Lay a piece of parchment (or a couple pieces of palette) paper onto your level working surface. Place your layered wood frame in the middle on your tripods to elevate.
TIP: Use a piece of cardboard or other hard, mobile item under the palette paper so you can easily move your piece while it dries.

#@#

Mix equal parts resin and hardener as directed on the packaging.

#@#

Separate the resin in five disposable cups. Set a cup of clear resin aside. In separate cups add dark blue powder to one, turquoise powder to one, Gold powder to one and finally white to the last cup. Mix well each one until well blended.

#@#

Pour Gold resin on the top, flat section of your wood frame. Spread evenly.

#@#

In the deepest sections, starting at the outer edge, pour in some (not all) of your darkest blue resin.

#@#

Now, pour some turquoise resin in the middle section.

#@#

Pour your remaining turquoise resin into your darkest blue resin, add a little white powder to soften, if needed, and mix well.

#@#

Pour this new blue between your dark blue and turquoise sections in the frame.

#@#

Pour clear resin between your turquoise and the Gold “beach” sections.

#@#

Pour lines of white along the beach line and around the ocean.

#@#

Use your hair dryer to move and soften the white lines as well as eliminate bubbles. Let set.

#@#

If needed, mix more resin and fill the rest of your frame with clear resin and let cure.
TIP: Add a few shells with clear resin and let set.
