Petri Dish Resin Art is a captivating form of mixed media art that involves encapsulating alcohol ink within layers of resin to create vibrant, abstract patterns. This technique leverages the fluidity of alcohol inks, which interact with the resin to produce intricate, organic designs resembling the natural patterns found in petri dishes used in laboratories.

  To create Petri Dish Resin Art, artists begin by preparing a resin mixture, typically using a high-quality, clear epoxy resin like ArtResin. Once the resin is mixed and poured into molds or onto a surface, alcohol inks are added. These inks are highly pigmented and alcohol-based, allowing them to flow and spread through the resin in unique ways. As the inks disperse, they create colorful ribbons, cells, and other dynamic shapes that are both unpredictable and mesmerizing.

  The process requires a careful balance of timing and technique. Artists often manipulate the ink and resin using tools like heat guns, torches, or even simple items like toothpicks and straws to guide the flow and interaction of the materials. The result is a one-of-a-kind piece that captures the movement and transformation of the ink and resin as they react and cure together. The finished pieces can be used in a variety of applications, from standalone art pieces to functional items like coasters, trays, and jewelry.

泰迪小熊

Came on September 22, 2017. I heard that the White House has not been open to the public since 911, and we can only look far outside the fence when we go, so the White House has become a boring landmark, taking a photo of the tourists who &ldquo;come here&rdquo; to check in. There is a big pine tree on the south side of the White House, and I didn&rsquo;t expect it to be a &ldquo;landmark&rdquo; and a &ldquo;national Christmas tree&rdquo;... Well, it seems that you should pick Christmas to visit.

United States Capitol

_We***42

⌚️ Time: 8:30-16:30, Monday-Saturday Capitol Hall appointment visit is free, but the number of daily visits is limited, it is best to make an appointment in advance, we are 9:30 in the morning, they will give you a white stick on the clothes (see picture 1, the mother&#39;s chest is white, Green is the Library of Congress). There is only one time period that is Mandarin interpretation. I thought it was Chinese. The result was a foreign sister. I was quite surprised. I thought she could speak Chinese. The result was that she said English to us and translated it into Mandarin with translation software! Can&#39;t they find an American Chinese to serve? But what should be the matter, the young lady has a very good attitude, and she took the initiative to take a photo with us! The Capitol is a must-check stop for Washington. The whole building is also very magnificent and distinctive. The pearl-white marble building is a three-story dome towering in the center of the three-story flat-top building. The sculpture at the top of the Capitol is the free woman sleeve god, the Capitol Library. It is also suitable for punching in together, and most museums in Washington are free to the public.

[Cost-effective] 24 hours free opening, although we went to 6 o&#39;clock, but winter ❄️ dark early. But the momentum is still the same. But how do you feel that Taipei&#39;s Zhongzheng Memorial Hall and Lincoln Memorial Hall are so similar! [View] Needless to say, the atmosphere is magnificent! Facing the Washington Monument! At this time, I suddenly remembered that Chairman Mao&#39;s poem &quot;Jiangshan so many beautiful, attracted countless heroes to fold!

The National Art Gallery is located in Washington, DC and is managed by the Smiths Association. The building itself is divided into two buildings, with underground passages that can be connected or across the road from the ground, and a sculpture park is also included. Museum visits are free and are closed on Sundays. Originally, it was a pity to find that the Leonardo&#39;s real artifact was not open. There are more than 40,000 products in the entire pavilion, from the Middle Ages to the modern era, oil paintings, sculptures, prints, sketches and so on. It takes about an hour to visit here, there is a coffee shop inside, you can take a map to see the specific location.
