First Resin Casting

I've been wanting to try this for a long time and finally did recently using Easy Cast resin and the usual jewelry mold. Some of them turned out pretty good (top two rows), and some are okay (next two rows), and a few got big bubbles. I learned that planning is very important. And don't mix or pour too much resin. And that rhinestones will flatten in resin.



I already have some more on the go, and always looking for things that can be put into resin, or that I can pour resin into.
