Paw prints!

A couple of weeks back, I bought myself a silicone mold with paw prints. I decided to try making a pair of resin pieces with the mold as I wanted to try layers, and see how I can add more dimensions to the work I’m creating. The results? — two very pretty paw prints! The surfaces are quite matte, however.

I’m going to leave it instead of doming it, because I feel that the effect would otherwise be taken away. They are not quite finished yet, however. I still have to sand the bottom, and dome it, before making them into pendants.

These will be the first items to go on sale in my shop very soon.

Cheers!~

Resin pieces and etsy store

These came out, perfect and better than what I had imagine.

I’m mad please with them and I think they are a great improvement from my first ones. However, I made the mistake of making these too thick. I think it’s the glitter and confetti spam. I should ease that up a bit. Generally, all the pieces are perfect; I just need to dome the front and back, and I’ll be done.

In other news, I will be opening my etsy store soon (url coming up in the coming posts since I haven’t listed anything yet). I’m looking to officially launch the store by mid-August 2015, but I’ll probably start selling my pieces earlier (kind of like a soft launch). There are still loads to do: description writing for each listing, the individual photography of each piece plus picture editing.

And then there’s the shoot.

My friend Deborah has very kindly agreed to help me model the accessories (the girl has already reserved and bought several pieces; I also gift her some in exchange for her time since I can’t afford to pay her). We are currently working on some ideas, and I’ll put up the sketches soon!

I’m really excited how this will turn out, and I can’t wait! In the meantime, I’ll be taking some closeups of the resin pieces. Until then!
