My first resin and alcohol ink petri dish experiments (with glitter of course)!! Warning: this process is completely addictive!! This is just a short time lapse video of the process, and then the unmolding of all three resin petri dishes!
Materials I used:
Art Resin, mixed according to their instructions
Culinary torch
Ranger and Pinata alcohol inks
Silicone baking mold
Gold Bling It (by Rezin Arte)
rubber gloves, stir sticks, and little cups
I started by mixing the Art Resin according to their exact instructions. I warmed the resin bottles in warm water for about ten minutes before I mixed it. I poured the resin into three silicone molds to about 3/4 of an inch or so. I let the resin sit for five minutes, and then I used a culinary torch to very quickly pop the air bubbles. You have to be careful to not burn the mold. After that, I used a toothpick to remove any air bubbles from the edges of the molds.
Once all the air bubbles were gone, I added a bit of bling it mixed with clear resin to the molds. I wanted to have some glitter in there! I added drops of colored alcohol ink followed by drops of white alcohol ink to each dish. I was not sure how much or how little to add since this was my first time. I waited the full 24 hours before I unmolded the petri dishes.
Colors used:
Petri dish 1: Citris, Rasin, Baja Blue, Butterscotch, Twilight Purple
Petri dish 2: Sunshine yellow, Mermaid, Juniper, Terra Cota, Teakwood, Passion Purple
Petri dish 3: Lettuce, Stream, Salmon, Wild plum, Sunshine yellow
