You can't be too stingy with the glue when you're sealing your artwork. This pendant was from a batch of scrabble tile pendants for Christmas. I was running low on glue sealant and didn't go over the back of the papers as thick as I normally do. I figured since I was gluing them to the scrabble tiles, it would be okay. As you can see, the results were a disaster! About half of that batch of pendants have "water marks" and can't be used.
I also found out that I can't look for bubbles too often. Once I pour resin over the tiles, I go back over them and look for bubbles to remove. (I use a combination of a heat gun and toothpick to get them out.) Aargh! I missed one on this pendant. It's also headed to the scrap pile.
Overall, I feel good when everything goes well, but hate when I get to the end and don't have a salable piece of jewelry.
