Bioresin

So, after a lot of expense and relative sacrifice by myself I have bought £150 of bioresin.

It is amazing stuff. No odour, no fumes and no warning labels needed because it is apparently very safe stuff to use.

BUT it is not as good to use with fabrics as polyester resin because the fabrics need varnishing before they can be put into the resin or these bizarre air bubbles form.

It's taking forever to set when it's in disc form. I'm not sure what most people are using this for. It's a little bit odd because I am not sure what to expect from the results.

The one success has been dipping fabrics in the resin and moulding them over extruded shapes. The fabric looks great and the bioresin seems to be a success for this whereas the polyester resin was nothing short of awful.

I'm carrying on with the experiments and the sketchbook work but i feel i may be a bit behind.

I have given my notice in at topshop so I have more time to spend on my project and hopefully i will stop being so horribly ill. I'll miss some aspects of working there but the awful early mornings and late nights have taken their toll on my work and my health.
