A couple of weeks ago I came across a small British shop, The Craft Hut. They sell some amazing moulds for resin casting. These moulds are deep and detailed I think using a clay would be difficult with them as getting them out could be tricky.
Had to wait for a couple of days for them to be delivered, as soon as they got here I missed up some resin and poured. Well before pouring the resin I "painted" Magic Mica all over the inside applying different colours to each area then crossed my fingers. Needless to say when it came out of the mould I was thrilled.
Then it just needed something to be displayed on. One of the Tando kits I've been supplied with by Tando is their Assorted Plaques one of which I have shared with you previously. Another one this time was just the right size to show off my phoenix.
Painted the greyboard with black gesso. Then pushed structure paste through a stencil onto the plaque where the resin piece would not cover. When the paste had set the stencil was put back on colour applied with the same magic mica that was used in the mould. The edge of the plaque and around the hanger. Everything glued together with silicon. For a final touch some copper gliding wax was touched dover the top of the phoenix.

ReplyDeleteWOW the phoenix looks amazing and a fabulous result from the micas and resin Zoe x.
ReplyDeleteIsn't it nice when you fine a new store, I've a feeling I've seen this one at shows (you know in normal times), loving the depth of colour you have used which further emphasises the detail of the piece.
