    Lovely collor and path.
    Is acrylic?

    Nice shapes, specially the brush handle.
    Do you did both?
    I'm quite sure you did, with your gifted hands.

    Thanks, it's a poly resin. And yes I made the brush as well. I started as a brush maker and with the resins started duplicating Butterscotch. I've done hundreds of brushes , wood, acrylic, restos etc.
    One was even featured in an ad for shaving products as it was so unique.

    Awesome job! The W&B is beautiful and the Tower, wow, those red scales really work well with the razor, it's a great looking package!

    Congratulations, always like seeing your work!

    No. That one was an orange tinted one. For some reason it's not set up right . Old resin or bad catalyst. Eventually it'll kick but usually it's just 24 hrs or so.nut any resin will harden without cat.
    This was a sheet done before.

    Could have an effect but my studio is T-shirt warm. I even had it near the furnace. The
    cat creates an exothermic reaction to the point that some of my early attempts ( age 13 repairing surfboards with resin and fiberglass) would start smoking and shatter on their own.

    Looks like I gave you an easy request then
    On a serious note you make some very nice things.
