Green Man in Resin

Well I plucked up courage and decided to pour my large green man mould.   To say I am chuffed with it is an understatement. 

I brush the mould with various coloured pigment powders and then mixed some green resin.  As the mould is so deep I did it in two layers; adding the second layer when the first had started to set, and made the second layer a slightly different shade of green.

I took a few pictures to try and capture the sparkle in him.  He is about 8.1/2" tall and about 6" at his widest width:

I have just ordered his wife, and also another smaller size of him and his wife so watch this space!

A Green Man

I bought this lovely Green Man mould with a view to casting him in resin, but chickened out at the last minute (although I will cast him in resin in due course).   However,  this one was created using air dry  clay and then painted with acrylic paints.    I was really pleased with the finished result.   I may apply a very thin coat of resin on him to protect him and make him weatherproof, or use weatherproof varnish.     I am hoping that they make the moulds in smaller sizes eventually too.

I also sent for some more craft concrete, and I will make him using that too. which will also make him weatherproof.  He would look great on a flowerpot
