Replicas


I’m quite pleased with how this has worked out. On the left are the buttons I use on my knitting needles with the shank cut off, though I can’t get these anywhere anymore! So what I did was create a mould from the buttons with silicone. I used gelcoat for the brown middle first so that it didn’t run everywhere, then the next morning topped it up with yellow resin and ta da!

    I can’t tell the difference, that is really clever! I love this resin malarky… when I’ve got some spare pennies (no pun intended!) I’m definitely getting your book and some moulds. 🙂
