Resin craft is a great way to make beautiful items for your home and gifts for yourself or others.
Hazel Oliver is the name behind Badger & Birch, whose eco-friendly practices include using solvent free and non-toxic resin, and incorporating natural waste such as mussel and oyster shells from her local restaurant, as well as natural minerals, gemstones, and crystals. In this her first book, Hazel shows you the basics of resin craft, including mixing and pouring, making molds, and finishing your pieces. The 30 projects include vases, planters, candle holders, and other items for the home, as well as molded decorations in leaf shapes and other natural forms. The soft colors, natural elements and beautiful finish of Hazel's work will inspire you to take up this flourishing new craft, or give you new ideas if you are already a keen resin crafter.
This was a quick read even though I've never done any resin crafting. I'm experienced in concrete, tiling, and mosaic, though, and the concepts are very similar. The projects in here are simple and accessible but nothing that I was interested in. The photography is professional and the step-by-step directions are clearly written.
