Love how that looks! Great switch solution.

Thanks! I’ve been working on this one in my spare time for ages, didn’t think it was going to turn out this cool.

Curious, how thick is the cast part at the center? Did you add anything to the resin to change the translucency?

The resin is maybe 1/4 inch thick. I’m using a standard jewelry mold and just filled it up. I added some iridescent pigment to the resin to make it opaque/shiny, and brushed the mold with rainbow glitter ahead of time so it’s a bit sparkly even when it’s turned off.

Great piece- and a great blog post! I love “it breaks all the time”!
