Red currant is made of epoxy resin

Well, friends, it's time to share my secret of how I make realistic redcurrants.

To make a twig, you need:

  • epoxy resin
  • polymer clay
  • cold porcelain
  • wire
  • oil and acrylic paints
  • glue
  • disposable containers for mixing components.
    To begin, see a living twig of redcurrant, look at it properly to see its main features and size proportions:

I mix resin:

Use a wooden stick to make resin drops:

Make bones:

This is how you can learn if the drops are dry — use a test drop for that.

5 hours gone. Put the stones on the resin drops:

Take a drop from the surface and shape it:

Roll and wait 2 more hours to see the drop is dry:

Make the leaves:

Insert a wire:

It's a little more difficult when drops are completely dry:

Leave the bead for final drying:

I use Naples Yellow to draw veins on the berries and test it on my nail:

I use stained glass paint to paint the berries and leave them transparent:

Remove excess paint:

Leave to dry for 2 hours:

Meanwhile, make the twig out of cold porcelain, paint it soft green and knead:

Make stems:

Start assembling:

Curve the twig:

Make the leaf a shape:

Here I used oil paint.

All is done!

I wish you success!
