Poudre de pigments caméléons dans le fond et inclusions dans résine transparente

Le rendu n'est pas super car dû aux paillettes des pigments ainsi qu'à la brillance de la résine

ovale = 17.5x9.5 cm

Rond = diam 10 cm

This was made using four processes to make it come together. I have managed to finally mix paper, wood, epoxy and photography in my art. Next I will add rocks and metal.

this is a present I made for my husband. these 2 birds are us. the interesting thing about them is that each of these birds can not stant on its own- if you put them alone on their feet they fall. but if they stand together hugging, one shading and comforting the other they stand firmly. they are a lot like me&mehusband: I'm small and round and he's tall and leggy. these are miniaturs (the long one is 5 cm long). they are made of epoxy-plasticine and wire.

Transparent Origami. Diamond corrugation, by me, cast in epoxy.

Finished placement ready for epoxy resin coat

This workbench was made from 4 Sears workbenches. They are mounted on top of three 2x4's stacked to raise the working level. I guess Sears figures that their typical customer is a runt. I waited for a sale and got them for $100 each. The top is 15 feet long x 32 inches deep. It is made from 2 layers of 3/4 inch particle board and covered with gray Formica. It matches the countertop for the utility sink. The cabinets above the bench are from Home Depot.

Colorful and with a 70’s vive.

Having had no problems for the last 6 weeks I suddenly develop a severe allergy to epoxy resin. Still got two boats that are only half finished! Gotta come up with a plan. Keep you posted.

She needs some white on the edge but I'm loving the color scheme.

Miliput is a lovely two part epoxy putty that cures rock hard without heat. I buy my colored ones at Ancestral Dawn on Ebay and my green grey at the local hobby shop. Miliput is very heavy so there's no point shipping what you can get locally but it's cheaper to order the colored stuff from the UK than have the shop order for me. Weird how that works out.

Though Miliput comes in multiple colors, there are only 3 hardener colors and they seem to be interchangable with the different bases.

A. Yellow Grey ( yellow + grey hardener)

Old faithful. This is the cheapest one and the easiest to find. Fine for anything being fully painted.

B. Terracotta ( terracotta + grey hardener)

C. Black (black + grey hardener)

D. White Superfine (white + white hardener)

F. Silver (silver + white hardener)

Very pale grey.

G. Black + white hardener

H. Terracotta + white hardener.

I. I...did not mark this one. Oops. If I remember, I will edit this.

J. Yellow + white hardener

K. (Unmarked) A test to see if two fully mixed colors could also combine. Looks fine to me. (Terracotta + grey hardener) + (white + white hardener) in equal parts.

There is no real point testing blends with grey instead if white because there isn't a huge difference.

first stage done.... next will be sanding once it's solid enough ^^;

Use opportunity of remaking placemat 2 to adjust the design.

Problems with resin on placemat two. Try to peal it off (works on smaller pieces of polymer) but fail.

Transparent Origami. Based on Stars in White Night tessellation, by me. Made from epoxy.

After sanding the shoulder pieces and applying the neck piece. I just kind of flattened the epoxy and cut approximate pieces until I'd filled the area I needed, and then spent an hour refining it.

I think I know why this is called smooth epoxy because it's SUPER SHINY when cured.

Wooden box covered with epoxy clay and painted with metallic pewter paint. I love these glass cabs, they look like they are glowing!

Needed to coat coasters and to re-make 2nd placemat

Porch area with epoxy resin aggregate now covering the old tiled porch.
