This time lapse is me mixing the dry components of my casting material & looking all snazzy in my coveralls ? A lot of people ask me about my casting material – I rarely use polyurethane resin. I’m often on the hunt for non-toxic (or less toxic) art making options. I generally cast in Forton…

The color for today is Cerulean Blue! After a long hiatus I’m finally finishing the last 2 Stitches. To those who have reached out to me I will let u know before they go into the gallery. These boys take awhile to make – hopefully they’ll be shipped off in late June! #Stitch #liloandstitch #disney…
