Hi everyone Lyn here from LynzCraftz, It's no secret that I love Summer, the Ocean, the Beach, the sound of the waves & the salty sea air so before Summer ends I thought I would get in one last Summer project. I've named it "Whale Song" for obvious reasons...
I first started with a polymer clay whale that I sculpted from
Super Sculpey(baked according to package directions) I left it flat on the back so I could glue it down to my mold form & then I used
Amazing Mold Rubber to create the mold. It's a 1-2-1 ratio so it's easy to mix & use. After the
Amazing Mold Rubber cured & I removed the original it was time to pour some clear blue resin whales using
Amazing Clear Cast &
Alumilite Dye I mixed up & let them cure. Aren't they cute?
Then using a wooden canvas I had purchased, I painted it with some acrylic paints. Just a basic underwater type background which will get mostly cover up.
Here comes the fun part...I mixed up some
Amazing Clear Cast & then divided it into 5 small cups, adding
Alumilite Dust to each cup in similar colors to the background in 4 of them in the 5th one I added a bit of
Alumilite Dye in White. Carefully pouring each of the 4 colors in their corresponding color area(kinda like a paint by number...lol) & using the stir stick to help move the colors around. I then layed the cure whales into the cure resin on the background & left it to cure for 3-4 hours before continuing.
The final step was to mix just a touch(the tip of my pallet knife) of the
Alumilite Metalic Powder in Pearl to another batch of
Amazing Clear Cast Resin & pour over the entire piece whales & all.
After letting it cure overnight the results are well...Amazing! You can see the sparkle from the tiny bit of Pearl that I added to the final layer of resin...so pretty! A little bit of work but well worth it in the end.
What end of Summer projects do you have planned?
As always you can find my work on my blog
