Resin casting is used by hobbyists as well as spare time crafters. The resin is united with a curing liquid which is poured into a mold. When this curing agent touches the resin there is a chemical result which makes the mixture heat up and then very quickly becomes hard. Because of the mold this shape will be kept for years to come. It will need to be left for awhile in the mold before being removed and then it can be painted, sanded or even joined with other mold workings.
In order to dry the flowers before setting it in resin one will need to cut the leaves and excess stem off. In a small air tight container fill about an inch with a silica powder, it has the appearance of salt and is sometimes referred to as silica gel. Put the flower in the container and close the lid. Leave for about five days so that all the moisture can be removed. Alternatively one can place the flower in the container upside down and completely cover it, putting it inside a microwave for about 5 minutes.
Amber which is fossilized tree resin is also used in making jewelery as well as an ingredient in perfumes and a healing agent. It has a beautiful color and keeps its natural beauty. Many people preserve special keep sakes in this resin as it will last a life time and will never lose its color.
Another piece of jewelery that can be given to someone special is a stained glass picture, teardrop multi colored necklace and even brooches with butterflies or a personal memento inserted. They can be two toned or multi colored. Some people are even starting to preserve their favorite candy be it chocolate, jelly babies, liquorice or love hearts.
These resins come in a large variety of colors ranging from the normal orange yellow brown. It can also however be lemon yellow as well as white and black. The most sought after colors are the red, green and blue but are very difficult to find. People are willing to pay large amounts when these precious colors are found.

This will ensure that the natural beauty will be seen and the colors will never fade. Encased in the resin one can also leave a name and date or if preferred a special message for that special someone.
