Spring has Sprung with Fancy Flowers... AMAZING Inspiration from Melony Miller Bradley our Featured Artist for March

Hello Amazing Creatives! Today we have some "SPRINGTIME" inspiration from our Featured Artist Melony Miller Bradley using Amazing Crafting Products. Melony has created a set of fanciful napking rings - ready for the new season ahead.

Fancy Flowers Napkin Rings

I love creating custom tableware such as linens, tablecloths and napkin rings. Spring has been a long time coming this year so I was inspired to create these napkin rings using Amazing Mold Putty, Amazing Casting/Clear Cast Resins and Alumilite Metallic Powders.

I used a mold provided by a friend, dusted with Alumilite Metallic Powders, then filled with Amazing Casting Resin to create the flower used in this design. Then I used Amazing Clear Cast Resin to create a clear coating for the front. I mounted it on a wood napkin ring and used a rub on sentiment on the resin.

A perfect set ready to serve

Summer Table Setting

Hi all!  For my project this month, I decided to concentrate on summertime table settings. With spring in the air and my husband readying the back yard pond and fountains and patio for guests, I wanted to create some fun new napkin rings.  So out came my Amazing Mold Putty and Amazing Casting Resin.

To start, I had to search for something to use as a base.  I chose the cardboard center of a (or spool) of a roll of ribbon.  Then, to give it some texture and depth I used my glue gun to add some stings of glue all over it.

Next I mixed my Amazing Mold Putty part "A" and part "B" in equal parts

(see website via the link for detailed instructions).

Next, I made molds of this and some other items to use on my napkin ring.

Once my putty was set (about 10 minutes - or when you can scrape the side with your fingernail and it doesn't come off).  The detail I was able to get in my mold was really quite amazing. With all of the mold I've created, I still wasn't sure this would work, but just look at the next picture to see how detailed you can actually get with your putty.

Is this cool or what?

Next, I used my Amazing Casting Resin to mold my pieces.

Now, I'm not gonna lie, the ring itself took a little work to get out, but it was totally worth it. Once I popped the pieces out I glued them together and then painted them solid black. 

I went over the black with a blue green color, then a seafoam green. I finished it off with some antique gold rub.

What do you think? I love how this looks like some high end metal napkin ring that I might have bought in downtown Laguna Beach; but really I made it lickety split in my craft room.  Now I just need to make 7 more!  Thanks for stopping by and checking out my project.  Please leave me a comment and let me know what you think.  Don't forget to hop over to the Amazing Mold Putty website and check out their truly Amazing products!
