Hello everyone. It's Mona here at Craft Klatch.
Today, we're making Shark art. This is going to be by far my largest resin project yet.
It's just in time for Shark Week. We're right in the middle of it. Now originally
I tried to make the shark out of plywood and
my plywood had a little bit too much of a curl to it, so I panicked
And hurried and redid it and Greg cut out another shark for me, and this time we used medium density fiberboard,
and you get a flatter surface and a flatter piece of
material to work with which is much better for the resin so it doesn't like pool in the center or anything like that.
Here's the other one and it looks fine, and I was really excited about it
I thought it was looking pretty good, and then if you can see
the Curl
It's a little hard to see when I'm holding it up
But you can see the curl
And if I put resin on that it all would have just pooled right in the middle, and it wouldn't have worked very well
We're not going let this one go to waste. We're going to find another use for this one to finish her off
music
I have taken a plain glass bead that was clear
and I painted it on the back with
multi-surface paint
And I put it in the oven and let it cook on there and now I just glued it right on there If you have
a black bead like that you can - or gem -  you can
Definitely use that but I didn't have one so all I did was I painted a couple of them right on the back
Okay, you guys it is the next day here is the shark
I'll show you pictures with him outside too, but it is nice and glossy
It's got the blue tint like they kind of always have when they are down in the water
But the gray still shines through and the white did
But the white looks like a little bit of a light blue the eye is nice and attached
And I think it gives a nice look of a shark eye
So be sure to let me know what you think of this in the comments below and stay tuned for some other pictures
And now we have this awesome shark you guys just in time for Shark Week. So here's the shark
all finished. You can get an idea of the size, and it's nice and shiny. This is great to have on display
You can certainly put it on your mantel for shark week
or you can have out in the garden or
wherever you want to have it. Be sure to let me know what you think of it in the comments below and
