Using a silicone muffin case I placed in the bottom a picture, some gilding flakes and some glitter then poured a layer of melted utee over it, I then added a word, more flakes and glitter, poured again then repeated.
It came out ok but there are a few crater holes and a bit of a sqiggly pattern from where there wans't much utee in the pan and it came out in a drizzle rather than the nice big puddle you need for a smooth finish. The first thing I've learnt is "don't skimp on the utee". You can also see how quickly the utee "yellows" once its been in the pan a while, I quite like this look but it might bother some people. Another thing I've found is that the words and picture were printed on paper and as you can see they almost look as though they've got wet, I think card would work better in future projects.
Its not perfect but overall I'm quite pleased with this, I love the layers, it's so tactile and a little bit magical.
