Yes, I have become obsessed by this new (to me) art form. It's the most wonderful distraction from the world around me...and so much fun!
Here are a few more of my recent pours:
This first one... I love the shape of this vase and wanted to make it bright and distinctive. I used a bright red and blue and a dark green. As I poured I was really excited about how it looked. However, when it dried, it was very dull. Now, I know that this acrylic paint dries dull, so I thought I would just sprinkle some water on it (before I put the resin on) and see if it would brighten. It did! I loved it...until I touched it and found the paint washing off!
Not one to give up, I tried it again. Same result - it dried dull. This time I waited a few days and then put on a coat of resin. Ugh - I thought it was very dark and boring.
Interesting, you can see all the bright colors in the drips, but the vase is really dull. My artist friends seems to like it that way. I wasn't so sure and just put it aside. As few weeks later, I still didn't like it and started picking away at the resin. I found that I could peel it all off!This time I left out the dark green and added white to the mix of red and blue. I alternated the three colors in a cup and began to pour. Look at the difference!
And here is what happened on the bottom!I can't resist showing you some of the bottoms!
