You do NOT suck at this shit!! Stop telling yourself that!! 😂 🤣 😂 🤣 I don’t think your elephant planter looks that bad at all… and maybe you could paint the baby in solid black or grey, just so he stands out better?? Also… when you’re sealing your eco resin (whether it’s mix-to-mold, or any other brand)… you need to leave it, at least, 24 hrs to cure properly. It is a water based product, and it takes at least a day for all the water to evaporate… sealing it too early traps the water inside. I can’t wait to see you give it another go Darl… I’ll be waiting and watching!! Love your work… don’t be so hard on yourself!! Love from Nat. (Brisbane, Australia) ♥️♥️🇦🇺
