Making the orgonite

Step 1: Preparation

First, shop for all the supplies you need. Are you going to make a graceful pyramid like me in this manual or are you going to make a pyramid with healing properties (orgonite)? Think carefully about what you want to make. What colors do you like? What should your pyramid radiate? You can also draw your design on a piece of paper so that you know what you are doing. 
Browse around the itsOkay site and choose which decorations you want to incorporate into your pyramid. The pyramid consists of multiple layers of resin. You make it per layer. Each layer must dry for 24/48 hours. With a pyramid like this, you will be busy for a week before it is ready. Below I will tell you how I made mine, but above all follow your own creative flow.

Step 2: The Mixing epoxy casting resin and the first layer

Make sure you have everything ready on a clean and level work surface. You can use a spirit level to check whether the surface is level. There are apps for this on your mobile phone, if you don't have a spirit level at home. If your work surface is crooked, the resin will flow crooked and you don't want that. Are you going to pour transparently? Then always add UV blocker to your epoxy mixture.

I use the Epoxy 1:1 casting resin . This is resin for large surfaces. I am going to mix this in a silicone mixing cup. Weigh it accurately on a scale. The amount depends on how thick you want the layer. I started with a transparent clear color. This will be the point of the pyramid. Pour the resin into the mold. Then burn away the air bubbles with a burner. You do this by briefly passing the fire along the air bubbles. Be careful of the mold: it can melt if you let the burner burn on 1 point for too long. Let the resin dry for a day and continue after about 24 hours.

Step 3: Layer 2 (I pour a dried flower)

Mix a small amount of clear resin in a separate cup. Pour this into the mold on top of the first layer (which you made yesterday), so that it is evenly distributed on the surface. Then place a decoration in the middle. Remember to place it upside down! Push the decoration well into the resin with a stick. Go over the resin again with a burner against the air bubbles. Let the resin dry for about 24 hours. When the pyramid is finished, you will be able to see this nice flower in the tip. This way you have more control over the flower than if you would have put it in the first layer right away. This way it does not sink and stays in place better. Note: it is very important that the mold is level while drying, otherwise the decoration will slide to the other side.

Step 4: Layer 3 with a light pink color

I thought it would be fun to make a pyramid in pink tones. This pink color is the color of love and strength. And everyone can use that! I chose a light pink color for this layer. I mixed a little bit of pink through the clear resin, so that it remains transparent and not full of color. In this color I also used a glitter powder. Go over the resin again with a burner and let it dry for 24 hours.

Step 5: Layer 4 with a full color

After so many light layers, it was time for a full color. And again pink chosen, but now a full color. So you first mix a little bit of resin with color pigments and fill the pyramid. Go over the resin again with a burner and let it dry for 24 hours.

Step 6: Layer 5 with gold resin

Here I have made resin and added a tiny bit of gold pigment. After this I have put a lot of glitters in this same container and mixed well with a stick. This creates a glitter paste of resin. That already looks very nice. I have poured this back into the mold on top of the dark pink layer. Go over the resin again with a burner and let it dry for 24 hours.

Step 7: Layer 6 soft pink colored layer

On top of the gold layer I poured another soft pink layer. Mix the resin with the pigments and pour it over the glittering gold layer in the mold. Go over the resin again with a burner and let it dry for 24 hours.

Step 8: Layer 7 with glass stones

With this layer I was in doubt whether to make it with dried flowers or with glass stones. I went for the latter option. I prepared the resin again in a cup and added a lot of stones to it. Mixed well and poured over the soft pink layer in the mold. Spread the stones with a skewer. Make sure they are well against the edges, because that is where you will see them best later. Go along the resin again with a burner and let it dry for 24 hours. These glass stones look like rock crystal. This way the clearness of the point comes back nicely in this layer.

Step 9: Layer 8 the last layer

Now we have arrived at the last layer. I personally like to make this dark. Then you can clearly see that the pyramid starts there. You can see through bright colours, which makes it seem to float. I choose a full pink colour. I mixed the resin and added pigments again. Mix well and pour into the mould. Then fire again and let it dry.

Unmolding

And this is the most fun part! When the pyramid is dry (definitely let it dry for 24 hours after the last step) you can remove the pyramid from the mold. Drumroll......WOW :) It's gorgeous! Don't you think so?

The edges of the bottom may still feel sharp. You can remove this by taking a piece of sandpaper and gently sanding this edge. Clean the pyramid with a soft, wet cloth and dry it. Stick an orgonite sticker on the pyramid if desired. Give it a nice spot!

I hope I inspired you :) Good luck and have fun with your creation! Love Jessica.

Do you want to make this too?
- Epoxy 1:1 casting resin . This is resin for large surfaces. You can also use the ready-made resin, but that is very expensive for large surfaces.
- Silicone Mold Pyramid / Orgonite from itsOkay
- Epoxy color pigments
