Epoxy Toxy.

So, I'm making magnets and pins today, with Epoxy Resin coatings. To work with, it is messy, toxic, and makes me uneasy, but the result is so fan flippin tastic that I can't stay away. My previous experience was rather a blast, as, I used plastic containers to mix the epoxy in. Those proceeded to melt and smoke, and I was running round in a blind panic, thinking it was going to burst into chemical flames and me without my WHIMIS training. In the end, I just let it smoke on my driveway, which resulted in a giantic ball of epoxy in a metal tin. I have a good chuckle about this every once and awhile.
But today's adventures were far more boring, I used the proper containers, and did about 20 items. Hopefully they'll turn out.
My new stuff will be out and about on Saturday (at the downtown farmer's market), plus I have a catalogue coming out soon!

C-ya.
