| Various resined items |
Summer holidays are finally over and life slowly getting back to normal. Not had much opportunity to get on with any art work, as such.
However, I have become a tad obsessed with resin. I first saw a lady demonstrating its uses at Brighton Stitch and Hobbycraft show earlier in the year. Since then I have been hooked.
Everywhere I look, I'm thinking "I could embed that!"

| It does get a bit messy though |
It takes 24 hours (ish) to cure and I am not a very patient person! So if you are doing multiple layers, it can take days to finish off a project.

But that aside, Ive also discovered how great it is when you use it to cover a canvas of work! It looks amazing.

| Look at that gorgeous glass-like finish! |
The only drawbacks really, are the time it takes, that the fumes could eventually kill you and it costs a fortune. But hey, I'm too addicted to care!

Beautiful pieces Marie! I love resin too - use it on my domino pieces, but have been a chicken to use it on a canvas. Maybe now I will brave it and maybe test it on a small one :D
ReplyDeleteThank you very much.
ReplyDeleteI'm really enjoying its versatility, definitely give it a go on one of your canvases, there are loads of tutorials on You Tube. I love the finished result!
If you do get around to doing it, please post a picture of the finished piece!
Marie :)
