Excuse the messy photo - paint pouring can be a messy business. I hope you can see where the geode ends against the mess underneath.
This was a first experiment for me. I had tried to pour the paint in rings, but it decided to do its own thing, even though it was on a levelling table. The colours are blue, turquoise, green, black, white and purple (created by mixing red and blue). I used ready prepared pouring paint from the Glass Hut.
So okay it did it's own thing and I wasn't to sure about it - but I threw some glass chippings on it (from Dunelm) and hoped for the best. I wasn't sure whether it would work or whether I would need to try and colour the glass chippings with alcohol inks first (that will be a different experiment I think). When it is dry I will apply some clear resin over it. It takes a few weeks for the paint to "cure" before I can resin it - so will share a picture of the finish article in due course.
I have another geode blank and that is currently drying with white gesso on it, and I shall try and pour that one with just resin (watch this space)
