When I first started working with resin, I scoured the internet for how-to information. There are some nice books on the subject, though it was through trial and error that I really figured out what I was doing. This will be the first in a series of resin how-to’s, and I hope it provides some useful information. The instructions provided are just based on my own experiences, personal preference

So I really fell off the wagon as far as posting. But I did finish my challenge, sort of...I did succeed in finishing the 42 new items I needed for my goal.

Of course, I should have anticipated that as soon as I make a plan and determine to follow it, life will immediately throw me something to undermine my efforts.

For some time I've had the goal of listing 100 items in my shop.

But wait! What about that bowl filled with half-finished

I know I promised camping pictures, but I don't have any! My dad took all the photos and I haven't downloaded them yet. So you'll just have to believe me - we had a great time. Very, very D I R T Y, but tons of fun. Garion absolutely loved it! His favorite thing to do in camp was "cooking" pine needles and sticks on his imaginary rock stove.
