Here is my heart shaped bezel on the morning of DAY TWO. After twelve hours you can easily see where I poured in some coloured resin and a little clear resin in random locations. There are a few areas at the base of my shape that have no resin…it is just exposed double-sided tape.
I am now adding a “second pour” of Jewelry Resin to just make sure the entire bottom is definitely resin. My resin bottom layer is only about 1/10 of an inch high. It is a very thin pour designed to just ensure my bezel shape remains solid and that resin is not seeping out through the bottom.
I also dropped in a few glass beads. I let this heart shape cure for an additional 8-10 hour.
DAY TWO EVENING I added paper and embellishments. You can see my mod-podge which is gluing everything to that first thin resin bottom. I worked carefully because the resin in the bottom is relatively hard, but it still needs a full 48 hour cure.
After my glue was dry I was able to see how my mini collage was looking. At this point I added in some paint and glitter.
Now I prepared my “third pour” of Jewelry Resin. You can see that I did not pour my resin to the brim. This will allow me to work on one more level. I’ll show you that next.

Don’t forget the huge Nunn Give-a-way is on until Wednesday!
Wow! I am really loving what you are doing here! Its going to look amazing! I can't wait to see what else you do!
That is cool.
Can I gently pour resin over my baked clay pendant? I have Pearl ex mica powder on them and I don’t want to use a paint brush!
Yes you sure can! You will just want to find a way to have the edges free so that the excess can drip off and not pool around the edges.
