My necklace features two birds that I made with leftover resin.
Most of the time, when I made a batch of resin, I have a very good idea how much I will need. Occasionally I do make a little extra and on my table I have molds and other containers I can pour this "left over" resin in to. This little bird mold is one that I use a lot.
My cured resin birds always looks so pretty when they are clear and transparent, but they are hard to see. I decided to glue my birds to some Japanese paper.
Here are three birds after I cut away the excess paper. Now they look wonderful! I drilled two tiny holes into the winds and attached them to a metal tree branch.
This really is "birds on a wire."
They are now the focal point of a new necklace.
Oh, how beautiful! I need that mold too :)
ReplyDeleteLove this, Will be looking for Molds in a hole new way now.
ReplyDeleteOh my! I love these birds. You could sell them to me. ;-) Love the chain and the branch too. Often it is the leftovers from a project like the resin that I like better than what I did with it! Enjoy the day! Erin
ReplyDeleteI have that same mold and LOVE it!
ReplyDeleteI've just started with the whole resin thing,and it really is rewarding.
And your blog has been a good source of information!
Thank you.
Do you know where I can find the mold of birds? I would greatly appreciate a respond from you. My email is iluvmysti@yahoo.com. Thank you.
Deletewow, I love how you made the necklace with the birds. what kind of "Japanese paper" are you using? is it just the pattern or is it a special kind of paper? whatever it is it looks good! i also like the way you left the birds a matte finish instead of glossing them up.
ReplyDeleteWow. So wonderful!
ReplyDeleteWow. I love these. Who makes that bird mold? Since the paper is on the back, do you coat it with anything to protect it?
