  • When I discovered this technique using resin and metal foil, I was astonished. It happened by accident and a most pleasant accident it was. It is so easy to do and I am surprised I had not thought about doing it before.

    Hi
    If you cut the leaf into small squares you don't have to waist so much when you cover the dots. Thanks again for your videos

    I finally got the self levelling work top. Each time I’ve gone to order one… it had sold out. It’s not exactly cheap, so I finally treated myself to one yesterday… as a belated Christmas pressie, to myself! Im setting it up tomorrow, so watch this space.

    You can a very similar design by using metallic mica on details and removing excess will isopropanol and a cotton wool cue tip . Then adding a different mica . Cheaper easier less messy and just as good results but still their very nice. I'm into free form bowls right now and people love them

    This is great. Tip maybe? Cover the mushroom head first then use the tape to clean off the dots? That way you use less leaf.

    I too love the frog!! All of them are so shiny and cute. I have a lot of foil but haven't gotten to use it yet.... I'm not sure if what I have will work for this idea because it's just flakes. I'm going to try it anyway. Thank you again for the idea.
    Have a GREAT weekend.

    Am addicted to glitter, foil and holographic cellophane, almost in that order. Have been looking for more foil to use and I think you have given me the link I have been looking for. Have so much in makeup brushes from various times people have gifted me with makeup sets, and I can't do it as they have castor oil in them and yeah, allergic. Also learning that I can have gold in pieces, just the findings can be the silver. Due to my own allergies to gold unless it's the high grade gold and not plated, I welt and/or what it touches turns bright red. So all my stuff is done in silver, plus, it doesn't take away from the piece itself, at least that's how I see it. Thank you Steve, for another great idea to work on.
