Silicone Mould Making

Today I have had my first try at making my own silicone moulds.

I bought this kit from amazon. Its a small kit but if it is successful I will buy a bigger one.

I chose 4 Chinese coins which I placed in the bottom of a flat tub.

The mix is 1:1 so one part A and the same amount of part B. You then mix them together for 3 minutes.

Carefully pour the mixture into your pot. Make sure you are on a level surface so your mould will be flat. Then you leave it for 6 hours to set.

I admitt I checked a few times to see how it was going. It seemed to take ages before anything happened, but it did eventually start to set.

6 hours later I have a mould. Next time I will use less mix as I clearly used to much here. I need something a bit thicker than a coin.

I had a bit of a struggle getting it out of the tub, but I have ordered some mould forms that clip together so that should make it easier to get out.

Not perfect, but I have learned things from it. All in all I would call that a success.

Until Next Time

Happy Crafting.

Celticmoon Crafts

I started Celticmoon Crafts quite a few years ago now. As a passionate crafter I wanted to share my ideas with others, so I started to design my own craft sheets. This is one of my favorite design sheets. I love anything Oriental. I produced 20 card making CDroms, covering a range of subjects. This was one of my first CDroms. I love digital crafting. Its much more economical than buying ready printed sheets. If you run put just print another sheets. Of course I have been known to run put of ink before which isn't always good. I made this card using one of my own designs. Anubis is my favorite Egyptian God. He gets a lot of undeserved bad publicity in my opinion. I've done a lot of craft fairs in the past. Sometimes they are very very good and sometimes very very bad. I have been to craft fairs where I have sold loads, and I have been to ...

The Great Pumpkin is on The Way

Like many people I am a great fan of the Peanuts Cartoon Strip, and in particular the ever lovable dog Snoopy. What would the Pesnuts Gang be without him?. Anyone who follows the adventures of the Peanuts Gang will know its almost time for The Great Pumpkin. According to Linus he comes every year delivering toys and gifts to the good boys and girls who sit in the pumpkin patch on Halloween waiting for him to arrive. Of course he eaits every year usually with Snoopy and The Great Pumpkin never arrives, but he never looses faith and every year he is back thete waiting. Halloween is still two months away, but of course we crafters have to get ready for it on lots of time. I am working on things for a craft fair but I am also trying to get things made to go into my etsy shop. You can check out my shop here Celticmoon Crafts Shop These cute little treat bags are going in thos week. They will be £1.50 each and come ...

Health Scare

I have been notably absent over the past couple of weeks. The reason is I have had a health Scare. I returned from the MPC Gala in Edinburgh at the begining of May and developed a niggly pain in my right foot. I thought I had overdone it a bit at the Gala so didn't take much notice. However the pain got worse and eventually I had to go and see my Doctor. She thought I may have a stress fracture and sent me for an X Ray to check. My X Ray showed a lesion on my toe joint that could not be identified. I was immediately referred to an Orthopaedic Oncologist. Then followed the worst two weeks of my life. As a nurse all of the worst case scenario's went through my head. Sometimes a little bit of k owledge is a bad thing. If I slept for 3 hours a night I was lucky. It was just hell. On Friday I finally went for my appointment. I am hugely relieved to say the specialist is certain the lesion is benign. I have to go for an MRI scan but he has no concerns. I do have a fracture which is ...
