I bought some casting resin, intending to encase a scorpion I killed in Portugal a couple of years ago.
I've had the resin for nearly a month, and am a bit scared of using it for the first time on the scorpion.
I've decided to try to make a very small casting of something as a practice run.
Has anyone got any ideas of something small, but interesting?

Hmm, any ring I have I tend to wear, but do have a few escudos.

I think I threw out any plastic insects.
I know there's a HUGE live spider behind the mirror - but I quite like him. I think I could find a dead fly....

yep ................ most of ours are not yet out, either.

Two, however, have been or are in full flower


a native wild rose has flowered and is now finished

and a climber called Joseph's Coat is in full flower .................. on the east side of the house, in whatever sun there has been until quite late in the afternoon.
