My Favorite Things... AMAZING Inspiration from DeeDee Catron

Hiya Folks!! DeeDee here to give you a little bit of INSPIRATION!!

I have found through the past while of molding things that I keep going back to my vintage button molds. I can't get over the fact that I get to use my favorite bits over and over, even though they're vintage and almost one of a kind! You can find a post I did from a previous term on molding some buttons here, but today I want to share with you a different way to color them!

Here is a quick snip from the tutorial previously. The buttons have been molded with Amazing Mold Putty and colored with alcohol inks.

They've got a kind of fun pop art style with the bright color.

Which was perfect for their intended purpose that day!

But sometimes I want something a little more... a VINTAGE feeling! They are vintage buttons after all. That's when I crack out Alumilite Dyes. I mix in a super light amount of brown or black to give the Amazing Casting Resin a bit of an offwhite base. And then I douse the cured piece in Glimmer Glaze! It gives the cast button a sort of shimmery old metal feel.

I just so happened to use this one for the center of a shabby chic flower :)

Other supplies: Viva Las VegaStamps! Daisy stamp, UmWowStudio Make Note polaroid, Pink Paislee Hope Chest collection, Ranger archival ink, Distress stain, Distress ink, May Arts ribbons.

What are some of the ways you've

come to alter your cast pieces?

I'd love to hear about other things that work really well with the resin but might produce a different outcome! Thanks for stopping by today!  ~ DeeDee

Seeing Potential in Found Objects... AMAZING Inspiration from Susan M. Brown

Welcome to the long holiday weekend! Susan here with some AMAZING inspiration today. What are your favorite found objects??? For me it has to be shells, and other weathered, rusty and flattened objects I find on my daily travels... and I'm ALWAYS on the lookout. For this particular project, I have a lovely piece of shell I found on one of my trips to someplace tropical and I love it because this weathered piece of shell is in a heart shape... such potential, right?

I have every intention on using the original shell for a wire-wrapped and beaded necklace {that I've yet to make}, but meanwhile... Amazing Mold Putty to the rescue!!! I've made a mold of it to use for my artsy-crafty projects. Today it's in the STEAMPUNK genre. I've used the mold dusted with Gunmetal and Bronze Alumilite Metallic Powders and Amazing Casting Resin to make a shield for my Steampunk Flying Pig Button Fairy. I've also molded the layered, assembled buttons and gears – as many of these are one-off creations depending on the leftovers and goodies in my found object stash.

I think the shell piece gives a nice textural beastplate to my flying pig... and it came in handy that this particular casting was a bit of a mishap, as the top section had an air bubble that I couldn't see when I poured the Amazing Casting Resin. No worries! My layered geared nestled right in like it was meant  to be there... no altering necessary. For more information on how I created this button fairy... please click here.

I hope you are inspired to see found objects a little bit differently, perhaps in the shape, or utilizing it as part of a larger collection of items to form something entirely new.

What found objects do you treasure that you

could mold and cast into a new reality?
