Playing with Casting Compound Again

 



I though I would try to create a geode with casting compound;   unfortunately my brain cell wasn't connected properly, and I forgot that I had to work from front to back, and put the colours in first and then the base colour!   Duh!  I realised half way through, so I just got a cocktail stick and did some swirls, and added some gilding flakes.   I will have to try again!
I used Jesmonite liquid colours, and although I only used a tiny drop, they are very powerful.




I had some left over compound so I used it up on this little candle holder/trinket dish.  I think it is a bit Clarice Cliff inspired!
