Yes
When we did our tatting pendant projects, we started with Tim Holtz facets. I really wanted the ones with the indent that you can fill but they weren't available locally. I debated between the different shapes and the packages of all the same shapes. The multiple shapes won out. Purchased at JoAnn Superstore
I had wanted to try DG3 art gel because I had read such good things about it, but once again neither Diamond Glaze or DG# was available locally so I bought Inkssentials Glossy Accents - supposed to be the exact same as Diamond Glaze. I found this at Craft Warehouse (a chain in the Pacific Northwest).
The next step is to find a fun pattern that ends up really small. I did some bluebirds of happiness. Teresa made an angel for mom, GirlFarFromHome made a gorgeous and Teresa made a beautiful for herself. You saw those in Teresa's post.
The rest was trial and error. Your put the tatting on the back of the pendant shape and put a THIN layer to attach it. Believe me we used really thick layers and that was NOT the way to go. Several light layers gave a much better result.
Happy Tatting.
Teresa - show us how to use this with our tatting! Please!!!!!

hmmm...I have some diamond glaze and I also have some plastic shapes of one kind or another...will have to dig...and lots of little shuttle endings. Oh...I got the glaze and some glass squares to make something else I have yet to get to. Oh stop me! I do not have time to do this now! Stop! Stop!
How cool! This is going on my to-do list. (:
Teresa has the makings for tatting in glass pendants.
Maybe she will make some and blog about it for Tatting Tea Tuesday.
Everyone ask her very nicely, like this -
HEY TERESA GET OFF YOUR PATOOT AND TAT SOMETHING FOR US
I REALLY appreciate this information! I love this idea! The two-part epoxy systems seemed to be so messy, and I never saw the faceted molds before.
Thanks for the brand names and the explanation of how you did this!
I have never used this type, I have only used the kind where you mix the 2 resins together... I have done a lot of different things with it, but not this and not this product
