Not quite resin but still related

Ok...today's blog is kinda sorta about resin, but not so much.  It's about making Glass tile pendants.  Last night my meetup group, the +Austin Jolly Jems, met for some instruction in how to make glass tile pendants.  They had seen some of my pendants and wanted to learn how to make them.  This was a relatively easy process so I put it on our calendar and away we went.

Of course you know Google is our friend, so armed with a tutorial I found online (see the link attached), we had lots of fun.      Make Glass Tile Pendants and here's a youTube video for those who prefer visuals...

Mixed and poured resin

Making the pieces are relatively quick and inexpensive and loads of fun.  We used a variety of materials...bottle caps; mosaic tiles, glass tiles (all found in the local craft stores); lots of scrapbook paper; diamond glaze.

Some of the pieces started last night

Tip:  to ensure proper drying tile, make them in stages....1) choose design and adhere the glass tile cabochon 2) maybe the next day or so...cut and shape the piece; add the backing and then add the bale.
