EGL Resin Coffins

So two months ago I started on a trip down resin road and I have not yet come back. I really love making coffins specifically. I like geometric shapes and am working on building a collection of molds in various shapes like triangles, hexagons, squares ect.



These are just 6 of the designs Ive come up with, if you want to see more designs follow me on instagram: glitter_witch_crafts I have been working on a method for design and how to make a composition. So far I've worked out a plan to make these work. 

First off I am using a mold from Sophie and Toffee and its a good mold. There are replicas on ebay and amazon. At this moment I am looking for smaller coffin molds to make daintier charms but cannot find any, now Sophie & Toffee are coming out with another coffin shape mold but I would have to subscribe to get it and I am not looking to take this subscription again. I liked getting the different molds but alot of them I just dont use so I have ventured out to look for solo molds from Etsy, amazon, Ebay....you get the jist. 

So if you are wondering how can I too make a beautiful EGL coffin piece? First off I will say composition is everything. I like to draw out my ideas really roughly and then plot out what materials I am looking to use. That means going through my stash and seeing what I have available. If I need to buy something for my project I will hold off until can get something similar or the actual item is available. Sketching is your best friend, work it all out on paper before you waste your resin and supplies. This way you have a plan of action to follow and the steps wont seem as tedious.  Generally I put in about 3 layers of resin on these, some are encapsulated some arent.

Marc Jacobs Blaquer Mascara

So I may be the last person in the word right now to tell everyone what I think of Marc Jacobs beauty but slowly I'm making my way through the products.  http://www.sephora.com/lash-lifter-gel-volume-mascara-P379421 The first product I want to talk about is the Marc Jacobs Blaquer Mascara, this product is a tubing mascara and builds up amazing volume. The wand is triangular in circumference which is really great for getting to all of my lashes, it's also very long which grabs most of them at once and since it's a tubing mascara it would need to. My eye lashes are super black and don't smudge or run and I have extremely runny eyes that just pour tears out of my outer corner whenever they are even slightly irritated. So lucky me, this mascara is yet another 25$ way too expensive product but honestly it's great. Here's the down side I do not recommend putting mascara on the top and bottom at the same time. Some mascara's don't mind touching together but sin...

AAH - Art Sketch Books That I Have Used 11/20/21  Currently I am using a sketch book called the Artist Line sketch book. This can be purchased from Dollar Tree though sometimes it is out of stock. Apparently this is a popular item because recently I have not been able to buy one near me. I found some in stock at a Dollar Tree about an hour away though so I purchased more stock. I still have 3 books that have not been touched and my dog destroyed two lol.  So far I have completed about 7 journals considering my dogs destroyed two. I really like these books mainly because they are small and easy to carry around. There are only 50 pages they are hot pressed and are best used with pencil or ball point pen. Considering almost all of my sketches are done in pencil or pen these are the best bang for my buck. There is another line of sketch pads that Dollar Tree offers and I have tried most of them. So far these are my favorite but I will show off the other drawing pads later ...

Graphic 45 Mother Goose Tag

Here is my first blog post for graphic 45's design team cast call. This tag is using the Mother Goose 8x8 collection. I also cut pieces from the Prima nursery rhyme collection journal card book. I made a pocket with the journal card and fussy cut some flowers to make a cluster on one side. I love the way this tag came out because I have admired the work of many youtubers and bloggers who make amazing work with graphic 45 papers and I am happy to see that I can also create something amazing. I also filmed a youtube video that I will link as soon as I am done editing it so everyone can see the process.
