They're quite simple...we just formed rough wing shapes out of thicker wire and then wrapped skinny wire around a few times. Then we used Elmer's glue to attach a bit of metallic tissue paper to the wire. When that was dry we spread some Easy Cast epoxy resin (the "mix-2-equal-parts-of-the-2-bottles-together" stuff) on them, suspended them from a little dowel and let them dry. Here are the results...

I didn't make this sparkly wire "flower"; I saw it in a floral supply store, and like a crow was immediately drawn to its shiny-ness. "Oooooh, it sparkles...I want it" is pretty much the primitive state my brain reverts to in such situations. But look...it sparkles so nicely, doesn't it?

so, did you like the easy cast? was it simple to use, would you use it again? I want to try resin, but don't want to start w/ the most expensive one!I loved the yabas you showed, thanks for sharing
The Easy Cast was pretty easy to use. I haven't tried Ice Resin which is getting so much press these days, so I can't say how it compares, but I'm pretty happy with this brand for now. I got a few books from the library and really tried experimenting and some stuff didn't turn out and some did, but since it was just a grand experiment that worked.
