I have several cameo silicone molds. Cameos bring me great joy and I have had a lot of fun creating my own designs. I thought it would be fun if the gears were coming out of the actual cameo.
.
The cameos have to be done over two days. The face and body need to be painted and let dry before adding the background. I mixed one batch of resin and divided it up into different jar lids. The Let’s Resin kit has pigments and sparkles. I’ve noticed the sparkles make bubbles more likely to form.
I mixed up a silvery black for the frame. Using a paintbrush, I filled up the frame. The gears were inserted and positioned in a way to for them to show from the front. I painted the faces of the cameo gold. I wanted it to look more metallic. The next day I mixed up the silvery color to pour over the gold body.
After the cameos had hardened for 24 hours I popped them out of their molds and glued them to the frame.
