Making these little ones took me forever but I really enjoyed every single step during the process!

The process:

1. I drew many different ideas in my sketch book, here you see some of them.

 

2. I picked 8 designs and I sculpted them in super sculpey using my mini tools.

 

3. I made individual silicone molds from them.

 

4. I carefully cast the molds in some beautiful snow-white hard plastic resin that I fell in love with a long time ago.

 

5. I fully sanded and primed the surface of each piece.

6. I painted them with acrylic paint and then I applied many layers of satin varnish for a perfect finish.

7. I glued the safety pins and also drew the little designs that you see on the back with permanent ink.

8. Finally, I put them in a dehydrator for a whole month to make sure they were 100% ready to go!

And now they're ready to be treasured and worn by 8 special pin lovers.

Yay!!

They can be found right now on my Etsy store.

Have a wonderful day!

Elsita :)

Thank you for sharing so generously! I hate to ask more of you, but is it possible for you to tell us what brand of silicone mold, and plastic resin you like to use? I have not yet broached the area of casting and molding, and I really want to, but with supplies I know will work well. Thank you for being so personal in everything you do!

Hi, Elsita--I'm sorry I just had the chance to visit and am too late for the girl in a bird pin. If you ever create more of this pin, please let me know. I would love to purchase one and will enjoy wearing it always!

What a beautiful application of your design skills! I love wearable art!

[nancy]

your work and thoughts are profound, and that takes me by surprise because the beauty of creation hits me first ... then your values, sincerity and search for truth are powerfully revealed.

Those are amazing!! Such detail and hard work went into them! I see that as of today, 3/31 there is only one left so I guess they sold out quickly!!! Congrats!

So much brilliance in such a tiny bit of goodness! Love them!

Elsa...I am away with my family ..but I had to check your blog. I just love LOVE your pins...they are so full of thought and wonderful detail... and I can really see the love in there too! I will check your etsy shop too.
I am so happy you can spend time with your father; I lost mine when I was a teenager. I also live far away from my family (over a big sea) so I understand completely how much it means to be with ones we love who are far away. The time flies so quickly, what a wonderful idea to make a movie. I hope your visit is a good one.

i was looking at 'the reader', thinking: 'oh, i am so gonna say how much i like it.' and then i saw little red ridding hood and i thought: 'oh, and this one too' and so i came to the end and i have to say i love them all! i TOTALLY love them. they are so gorgeous and the colors and the gloss and the backs of the brooches are so cool, i love that kind of details!
woman, i love everything you do. this is going to sound lame, but i am really your huge fan. :)))
