Description
This is my first project working with resin. The drink me potion looks realistic enough, however, I stirred the color into the resin too vigorously resulting in lots of little bubbles. The tag is made out of polymer clay, and I added a super cute little key charm! I want to make this into a necklace eventually β₯Related content

Wow, this would be a great necklace for any Alice in Wonderland fans! 
Do you use pigments specified for use with resin, or oil paints (or something else)?

I ended up making this into a necklace like you suggested

Awww thank you! The key charm is pretty small. Β I actually used fabric dye called dye-na-flow by Jaquard. I read that it works well to keep a nice translucent color, and I thought it worked nicely!

No problem! I've seen pretty great reviews for dye-na-flow, but I use oil paints (easily available lol). They're translucent, but kinda chunky to mix. Dye-na-flow does look really good though!

Yes, it works really well! I want to try using oil paints as well though, do you recommend any good brands?

I use a ProPaint 12 colour pack Β for AUD$4(12ml in each tube. A little goes a long way). It's nicely translucent when mixed, but it's a bit jelly-like, so you have to REALLY squish it and mix it! I wouldn't recommend the scarlet colour of this brand though, the resin destroys the colour and makes it orange.You might want to get a small 12 colour pack, try it out, and use Dye-na-flow to replace the colours that come out weird. Good luck!
Also, thanks for the points!
