Birdcage Amsterdam Style update

Here an update on the birdcage, changed the colour from brown and white to green, makes the profile stand out much more. All the metal wires are in, only need to make a base still and figure out how to attach the door with a springloaded locking system. Way much more work than I anticipated.

Epoxy Resin Pendant

Just made a pendant for the first time for a friend. I made a crude drawing of a cat's face on paper and mixed 5 minute epoxy and poured it on top, let it dry, cut out around the resin and then same thing on the backside added with a piece of brass wire, and there you go. Instant pendant with drawing. Might have to change to slow setting epoxy to get rid of all those bubbles that come from mixing the 2 components but would drag the process to over 48 hours, if you have any ideas let me know? (apart from using vacuum that is)

New Experiment

Yesterday I tried something quick with epoxy resin. I had this piece of tree branch already cut and I cut a section out of it, then soldered 6 green led's to a phone charger and poured green coloured resin on it. It didn't quite come out as I hoped, but I guess that happens. I had hoped for a more diffuse lighting instead of those sharp pin points of light. The leftover resin I added to 2 pieces of tree branch which will become coat hanger hooks. Well, see for yourself and let me know if you have any thoughts or ideas about this. Already thought this could be a cool bed side book reading light when you screw the branch to the wall, with white light of course.

Birdcage Amsterdam Style

I've been busy building a birdcage, don't know why really, but when you google them they just have a nice shape and feel, preferably without any actual bird in it. And if you have been to Amsterdam, you will have noticed those lovely old slim and tall buildings lining the canals, so that's what I chose to mimic, being dutch and all. Here's a photo of the item under construction. Still need to finish the painting and then add the metal wires in the windows and sort out a door, oh and perhaps a swing for the bird :)
