Sew Lost in an ICE Resin moment...

I've been doing a lot of experimenting with ICE Resin lately...

1. Projects for the upcoming CHA ICE Resin booth.

By the way, I'll be there Jan 31 and Feb 1 demonstrating how to create with this versatile product. Stop by and say hi. I'd love to meet you...

2. Projects for upcoming Creative Team Wednesday posts on the ICE Queen E-Zine.

3. Just for fun...I wanted to see what else I could create and do with the resin.

I've played with resin-coated paper. I've created filled bezels. I've used it as an adhesive. I've even cast small dimensional pieces with it.

But...I wanted to go BIGGER!!!

Here is my first BIGGER experiment...

 The clear, textured casting is approximately 7" x 9" on a larger multi-layered fabric base panel.

I've always been fascinated by the alpha exemplars featured in Somerset Studio magazine. I've wanted to attempt to make one, but I am not the best when it comes to drawing or creative lettering. But working with dimension, paint, texture...well, that I'm not afraid to experiment with.

My wonderful Phillip bought me a sewing machine for Christmas...a completely unexpected surprise! Not because he isn't ALWAYS surprising me, but a sewing machine wasn't even on my radar!!!

I had originally thought I'd be drilling holes and hand-sewing this piece together, but then I had a bright idea (of course, in hindsight..cause had it NOT worked, I might be regretting that bright idea right now...if my machine had been damaged..., but it worked...and now I'm elated!)


With my machine speed set to the lowest setting, I proceeded to sew the resin panel to my fabric...WOW!!! I am so going to be doing this again...!!! I LOVE IT!!!!

I really like the dimension, the texture, the look of the whole experiment... even my little fabric flower (first one I've ever made) turned out ok.



I guess you can say, I was truly, SEW Lost in a MOMENT....
