Lori, your resin pieces are gorgeous! 

thank you very much. gosh no, I don't sand the pieces - they come out perfect and shiny out of the mold. for these I use East Cast and the bubbles are minimal. I use an embossing gun to get rid of bubbles. as you can see in the last photo in the blog, there is a large air bubble. when I embed large pieces like the sun sometimes the air gets trapped. because I have to work upside down in the mold I can't see the bubbles until it's too late. don't give up on resin, just use the right kind. feel free to email me if you have questions about that. 

Beautiful Work!!

Thanks very much, Sherry!

Dog hair resin

Honey Bun beads
