Making blocks from Raysin
Mix the Raysin mixture: Start by mixing the Raysin powder. Pour the powder into a bowl and add water until you have a creamy mixture. Make sure that no powder settles to the bottom and that the mixture is lump-free.
Pour the mixture into the molds: Carefully pour the even mixture into the silicone molds for blocks. To ensure that there are no air bubbles, gently tap or shake the molds on the tabletop.
Demold the blocks: After about one hour curing time, you can carefully remove the blocks from the molds. Allow them to air dry completely. If there is a rough edge, you can smooth it out with a fine sandpaper .
Casting blocks from casting resin
Preparing the work area: Cover the work area with a handicraft mat and put on disposable gloves to avoid skin contact with the resin.
Prepare the resin mixture: In an old plastic cup, mix the resin and hardener in a 1:1 ratio. Stir the mixture with a wooden stick until it is uniform.
Add glitter effects (optional): If you like, add silver- or gold glitter and stir again.
Pour in the resin: Slowly pour the resin into the silicone molds provided. For a special effect, pour clear resin on one side and the glitter resin on the other. If you make a mistake, you can remove the fresh resin with resin remover.
Remove air bubbles: To smooth the surface, run an embossing dryer over the resin. Leave the molds to harden for at least 24 hours.
Assemble the wind light
Combine the blocks: Now it's time to combine the blocks, alternating between Raysin and casting resin, to form a wind light . The contrast between the matt Raysin and the transparent resin creates a fascinating interplay of light and shadow.
Bonding: Use handicraft glue, to bond the blocks firmly together. Press the parts together firmly and allow them to dry completely.
Finishing and presentation
Place the light source: Place a tea light or a small chain of light in your self-made wind light . The light shines through the transparent resin parts and is gently diffused by the raysin, creating a particularly inviting atmosphere.
