How to make resin jewelry?
I have some questions regarding the basic coverage and techniques of resin jewelry, I’m very much a newbie with resin. I’m planning to make some transparent/colored pendants and beads with it.
1) What are the basic and most essential supplies for making resin jewelry? (coloring dyes, driller, etc.) Where to buy them and what brands?
2) How do you make a mold to cast resin into?
3) How do I make the resin beads/pendants have a metallic faux surface?
4) Is it possible the resin beads/pendants have a crystallized/multi faceted gem-like texture? How is it done?
5) Can you paint on the surface of the resin beads/pendants? What paint should I use? (I’ve had an experience with painting polymer clay with acrylic but it came out having a dull rough texture.. Is it the same with resin?)
That’s all. You don’t have to answer all of those, if you have some knowledge to share specifically for one question, the contribution is still greatly appreciated.
Thanks in advance. 
I use Ice Resin which is a non-toxic jewelers doming resin. It can be mixed in small quantities. I’ve only used commercial molds at this point. I’ve added color with acrylic paints and mica powders mixed into the resin. You can paint the surface or add papers then coat with resin for additional gloss. I’ve also used colored resin as a sort of poor man’s enamel for PMC projects. I buy Ice Resin at Abeille in Brookline. The product is a bit more expensive than other resins but it’s easy to use, non-toxic and doesn’t bubble. Hope this helps.
