Trying out polymer clay techniques with epoxy is not going to be very successful. One issue is the limited working time. Another is the workability is not the same. Fran is indeed very inspirational with her resin work!

I was underwhelmed with previous results, now I know what I need to get and do! thank you.

But..., I missed out on Fran's latest successful efforts with layering, playing with resin thickness timing to create dimension, and techniques to approximate more wave and lacy looks that are achievable with resin pours vs doming resin. I'm kinda in the same boat starting out with Apoxie Clay; what can I approximate of certain polymer techniques/effects (ie skinner blends, or chatoyancy) within the working differences and limits of epoxy clay.... That's a rhetorical question for now. I'm not finding an awful lot so far on that front. But back to Fran's efforts - Yay! Silicone oil might be a bit much but boy, alcohol drops were successful in her ocean creations. I'll be going back and making time chart notes. Thank you and Happy Happy New Year.

I watched with the sound off and found just watching the effects of each additional bit was very interesting. Knowing when to stop when adding in an swirling the white is key isn't it!
