Experimentation - Circular Panels

Birch plywood circular panels (40cm diameter) Having applied x3 layers of both Golden GAC 100 and Gesso to x3 circular panels, I am intending to experiment with resin, alcohol inks, texture paste as the base media.

I taped up the circumference to contain the resin, that I would be adding to the surface (I do not like to be messy!) A close up detail of the painted sand I then decided I would start adding some clear resin and so I firstly taped up all the way around the circumference. I wanted to be able to contain the resin and only allow it to move around the front surface of the wooden panel. I definit
