My Embedded Casting Entry

[Buzzzz4]

Ok, so I couldn't enter this year as I put together the contest instead. But this is what I would have entered if I was allowed. It is dyed red hibiscus pods in brown/cream resin. In the last pic, the sparkles shine back at you looking like I need to dust the pen. Just the reflection of the sparkles.

Thanks for looking!

Wow that looks nice, it's the first hibiscus pods I'm seeing. Very nice

 

[Buzzzz4]

Thank you. I hadn't seen any others before. And it turned easier than pinecones.

Very nice! And, I bet it looks a LOT nicer yet in person. I'm finding it really hard to take pictures of embedded castings that show the true sparkle and depth seen when holding it in your hand with some good light. Frustrating! Russ

Nicely turned it fits the hardware perfectly. Love the work you guys are doing with Acrylics.

Very cool cast Eric! Isn't it fun wanting to join in but knowing you can't :tongue::biggrin:

I know I already offered to take the casting contests back, but I dunno. After seeing this I kinda want to play again for 1 more year...:devil:
