Today was the day for starting my fourth season panel, autumn, and it had to be a pumpkin! I spent the afternoon cutting / grinding the pieces for the pumpkin, stem and leaves. I may even include some floral wire tendrils, but the more I think about it, the less likely I will include them. They’re too likely to be squashed and lose their shape over time.
I still have to pour the resin on Spring, Winter and Autumn, but I am going to wait until the glue dries on the pumpkin panel to do that. I also want to put some masking tape on the backs of these panels before I pour the resin, as it is a big help in keeping the back side of the glass panel clean.
The resin I poured on the Fireworks panel the other day has cured and it turned out better than I expected. In person, it has a lot of sparkle and it looks pretty cute in the display stand!
