hyaenija:So, I’ve wanted to try making my own toys for a long time. I decided to finally figure out how to create silicone molds and cast in resin a few weeks ago. A while back I posted a clay sculpture I did of a snail (specifically meant to be the Fire Snail, Platymma tweediei) and I created that sculpture with the intent of making resin copies. The problem is that I don’t have a vacuum degasser, so I have no way of pulling bubbles out of the resin copies I make. This doesn’t seem to have any effect on the resin snails other than cosmetic problems, but the snails are meant to be painted anyways so this isn’t too much of a problem. Still, I think I’m going to put this idea on the back-burner for a while until I can improve the end result a bit more.This unpainted snail is on my Etsy if anyone is interested in painting it (I recommend using a primer first).Etsy | DeviantArt | Instagram (Main) | Instagram (Snail Art) -- source link
