As an artist, I have all sorts of interesting objects that would look great in the molds: dice, metal ball berings, crushed glass, keys, beads of all sizes and colors, fake hair of different colors, watch pieces, doll limbs, fish hooks, fish lures, tinsel, fake teeth, fake eyeballs, and so much more.

@@shilaguyette4777 I mainly use resin in my assemblage sculptures to hold down the main piece, like glue. Don't give up; I've had mistakes when I didn't properly measure the 2-part resin out. Keep trying but make sure you mix it well. All the famous artists in the world and in the past weren't experts at first but they kept on keeping on. Best of everything to you.

Hmm, I think the resin would remove the matte effect that makes sea glass, sea glass if that makes sense? You could put some broken glass through a rock tumbler to make faux sea glass and try it though.

The first time I ever saw marbles in resin was in an old vintage craftbook from the 60's or 70's. He used a latex kitchen glove and suspended marbles floating throughout. Somehow he did shape the fingers and such as if the glove was fixing to pick up something. It was then used as a tabletop piece. Simply amazing! I really liked the two skulls you made as well. Very nice.

I bought a tall clear container to store my rulers in. It was a little taller than I needed, plus it was top-heavy, so I put some blue flat marbles in the bottom and poured an inch or so of resin over them. The added weight keeps the container from tipping over and it looks really nice. 👍

The clear one looks nice unlit, as a standalone sculpture. It's a lot easier to see the individual marbles inside. In the second one, the dark blue disks settled to the top, and some went to the back. This allowed the lighter colored ones to allow more light around the eye sockets. This gives it more contrast and detail, when lit. It makes a better lighted presentation overall.
