Jim you haven't got me turning with resin yet... but..I have a few thoughts in my head about your globes..🤔..designer epoxy and me might be mixing up.. And as always you are the master of resin turning..I can't wait to see the lamp.

Oooooooo! The way the planets glow in the black when lit from inside is enchanting. I think that this is one of those pieces that I would light from within in the evening and I would keep it on a rotating stand because it is just that visually interesting. Yes you should do more with this concept.👍

What I like best about this piece is the distinct difference between the types of colors you have used. The pearl colors are clearly different from the hypershift which are different from the non-pearl, non-hypershift colors. I am actually enjoying the the less obvious mixed colors in the orbs, in particular the blue and green orbs. Designer Epoxy

Oh, oh, oh my gosh!!! This is beyond cool!! We got Van Gogh and Klimt circles. You just keep giving me a new favorite Jim. I have an idea. Would you consider using the globe cast to make paper weights and or balls for display in a container of some kind. I see a wire basket with colorful hypershift balls in it. It would use leftover product AND be something you could sell for a reasonable amount of money for us poor people out here. I would purchase and be tickled pink to have something that you created!!! I am so looking forward to the lamp next week. Btw, your vids are not too long for me!

Regarding the pits caused by the air bubbles in the planets... that's actually pretty realistic! Most space bodies have craters on them! Also, space pieces have always been one of my favorite types of pieces, and this one did not disappoint. The hypershift was definitely the right choice for this piece! I also like how you can subtly see some of the smaller planets that didn't quite make it through during the shaping. Good luck on getting the UV resin to work as a top coat.
