Resin Art #3

Hi everyone.  Today I'm sharing my third "learning canvas" for resin pours.  I'm liking each canvas better than the last, so I guess that means I'm improving. :)

I added a layer of black gesso to my canvas before starting.  Once dry, I added some crushed glass on top of the canvas, moving it around until I was happy with the design.  This time I used mirror glass, which are the largest pieces on the canvas.  Next to the clear mirror glass, I added Sapphire Blue mirror glass (medium) and finished with a line of silver crushed glass (fine).  Added more to the top corner to balance.  Poured a layer of resin over top and let it dry for 24 hours.

Liked the way it looked (see below), but decided to play further, adding metallic paints and another layer of resin.  Also added a few fine lines with a metallic silver marker ... definitely need work on that! :)

Before adding dirty pour

I am continuing to learn better ways to do things and getting bolder with my designs.  I still need to work on my Dirty Pour.  I was hoping for more shapes and not just lines.  I think adding the glass first made it harder to manipulate the pour.  I'll try a different order next time.  

Thanks for coming by for a visit.  My card mojo has disappeared and I'm still trying to find it. :)  Hopefully will be back soon with a card.
