Resin Art

I've been working a lot with Alumilite to cast some cubes and also cast objects in the resin.  Its a lot of fun and produces some really cool pieces.  I like to imagine its my homegrown "carbonite freezing".

I did a Teseract cube for my youngest son. Getting the blue dye transparent enough with the pearlescent powder mix is tricky.  I don't want it to transparent and I want the blue pearlescent powder to show as well. The first go is nice but I might try for some more transparency next time.

Casting objects has been a blast.  My wife offered up a Hello Kitty toy.  I put it in a 4.5" HDPE casting cube. It turned out huge!  

I also did a couple of Star Wars ships in a smaller 4" silicone mold.  I got the height wrong on the Tie Bomber.  The Mandalorian Guantlet fighter came out pretty good.  I really like the look of the ships over the burl wood.  Gives a nice outer space feel.

I'm going to cast some more and probably put some up for sale.  I'll probably turn some into spheres as well. Hopefully, I can keep them away from the kids and offer them for sale.
