Scrabble Tile Pendants - batch 1
Originally uploaded by tamdolloriginal
I guess I was lucky the first time I made some of these scrabble tile pendants and used resin to seal them. The first batch were amazing. Well... except for the ones I had to chisel off the tile they were drying on (read all about it here). This batch... not so good. More pictures of works-in-progress at my flickr account (click the picture). I'll have bails glued on and new pictures here tomorrow.
Here's what I've learned:
- It's super hard to find teeny tiny images and still be original.
- Glue and resin fumes really do make you dizzy & nauseous. Those warnings aren't for nothing! Open a window!!!
- You really need to watch out for resin seepage and do this: Resin Troubleshooting.
- They're addicting. I want to make more.
Thanks for posting your experience and tips on this - it is great to hear first hand stories from people on how to make things as it makes it much less intimidating to try and even if I fail, knowing other have failed and continue to try encourages me to keep trying.
