Last week’s Ice Resin Play was with rings and some other things.
This week I can show you how Ice Resin changes everything you saw in that post. Beautiful changes!
Here is the before of what you are about to see. The two top circles of color are the beginnings of the druzzy. Coarse glitter glued down before resin.
After seeing a few Ice resin samples of faux druzzy (naturally forming crystal) techniques I had to try it out. Using the chunky turquoise glitter I glued it thickly to the bottom of the bezel. Over that poured the Ice resin to make a smooth top and placed a previously cast heart on top of that. Yum! I love it. Also made on in purple.
You can see where the cast heart caught two air bubbles underneath it…but I don’t care. It’s really pretty anyway.
And here is another you’ve only seen before the resin was poured..now afterwards!
This is inspired by a Klimt painting and I embellished it with gold glitter throughout her tears. Everyone should cry in gold glitter…don’t you think?
One more…here’s the before…
The bezel on the top that is just color went into the piece below.
The background here was from a mixed media painting which was then enameled around the edges. The cast face was placed after a thin coat of resin was applied in the bezel.
I love that it’s raised and this piece is quite large. Oval in shape probably about 2 inches from chin to forehead.
Okay…one more! Here is the skull from the top picture after pouring the resin.
He’s just good old fashioned fun!
Until next time!
A couple of weeks ago Seth Apter’s blog was recommended by a friend as a “don’t miss out” blog to read. Upon arriving the first post I read was one about allowing the world to see us, we as artists, in our true habitat. (you can read the post here: Seth’s Call for The Studio Table)
Also known as the cluttered studio and messy worktable!
This is my main work table area. Normally this is 4′ X 3′ but, as you can see, I’m working in about 1′ X 1′.
Why are we always worried about cleaning everything up? What’s the deal? Isn’t it true to form if you’re a working artist then you have a messy work area?
I know for me that this is completely, without a doubt, true almost everyday.
So here goes…here’s your MESSY tour. And believe me it is. I’m in the midst of working at the stocking of several shops and three shows plus two classes in about 6 weeks time. Oy!
This is the opposite side of my main work area, also the same size, but now covered in resin supplies plus some other things.
I know where everything is…it appears normal to me.
And this is another work area usually 8′ X 3′. Not sure there’s even an inch there if I wanted it to be.
I have two more full lengths of counter space that I’m not showing off. They look pretty much the same just serve different purposes.
So…what does your space look like? Are you productive? I may be have a messy space but I can crank out some artsy stuff!!
Lots of good things happen over on Seth’s blog!
Until next time!

Gr8full…for a whole bunch of things.
My daughter and i did a little experiment this past weekend. Gratitude and what it means to us. We barely scratched the surface of how we truly feel about the subject. We did manage to make a couple of signs proclaiming our feelings through the laughter.
My husband was attempting to take our picture but we weren’t being very helpful.
Serious…he said make a serious face! I guess that’s it…not sure.
We got goofy…or just plain kooky looking.
We truly are gr8full for each other. Even when we don’t get along or disagree…we still laugh most of the time.
We are part of the #gr8fullcre8ive project found at the Cre8ive Klatch blog and also on their Instagram account @cre8iveklatch.
Come join us or find cre8ive and positive conversation in our Facebook group.
Until next time,

Fun beet, cabbage, and kale salad.
A friend of mine posted about finding this recipe and it looked yummy. It’s from a website called FedandFit.com which also has other great recipes mostly slanted towards the paleo lifestyle. But I also found some great vegan ideas there.
Give it a try…it was yummy!
