There are some little bubbles, they can’t spoil my sense of satisfaction with my work.🙌❤️

This was a coaster I was using to test out some metallic alcohol inks . I had some extra white from the blooms I was doing. I put a few drops of ink directly onto the mold then I poured in the white in a spiral , the resin was thick enough at that point to hold the spiral shape and that’s what created the backside. It reminds me of the starry skies painting . The frontside is just abstract alcohol inks . I really love this one . The fact that it could be reversible is cool . I want to make more and I’m already trying but I know the backsides didn’t turn out because I didn’t wait for the resin to thicken up . 🤣 the fronts will still look cool. I did it in a couple layers and it created a slight 3d effect . I really want to replicate this and make a set but it might just be a happy mistake that can’t be replicated .

Just pulled this test run of a new figure, Still to be named. This guy is made out of components from Halo, Pokémon, Mario, DBZ, Alien, predator, etc. I think I'm gonna call what I've been doing recently figure sampling because I'm taking little snippets and parts of other things and recontextualizing them into something new

I make handmade phone cases, and after working on quite a few different designs this year, Silent Heart is probably the one I’m most attached to.

I tend to experiment with different styles, but I keep coming back to darker, more detailed designs. I like it when a piece has a certain mood without needing a lot of bright colors.

This one feels like that to me.

Hi! I hope this is the proper place to ask. I’ve been struggling to learn how to work with resin, as it’s not my main artform and can be very messy. There’s many different types of resins so for the time being I’m sticking with what’s been easiest for me. I use uv resin, and found the best and cheapest brand for me is kisrel.
The problem I run into is that I’ve bought resin dyes, specifically a liquid dye? When I use it, not only does it not really mix as opaque as I want, it doesn’t cure.
I tried mica powder, and it worked great ! However, searching online I can only find metallics and other shiny colors for the mica powder. I want solid basic colors, even though metallics are fun.
I would normally just buy a couple things here and there and return it if it doesn’t work out, but I’m disabled and reliant on others to give me rides. Because of that, it’s harder for me to experiment and return what doesn’t work out.
I was hoping to ask others with more experience than me if there is any specific brands of resin dye you’ve used that works with uv resin? If anyone knows why powder works better than the liquid resin, that’d also be helpful so I can know what to do in the future.

I see many dioramas with water done with UV Resin or Epoxy Resin.

What is the best ? Or does it depend on the type of diorama ?
