Hurricane Protection Candle with Resin Accent

Hi, It's Tanya again with another Louisiana inspired project. Getting sick of them yet? I'm not. :)

I just LOVE Amazing Mold Putty! It gives you the opportunity to cast found objects and items you have hand made. I used polymer clay to create a sacred heart and made a mold, then cast it with Amazing Casting Resin.

Using a plain candle at the dollar store, I decoupaged a design I created from a painting of mine (and come computer work) to the candle. A few embellishments and my Amazing Crafting Products created sacred heart and I am ready to ward off the next hurricane.

I added Alumilite Silver Metallic Powder to the mold before I poured in the resin.

This gave the paint an extra pop when I painted the heart. The heart glistens in the light!

What ideas are swirling in your head

with the thought of casting your own handmade items?
