Snow and Flowers

Today I glued in place the three panels I worked on laying out yesterday. Now to wait for the glue to dry so I can pour the resin. I have one more empty panel I want to add to this group – need to come up with some ideas to round out the set! The spring flowers remind me of Grape Hyacinth more than Delphinium.

Autumn, Spring, Winter

Here is the reveal on the Pumpkin, Seahorse and Wreath panels for this set. I also made some progress on a few new “season-themed” panels for this set, so stay tuned!

Seahorse with sand, shells, mica accents — Seahorse / Spring or Summer

Seasons poured

I poured the resin on the other three seasons panels today – will be fun to take off the masking tape in the next day or two and see how they turn out! My son says the Seahorse isn’t “spring-y” enough and that I should make a panel with a flower, so stay tuned for a sunflower panel for this project next!

Up to Four Seasons

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!

More Seasons

I got to the point where I needed to pour some resin today. However it’s been quite a while since I’ve used this resin and I wanted to make sure it hasn’t gone bad, so I decided to test it out on a couple of beach themed ornaments I’ve had sitting around partially completed for awhile. I mixed 100ml of resin and poured it and it looked ok, so I went ahead and covered the fireworks panel for the “Seasons” project since I’m not that happy with this particular panel anyhow. I won’t cry if the resin doesn’t cure properly for this piece.

I also prepped the wreath and seahorse panels so they are ready to pour if the resin passes today’s test. If not, I will need to order some more resin!

Seasons Changing

A little bit at a time 🙂
