In this helpful beginner feathering (or some people refer to as swirls) tutorial by Dream Dust Designs, Jennifer Mckay covers her process of how she creates a basic feathering swirl technique, with resin & epoxy pigment pastes, as she experiments with a few new colours. In this video, she explains the recipe she makes ahead for each colour (in the beginning 15 minutes), in the smaller round moulds. .
She shows her experience while trying something new, in hopes it may help others considering trying same technique.
Then after the colours are mixed correctly, she proceeds to showing you the creating in the moulds, and uses skewers to create the feathering. You can also use toothpicks, and for smaller feathering details, you can use sewing needles.
Once you get the technique, recipe and timing practice in, you can experiment with getting finer details in your feathering and use different tools. Some people prefer to use a very fine mist of 99% alcohol at the end for any bubbles that may rise after the manipulating. If doing this, it must be very fine mist, so it doesn't ruin the finish on the cure or effect cure process. If you use a torch (keep flame down low as possible). A bbq lighter will suffice on smaller pieces. Just be sure to keep all flame away from the resin and the moulds, or you can accidentally fuse your resin to your mould, ruining both your art and your mould. Avoid using a heat gun to pop bubbles on this project style, as the air flow may ruin the design you worked for.
