Very artistic and enjoyable to watch creations.
It’s a great way to update tired looking bench tops without spending an arm and leg to replace.
About 8 years ago my kitchen was totally updated and everyone was saying to get stone bench tops (before we knew it affected so many workers lungs from cutting duets etc)
I said no I want laminex and the pattern is similar to white marble, to this day I’m glad I got laminex and it was 1/3 the price of stone!

I work with resin also where a make jewellery. Trouble is I need to wear safety enclosed glasses and breathing protector as well as gloves as it affects my eyes.
It takes the fun out of it! I will upload some pics of jewellery I made later, I just got a visitor.

True. But marketing still has Italian marble as the most popular.

Dnarever…. I’m back …. I have some pics of earrings and necklaces I made from resin, I’ve also made cards too.

And cards
So I’m giving away heaps … not done much this year.

Well….I had a friend come by today so we go out on this glorious sunny day.
She noticed my marble table in middle of kitchen and marvelled at it 
I haven’t had time to make croissants yet, but as we were seated in a lovely sea side cafe I saw these nutty covered croissants in a display plate under cover.
I asked a couple of waitresses if they’ve been to Paris and if these croissants were as good as in Paris.
One never went, the other did and she said no, they weren’t. I said I will give it a try anyway.
Took it home in a box and cut a piece off, tasted bland! My expectations plummeted.
Friend says she’s sure my croissants I make will be better!

It’s a bit like when in Italy in 2001, their coffee was amazing.
Come back to Melbourne and all I seemed to do was search for that coffee …but nothing existed like it.

Now, Melbourne has it down to pat! Barista city!
