A few of you might remember me from my old journal
iluvacslater when I made the nursery with the stick mobile.
I then came back and asked about ways to incorporate my son's ashes into a necklace.
And now I'm back for more help!
I've decided to mix his ashes in with polymer clay and make a "sculpture", and then embed that in resin for long-term durability.
Now I've never used resin before, and I want to know if you can embed sculpey in it.
And also, I need to make a custom mold for the resin and I was wondering what you ladies use to make molds.
Can you use sculpey to make a mold if you use mold release?
Any other resin or sculpey tips you ladies would like to share would be greatly appreciated. I've never worked with either medium before, and though I do intend to practice a bit before I actually incorporate his ashes, I want to get as much info on them as I can.
I promise to post pictures when I'm done!
I'm also working on a painting that has some of his ashes in it, and I'll post that too!
Thanks in advance, gals!
