Having had some fun with the earlier experiments with resin casting, I (Amy) bought some more moulds, and set to having a bit more of a play, this time accompanied by The Childs.
The Childs wanted to make some keyrings as pressies for people at school before the summer holidays, so that was the main thing we were aiming for. The plain, clear stuff we made last time looked quite nice, as did the ones where we inserted dried/pressed flowers into the resin.
This time, we thought we'd add some glitter too.
Turns out the re-usable syringes that come with Calpol make excellent tools for doing this sort of work.
Elder Child thought she'd try doing some mini Origami, so did a prototype. If anything the origami birds needs to be a bit smaller so it doesn't risk projecting out of the mould whilst it is setting.
We also mixed in some beads.
More ferns.
A two-part keyring.
Playing with some odd-shaped moulds, not sure what we'll be doing with these yet, but they might look good being stuck down on greeting cards and so on.
Middle Child wanted to make some trinket-boxes for her friends.
Overall really happy with how all these came out- need to try mixing some other bits and pieces in the third batch.
