Resin casting goodness!

Lately I've been learning the art of resin casting and silicone mold making from my clay sculpts. I'm getting better at it but still far from being horribly efficient at it- either way, I'm making a large portion of my stock for upcoming expos this way. Take a look at what ive come up with thus far; 
Tentacle pendants

Finger keychains, carry a piece of your loved one anywhere!

TARDIS pendants!!

And other assorted fun stuff, including a variety of bird skulls and Star Trek science badges!

The making of the zodiac collection

The zodiac collection is coming together beautifully! 
This collection has some intense headdresses- here is the making of a few of them!
First you need to build a base, that's what's going on above. 

Then the horns were formed up, attached and smoothed out. 
Paint, sealer, flowers and leaves later and this one is all done. 
That's the Capricorn headdress! Hooray for flowery goats. 

This is the pieces, for this I had to make the fish. The fish was named Stu, short for stupid koi fish- something spoke many times during construction. 
This is the progression of Stu from looking like a KFC chicken wing to a halfway decent fish: 
And this is Stu all finished and on the headpiece: 
And Stu with his finished flowers:
