Caribbean Sea

Last night, I decided to work with Epoxy again. With my EasyCast in hand, and a collection of Pearl Ex Pigments, that I normally use as eyeshadow. I figured these pigment powders would look great if I mixed them up into some epoxy.

I'd still have transparent sheen, with a bit of blue coloring added to the mix. My imagination began to run wild, and I began thinking about my latest tropical vacation, and how I collected a nice selection of seashells that I never used for anything.

Put 2 and 2 together, and wallah, the mermaids lair is born.

I first mixed up my epoxy, and then added a very tiny bit of Pearl Ex to the epoxy mix, and then mixed and mixed some more until the powder was all throughout the mix.

Setting that aside, I then added my pretty little seashells to my mold, and poured the colored epoxy into the mold slowly.

I was not sure how it would turn out, or if even adding color was a good idea. In the morning when my epoxy was cured, I removed it and discovered what you see before you

Quite lovely wouldn't you say?

-----You can pick up some shells here on Amazon in bulk. The tinier the better, because you can fill the mold more.
