When I discovered this technique using resin and metal foil, I was astonished. It happened by accident and a most pleasant accident it was. It is so easy to do and I am surprised I had not thought about doing it before.

Hi If you cut the leaf into small squares you don't have to waist so much when you cover the dots. Thanks again for your videos

You can a very similar design by using metallic mica on details and removing excess will isopropanol and a cotton wool cue tip . Then adding a different mica . Cheaper easier less messy and just as good results but still their very nice. I'm into free form bowls right now and people love them

If you mix your mica with a small amount of resin first,and then pour into the rest it’s easier to get rid of any lumps

Wow, Steve those came out so, so nicely. I love the frog, and the mushrooms came out well too. I haven't seen anyone doing that with metal leaf paper anywhere. It's a really unique finish and it makes the items look very expensive, especially the frog! God bless you and yours Steve. Have a great weekend!

Would it be possible the next time you do the frog you could give him black eyes? I think that would look nice.

@TarynIona Жыл бұрын

Am addicted to glitter, foil and holographic cellophane, almost in that order. Have been looking for more foil to use and I think you have given me the link I have been looking for. Have so much in makeup brushes from various times people have gifted me with makeup sets, and I can't do it as they have castor oil in them and yeah, allergic. Also learning that I can have gold in pieces, just the findings can be the silver. Due to my own allergies to gold unless it's the high grade gold and not plated, I welt and/or what it touches turns bright red. So all my stuff is done in silver, plus, it doesn't take away from the piece itself, at least that's how I see it. Thank you Steve, for another great idea to work on.
