Share ideas!

For the class project I want to share something that I tried and did not work. Maybe someone has a tip for me :)
I would love to try to make resin work with embroidery. I tried several times and my first problem was that the threads became really dark and did not look nice. So I tried to use only resin in a small hoop with paint and see how that would go. It started to shrink on the sides.
For this project, I used still water effect paint for miniature painting. I glued transparent sheets on the embroidery hoop and added the still water effect paint. Unfortunately, the paint started to break and did not get the effect I wanted.
Let me know if you have some tips for me on this project and I will try them out and add a bonus video! Let me know in your project what kind of tips you would like to receive.
