I am slowly beginning to fill the board again for another pour late this week or early next week. All of the items with multiple bezels will be filled with colored resins. There is another tiny necklace bezel that is filled with watch parts only and no background image (hard to see in photo- very small). We'll see how that goes. And more belt buckles! Buckles are very hard to get perfect. They are slightly curved and the resin loves to run down the image and pool in the corners. Very frustrating...but doable. It's happened before.
The watch parts pendant is now complete. I know I said I was keeping this for myself. I like it but think I want a little mini version for myself. I just don't wear large jewelry. And though this piece is not very big it's always the smaller the better for me.
An overview of today's work.
•new buckles
•more fine silver pieces
•a few more yarn items that were overlooked
•finishing of the little bumblebee pendant
•3 new molds for fine silver
(they are the purple-ish blobs)
•more colored resin fun prep
•salvage day- recovering mess up supplies
It all looks so small. But that is what salvage days are like- tedious and boring. Luckily, my loss rate is pretty low so salvage day doesn't have to happen often (yay!). It went up a bit after my return...too long away from pouring. But ultimately, I'm back in the zone and shouldn't have to worry about that anymore.
I found this today. This was one of my first fine silver, self-directed projects. Not perfect but I do like the idea. The back of the bezel is dotted with raised and impressed circles and little round balls. Hmmm. Gears a-movin'.
