I coat my artwork with Mod Podge, then use Mod Podge to adhere the art work into the pendants. After this dries, I pour a two part jewelery grade doming resin (Annie Hoves Luxe) into the pendant tray. It comes out really nice.

No, I tried to touch up - not an even finish. I had the same concerns about the fake jewels, and real ones. So I tried it first on something I did not really care about - great results! So, I plunged right in and did all of my pieces. Not one had a problem with the "jewels" and the pieces looked great! Glad that you asked, as it reminds me that I have a few more pieces that I want to do.

Definitely. The jewels come with a fairly strong natural adhesive. (Think poster tape)

You can make plastic jewelry, or, using specialized filament you can make blanks from which you can make molds which you can than use to make jewelry. I would google 'making jewelry on 3d printers'.

this is probably the lowest end card i would get for digital artwork. It really depends on how elaborate the work you are going to be doing.

These are used with a kit that you have. To buy before hand. It will have a holder, a Scrapper, and a rubber stamper. Once u have all those items u place the disc u plan to use into the holder dab poilsh on the design u wish to use then use scrapper to remove excess poilish and use the stmper to pick up the design then with a rolling motion transfer the design to your nail

I would not use this on silver plated items. It actually ruined two pair of my earrings.

there is a paint thinner by createx or depending on what you want to use it for.. clear windex works good for me.. ( I use this for spray painting finger nail designs)

I have used this resin in silicone molds and plastic containers and jewelry molds and added confetti and decorations ie charms, stickers, sprinkles etc. I don't quite understand how you work with canvas mixed media, or what you would pour it into to mold the shape, but the resin is excellent quality. It works best when the room temp is a tad warm, you should open a window for ventilation. Be very careful to mix EQUAL parts stir slowly ! and for about 5 minutes scraping the sides, wooden popsicles sticks and plastic colored shot glasses from the dollar store work great to stir the resin, as you have to constantly throw them away after mixing so they are affordable and economical. Use wax paper for your work area, the resin can damage furniture or counter top. If there are any bubble after you pour simply take a straw and blow gently thru it over the resin and they will be gone. Hope this helps. I have used this resin for quite a long time with great results. I usually buy it at my local craft store with the 50 percent off coupon and it is really economical, not sure I can mention the name of said craft store, but you can buy plenty with the 50 % off, I do it weekly and sometimes print 2 and take a friend and print 2 more and visit another store. EasyCast also sells jewelry molds that I have used for making crafts ( I own a business) with this resin instead of jewelry, they are a bit hard to get out of plastic molds, you DO NOT need to buy mold release. It takes 24 hours for the resin to dry don't touch it and as mentioned before be careful to mix equal parts. If you put your mold in the freezer for 10 min or so the shapes pop right out. Hope this helps. PS do not attempt to buy candy molds for this resin the results will be very disappointing. Use silicone molds or jewelry molds. As stated jewelry molds are a lot harder to get the region out of but 10 min in the freezer and they pop out.

I've used this software to create Glitter and Sparkle images for websites. It's beautiful and works really well. http://gems.smileygenerator.us/ The URL above is a website where I display my very best pieces of work. All done through Paint Shop Pro and Jasc Animation software.. :)

Don't know what the "best" is, but I use this, with 3M positionable mounting adhesive #568 (available on Amazon), to mount photo prints (inkjet) to foam-core and other similar mounts. Works great once you get the hang of it. (I don't put any sort of "laminate" over the mounted prints, however.)

mix cement to the consistency of clay pour into molds put their prints in and let dry

I have used it for a stone for my wife's bracelet and a pearl for a pendant. The big issue is in the drill bits the press is strong enough. You must let it do its job slowly, and get out the drill once in a while to blow dust off. Don't try to force it through. For a drill bit I would pic diamond ones. You will be "sanding" your way in so it would take some time but it's the safest method from my experience, both for the machine and the beads. Use a good bench press, don't expect to be able to hold the bead with your hands while drilling.

I use it to make anything from jewelry pendants to paperweights to switch covers. Actually the bigger the project, the quicker it actually sets. What are you planning on making? If you don't mind me asking :)

I use my lightbox to trace paper piecing and applique fabrics. You just put the blank paper over the pattern to trace. Photocopying is another alternative if you can adjust the machine so the size is exactly reproduced--I've had trouble with that but find tracing relaxing.
