С бижутерската смола не се харесахме от самото начало, вече изгубих сметката на провалите. Едва наскоро някои неща ми се получиха. Така и така й се бях заканила да я понижа в чин "лепило", и точно това направих. Нищо лично, просто ми трябваше яко лепило :) Залепих няколко авторски мъниста на Petrovna Lampwork върху морско стъкло, така ще ми е много по-удобно да ги оплитам с тел ;)
I have a history of issues with jewelry resin. Only recently I managed to make some acceptable items. Anyway, I had decided to use it as glue if it didn't cooperate and so I did. No hard feelings, I just needed strong glue :) I glued several art beads by Petrovna Lampwork to sea glass to make wire weaving them easier.
С тези "галактически" стъклени топчета правя колиета от серията "Третото око" и дори съм публикувала уроче за оплитането им, но сега ще ми е много по-лесно.
I make my Third Eye series pendants with these Galaxy beads and even posted a pictorial about wire weaving them but I think I just made the process a lot easier.
Сглобих едно екзотично цвете :)
I assembled an exotic flower :)
Ами това черепче с венец от цветя?
What about this skull with a flower wreath?
И тези калинки:)
And these ladybugs :)
Оцветяването не ми се получи, вероятно защото изчаках по-дълго смолата да се сгъсти. Все пак имам червен кабошон с цветя за оплитане и... ъ-ъ-ъ... шишенцето на Дракула???
Coloring didn't work well, probably because I let the resin stay longer before using it. I still have a red flower cab to wire weave and... erm... Dracula's bottle???
Освен че се сдобих с интересни неща за оплитане, успях и да разчистя още запаси :)
Now I've got interesting stuff to work with and also purged more craft stash :)
While I understand your frustration, I found "Dear Resin No hard feelings, I just needed strong glue," to be really funny. If gluing is your primary objective you can look for a non jewellery resin (in India, the brand is called Araldite) at a hardware store. Its slightly yellow, a strong glue and has no mixing minimums like jewellers grade resin. Its only for gluing or making 3D textures, not casting or doming.
ОтговорИзтриванеI realize I can use some sort of strong hardware glue. But I needed something like a "volcano crater" for the Galaxy beads and resin worked like a charm. I just have to plan the "resin day" better, starting with jewelry stuff and using leftovers as glue. Frankly, I'm not sure I'll buy more resin after I'm done with what I have but who knows, we all need some sort of diversification sometimes :)
