Following on from the tarte aux cerises idea (big thank you to Sandy) the scattering diamonds arrived. Depicted here on my slightly chaotic bedroom work surface because I’m not quite ready for the breakfast table yet.
These items are very reflective in air, but I hope the optical qualities will be different in resin. Ideally they should be quite transparent, as their function is simply to occupy space and make resin curing times shorter.
Incidentally this is a product marketed for the wedding industry. Apparently some people think it’s a neat idea to scatter them like diamonds (hence the name) on tables at the wedding banquet. I had no idea.
Kids, speaking as one who has been happily married for longer than many of you have been alive, I say no amount of money and show expended on a wedding will help to make a good marriage. Be poor and in love, but don’t deliberately squander money you could be saving up for things that really matter. If you want to do cosplay, get an Instagram account and some glitter and have fun for much less money, at a time that suits you. Look, if Tom Lenk can make a career out of being Tilda Swinton the sky’s the limit.
