I have always put a small amount of pigment in my resin as well as painting the mould… with those metallic powders, I sometimes use the same powder, and sometimes use black pigment in the resin. ♥️♥️🇦🇺
Your mould turned out great Trish… I love making my own moulds! It is quite addictive… I’m always looking in 2nd hand shops for things that I can cast!! 😂 And yes, silicone isn’t cheap! OMG… that sand dollar with the chameleon flakes… words fail me!! It is really stunning! Beautiful! I love it (if you hadn’t guessed)!! I’d like to see you try and create a sand dollar, that looks like a sand dollar?? Just an idea!? Love from Nat. ♥️♥️🇦🇺
Hi Trish, congratulations on making your first mold, it looks good. I've made a few inlays, no molds yet. I've been low key lately, I fell down the last 3 steps of the basement stairs, my leg got wedged with my knee bent, I thought I broke it but I didn't, got some major bruising on my butt and back, no fun having arthritis. Your sand dollars turned out nice, the gold one is my favorite...Take care...cheers !!!
Ouch! That's not good. I'm just about to start a holographic one now fingers crossed 🤞 it turns out great. Might add a bear as well. Wishing you a speedy recovery take care 😊
Great way to add shine with a matte mold
The mold is amazing. The casting is great. Usually it isn't necessary to put mica in the resin if you paint the mold.
Yeah that's what I thought but there was a pamphlet that came with it that said to do that but yeah it should work without. I'll give it a go 😊

I forget to check the size of the moulds too, so you’re not the only one!😀

That's a great idea 💡 I'll get my thinking cap on and try and come up with something
