Christmas Resin Waterslide Tray or How I Made Something Simple So Very Complicated -- It's a Gift!

I had a flea-market find I wanted to transform. It's a nice old 11.5" x 14" wooden tray with an etched Christmas scene in it. I decided to cover that up with white resin, use some adorable Christmas-y penguin waterslides, a few different glitter shapes, and turn the entire tray into an adorable Penguins on Holiday tray for a lucky gift swap recipient. Boy, did things go wrong and then more wrong and then ... well, you'll need to watch for yourselves. I'm laughing now, but I wasn't during the video shoot.

I love Swirls! Mostly swirls of color, but really any swirls at all - I think they add a beauty and grace to everything. So after I started making soap a few years ago, and needing some sort of biz name that didn't sound like everyone else's version of suds-r-us, I decided on Luxinda Swirl. Luxinda is a twist on my real name, and I quickly started putting swirls of color in all of my handmade soaps.

Now I'm branching out a bit, and I want to keep adding swirls to everything I do!
