Experiments with Resin

The latest adventure in resin crafting is spoons, and a ring! I finally got a ring mold (size 11). I've tried making ring molds with disastrous results. Although it makes me admire the skill that goes into making good molds.

The bent spoon is filled with dried, crumbled flower petals and tiny, dried flower buds. I'm not sure I like them. 

The ring mold is lovely, but the back of the band is very thin, which makes the rings easy to break. I think I'll try a combo polymer clay/resin one. 

I've also been working on a layered resin series of cartoony animals using acrylic craft paint & glow in the dark pigment powders. I have a rainbow giraffe, a lion, a monkey, an elephant, & some greenery.  I really hope these turn out.
