How a glow ornament is made
- 1
Design
I draw the frame and its lead lines on the computer. On the Halloween frames the smallest window is 3.5 mm across, so a squeeze-bottle tip fits.
- 2
Print
The frame prints in silk filament on my 3D printer.
- 3
Pour
For "Filled by me", each window gets its own tinted or glow epoxy, poured by hand.
- 4
Cure and ship
24 to 48 hours to harden. Then it ships carefully packed.
Hand-poured resin can hold a tiny bubble or two. It's resin, not glass.
New pieces go up on Etsy first.

Sound you can see.
Coils wound by hand, then cast in resin as wall and shelf art. And one Tesla coil that plays songs.
Star coil art
12-point star coils, wound by hand and cast in resin.
Tesla-coil music
I built the app that turns songs into the pulses a Tesla coil can play.
Cymatic lamps
Lamp shades shaped by the vibration patterns of musical intervals, like a fifth or an octave.
Coil pieces are decorative art only, not medical or electrical devices.
The first Resonist pieces are on the way.

How to fill your template.
Your template comes empty. Here's how I fill mine with resin.
What you need
2-part epoxy, a panel (acrylic, wood or canvas board), pigment paste or mica, glow powder if you want glow, small mixing cups, a syringe or stir stick, and a heat gun. Wear gloves and keep air moving. Resin, panel and colors don't come with the template.
- 1
Glue it down
Brush a thin coat of epoxy on your panel. Press the template flat, weight it, and let it set.
- 2
Mix
Mix your epoxy exactly as its maker says, then split it into small cups, one cup per color you plan to use.
- 3
Tint
A toothpick tip of pigment paste per 15 ml gives see-through color. For glow, stir in about 1 part glow powder to 4 parts resin.
- 4
Fill
Fill each cell level with the top of the lines, so the colors never touch. Thin layers: epoxy warms up as it hardens, and the frame softens near 140 °F.
- 5
Bubbles
Pass a heat gun over the surface quickly and keep it moving.
- 6
Wait
Give it 24 to 48 hours to harden, then charge the glow under a lamp and turn off the lights.
Filling an ornament frame
The windows are open front to back. Press the frame onto clear packing tape, sticky side up on a flat board, and rub along every line with a fingernail so resin can't creep under. Fill each window level with the flat part of the frame. A small window takes only a few drops. Once it's hard, peel off the tape.
The resin bonds to the template, so each one is a one-time pour. Your card has a color map on it. Use it or don't.
About the maker
From my workshop.
I pour resin and wind copper coils.
The 3D printer in my workshop often runs all night long. On the bench: resin cups, pigment, mica, glow powder and copper wire waiting to become coils. I do a lot of my best work late at night. That's also when the glow pieces look best.
I've sold on Etsy for six years: crystal skulls, and real four-leaf clovers sealed in resin. These days I design my own stained-glass frames and 3D-print them. Then I fill every window by hand with tinted or glow-in-the-dark epoxy. No two pieces come out alike.
The MADD Resonist, with an O, is the coil side. I wind coils by hand and cast 12-point star coils in resin as wall and shelf art. I also built an app that plays music through a Tesla coil.
Family first. Every piece I sell helps my family and pays for the next build.
