More like thisHello there crafty people! I wanted to share my updated project with hope to share some insight into the wonderful world of resin jewelry and preserving foliage. Prepare your reading glasses... Over the past few years I have collected almost one hundred clovers of the 4+ leaf variety making them into keychains and necklace pendants. I started with a basic plastic mold and a cheaper resin, which worked fine in the beginning. I learned the correct mixing ratios, how to kill bubbles, the wonders of a heat gun, and how (just like baking) exact measurements are a must. My last batch came out rather cloudy and yellow tinged (about a year ago). After I ran out of my first lot of clovers, I delved deeper into my research and heard some wonderful things about silicone molds. I finally found one I liked, and went to town. The first test cast I did with mold release (about 2-3 layers, completely dry before casting) and one without any mold release. Both came out cloudy and rather dull. Even after careful sanding (wet/dry sanding in many grades) and a test top coat, there just wasn't enough clarity to call it perfect. Nothing seemed to work. So, I decided to attack the project I love so much from a new direction. I learned that dull molds tend to cast dull surfaces. And while silicone is amazing with its flexibility and ability to capture detail, for my simple shapes, it just would not do the trick. I have had much success and happiness from plastic molds and with a newer (albeit more expensive) resin, I feel confident in this latest casting. It has much less work time than what I've been used to, so I was not able to get rid of all the bubbles, but the clarity thus far is amazing! If you are a resin crafter yourself, or if you would like tips/tricks to do this yourself I would love to hear/chat with you! TL;DR - Resin casting is an awesome hobby. Learning to make it perfect can be a pain in the booty and wallet. Post questions/comments for further discussion~ Can you preserve fourResin is a great way to preserve plant material. My daughter found a four-leaf clover when she was 5 and I framed it, although over time it faded. Resin encases the clovers and keeps them green for much longer.

You can either use drying screens or an electric food dehydrator for this. If you use drying screens, make sure the blossoms get good air circulation and it is a warm, sunny day. An electric food dehydrator (this one is amazing) can be used to dry herbs quickly.
