Roman Glass and France with Claire Ramsay
I love France. At first I thought I loved only Paris (and I do) but I really love France, especially the area around Toulouse. I also love to make jewelry, hammer on metal, put resin on paper to see what happens, and make rivets, so going to Susan’s class in France was perfect for [...]
No UV Lamp Necessary
Dear ICE Queen: Do I need a UV lamp to use this product? No. ICE Resin is a two part Epoxy resin not a 1 part UV Cure resin. They are two completely different chemical formulas. ICE Resin cures by proper measuring and mixing of part A resin and part B hardener. Using a UV [...]

Flickr Friday: Gather
Diane Cook of Rosa & Josie’s did not charm this Texas Scissortail to fly into her locket and lay a pearl egg in a Dupioni silk nest just for our Ice Queen Zine; she made it for Bead Soup. We love the realism Diane used creating the nest, how the silk threads sticking up are reminiscent [...]
Ask the ICE Queen: Solving Troubles with Bubbles
Dear ICE Queen: HELP! I noticed some large bubbles in my resin when it was almost fully cured. A friend told me to use a heat gun on it to pop the bubbles. I tried it, but all it did was crack my resin, and turn it yellow. Can this be fixed? Oh no, I’m [...]
