Playing with gemstones

Ok, this time some girly-stuff ^^
Gemstones for cosplay!

I am experimenting with gemstone making lately, because I will need them for my new cosplay project.

I used resin and glass paint for the first experiments, because I didn't have resin dye at the moment.
Well, let's say that glass paint worked for the first try, however it was not perfect. Sometimes colors were fading, or changing. But I think this fact is acceptable, glass paint is not for coloring resin after all.

Don't forget protection while working with resin!
The fumes are not good for your lungs (and skin) :<






I think my results are not bad for the first try
However, I will stop using glass paint, and will buy the resin dye, to make sure the colors turn out the way I want them.

I am trying to refine my technics, and maybe - if there is some interest - I am gonna accept orders for gemstones like this.







Variations for green (because I will need a green-ish color for my new costume):


Result of an experiment, but turned out interesting I guess (this one got the nickname "Universe")


And my personal favorites (I added some effects to the backside of the stones):




Hope you like them =^.^=
