I appreciate your input. This actually is a peony. They come in many different looks. This one is a type of Hanakisoi Tree Peony. They have less petals and are more open, with the center showing, like a wild rose. They are also quite large. This one is life sized. I think you’re thinking of the closed peony that is typical of the ones shown in catalogs and magazines. That would be a lot more difficult to achieve with resin and wire. I make those with Polymer clay.

Is she okay if she wears gloves?

Greetings from the US! Thanks for watching! UV resin is very quick to set up. It’ll depend on the thickness of the resin and how opaque it is. For this, I usually hold it under the flashlight about 20-30 seconds each side, and then at least 1 minute under the lamp for the dip. Just a little longer for the resin with the mica powder in it.

Here’s the link. I get a lot of my stuff from Amazon. But I’ve seen the exact same ones in Michael’s and Bobby Lobby. www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B08XQGVL3M?psc=1&ref=ppx_pop_mob_b_asin_title

The nanometers to use to cure UV resin are between 358 and 400. So anything in that realm should be fine. That’s for the flashlight and the lamp. I don’t recall what mine are specifically (threw away the packaging) but I believe it was 400. As far as which one to buy, my first one was $17 and worked great until the buttons got stuck. The second one was $28. So it’s really not about the price. Any of them would work just fine.

@@3dundergroundworkshop403 many thanks for sharing this info and the link to the little caps. I am really looking forward to making my mum something she will cherish. xox

You can get it fairly warm, but unless it’s really cold and super thick, you shouldn’t warm it or cool it. Room temperature should be fine. Never ever stir it. It’ll create a ton of bubbles.

Thank you so much!
