There have been i few posts about how people preserve there snakes shed skin. I've mentioned before how i set some of Cherry's skin in resin and create jewelery.
I've finally managed to upload some pictures to show you.
The ring is the only finished item i have, and sadly i have dropped it since making it so there is now a very annoying very visible crack running straight through it.
The mold was made using Plasticine, and the resin poured in over 3 layers. Then a good few nights sanding it down.
I'm now working on a pendant of her head. This one isn't going quite as well, because there where a couple of bubbles that became trapped under the shed.
Its about halfway through sanding so still looking a little rough.

just so you get an idea of its size.
(hope the photos aren't too big) |

Sta~ple - Yeah i have thought about starting to sell them, telling people that if they post me the skin i will make the ring. But it was just chance that this one fit me :P not sure how easy it would be to do order wise. That and its stupidly time consuming. I like the idea though.
HannahB - yep thats me haha. i have also done leaves, feathers, moths, wasps, Beatles and little layers of paper cut into tinny tinny pictures .... like trains .... and monsters haha.
hiper2009 - Good idea, next time i make one i will take step buy step photos for people, and post up a link where my can buy the stuff. |

I bought mine from a company called Trylon. the type i use is called shallowcast resin, but you have to buy the catalyst as well or the resin will not set.
Here is a link to the website and the page with the prices and such on.
