sorry for bad lighting, here are a few current experiments using resin. the large pendant, i poured colored resin directly into the setting; the dried rose petal was done in layers in a Kap Creations oval jewel mold and added to the flat frame with E6000; the painted skeleton keys are also from Kap, and domed over to seal the added details. it is a lot easier to color the outline than to fill it in the skull and bones, but either way, the details are very fine and fussy.

i love Kap's molds but the details are often very intricate like that, and the shapes can be a bitch to dome front and back. despite what the poor lighting shows, the molds are shiny without doming, but sort of flat. i find doming helps bring out the colors and details better, if you have the patience.
