This is the very first cast that I have ever done. I wanted to do this from the
very start, but this contest pushed me to buy the stuff to go ahead and jump in!
This is a 4 color Alumilite blank cast under pressure. It looks like a galaxy, so I will call it galaxy. Thank
you for the opportunity to participate.

Entry 4

This was a 5 color pour. I was going for a view of earth from space. I used a long clicker to show as much of the blank as possibleI'm thinking of calling it Terra, or 3rd rock.

Four color pour using Alumilite bought during this years Bash. Used Dark blue, light blue, white and silver paint with a little pearlex for good measure, and reverse painted the blank silver. I call it "The perfect Storm".
