both Opaque and Translucent Resin Obsession pigments. I love the contrast created by the transparency of the blue and the opacity of the teal - visually, it adds texture to the bracelet, even though the pieces are smooth and glossy. Such a soothing combination of colours makes this bracelet the perfect accessory for a summer getaway to the seaside or perhaps an ocean cruise. After casting each of these diamonds, I drilled holes in them and strung all the pieces together with beading elastic and added some sliders that I glued sparkly, colour-shift crystals on.

Resin Trivet Tutorial at Resin Obsession
This month I'm working with Resin Obsession to bring you some fabulous resin tutorials using their Super Clear Resin and Resin Pigments. Super Clear Resin not only lives up to its name, but it's almost bubble free too. And whilst the resin is ultra clear, it's just as wonderful when it's coloured with Resin Obsession's pigments. If you haven't used these colourants before then here's the lowdown: the pigment is actually resin, so when you're measuring out the resin, you take into account the volume of the pigment as well. To that, you add the hardener and then mix. The range of colours is extensive and includes Bright (read glowing neons!), Opaque and Transparent colours and they are gorgeous! My first project is a resin and bamboo trivet for the kitchen. This colourful kitchen accessory is sure to add some sunshine to your benchtop. Hop on over to Resin Obsession for the full tutorial on how you can make your own resin and bamboo tri...
