• Don’t Be Alarmed!!

    Acrylic mold tests

    I don’t be alarmed, but MY CRAFT room is clean and organized. I EVEN sorted my vinyls!! WHAT?!!?  Yup, yup. I also realized I have more vinyl than Michael’s Craft Store does. Oh-Oh! I guess I’ll have to make more t-shirts! Please LORD do not let Alice grow out of funny, cute, glittery t-shirts anytime soon!! PLEASE! I’ve also added Resin pouring to my list of things I always wanted to try and never did. Here is what I have learned. Ummmm bubbles are NOT easy to get rid of!! Stir too fast. BUBBLES. Pour too fast. BUBBLES. LOOK at the resin as it dries. BUBBLES. So I will be You-Tubing Resin pouring this weekend. My first try I made book marks and they came out sorta okay. Since my sister and I were raised on a HUGE rabbit farm (neither of us are fond of the little critters) I thought this would be funny. Then I did skulls. These are supposed to be crystal clear.

I have a ton of blank canvases; let’s do this thing!! First, it’s not as easy as they look! I mean it is and it isn’t.  The ratio is VERY important. The colors? Equally as important. My first three canvases looked like crap. (SURE! Start with a big canvas when you have no idea what you’re doing!)  So, I let them dry for a week and did a pour over the tops. HA!
