CAST PARTY

For this project, we were to find something small around the house to make a reusable silicone mold of, and then use this mold to cast parts of resin. I found a little ceramic bear that I've had since I was a child, and chose it for my project so I could carry it with me wherever I went.

FINAL PRODUCT

To finish off my little bear, I added dots for the nose and eyes, and attached a keychain to the bear so I can carry this cute bear wherever I go!
