Two-layer method for making faux opals out of resin and irridescent cellophane (mylar) glitter. The idea is to make the first layer clear, and put the cellophane glitter in that, then when that layer is set, make a second batch of resin, colour it, and pour it on top; this gives colour to the piece without obscuring the glitter (the bottom of the mould will be the front of the piece). This can be done for dark opals (using a dark background layer), and white opals (using pale glitter and white background).

Create a galaxy effect pendant tutorial. This one makes the galaxy background with white acrylic paint and (sparkly) black/blue/purple/clear nailpolish painted into a bezel. The 3D effect is done by layering glitter and stars and microbeads on top, and doming it all with (UV?) resin and adding a few more glitter-stars into that.

Resin pendant tutorial. The nifty idea in this tutorial is, after one has cast the main piece, to decorate the front of it by mixing up two-part epoxy GLUE, adding in a lot of glitter, and smooth it onto your piece with a toothpick. Because epoxy glue is thicker and sets quickly, it won't pour off the front like thin casting-resin will.,
