Shop Talk & Steamer Trunks

 Just a quick Hello this morning from N. Texas! I don't normally take selfies...lol...but hey it's a lovely day & the sun is shining! Seriously though my reason for stopping by today is just to promote my shop a bit & to just chat & share a bit of what I've been up-to lately.

First if you click on the pic. below it will take you to my etsy shop, I've been tweaking around with it a bit lately.
I've listed my recent jewelry pieces & I'm thinking about adding some of my cloth dolls & some of my mixed media work? Still thinking about that.

I've also been altering my Grandfathers paint box, just a plywood box he had made to store his mixed paints in...he was a woodcarver & such a creative soul...I miss him daily.
Here's what it looked like inside(sorry I always forget to take a before pic...lol)...

 I added some details with some fun foam...the straps, corners & the handle strapping are all fun foam. The handles are made of resin & I created them from a mold of an actually trunk handles my Hubby found while hunting Arrowheads a few weeks ago.
The I did the faux finish with DecoArt products & Andy Skinner's rust techniques. Super Fun!

Just a plain plywood box & now it has so much personality...It's magic!
Find something to alter & then go for it, it really is wonderful to give new life to something sitting in the corner or forgotten. Sound like a good excuse to go garage sale hunting to me...lol.
Thanks so much for joining me today...Till Next Time!

Sparkly Carousel Resin Ponies

Hello again, Lyn Gill here & I was inspired this week by some paper ponies I saw...I just knew I could make them in resin!

In this project I used the Amazing Remelt & I think i really put it through it's paces...I molded it in a foam board box(paper line foam board) & I made the horse pattern from a recycled box glued to fun foam, of course I used plenty of mold release. When I poured the Amazing Remelt in & let it set up I was surprised at how easy it actually was to remove. I used some Amazing Clear Cast resin with various Alumilite Dyes & Alumidust & a touch of glittered embossing powder to make these adorable ponies!

These would make such a cute piece of wall art or hanging from the bottom of some windchimes. Or maybe on a princesses door! Their so fun & so easy to create!

                 What type of paper craft could you reproduce in resin? Think of the possibilities!

Well thank you so much for joining is today here at Amazing Casting Products!...Till Next Time!

As always you can find my work here on my Blog LynzCraftz where I also have a pattern for this project,   or on YouTube at LynzCraftz or on my Facebook page at LynzCraftz

Mixed Media Vintage Carnival Strength Test Machine Lamp

Can you hear the sounds of the music & games of the boardwalk? Can you smell the corndogs, the waffle cones & cotton candy? Can you remember the fun you had going to the local carnival? Well that was my inspiration for my next mixed media lamp...

   I used DecoArt products for this one...some Weathered Wood Crackle Medium & some Crackle Texture Paste gave the Mega Crackles I was looking for & the bright colors of Americana Paints, an Andy Skinner stencil & some DecoArt Media Antiquing Cream gave it the wonderful aged look I was going for. I did an image transfer onto foam board of the clown face from Graphics Fairy using Decou-page Photo Transfer Medium & an Ink Jet printer image.

Just a couple of scraps of wood, a few wooden stars, a sheet of foam board, DecoArt products & some color changing LED candles & you've got it! Sorry I didn't get a tutorial on video...I messed it up...lol.
Oh well, thanks so much for stopping by...Till Next Time!

Creating on the Curve an Altered Wine Bottle

Hi everyone Lyn here from LynzCraftz & I've got a super fun project to share with you today, Trash to treasure style! An altered wine bottle turned into a beautiful underwater Mermaid Treasure.
I started with the Amazing Casting Resin components for this project & formed some of them around the bottle after they had set up but while they were still curing. You can check out a simple tutorial on this here Pouring Amazing Casting Resin Tips while not my original idea it's a brilliant tip.

Then using some alcohol inks, polymer clay & sand texture paste I created the background, added the curved frame & gave it all some paint...acrylic of course. The frame has a lovely vintage mermaid image that I used some patina on. The I draped some chain, glass beads & some more Amazing Casting Resin charms from.

I love anything underwater/ocean themed so this was a natural for me & so much fun! I want to thank you all for joining me here today on Amazing Casting Products! You can check out my other works on my blog LynzCraftz, my YT channel LynzCraftz or on my Facebook page LynzCraftz.

Ever wanted to curve your resin? Try it, it's easy!

Vintage Faux Leather Book Box

Hi everyone Lyn here again with another bit of Inspiration...a Book Box! I created this book box out of recycled card board with faux leather texture created from a brown paper sack & some resin details.
I have a video on my YouTube channel if your interested in how I created this piece.

I created the molds using some Amazing Mold Putty & Amazing Mold Rubber then I molded the frame & book corners using Amazing Casting Resin. These are the perfect blanks to work some creative magic on. A little paint, patina & they're ready to use on what ever project you've got in mind.

A vintage printed image under a little tinted Amazing Clear Cast Resin completes the look! Wow so fun!
    What will you use your Amazing Casting Resin blanks to create? Make it Amazing!

Thanks so much for joining me today with Amazing Casting Products...Till Next Time!

Assemblage Lamp recycled altered art tutorial

                                                                                                                                                                           
I had so much fun creating this piece! I used DecoArt products & some recycled upcycled goodies that would have ended up in the trash so I felt good about that. I used a salsa jar, a burned out lightbulb & a metal base from something my husband de-constructed in his scrapping (metal scrapping...lol) time.
All this fun in one project!
I started with the jar...I used some brown paper from a grocery bag & stamped onto it using some Memento ink then I distressed it with some Lindy's Stamp Gang sprays. Then I used some DecoPage to adhere the paper to the jar. I stippled some DecoArt Media Black Gesso to the lid of the jar & the base & then rubbed it with DecoArt Metallic Luster in several colors. I then made a "socket" from polymer clay for my bulb to set in(this has a battery operated light in it) & I also poured some resin wings. For the final touch I added the paper butterflies which I also made from some printed images.

Feel free to follow along with the tutorial. Here it is all lite-up! I love the way it turned out!
Thank you so much for joining me today & stay tuned because I have loads more to share over the upcoming weeks...Till Next Time!

With a Bit of Luck! Amazing Casting Products DT Project for March

 Hi everyone, Lyn here again with a fun & easy project just in time for St. Patrick's Day. A perfect table decoration or you can hang it on the wall. Just a garage sale frame, a few bit of table scatter & a couple of Amazing Casting Resin embellishments & your ready to go!

First I made a mold of a plastic coin with Amazing Mold Putty & then filled it with Amazing Casting Resin with a bit of Alumilite Dye in black.

I then started with some left over tissue paper(from Christmas...lol), I sprinkled a bit of alcohol for the dots. Then I stamped & embossed it with some gold embossing powder.

Now for the good part...First off I did this on aluminum foil not only to protect my table but also to give the piece another layer of Sparkle...I love Sparkle! Then to the tissue paper I drizzled some Amazing Clear Cast, added some of the Table Scatter, Glitter & then topped it with the picture frame glass & let it cure.

What a great way to display your favorite piece of St. Patty's Day jewelry!

What type of Party Decorations can you create with Amazing Casting Products? Give it a Try!
