Résine époxy
Réalisée avec les surplus de résine lors du coulage de chacun des deux compères précédemment postés....
Diam = 7.5 cm h = 7 cm
Les petits points que l'on voie, sont des minuscules paillettes
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
Métal et résine époxy, crochets de boucles en argent 925 ème.
Le résultat peut parfois être surprenant car la résine et les pigments travaillent encore en durcissant et arrivent à déplacer les inclusions....
Abstract
This shot was made through a layer of hardened epoxy resin in a PET bottle. This bottle is used to mix the resin and hardener, but I always prepare too much 😄
Nice detail: this resin was colored black with black ink. But when illuminating it with a flashlight, it's pink!
Crazy Tuesday
Theme: Abstract
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.
Juan Carlos Distefano comments on the present condition and his view of the future of Argentina. Starting from modeling clay, switching to lime and gypsum, then finishing with reinforced polyester and epoxy enamel or cast polyester, gives a unique transparency in the works. This effect emphasizes the expressiveness of the figures. The fusion of the sculpted body and the enveloping matter creates figures immobilized, unable to react and metaphorically trapped in their own bodies. Blank looks inhabit bodies without identity, scratched, injured, dismembered, anonymous messengers of violence, horror, degradation, cruelty, contempt, oppression. They are men who have suffered massacres, race riots, murders, genocides. Symbol of the physical and moral violence that has gripped Argentina during the dictatorship between 1976 and 1983, act as a spokesman for the inequality that still dominates the town. This is the history of Argentina, the story that he presents so emphatically so that something can change in the future. The exhibition appropriately titled "The rebellion of the form" fits well into the context of "All the World's Futures".
Oops. This is out of order.
The left image is the kayak when it was assembled but before the hatches were cut. It is standing on its nose in our stairwell so I could pour some epoxy resin to fill the bow tip for extra strength. It was good that we had this indoor space to do this because it was quite cold outside. The right image shows the completed kayak with three coats of varnish rolled on, the comfortable seat installed, the hatch covers are on with pressure straps to hold the seal, elastic rigging is on and an elastic cord is near the bow that is part of the paddle holder.

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.
A cold connection workshop with Robert Dancik reinforced my love of riveting, but what *really* inspired me was the idea of using epoxy resin as a design element rather than just an adhesive. These beads incorporate vintage watch parts and hardware with amethyst-tinted epoxy. Double bang for the buck...I love it!
MH Jinnafire, head size reduced with an acetone shrink...and unfortunately ripped badly in the process, but epoxy putty used to cover it as well as sculpt the hair/helmet. Mismatched lower arm used as inspiration for paint details on body, then everything got a wash to darken and bring out details. She's an old robot =)
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.
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.
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.
