My latest thrive for Resin Art inspired by seeing some you tube shorts... I love to work with colours and paint ... All of a sudden wanted to give try .... It is an expensive art so just to know if it works, ordered a basic art kit from Amazon which had below list of items
1. Resin - epoxy 2.Resin hardener 3. Use & throw gloves 4. Paper cups with icecream sticks 5. Keychains 6. Alphabet mould 7. Coaster mould 8. Mica powder(gold,silver,pink)9.glitters
I got ready with things given.
I mixed Resin and hardener 3:1 ratio. Added mica powder to get a desired colour and porer it on alphabet mould and it took nearly 12 hrs to get ready. Then put key chains given as this mould has cavity got the hole for inserting key chains given.
Later tried doing coaster mould i actually used partially dried aparajita flower from our garden I placed flowers front side down on mould i used mica powder I got matte finish at the back of my coaster so couldn't see it inside my coaster.
Below are the outputs of the key chain resin art and coaster art
Felt excited by seeing result. Happy that I was able to get the desired output in the first go.
Things that I learnt from this art:-
* Need to mix resin and hardener with correct proportion I used 3:1
* If proportion is not correct our casting would break two alphabets broke but still could reuse it next time.
* Adding glitters less will give you nice look.
* I used mica powder to give colour for my resin mix so got matte finish in the backside of alphabet and in front got a glossy look. Planning to do my next trial with colour pigment.
* Baby wipes are helpful to clean our hands if we accidentally touch resin with our hands.
* Tough to work with plastic gloves must find some alternative to that..
Above points I have shared based on my trial and error. Planning to explore more on resin art in upcoming days .........,:) 😄.
