Chaotic Daydreams

Ooooooh the marbling came out nicely! Kiddo says it looks like Christmas candy and he wants to eat them. 😂

Saw a video where someone did marbling by doing drops of alcohol ink into the white right before pouring. It looked super cool... so now I have a bunch of Christmas colored stuff curing. I also added, in between the white and inks, some gold and silver glitter in clear resin. We'll see how it goes!

Craft fair coming up on November 14th, so I've been working hard on some Christmas stuff. I'm especially pleased with the old-fashioned scenes in the heart bezels. They're going to make such adorable ornaments! 💖
Also, the angel has some pearlescent "soap bubbles" beads inside, which is where the random colors come from when she's lit up.

Bragging rights for the first someone who can find the mistake in these pictures. 😂

It's been cold and I need to get a heater in my shed, so work is slow waiting for curing. But I've at least got SOME holiday stuff done for the fair in a couple of weeks. 🎉

As for the mistake... I'll just call it a stylistic choice cuz it reminds me of a tree. 🤪😁

Real life has kept me hopping, so it's been slow in the workshop. But I'm finally starting work on Christmas items for my fair next month. I'm super proud of how the tree came out. The deep coaster molds are PERFECT for a base when I used the silicone spacer for the battery box. 🥳🎉❣️

Now the rain has to pass so I can do the next stage of my Christmas coaster set and other projects I have planned. Whee! 🙃

Woo hoo! The light at the end of the tunnel for this months-long project is shining bright!

The bottom needs to finish curing until late afternoon. Then I can sand and polish the joins around the base. Other than that, it's done!

Didn't turn out too bad for an experiment I built from the ground up. Hehe. I do have several tweaks I'm going to make to the mold and the process, but I'm happy it got built at all with how many times I almost gave up.

What do you guys think?

After all the curve balls life has been throwing at me lately, I'm so relieved at how close I am to finishing the chess board base.

This first one will have flaws (but still be useful and pretty); however, I learned TONS for next time. Like pouring less resin for the inner pieces.

Going to try to finish it this afternoon or this weekend if possible. Wish me luck!

I miss creating! I've been dealing with various things over the last couple of weeks... not the least of which is a fractured root in a tooth causing an infection and is going to get yanked on Wednesday. And now we're in the middle of our usual October heat wave. Has not been very conducive toward making stuff.

However, I DO have an idea. I ordered a set of table legs for a small side table so I can use my 24x12" mold. I'm just torn on what to do for the artwork in it. Choices I'm currently thinking are:

1) Some sort of string art piece,
2) an 8-bit design using little squares of resin,
3) a fairy garden scene as seen from the side instead of the top, or
4) making a mosaic out of the many, MANY shells I have.

Any suggestions? :)

I am sad. I was so excited for my project entry, and it was going so well. But when I went to remove the silicone spacer, I realized the wires for the lights were slightly trapped in the upper layer of resin.

I was so careful trying to get it out, but the wires are super fragile and snapped. No more lights. 😭

And I'd even used all 3 elements, too! Now I need to come up with something different before the end of the month. Le sigh.
