When last we left the great RESIN-ING of 2011 I had admitted to making a full on crap-ton of resin pieces. And what does one DO with those resin bits? Why, she sits in her special chair in her TV den and hand drills holes into way too many of them and attaches bails she hella bought at Walmart, that's what one does with this shizzle:
I have a slight problem, I am willing to concede that point slightly.
I figured some of these pieces would look good wrapped in filigree… And they do….
Wrapping them in filigree seems to work better when the shapes are circular rather than oval, but that's okay, I was just experimenting.
I stopped by TAP Plastics on the way home from work on Monday and picked up a new mold that I tried out – more on those pieces later when ADVENTURES WITH RESIN returns after these messages (or rather, the Bead Soup Blog Party! Tune in tomorrow for results!)
"Wrapping them in filigree seems to work better when the shapes are circular rather than oval."
I confess that my first thought was "I think she means when the shapes are 'regular'." But then it occured to me that it probably wouldn't work well on triangles, either. Or pentagons. So then I amended it to "regular polygons with an even number of sides" in my head.
…
So anyway, yeah, they look pretty cool!
Beautiful! It's always fun to see what other people are doing with their resin. Love your colors and sparkle.
My hat is off to you for hand drilling all those holes. Very nice!
