Dia de Muertos and the Many Faces of AMAZING Mold Rubber... by Tanya Ruffin

My hand-painted mask, resin embellished fan and necklace.

This Halloween season we attended a ball called the Ghostly Gala and the theme was Dia de Muertos. I thought...WAHOO!!! Today's post will show the multiple uses for the same resin piece using Amazing Crafting Products.

I used a dollar store skull mold to make a resin skull piece with Amazing Casting Resin.

Then I painted it and embellished it with some cast resin roses. Then after seeing the outcome I decided to cast a mold of that skull in Amazing Mold Rubber and I loved the results!!!

I have a plethora of molds in the works.

The Sugar skull is on the left... the Amazing Mold Rubber
really shows the detail of the roses.

I added some Alumilite Black Dye in the Amazing Casting Resin. If you do not have black dye or your pieces don't match, you can paint the piece with black acrylic paint after. Using the mold above, I made some embellishments to add to my costume.

I, of course, had to use some Rub 'n Buff® to my pieces. You could also brush some Alumilite Metallic Powders into the mold before you pour the resin.

I purchased a plain black fan and added the sugar skull

resin piece to the edge and also a cast skeleton cameo.

I also found a spider web necklace at Dirt Cheap (for less than two bucks) and adorned it with another sugar skull resin piece.

What will you bedazzle with
handmade resin embellishments?

Moldmaking that is AMAZINGLY Remeltable...

Hello Amazing Crafters! It's an exciting time here on the Amazing Crafting Products blog, and we just had to drop some sneek peeks! Our ACP family of products has a brand new molding product... AMAZING REMELT. Our Amazing Creative Team has been busy playing with this new product in conjunction with the Amazing Crafting Products line and the Alumilite Dyes and Metallic Powders and look forward to sharing their creations starting next month.

What is Amazing Remelt???

Amazing Remelt is a one-part, heat and pour mold making material that can be remelted and poured to create new molds. Molds can then be used with casting resins, clays, soap, wax, and it's even approved for food contact. It is now available in Hobby Lobby Stores and also on the Amazing Crafting Products website.

If you are having trouble viewing... please CLICK HERE to view.

and... Amazing Remelt is Food Safe too!

Amazing Remelt is a Non Toxic, 1-part reusable mold making material for room temperature or low exotherm materials. Amazing Remelt softens at 120°F and becomes liquid at 135°-140°F – melted in the microwave or by traditional double-boiler method. It can be re-melted and re-used to make new molds time and time again. Amazing Remelt is ideal for making molds of smaller items such as jewelry, embellishments, and chocolate molds. Once you create your Amazing Remelt mold you can cast using Amazing Casting Resin, Amazing Clear Cast Resin, polymer clay, fondant and other food items such as butter, ice, chocolate... and more!

New to mold making and casting???

Amazing Remelt is for you!

This unique product can be remelted and reused, making it not only economical, but eco-friendly. If you aren't happy with the results, you can melt down and re-pour around your object. Amazing Remelt gives you amazing detail and is great for push molds, texture plates and prototyping too!

Starting in November, Amazing Remelt will be joining the lineup here on the blog as our designers will be sharing this new product and it's AMAZING creative uses!

Thanks for stopping by and have a fabulous evening!

Under the Light of the #Cre8time Moon Shines the Bride of Steampunkenstein... by Tanya Ruffin

According the Wikipedia Steampunk is a subgenre of speculative fiction or science fiction that emphasizes anachronistic technology, usually from the Victorian era.

If you think of it that way, then the perfect Steampunk creation would be the Bride of Frankenstein. She was a Victorian lady that was then brought back to life using lightning, gears and gadgets.... and lots of gauze.

First I started with a few Etsy purchased Bride of Frankenstein cameo molds that were cast in Amazing Mold Putty. Using some Alumilite Black Dye, I mixed up some Amazing Casting Resin and poured them into the mold {CLICK HERE to view mixing/preparation}.

After the Amazing Casting Resin cured, the color wasn't quite dark enough for me, so I painted them all with acrylic paint.

Now the cameo is dark black. It looks a little wonky from this angle. I trimmed the edges with scissors and a cleaned up with a file (I use cheap fingernail files).

With E6000® I started gluing on embellishments. I had some large gears that I glued to the backside and a watch hand that I chose to represent the white streak in her hair. I also used some gold, silver and copper Rub 'n Buff®.
