PPC

We got a lesson today by PPC on how to work with cerment. I absolutely loved it! I think it just felt good to be able to just make something, just because that is what popped into your head and no one is judging it. I think we all got to let our hair down and just made silly fun things.

Africa Pendants

Display Box

I bought this box and thought it would make a really nice display box for my africa necklaces. I have put hooks into the top for the necklaces to hang now I just need to paint it white.

Cast pieces

Epoxy

These are my 2 pieces which I used Epoxy mixed with Acrylic paint. 

This gives the pieces a very hi-gloss finish but I did not relise that the Epoxy couldn't be filed or sanded because it just goes gummy which I learnt the hard way. So when I use this twchnique again I will make sure that the Epoxy is completely. 

Plastic Over the Resin

 

I found out from one of my lecurers that if you put plastic over the Resin that it would help the resin to dry quicker but I think my pieces were too full of resin and the plastic caused the resin to overflow.  

Resin Pallet

Palmiet River

 

I love the way the water glissens when it goes over the little stones.

Palmiet Crossing

We such city people who thought crossing a little river would be so difficult?

 

So Chris Crosses...

 

And Marlene to the rescue.

Palmiet Nature Reserve

We went and spent the day at Palmiet in Westville to look at the plants. It is so amazing what you can see when you take in whats around you.
