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.
