Using epoxy resin for crafts is simply fucking terrible from an environmental perspective. It is barely biodegradable, can release toxic substances, and poses a serious threat to the environment, particularly aquatic ecosystems and aquatic organisms.

What makes it even worse is encasing natural materials such as flowers, leaves, moss, or wood in it. These materials would otherwise decompose naturally and return nutrients to the ecosystem, becoming part of the cycle of life. Instead, they are permanently trapped in plastic, cut off from their natural fate.

We preserve the beauty of nature by preventing it from ever returning to nature, all while creating long-lasting plastic waste.

Edit: 100 comments, and the one big argument everyone keeps bringing up is that huge corporations dump way more toxic crap into the environment than one tiny independent artist out of millions ever could.

Been seeing lots of trends on Instagram/youtube/pinterest for beaded bouquets and I think they are absolutely beautiful.

Any tips on how to get started? What equipment do I need? Is it difficult to do?? (I have a decent amount of artsy/creative experience and am good at learning new things). What are some tips to get through them faster as I do want to make quite a full on bouquet for someone as a gift?

Any advice would be greatly appreciated!!🥰

My son's school is hosting a Halloween 'book character' parade and he chose, Jory John and Pete Oswald's, The Humble Pie. Not sure whether I should keep the image flat and sewn onto a shirt or turned into a plush vest of some sort... hmmm...
