#epoxyfail #resinfail #floralpreservationfail This was a lesson learned the hard way. I started a set of bookends as a memorial piece for a client at 8 months pregnant. I had a couple hang ups during the process and ultimately I did not complete them before having to take some time off for birth and recovery. I went to finish up these bookends and realized I had majorly Fd up letting them sit for so long. when I built and poured this piece, there was a bit of petal sticking out higher than my mold. this in itself is not an issue, you just sand those petals flush. what I did not account for, is the exposed petal edges taking on moisture over time and drawing that moisture down into the flower. 🤦‍♀️🤦‍♀️🤦‍♀️ I am currently going in with 40 grit sandpaper to hog off a massive amount of resin and see if I can salvage these bookends. a bandsaw could be a good option here as well to save time sanding, but mine is too short. #floralpreservation #floralart #epoxyresin #flowersinresin #bouquetpreservation #memorialflowers #tipsandtricks #resintips #epoxytips #resintok #fyp #fypシ #flowertok
