Making of Underwater Cave

I love reusing leftover paint, and have come to love using wooden panels, ideal for resin work

Wood Panel

Christmas gift, a voucher that enabled me to buy four wooden panels..... thanks Sue and John xx

Acrylic layer

I re-use all paint that is left over, this paint salvaged from the table after a large ocean pour. Amazing blues

Mica powders selected which are added to resin

Mixing six micas and inks to resin is hectic, you need to be fast as the resin cures
