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.
