All I have are memories and your picture in a frame. I think of you in silence, I often speak your name. I thought about you yesterday and days before that too. Thanks for sharing this nice project."I thought of you today, but that is nothing new. The E-6000 is black (yes!) so when I first squirted it on the pendant I was afraid it would taint the picture didn't happen. After the glaze dries and you cut the excess paper, before you glue glass to pendant, you can try it to see if it will fit into the pendant it's a bit tricky to get it out, but don't panic and it will come out eventually. (This stuff is definitely addictive, so you'll infallibly make more, believe me!) It seems the glaze makes the pictures a bit lighter than the original no big deal though. I suggest you save your tries in Word once you find the perfect size, put all other images in the same Word page and hit save, so you will have a good reference for the future. It's a bit tricky to get the exact size-especially because they are so tiny. Now, for a little bit of my experience making these. Fell in love with all of them, and won't part with them, no, no, no! OK, I'm calm. I made three so far with just the faces from: Botticelli's Venus, a Pompeii fresco some believe to be Safo, and a Madonna from Sanzio. OK, I looked and found Diamond Glaze online-yay! The medallions are really tiny, but the final product is very pretty. I really am happy with the results and know my sister will be also. The brand I used is guaranteed to stay crystal clear and is self doming. It does take 6-10 hours to completely dry but the results were worth it. It actually made the pictures look better than before I poured. Once I poured, the rest of the tiny bubbles just disappeared. You mix in a disposable plastic cup with a craft stick slowly so that you do not create a lot of bubbles. It seemed a little scarey at first but with the plunger brand I used, the plungers are attached to one another so you just push on both sides with equal pressure at the same time. I still have half of the plunger full for next time. It only took half of the amount supplied to do all 6 charms (1/2" ea), a 1.5" pendant and a 1" oval bookmark and I had a little left over. It seemed kinda pricey when I purchased it but went a lot further than I expected. I got the dual resin and hardener plunger pack. This time I used the liquid resin and poured my own domes. I have tried to use the pre-made glass domes in the past but had trouble with one or two in every package distorting the picture underneath. It keeps the pic from any blurring, running or discoloration. It recommends that you seal both sides letting dry in between sides. I used a liquid photo sealer from Hobby Lobby. You can use any clear spray paint or photo sealer. I just finished a bracelet, key-chain and bookmark for my sister. I don't know if it matters, I know the article I read said Dollar Store hair spray was what they used, I don't if it matters, but that's what I will be trying when im out of the other stuff! Hope this helps someone as much as it has me! Delete Not a thing smudged!!! I couldn't even believe it! So, I use that technique on everything I print out, even if I might not even mod podge it, just in case! Lol! The hairspray I use is kind of expensive only bc I bought it at a hair dressing supply place, I do have my license, I still paid around $6 for the bottle, but I use it for this only bc I don't like it, and its a Medium hold (Big Sexy Medium hold Silk Spray). Why not mod Podge too? I sprayed my print outs, and I even did some reeaaalllll colorful printouts, of mainly black and white, with some real strong reds, or blues, accenting the pic. Oh, and I'm not sure why I didn't put this here, but I use Mod Podge, a LOT for my primitive crafts, and make labels that I print out on my ink jet, I used to get the smudge too, male everything look pink or yellowish, and it drove me insane, then I read somewhere someone used hairspray as a sealer, so I thought, Hmmm.
