making resin jewelry that offers the possibility to encapsulate objects and suspend the resin, articles of jewelry that incorporate the production of materials otherwise not be used in the manufacture of jewelry. Many items can be embedded within the resin jewelry including insects, plants, paintings and fabrics. The most important to consider when objects embedded in the resin is that the inclusion is completely free of moisture, humidity can interfere with the curing process of resin. Here's how inclusions must be prepared before being embedded in resin.
Flowers and Plants
Flowers leaves and other garden plants should be completely dry and free of moisture. Can be pressed (using a press or between the pages of a great book and blotting paper and went for several weeks). pressed flower must be covered with craft glue or decoupage, flower because darker colors can the resin bleed and lighter colors may become transparent. Alternatively, small flowers dried flowers can be covered with silica gel for several weeks. Then you can spray with clear acrylic spray before being integrated into the liquid resin.
Wood
pieces wood must be sealed with resin, craft or decoupage glue and cured before nailed in the resin. This prevents air bubbles escaping from the piece wood, which in turn create bubbles in the casting resin jewelry.
Images and Photos
For best results use mat or photocopied images of some inkjet print images bleed when you apply glue to seal the image. For best results, print the image on photographic paper and let dry thoroughly 24 hours. Often this can be integrated as immediately, but for extra precaution, the label image with a small amount of craft glue or decoupage. This stamp image and prevent the ink bleeding out on the resin and the original transparencies.
The 3-D objects
Small 3-D objects such as pieces of games, figurines and shells in general can be added to the resin with little preparation. Previously, should be washed with detergent and let dry. For best results to avoid creating air bubbles, should be brushed with a layer of resin prior to added to the liquid resin.
Caramel
To avoid the aroma of caramel, dry foods and sweets out of a bleeding the resin must be sprayed with clear acrylic spray and let it dry overnight. As with 3-D objects, to avoid air bubbles, should be covered with a layer of resin brushed before adding them to the liquid resin.
Web
Most websites can be included in resin jewelry without any preparation, but to avoid any fabric dye bleeding sites in the resin can be sealed with craft glue or decoupage. Moreover, a range of clothing is available in paper craft shops that are already covered because the color will be maintained once embedded in resin.
Examples of other elements that can be embedded within the resin jewelry and generally require no preparation include gloss, glass, metal, energy, grains and confetti. These elements can be included within the resin jewelry for decoration or to change the texture of the object. Light objects suspended within the resin, but other heavier sink into the background, so the heavier items should be added when the resin has cured for a while and the resin has become strong.
