Maker Faire Austin ResinObsession demos What a BLast!
We had an awesome time at Maker Faire in Austin,Texas, which is an event created by Make Magazine to "celebrate arts, crafts, engineering, science projects and the Do-It-Yourself (DIY) mindset." It is like nothing else you have ever seen! I describe it as a "science museum goes to the State Fair"! A wonderful world for "tinkerers", indie upcyclers, and "Keep Austin Weird" crowd.Craft Magazine had my Resin Starter Kits in the Maker Shed where I demonstrated how to mix and pour resin as well as ideas of all the fun stuff that can be created. If you ever have the opportunity to attend the Maker Faire, in San Mateo, CA, in May or Austin, TX, in October you should take advantage of it.
NEWSFLASH
I am so excited to announce a new product that I will be adding to the eBay store within the next few days. It is a product made by Novus that will polish your resin pieces to a beautiful shine without buffing or polishing with a wheel and jeweler's rouge. This is a hand-polish - no machinery required!
There are three products from Novus:
#1: Gently cleans without scratching, leaves a lustrous shine.Novus
#2: Removes fine scratches, haziness and abrasions.Novus
#3: Removes heavy scratches and abrasions. Requires both #1 and #2 polishes for final finishing.
