Hello my crafty friends! Last week I made these four coasters to match my new dinning room furniture. And I’m loving they way they came out. I’ll list products down below.

Art Resin Coasters made by Annalicia Spannaus
On the left is the front of the coasters and the right is the back. I love making art resin coasters because you get two beautiful different looks of the coasters. So you can used either side.
I also love the way you can see the veins threw the coasters.
I started first mixing my Art Resin I used 3 ounces of harder and 3 ounces resin so total of 6 ounces. Mixed for 3 minutes, set your timer and sometimes I mix another few minutes more. The most important thing is to mix it for 3 minutes.
I took resin and pour some in a cup, add Martha Stewart sterling glitter flakes. Pour this first on to my Leobro puzzle silicone mold, 4 quarter circle patterns with irregular edge.
Second mix is Black Damond pigment powder liquid metal pearl, pour next around the outside mold.
Third pour was black Diamond pigment powder white Diamond effect. Pour next to the metal pearl.
Fourth pour was jus the art resin clear and around the white.
Took a heat-gun and move it around for a few minutes to get the look I wanted and to get rid of any bubbles.
I had a little left over so I made a smaller coaster. I cover and let set for 24 hours.
Here’s pictures of products I used. I purchased from Amazon and Black Diamond.

Hello my crafty friends! A few days ago I decided to make some-more coasters using art resin and Black diamonds pigment powders. I totally love the shimmer, beautiful colors of theses pigment powders. Also how easy it was mixing the pigment powders with the art resin. I’ll list products I used down below.

Coasters
Black Diamond Pigment Powders & Martha Stewart Gunny Glitters
I used Black Diamond Pigment Powders Midnight Blue, Turquoise, Diamond Gold and White Diamond Effect. Also use Martha Stewart gunny glitter navy blue and turquoise. With Art Resin it only takes 24 hour for it to harden. I took a heat gun to pop all bubbles.
I also applied Arteza Gold acrylic maker to just the top and bottom of the coasters.

Art Resin Pour with Arteza Mica Powders

28 Dec 2020 Leave a comment

by simplycraftydesigns in Uncategorized

Hello my crafty friends! Yesterday I decided to do a resin pour using Art Resin and Arteza mica powders. I got a set of 60 different colors of mica powder. So of course I couldn’t wait to play. And here is how it came out.

I made five coasters and they came out perfect. Each one has there own look and shines so pretty.
Arteza Mica powders I used are Silver G4, sapphire blue 859 and bright blue 857. I also used Nuevo gilding flakes silver.
Before I get started I always make sure everything is in front of me. Because you know when working with resin your time is important. Working with Art Resin you have a window of 45 minutes to work with before it starts to get hard.
This is a beautiful set of mica powders, I can’t wait to do other creative things with theses colors.

I did do a video and I’ll post it on YouTube and thank you for checking out my blog. Please leave me a like or comment. Would love to hear what you think. Have a wonderful day.
