Faux cloisonne butterfly pendant

In a past few months I have bought myself a large number of tutorials both on polymer clay and wire wrapping, but until now I didn't use any of them. I think I just love browsing the photos of the tutorials, which gives me enough satisfaction :)))
Yesterday I decided to try out one of the tutorials I've bought from Eugena Topina.
I love her stylish works, and I love her well-written tutorials. I've made myself a butterlfy pendant following this tutorial.

I'm very happy with a wire outline of a butterfly in this pendant, but not so happy with a resin layer. It's been a first time I used resin, and I think I've got mixed up with the ratio of components. I will make it better next time, just need some practice :)

  4. Hi! Lovely piece! I've been considering purchasing this tutorial, can you tell me if it requires special equipment, like a kiln for firing? I don't have one, so I just want to make sure I have access to all the right materials (and they aren't too expensive. Thanks for the help!

    1. Hello,
      Sorry for the late reply. You do not need a kiln, conventional oven is enough for hardening polymer clay.
