1 Cover the back of the porthole

spacer with a piece of tape,

making sure it is completely

sealed. Weigh out the minimum

amount of resin suggested and

mix thoroughly. Use the cocktail

sticks to add a light tint of ocean

colour, and carefully fill one-third of

the bezel. Leave the bezel to cure

for at least 6 hours.

2 Mix up a second batch of resin and

tint as before, mixing in pinch of glitter

as well. Gently place a tiny cog on

the layer in the porthole, and fill the

bezel to two-thirds full. Leave to set

for another 6 hours.

Repeat step 1, adding more tiny cogs,

to fill the bezel to the top. Allow it to

cure fully. Add a jump ring to the top

hole (see Opening and Closing Jump

Rings on page 15).

clay, (scoop out some of the clay

in place and soften the edges.

Spray the texture plate with water

and press it all over the marbled

clay. If some areas seem bare,

use additional cogs and tools to

texture the clay still further. 5

Press the large cogs into the clay, and

then have the clay smoothed down

around the spokes with a modelling

tool to secure firmly. Make sure they

don’t extend too far sideways from

the original backpIate.

and so on) as well as some basic work with polymer

clay, resin, shrink plastic and other mixed-media

techniques. She will then take them on a juant

through twenty projects divided between five themed

chapters, each it’s own fantastical story.

many devices of note.
