ocean theme paper weight

An artist should be creative- whats there in poring it in just moulds and making pieces, - even those who know that any art work is an art, comment it quite eaily. When I made the mermaid tail or fish tail however you call it, I didnot want to make it a pendant or keychain, I wanted to use it in something else.

So decided to create a table decor which will also double as a paper weight.

I carefully chose my layers, added a thin layer of sand mixed with resin, it was spread a bit uneven. Then afded a layer of stones and flat shells and poured blue alchohol ink. Added a drop of denim colour too to it. Let it settle and when it got dry added a few conch shells and clear resin. Just on it added a few drops of white ink and blew it using hot gun. This def gave sn effect and I realized it only after demolding the piece. Let this layer settle a bit

Once it was dry added some white stones and plunged the mermaid tail in. It was a bit hard to keep it inside the tesin but made sure it stood in. 

Once dry and demolded wow was the only word I could say. Ofcourse inspite of heating few airbubbles had formed. But see is full of bubbles.

One of the few things that never stopped me from watching again and is the sea.

Crochet lunch bag - blue

T shirt yarns, are great to use. When I got these uarns from Pony Craft Store, Conoor I was fascinated by their texture. For long I could not really understand what I could really do with these type of yarns. Then google gave me ideas and I made a oval bottom lunch bag for my daughter. Used 6mm hook as I was thinking the lowest number mentioned in the yarn ball will suit it well.

Got numb fingers and shoulder pain, but the fascination of seeing the end result gave me enthu to finish it fast.

Trinket box - Resin

The kit that I hv had some glittery powder and a soft brush. I was quite intrigued by these two. Wanted to try something and the mould which I saw first was a trinket bowl mould and it had a lid too. 

These bowl or box moulds are quite interesting they are double walled and you get the freedom to add inbetween the two walls or paint on the outer walls. This bowl mould seemed  to me like a gem and I decided to give a peacock coloured look. Used the blue, green and gold to get that wonderful look.

Mobile stand - Resin

When I thought of giving a send off gift for my brother, the 1st thing that vame to my mind is the mobile stand. And I could not think of anything else as his work involves more usage of mobile too along with laptop. 

The silicon mould for the same gave the flexibility to add anything in it and in went two leaves flowers and some glitters and shakers. It turned out exotic than I expected.
