I was fortunate enough to be able to sit in on my friend Jen Cushman's Ice Resin class this last December at Seaside Soiree (a wonderful mixed media art retreat). We were both teaching and were able to take each others classes, which almost never happens for instructors. In this class Jen shared her love for Ice Resin and from there I was hooked... I have not stopped playing with it since!
The wonderful team at Ice Resin (Susan Lenart Kazmer) have offered up this AMAZING prize to go along with this first episode of My Craft Channel show. This prize has a Retail value of $25.
To Win, simply leave a comment here on my blog and let us know anything else you think Ice Resin would be fun to create with. Please leave a comment here on the blog by August 20th (Monday) at midnight MST and I will announce the winner the next day when we feature the next My Channel Video episode.
For more information on Ice Resin, make sure to check out their blog and their creative team. These are seriously some of the most creative artists and jewelry makers out there!
Thanks again for your support :) My heart is full with all of the wonderful love and support my friends have shared. I was a wee bit nervous (especially with this first episode) So to have so many wonderful comments, emails and facebook remarks has been a joy. Thank you!
Thanks again,
Liz Hicks ♥
I never used ice resin before. I just watched your video and I am really intrigued. I can't wait until the next episode.
ReplyDeleteKaren, the next episode uses Ice Resin to create custom gems for crafting and jewelry making. Ice Resin is amazing stuff... it didn't take me long to get hooked, lol.
DeleteI am hooked!! Pam the owner of Strawberryfields Scrapbook Shop introduced me to Ice Resin and I am crazy for it! My favorite thing today is to play with it on paper. Just love how it makes the paper transparent. You can use them alone or with other pieces! Can't wait to see your next show, Liz. I am very excited for you!
ReplyDeleteyou rocked it -- and now I want to make resin jewelry! Loved this and can't wait until next time! Chat soon.
ReplyDeleteThis really looks like fun!

Thanks for this episode, I'm curious about the next segment.
Saw the episode, I've heard about Ice Resin as well, just didn't know the difference! I paint along with making jewelry, I would love to try Ice Resin with my paintings, I often add beadwork to my paintings, this would look cool to add together!

Thanks Liz... really interesting.. my only concern.. I might be hooked! :) I can see it for so many different applications... making fabric into shapes... I guess just playing with it!
ReplyDeleteLiz your tutorial is wonderful. I'm so excited for the next installment. I have wanted to try Ice Resin, but lack the confidence. I think I will watch your series & give it a try. I want to make personal embellies for my cards, scrapping & jewelry.
ReplyDeleteI have been wanting to work with resin for a while now. I am especially excited since you have shown how easy it is to work with. Thanks!!
ReplyDeleteYeah! Go Liz! You rock girl! And great job too! I love using Ice Resin using found metal detecting thing-a-ma-jigs as bezels. It's so rustic! :)
ReplyDeleteI've seen Ice Resin but had never tried it before - other resins but not this one - after watching - I'm going out to get some!!!! Looks awesome!!!
ReplyDeleteI've had some ice resin for some time now and just haven't started playing with it, so your video has inspired me to jump on in and start playing! Will be looking forward to each of the successive videos! I would like to see it with making paper clear...I caught that technique some time back and would love to see more of the things one could do with the ice resin and papers. Thanks!
ReplyDeleteFabulous video thanks! Am now a subscriber.
ReplyDeleteYou did a fantastic job and now I want to learn more about working with Ice Resin. Now am a subscriber, too.... So... I don't know for sure what to suggest... can it be used alone in a mold?
ReplyDeleteHey Liz,
ReplyDeleteI have never used resin before and this looks like so much fun. I can't wait to try it on my scrapbook pages and cards. I would definitely love to use this on my creating some of my own embellishments. Can't wait to see more. Thanks for sharing!
You did fine on your episode!! I think resin would be perfect for picture charms. Could you add color to it and make ear rings?
ReplyDeleteExcellent project idea with resin and its so nice to be able to personalize my jewelry Congratulations on your first episode, cant wait to see the next one and all subsequent episodes FUN
ReplyDeleteIce REsin looks interesting. Is there a lot of waste? I'd love to make jewelry with it!
ReplyDeleteNever heard of it. I learn so much watching creative people like you. curious to see what you'll do next & then try it myself!
ReplyDeletevideo did not play. :(
ReplyDeleteThis has inspired me to make some personalized Christmas gifts for my niece who has an unusual christian name. Thanks for the video.
ReplyDeleteI learned in a class that you can use resin ice on paper to make it sturdy and it gives it a cool look.
ReplyDeleteHi Liz -
ReplyDeleteLoved the episode on mycraftchannel.com. I am formally a jewelry maker and my friends loved my designs; however, I've grown stale with just beads and chain. This has inspired me to make a few more gifts, but I'm going to have to find stuff online since my local stores don't carry the resin. Won't my friends be surprised when they see my new jewelry techniques?! Thanks again for the inspiration.
I've never heard of ice resin but am very intrigued after watching you on My Craft Channel. You make it look so easy that I'd love to give it a try with my daughter and make some fun necklaces or bracelets. So glad that I found you and am looking forward to seeing more videos!
ReplyDeleteI've been wanting to know how to make resin jewelry, thanks!! Can't wait to try it!
ReplyDeleteWas excited last week when I saw the intro for your new show. I've never heard of Ice Resin, I love that it gets rid of the bubbles. I've used regular resin once or twice before & there were always bubbles. Looking forward to seeing the 2nd part of this show in how you color it. I would love to see what else you could use it with things you have at home like maybe an ice cube tray or a cookie cutter or make a mold out of from things at home & how it releases. I'm crossing my fingies that I win,because I would love to try it!!! Thanks for the chance to win!

Haven't had a chance to watch the video but can't wait! I've been collecting things, mostly from thrift stores, that I can put ice resin in and that I can put in ice resin. Can't wait to start unsing it!!
ReplyDeleteThis looks so fun! I'd like to make Christmas ornaments!
ReplyDeleteThis is the first time I've heard of ice resin. And it seems amazing! I'm a paper crafter so I haven't delved into jewelry making, but loved your bracelets. I love how you can completely customize any piece. I find myself wondering if ice resin would be safe to use over pictures? Maybe in a locket, over a picture to really seal it and make it shiny? Can't wait for the next episode! =)
ReplyDeleteIt is a great product that works wonderful for ephemera. Ice Resin boasts that it will seal your pics forever... I find it amazing with pics :) You might want to check out their website for tips on using it with your pictures. They have a ton of info there.
DeleteAh, you lucky girl! I love Ice Resin and drool when I see Jen's work. I have used it a few times (great product), but have just used it as a basic fill in bezels. Look forward to seeing some of the things you are making.
ReplyDeleteI have never used Ice Resin before. Love the bracelet and definitely checking their website to incorporate in my scrapbooking.
ReplyDeleteLove the video...I can't wait to give it a try. I am going to use it on bottle caps.
ReplyDeleteI'd love to use it for some charms to add to my cardmaking!
ReplyDeleteI love to use resin ice on paper to make it sturdy and it gives it a cool look. Iam going to use it in my scrapbooking.

ReplyDeleteI have seen this product where i work and am excited to try my hand at it! you can make such beautiful things! just adore the bracelet and the sparkle!so many ideas!
ReplyDeleteI do have some resin, this is just the boost I need to get me going. Thanks!!
ReplyDeleteI love ice resin. I am just learning what all you can do with it so I was excited that you were using it on my craft channel.
ReplyDeleteI am SO glad you did this tutorial because I have never used resin before but have been interested in it for awhile. I would love to use it to make jewelry, as you did, but also am interested in trying it in my mixed media pieces with my paper ephemera as well as beads, buttons and other "pretties" I like to add.
ReplyDeleteThank you for the chance to win some of the Ice Resin, it would be great to be able to get some to start with.
For future episodes, will I need to go to the channel every Tues, or because I subscribe to your blog will I receive an email like I did today with the video embedded? Thanks for letting me know so I can keep watching!
Either way is fine. I usually add a little more info here on my blog, and follow up with a few other project ideas... In the future the videos will not be embedded here, so you will have to go to the My Craft Channel site to see the videos. If you could stop by both, I would greatly appreciate it!
DeleteI remember my first love! I wanta know more!
ReplyDeleteI have never used or seen Ice Resin! This looks so fun and appreciated your tutorial! Am a follower here and on FB so look forward to more! TFS!
ReplyDeleteI'm excited to see more uses of ice resin. I always wondered about exactly how it works. Thank you for showing us :)
