Hello Everyone! I'm so excited that the long wait is almost over and the new season of Doctor Who begins in just 5 days. I have a several projects of WHOvian nature just for this week as the excitement builds.
Remember a while back I created a pendant from a rubber stamp using Amazing Mold Putty and Amazing Casting Resin??? Today, I am sharing another mold that I've created to show the AMAZING detail captured by Amazing Mold Rubber... except this is a FANDOM favorite – the Blue Police Box from Doctor Who.
**PLEASE NOTE** I am the illustrator of this stamp and have obtained permission from the manufacturer, Viva Las VegaStamps! in order to do this {and for the pendant done previously}. Before doing a project such as this - please check with each stamp company's ANGEL POLICY to make sure you aren't in violation.
This mold I created along with several others prepared when mixing an entire container of Amazing Mold Rubber {please CLICK HERE to view mixing/preparation}. When the mold was cured, I painted a variety of blue, gold and pearl Alumidust directly to the mold using a fine paintbrush, and poured a layer of Amazing Clear Cast Resin. I could have used this "AS IS" but I wanted it to have the glowing bright blue color of a proper vessel for time travel.
This is easily remedied! I placed resin piece back into mold and I prepared a small batch of Amazing Clear Cast Resin by mixing equal parts of "A" and "B" {CLICK HERE to view preparation}. To that I added a couple dabs of Blue Alumidust using a recycled coffee stir stick from Starbucks. I just picked a bit up on the end of the stick about 3 times.
I stirred completely, then poured
on top of the cured resin piece.
I used the stick to spread evenly
and fill the remaining space in the mold.
After curing overnight – my Blue Police Box is truly GLOWING! I trimmed off the flashing with scissors and gently filed the edges with an emory board. Now I have a companion embellishment to go with my "Ode to the Raggety Man {Doctor 11}" Mini Book. CLICK HERE to jump over see my "Companion" Doctor WHO Mini Book.
A glowing BLUE BOX
for my Time Traveler!
I need to make a little trip to the hardware store... an then I have some special plans for my resin blue box.
Stay tuned... I will be sharing more WHOvian creations throughout the week! :) Sb

My sister-in-law was a little offended when I told her we needed to leave her birthday party early enough to be home by 8:00 to watch Doctor Who. She is turning 60 but has never heard of it. She doesn't understand why I don't want to watch in the middle of a big party full of people who aren't fans. She thinks I should just record it and watch it later. I don't know how to make her understand. ;-)
ReplyDeleteOh dear! Perhaps recommend she start watching the marathon on BBC America ASAP today and she'll be hooked and just as excited come party time :)
