I've been making resin art for a while now. I'm curious what the community actually values: the theme, craftsmanship, or just maker reputation?
Prices are all over the place, and I'd love to hear honest opinions.
Each one is hand-poured resin with embedded miniature props: the kunai, the ring, and the feather. The two-tone split on the Capslock (red/black hexagon into starfield) took about 4 attempts to get right without air bubbles killing the transparency.
Happy to answer questions about the process if anyone's curious.
Chasing jewel-grade clarity is the ultimate test in artisan crafting. This encapsulation is the result of refining my multi-shot resin workflow.
Pulling a crystal-clear piece from the silicone mold, polishing the walls, and testing the tight stem fitment for that dense thwock make every hour of the process worth it.
Just sharing a piece of the maker journey.
Thousand Sunny trapped in clear resin. Multi-layer cast, hand-sculpted waves, pressure-cured.
It took three pours to get the depth right on the water. The foam on the waves is sculpted separately before encapsulation.
Open for commissions if anyone's interested — details in profile.
Just finished polishing this batch of 5 different concepts, and my hands are officially tired. From the Kanto elemental biomes and the Hylian sword to the koi pond and the dark dragon, trying to encapsulate these different clay micro-sculpts in clear resin without catching any rogue bubbles in the pressure pot was a massive test of patience.
Which of these five themes speaks to your setup the most?
