How to Get Started 🚀

Prepare Your Workspace
Lay down a protective cover and gather your materials: Artline Honey Epoxy Resin, pigments, plastic wrap, and the mold of your choice.
Create Your Color Palette 🎨
Prepare two shades of a similar color – one darker and one brighter. This contrast will help create the depth and elegance of silk-like waves. For the silk effect technique, only dense, opaque colors are suitable, making these pigment pastes just perfect!
First Layer: Darker Shade
- Mix the resin as per instructions (2:1 by weight) and add the darker shade pigment.
- Pour the resin into your mold, ensuring even coverage.
- Lay a piece of plastic wrap on top of the resin.
- Use your hands to gently form waves, mimicking the folds of silk.
- Leave the resin to cure for 24-36 hours.
Second Layer: Brighter Shade
- Once the first layer is fully cured, carefully remove the plastic wrap.
- Mix the resin with the brighter shade pigment.
- Pour this layer over the cured resin in the mold, enhancing the silk-like effect.
- Allow it to cure for another 24-36 hours.
Final Touches
Once the resin has fully cured, admire the stunning silk-inspired design you’ve created! Your piece is now ready to shine as a unique and elegant addition to your collection. ✨
