It's hosted by The Goblins Cave ☺️

Watch the process as I dust the mould with brilliant warm chameleon colour-shifting powders to bring the feathers to life, backed by a mix of deep black and red mica pigments, alcohol inks glitter, and clear epoxy resin.

I also ran into a few tricky bubbles and troubles along the way, but UV resin saved the day before the final reveal!

Safety Warning
Working with epoxy and UV resin is incredibly rewarding, but safety should always be your first priority. Always work in a well-ventilated area and wear appropriate Personal Protective Equipment (PPE), including a respirator rated for organic vapours, nitrile gloves, and safety goggles. Resin is a chemical that can cause sensitivities or allergic reactions over time, so keep your skin covered and ensure your workspace is away from living areas and pets. Stay safe and craft responsibly!
