It is really a full issue. And, we had to cut down or save a lot of the material for later because the contributors for this issue sent us so much good stuff! So this week, I&#8217;ll share some of what we couldn&#8217;t get in.<\/p>\n<p>Julie Cleveland&#8217;s article, &#8220;Rules of Resin&#8221; could have been\u00a0a book\u00a0for all the information there is out there on the subject. However, we choose to go into the basics, but in depth, so any of you could confidently and successfully work with resin and combine it with your polymer. A number of artists with extensive resin experience shared their work with us to include in the article, but we hardly had room for everything we wanted to share with our readers. \u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/beadazzleme.blogspot.com\/\" target=\"_blank\">Sherri Kellberg<\/a> was one such contributor. She creates beautiful, shimmering pieces often finished with a resin coating. Recently, she played with a dichroic glass look in polymer and got some stunning results. Some of that work is in the resin article, but here is another piece that\u00a0looks almost unreal in its shimmer and color. The resin acts like a magnifying glass that amplifies the colors and makes the surface texture look more three dimensional. It&#8217;s just one of many small advantages to using resin as a polymer finishing material.<\/p>\n<p>You can see more of Sherri&#8217;s work in her recent collection of dichoric look polymer <a href=\"http:\/\/beadazzleme.blogspot.com\/2014\/12\/polymer-clay-faux-dichroic-jewelry.html\" target=\"_blank\">on her blog<\/a> and more of her shimmering resin and polymer work on <a href=\"https:\/\/www.etsy.com\/shop\/BeadazzleMe\" target=\"_blank\">her Etsy\u00a0pages<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><em>If you like this blog, support The Polymer Arts projects with a subscription
