The good, the bad, and the ugly - Resin take 2 and glazing!

Happy Monday everyone!
Good news and bad news! 

THE GOOD 
I decided to make some more resin pieces!

I took some of the sprinkles I had and placed them by hand.  I added a little glitter to the resin to add that little special touch.

Since we were up in the mountains at the time, I picked some wildflowers outside and  tried placing them in some resin.  I do like the flowers in resin, but it would have probably looked better if it wasn't so cloudy.

I've started glazing my pieces, which REALLY clears up any cloudiness that happened.  At first I used clear nail polish since I had that on hand, but then I swapped to Triple Thick glaze after some research.  So lookin good.  Yay! :)

THE BAD 
I wanted to see what would happen if I put a sticker on resin! I had some old stickers from when I was a kid, so I took an old one that had fallen off its sheet to test things out.  I coated it with clear nail polish to protect the sticker and stuck it in.  I then placed glitter behind it because it didn't fill the whole area.  However, I noticed a bubble inconveniently located next to her nose, so I attempted to move the sticker around in an attempt to move it elsewhere.  I successfully moved the bubble, but glitter went places where I didn't want it to go.

Sorry Pocahontas sticker. You will be missed.

I also tried doing gummy bears, since you can stick food in resin.  However, if turned out like this.

Why is it so chunky you ask?

THE UGLY 
My Bead Landing resin has kicked the bucket before I could use it all. :'( The bottom of the resin was really chunky, cloudy, and crystallized, which messed up some of my pieces. I read online that resin will crystallize over time, so I'm guessing the resin kit I bought had been sitting in Michaels for quite a while.  Needless to say, I won't be buying that brand of resin anymore since the packaging doesn't allow for you to see the condition of the resin. 

Next time, I'll be trying Easy Cast resin and let you all know how that goes!
