Resin H/F
« on: July 02, 2017, 08:41:14 PM »

  Tony decided to turn a couple of resins he cast a few  months ago... ( I got to do the stirring ) :)
  They are 4 1/2" and  3 1/2" high.
  Comments as always most welcome
  Kind Regards Tony di

 Hi Di & Tony,
                    Having seen some of your prototypes I am not surprised these have turned so good oh! Di leave Tony to do the Stirring. ;D

                                                           Regards John

The redss and maroons of the first pot are really rich, but the dreamy, whispy blues of the second are amazing. Great work (both of you).....but I'd especially like to say that the resin was clearly stirred to perfection!.

                   Thank You John... Thank You Les

 The colours will show more depth once they have been buffed, only used a bit of Yorkshire Grit up to now.
 Will try stirring anti clock wise next time , Tony said it will make a big difference  :) ;D
 Kind Regards Tony di

Tont,

I like the green/purple one but think the colours may be mixed a bit much, they seem to have homogenised a bit into a milky appearance.

But I've never played with resin and no idea how hard it may be to get right.

              Appreciated Ed...  Thank You.  Kind Regards Tony Di


      Thanks Bryan..... The double cream look is plain pearl powder which can tend to lose its impact under certain lights,
      especially when turned on the thin side... we have now learnt that when using certain light colours we will have to
      put more powder in the mix to get more definition.
      Kind Regards Tony di

 Hi Di & Tony,
                    After seeing these in the flesh so to speak last night the photographs do not do them justice and Di try stirring anti clockwise

                                    Regards John ;D

Tony, Di,

I understand the issues of trying to photograph things with an internal dimension like these. They say the camera dies not lie, but sometimes it doesn't want to admit he truth either.

I like John's idea of trying to stir the mix widershins.

   to answer you. ;D

   Anti clockwise will make me dizzy ... Tony is the biggest stirrer in this house . ;D ;D
