PHOTO CABS

Although our flat-bottomed molds are better suited for making photo jewelry, you can also make shiny half-sphere resin photo domes using our Silicone Cabochons Mold. 

On this one we added names to the back printed on Clear Photo Film:

You can also layer components.  Here we combined our photo with wire and shells, layered over Resin Color Film (the blue part), and scrapbook paper.

And in this one I cut out our kitty cat's head and layered that with her name and type printed on Clear Photo Film.  Then, backed it with a layer of white resin made with our White Resin Colorant.
