Mica Powder Brush-In: How to Get a Hyper-Realistic Seahorse Resin Finish

It's chameleon painting time again! ✨ Let’s transform a stunning, grooved seahorse mould into a dazzling, colour-shifting resin charm.

Welcome to the mesmerising world of chameleon pigment and resin crafting! We're casting in this groovy seahorse mould, and its intricate design is perfect for showing off the shifting magic of chameleon pigment powder. Today's palette features three shades: a dark one to make the fins and snout pop, a light one for body accents, and a main filler colour to bring it all together.

These little seahorses are absolutely gorgeous and detailed. The chameleon effect is subtle yet stunning—the contrasting pigment layers create a beautiful visual dance on the body. These can be sweet little charms or part of a bigger project, like my under-the-sea pen holder.(will be sharing next week )
