SO! After pouring my resin into my plastic moulds and leaving it over night to cure I checked it to find that the resin had melted through the plastic. I had made a makeshift lab using a large plastic box on the fire escape as I didn't want to inhale any more of the fumes. It had melted the plastic moulds, run into the box and then cured beautifully. Just in a puddle shape.
After a lot of swearing I have mixed up another lot of resin, greased up a metal mixing bowl and started experimenting with painting resin onto fabric. I've also got an icecube tray as that was one of the ideas put across on the CSM course.
Unfortunately this means that I have a melty puddle thing to take to my tutorial and no fabulous pendants but i must persevere. I've been scanning my sketchbook and working on it in illustrator. I'm so pleased with the line quality i have achieved but I just feel that there is something lacking at the moment.
In the next week I am going to persevere with the resin moulding, make some pendant moulds using latex (which I will have to buy at great expense), continue working on my sketchbook and taking my work into illustrator and introduce stitch into my project.
I just hope that I don't asphyxiate myself with the fumes or melt anything else.
