Sea Shore Bottle Stoppers

[DestinTurnings]

I made these from three color homecast PR. It was a two part pour and I added some sugar white Destin, FL beach sand between layers and glued down a couple of shells while I was there. I mixed a little pearl in with the clear topcoat and the photos make it stand out a bit more than it does when you look at them in person.

It was really fun getting the blanks out of the PVC since when I poured the clear, it seeped down into the space where the bottom layer shrunk when it cured.

Great theme and really nice work

Excellent imagination!
A tip for your PVC molds. On the band saw make a cut all the way through one side. When you go to pour place a piece of masking tape down the cut to seal it. After the blank has cured, remove the tape and use a screw driver and twist it in the cut. This will release the mold and the blank will fall right out.

ugh.........Show off!!!!

Nice work. I bet those will be a hit.

I don't get the green and blue. Should it not be brown like the ocean maybe with some black blobs resembling tar balls......or is that just Galveston?

Not so sure about the ocean where you are...this is where I spend a lot of my time in the summer.

Nice work. And a great idea.

I was in Destin for a week in May. And it just so happens, I brought back a 20 oz coke bottle full of Destin sand. Hmmmm . . . . Who's work should I cop . . . . . . . . . . . . I Mean. . . . . . . . What should I make?

You obviously haven't been to Destin. It's not called the "Emerald Coast" for nothing.:wink:

Those are some works of genius there. Normally I'm not a big fan of the seashell type stuff (long story), but I have to hand you some credit for imagination, execution and a wonderful finished product.
