Resin Adventures

With many mixed media artists dipping there toes into resin (not literally) I have to admit I was curious about the appeal. I used a 40% off coupon at Micheal's last week to purchased a box of Easy Cast 2 part resin, then I coaxed Carla over to play.

The night before I turned an old aspirin container into a bezel. The process started with a sewing pattern and some matte medium to glue and seal the paper. After it was dry I added the photo polymer piece, button, fountain pen tip, etc.. mix the resin... pour ...
I can't even begin to tell you how easy it was and how nice the result is.

Here is another partially filled bezel that I will complete next time I mix more resin.
Backside of both...
We also coated paper to make them transparent. Carla suggested suspending them while they cured, a few hours later I finally got around to hanging them from a dowel rod underneath my shelf. Got to love the IKEA clips...very handy indeed.
Here is resin on top of some textured polymer pieces.
So now I can say I get the appeal...the doming, the glass like look, the versatility..very cool.

Angie, you did a great job! I am working with resin right now and trying to get the hang of it. My first batch was not so good. I didn't have enough of the hardner in it so it was all sticky. Now I know better and to measure carefully :)

Great job!

Thanks for stopping by "lice-ville". LOL

I happy to report, no lice!!! But, I did come down with a sore throat and a head cold...I don't think that was from the hats though...???

I really love the resin pieces. I've seen them in bottle caps before, but never in old aspirin tins. I just love the old stuff!!

Picked up a HUGE dictionary the other day that I have plans for, but gotta get to feelin' better first.

Tootles!
