Here are a few excerpts:
“When Jen Cushman first gave me a copy of her beautiful, self-published book, Explore, Create, Resinate: Mixed Media Techniques using Ice Resin , I was excited to see what it looked like, though I have to admit, I wasn’t so sure I’d actually be creating anything with resin anytime soon because I’ve had less-than-stellar results with it in the past. But now . . .look! I’ve made something and thanks to Jen’s helpful tips in her book, I didn’t even mess any part of my project up! Ice Resin really is a great resin, as I’m sure many of you already know and in her book, Jen really does a great job of explaining how to use the product with great success.”
Also...
Explore, Create, Resinate..."is spine-bound with glossy pages and a gorgeous, artistic feel. No “cutesy” captions here! It feels like you’ve walked into the most wonderful and amazing vintage curiosities shop the minute you open the front cover.
I think the book a must-have for any artist/crafter who wants to “explore” resin. It’s straightforward enough (and the steps simple enough) for a beginner, but the projects look very advanced and certainly give off the air of “high art.”
And...
“The explanations are clear, understandable and logical. The photos are excellent—everyone on Susan’s Design Team has participated, enhancing Jen’s text with intriguing projects that make you want mix, blend and pour!”
