Ordering for Halloween? Please order by Monday, October 19 to give it time to arrive by October 31 (shipping within the United States).
Resin art + 3D printing
Hand-poured resin art and 3D-printed frames from one small workshop. Frames and webs are made to order, and every resin skull is one of a kind. New: your name on a two-sided Halloween and Christmas Manor.
Sold empty
Ornament frames ship empty, ready for your resin. Each order comes with a printed card that has the fill steps and a color map. Follow the map or ignore it.
Resin and colors are not included, so you can use the epoxy and colors you already trust.
New for Halloween
A bat crosses a harvest moon. Turn the lights off and the moon and the stars glow.

“Wonderful pendant and super fast shipping! Great seller!”
The MADD Resinist
Resin pieces are poured by hand in 2-part epoxy, and the frames and webs are 3D-printed. Charge a glow piece under bright light or sunlight and it glows after dark.
The small size: 4.3 x 6.3 in, about half the height of the big one. A haunted house with glow eyes on one side, a Christmas house with a snowman on the other. From $14.99 for the ready-made MADD Manor, or $19.99 with your name on the plate. Solid, made to order, no returns.

The same stained-glass idea at about 13 in (336 mm), big enough to hang as wall art. Sold empty. The Bat over the Harvest Moon comes first.
Resin and colors don't come with the frames.
Real photos
Two photos of the same Widow's Glow, the large black widow web, one with the lights on and one with them off. The ring is glow-in-the-dark filament. Charge it under a bright lamp or in the sun, then switch the lights off.
Finished resin art
The photo on each listing is the exact piece you get.
Color-shift, clear, swirl and glow skulls, and each one is the only one of its kind. See them on Etsy
Round tops with glow in the pour, 24 in across. Each table is a one-off.
Pumpkins in five colors, ghosts, grim reapers and a pink skull incense holder.
Real four-leaf clovers sealed in resin. Hearts, rounds, a glow round and earrings.
From file to your door
I draw the frame and its lead lines on the computer. On the Halloween frames the smallest window is 3.5 mm across, so a squeeze-bottle tip fits.
The frame prints in silk filament on my 3D printer.
It ships empty and carefully packed, with the windows open for your resin.
Fill the windows with your own tinted or glow epoxy. It hardens in 24 to 48 hours.
Hand-poured resin can hold a tiny bubble or two. It's resin, not glass.
New pieces go up on Etsy first.
Shop the ResinistOrnament frames
Your frame comes empty. Here's how I fill mine with resin.
2-part epoxy, a panel (acrylic, wood or canvas board), pigment paste or mica, glow powder if you want glow, small mixing cups, a syringe or stir stick, and a heat gun. Wear gloves and keep air moving. Resin, panel and colors don't come with the template.
Brush a thin coat of epoxy on your panel. Press the template flat, weight it, and let it set.
Mix your epoxy exactly as its maker says, then split it into small cups, one cup per color you plan to use.
A toothpick tip of pigment paste per 15 ml gives see-through color. For glow, stir in about 1 part glow powder to 4 parts resin.
Fill each cell level with the top of the lines, so the colors never touch. Thin layers: epoxy warms up as it hardens, and the frame softens near 140 °F.
Pass a heat gun over the surface quickly and keep it moving.
Give it 24 to 48 hours to harden, then charge the glow under a lamp and turn off the lights.
The windows are open front to back. Press the frame onto clear packing tape, sticky side up on a flat board, and rub along every line with a fingernail so resin can't creep under. Fill each window level with the flat part of the frame. A small window takes only a few drops. Once it's hard, peel off the tape.
The resin bonds to the template, so each one is a one-time pour. Your card has a color map on it. Use it or don't.
About the maker
I pour resin and 3D-print my own designs.
The 3D printer in my workshop often runs all night long. On the bench: resin cups, pigment, mica and glow powder waiting to become something. I do a lot of my best work late at night. That's also when the glow pieces look best.
I've sold on Etsy for six years: crystal skulls, and real four-leaf clovers sealed in resin. These days I design my own stained-glass frames and 3D-print them. Then I fill every window by hand with tinted or glow-in-the-dark epoxy. No two pieces come out alike.
Family first. Every piece I sell helps my family and pays for the next build.
