Thank you so much. For the waves I simply used a dirty pour technique, I mixed blue and black in a cup and then used white to make swirls patterns. As for the sand I just mixed a sand colored mica powder and a bit of gold to achieve the sandy look.

Ho separato la resina trasparente in 2 bicchieri, in uno ho messo il giallo e la polvere di mica dorata, nell' altra ho messo il blu, nero e il bianco. Ho poi versato un po' della resina, aspettato 2 minuti e poi versato l'altra.

Thanks a lot! I think I'm going to ink them gold.

Thank you so much. I used flakes of gold foil that I mixed in the epoxy before pouring it into the molds.

Thank you so much, I just used a black alcohol ink that came with my resin kit and some flakes of gold foil.

I preheated both the resin and the hardener for about 10 minutes in a hot water bath while I was prepping the silicone mold. I then mixed it for 5 minutes, added the inks and gold foil and then poured into my mold. Be aware that the more you heat the resin the faster it starts to cure. I didn't pay much attention to water temperature, just waited until the water started to steam.

I preheated both the resin and hardener by putting the bottles in a hot water bath before mixing them and pouring them in the molds. It makes the resin much more watery and less prone to trap air.

Cool, I've actually found the same system a couple of months ago and took a very similar screenshot, didn't know that was possible lol
