Copper Posted October 20, 2005 Share Posted October 20, 2005 Hi all, newbie here just starting to learn. I've been reading the boards and looking at the gallery for a few months and finally got up enough nerve to try a few techniques. I loved the threads about the mottles, so I thought I'd try. It's amazing how just tiny amount of something can change the finish. I haven't tried to duplicate these so don't know if they would happen again, but it was fun playing!Sharon Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Copper Posted October 20, 2005 Author Share Posted October 20, 2005 Thank you for the nice comments! They were all mostly made the same way 16 oz 13431 oz raspberry-vanilla from Just Scent4 drops red,one drop blue, one drop black liquid coloringexceptleft had .1 oz vybar 343 and few pellets of clear crystalscenter had .2 oz vybar 343 and little more clear crystalsright had .2 oz vybar 343 and about 1 gram clear crystalsSorry I couldn't be more exact about the clear crystals, but I couldn't get a measurement until the third pillar. Also, these molds are only 2" by 3.5"; I didn't know if that would make a difference.Sharon Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kaybee23 Posted October 20, 2005 Share Posted October 20, 2005 SharonWhat temp did you pour these, were the all poured at the same temp. Were your molds room temp? Thanks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Copper Posted October 20, 2005 Author Share Posted October 20, 2005 What temp did you pour these, were the all poured at the same temp. Were your molds room temp? ThanksOops, sorry, forgot about that part. They were all poured at about 185 into slightly heated molds. (My house gets pretty chilly)Sharon Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Henryk Posted October 20, 2005 Share Posted October 20, 2005 They look great - I also like the sporadic mottling. Before I knew it, I could just tell you used vybar 343 - it really dries up the surface but makes the mottle more even. Every time I used vybar 343 in 1343 I get granite mottling (what I refer to as your left one). They look good in a grouping too! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mtngrl Posted October 22, 2005 Share Posted October 22, 2005 I think I've finally seen good evidence why v 343 is desireable. I'm inspired. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
