It dries and forms a skin. A shape is cut from that skin and could be applied to an existing bezel or to a custom-designed backing. Great question – thanks!

I love the different looks you can get with your Paint Drops technique – I’m sure no two of them are ever the same. Do people often ask you, “What kind of stone is that?” 🙂
