I unscrew the the wooden top from the metal stand so that I can place it flat on my work table. 

Step 2

Before you do anything you must plan ahead, like what colors you have decide and how you are going to create your design, the reason being once you mix you resin, you have to work fast, because it will started to harden.

4) fine glitter (gold)

5) jumbo craft sticks for stiring

6) torch gun (used for crime brûlée) 

I got mine from Amazon. 

7) Gold metal leaves 

8) a box to cover your work 

9) drop plastic over your table and floor to catch any resin drops 

10) semiprecious stones i bought from Michael's, they sell them on a string.

11) measuring cups 

12) baby wipes 

13) plastic cups 

Prepare your work.

Get all your cups, measuring cup and sticks ready and pour the color you want to use in the cups. 

Measure the resin as instructed on the bottle.

Pour the amount you want in each cups and mix well. I pour more resin in the black acrylic because I was going to use more black in the design. 

I mix my antique gold acrylic with gold fine glitter and resin together

I then place the semi precious stone where I want it to be and pour white powder pigment with resin over the stones and then I pour one color at a time going from the center to the Outer rim.

When that is done I added metal gold leaf and glitter where I want it to be. 

 Once you are happy with design use a torch to torch out the bubbles. Work the torch from left to right.

Cover the work so that dust do not settle on it. Let it Hardened for 24 hours then pour the next layer and scattered glitter wherever you want so that it gives an illusion of layers. I had to do it 2 more times because of the stones, I had to completely cover it so that it will be level.

After you have finished all the layers then let it cure another 24 hours.
