Scrabble Tile Necklace

I have seen over and over how to make scrabble tile necklaces and have been wanting and wanting to give it a try.   Finally, I gathered the supplies and gave it a try. 
I will tell you first off that I did not take any pictures because honestly, I thought it was going to turn into a big mess.   I was a little frightened of the resin.
 I followed this tutorial over at Make and Takes exactly and she took beautiful pictures.
The one problem was that I could not find the Diamond Glaze.  The only thing I could find was the old fashion resin that you had to mix yourself.  ( Hence my fear and almost certainty that this project was going to be a mess.)
But, I will say, even with using a slightly more difficult resin it was a surprisingly easy project.  I made one for myself  and my sister.  The resin is not at all hard to work with and just takes a little patience and a light hand.  It does not run all over ( well not too much) and after it dries thoroughly, any drips can be cut and sanded off easily.
Here is the only picture I have and it was taken with my camera phone, so it stinks.    My sister loved it.  ( She has to, right?)  But I have had people stop me and ask about my necklace, so strangers would not lie.    
In either case, I will  be doing this project again for certain.   And this time, I will take good pictures.
