Hello Everyone!
Welcome to Fini Friday!
I've had a steadily busy week this week in the studio and it has been a lot of fun!
I've been playing with resin quite a bit!
I even cracked open my batch of Silicone Mold Putty and played a bit making molds from old keys!
Let me show you a bit of what's been going on!
Here are the molds and the keys that created them on the top or right. These seem good for first attempts, but I think the larger key mold is likely too shallow. I'll probably need to do some carving and cleaning up on the casting. We'll see! 
These are the levels I showed you a little while ago. This little photo is showing you what they look like with beadcaps and wires glued in. This was taken while waiting for the glue to cure. I think they look pretty spiffy! The next step is to paint them with resin, both to secure the beadcaps (why yes! I *do* overengineer things, Thanks!) and also to add a bit of Faerie-ness and sparkle!
This last creation is another in my Pen collection!
Title: A Peculiar Gadget
Ingredients: Steel pen (USA), glass, acrylic, spring steel, lead-free pewter.
I chose the glass bead between the clear-and-gold-flecked bead and the spring because I thought it had the appropriate finish to look like those blued connectors on machines that had absorbed a *little too much* heat! This is very much inspired by Steampunk and along the lines of a generator or energy-generating gadget! Also? The spring in the middle does work and therefore this pen doubles as a fidget-toy! WHEE!!!
If you'd like to see this and more creations not showcased in this blog, in person, I'll be in Saint Paul this Sunday!

This weekend you can find me basking in air-conditioned splendor!
