Resin: Attempt #1












Today, I checked on the resin moulds that I made. Usually they would probably need more time to set, but because I left them to dry in the heat they were ready to take out today. They were a lot harder to get out of the moulds than anticipated. Once out I hung them up from chain so that they could complete the drying process, they were unable to solidify around the edges because of the structure of the moulds so by taking them out and leaving them for a bit more, the resin should turn more transparent. I’m quite pleased the outcomes, but I need to think more about the next stages of this process. My concept of the ordinary being beautiful needs to be taken a bit further, I think I’m going to experiment a bit more with some photography – this is however, a very successful outcome for preserving the objects.
