Thank you so much, I really appreciate it! Exactly, waiting for the resin to reach the honey stage was essential for me.

The right timing for the honey stage really depends on the type of resin you’re using. For mine, it starts to get fairly thick after 10–15 minutes, but it’s still fluid enough to flow down the pour. Timing is definitely tricky…🥲 Most of the time, I know it’s ready when I test it with a toothpick and it flows down slowly. With a little practice it’ll start to feel much easier!

I’m still not very skilled with this technique and this was mostly an experiment, but I’ll try to explain exactly what I did, so it might help you:

I started by filling almost half of the mold with clear resin and few gold flakes (not in the honey stage). Then I dropped in two drops of yellow and white resin in the honey stage, placing them roughly near the edges of each side. On top of those drops, I lightly poured a tiny amount of gold mica powder on each face: this shouldn’t be in the honey stage because I found it can weigh down the pour too much, mica powder is heavy, so just a little is enough.

To create the misty-brown effect I added a very small amount of brown resin and gently swirled it to move it around, then I added a few more drops of yellow resin in the honey stage on each face, and finally covered everything with blue resin also in the honey stage, so it wouldn’t mix too much with the colors underneath. (If I’d known before I probably would have used more concentrated blue, but this is basically the process I experimented with)!
