Like thiis girl does:

I'm not looking to duplicate her ideas, I’ve some of my own and I'd really like to try them out. I just don't understand how to make them. Like her necklaces, how do you get that glitter and pictures into a little circle? And how do make or where do you buy the little circle?

It confuses me.

Pleeeease someone explain the process for me?

Answer:
I am a master jeweler, so while my expertise is certainly in precious metals, I am familiar with alternative materials, such as those used in the pieces you reference.

These pieces are made from epoxy resin. Epoxy resin, available at craft stores or jewelry supply houses, is a two-part mixture that only begins the hardening process when the two parts (the resin and the hardener) are blended. The two parts must be mixed in the precise ratio given in the manufacturer's instructions. Imprecise measuring and mixing prevents the epoxy resin from solidifying or curing properly.

So as to not create air bubbles, which must be removed prior to allowing the mixture to harden, use a toothpick or craft stick to slowly and thoroughly mix the two parts.

You’ll need molds into which the mixed epoxy resin will go. Since you’re a fan of etsy, please note there are molds available on that site at: http://www.etsy.com/shop.php?user_id=588…

For a multiple-layer collage like the piece you like, you will need an epoxy resin with a longer cure time (also called “pot life”). I would advocate Colores brand, used with their thin hardener. Pour a small amount (to make a very thin layer) of the blended epoxy resin into your mold, then pop any air bubbles by either gently blowing on them or using a toothpick. Cover the container of remaining epoxy resin and store in the freezer to extend its pot life even more.

Add your first layer of collage material: glitter, found objects, whatever makes you happy. Lightly press them into the resin.

Pour a second thin layer of the resin over the material (again, return the remaining resin, covered, to the freezer), and allow the layer to cure to the point of being tacky.

Continue layering material and resin, being sure to grant each layer to become tacky before adding more material. You may need to mix up more resin if the original batch starts to cure too much. Make sure your last layer is even with the level of the mold.

Allow to cure totally, according to the manufacturer's instructions.

Sand the surface of the epoxy resin, which will get rid of unevenness or a tiny cloudiness. Use 180-grit wet/dry sandpaper, and sand the surface under water. Progress to finer grits up to a 1500-grit wet/dry sandpaper.

Polish the epoxy resin. Bring the epoxy resin to a shiny finish by rubbing it with a buffing stick and plastic-polishing rouge. These are items you can locate on the web or locally through a jewelry supply house.

Have fun!

Answer:
she probably uses a mold and melts the ( is it glass or plastic? ) anyhow she melts the medium and makes a shell, then she lets it dry. then add whatever accessories she wants in it then use the liquid medium againand pour it over and let it dry.

You can probably get the molds and AC moores or michaels, any craft store really.

Answer:
All of her jewelry consists of items embedded in resin. It is an simple but time consuming process. Just go get some resin at an art supply store and follow the directions on the can.

The art or craft supply stores also have different shaped molds to pour the resin in and all kinds of little items to embed.

Good luck!! : )

Answer:
pour clear glear into a mold and then quickly put the stuff in before it dries then let it dry
