Trying to make plastic moulds

I have 4 children. The boys, 8 - 10 - 12, are getting a bit too old to enjoy being creative with their mother. They are more concerned with games and playing legos and stuff like that. However, they do love to paint and also to be allowed to run amok in all my crafts thing.
Now the boys wanted to make masks, and of course my little girl, 3 years old, wanted to do the same. And if I have to keep buying masks for them to paint, then I would be broke before the end of the week. They are surprisingly expensive. So I bought two masks and then I use a liquid plastic stuff to try and make a mould. I don't really know if it worked yet as I have to add a lot of layers.
I am a bit pessimistic at the moment, as I think that the plastic liquid has really stuck to the base. Hopefully it will work, but I will keep adding more layers.

Here is what it looks like today.

Grey, gold and blue necklace

I am loving this Kumihimo braiding, although it does take bit of time. Especially as I have to redo the braid ever so often in order to fix mistakes.
But here are a couple of pictures of my last project:

Here you can see the beading plate. I was extremely glad when I got the bobbins, the little plastic circles that helped med avoid tangles. I had so tangles at the start that it wasn't even funny!

 Here is the finished product. The grey thread is velvet and then there is a gold colored wire braided in.

I don't know if you see it here, but is very nice up close :-)

Necklace in pink

Finished a couple of necklaces. One I had finished before, but I wanted a new picture, and one, the pink, is new.

Pink delight

I had these beads that I felt were a bit pale on their own. So I added some wires, and now I am very happy with the result!

Learning a new technique

I have spent a lot of time this week learning to do kumihimo patterns. I hope the spelling is the same in English as it is in Norwegian.
It is lots of fun, but also a bit frustrating as even the smallest of mistakes can mess up a braid and at least at the moment I can not see the mistake until after I have finished the braid.
I have ordered a couple of bobbins I think they are called that help keep the threads in check. I have found that this is an absolute must! At least with the thinner thread and the wires. So here are a couple of examples of what I have made so far. A bit rough still, but fun!

This is a fairly thick thread. It is easy to work with, but the result is a bit massive. 

 I don't know if it is possible to see, but there is actually a metal wire braided in with the black thread. Fun, but the wire seemed to have a life of its own.

 This is the one I was most pleased with. This is all metal wires, purple and grey. The colours look wonderful with each other and the overall look was very nice.
I have decided to make this into a necklace and I have added a pendant in similar colors.

Different shapes necklace

I played around with different coloured beads and then I hit upon this combination:

It is perhaps a bit difficult to see, but there are both round and square beads in addition to the heart pendant.

This is then the end result. I thought the colours worked well with each other, but it can be a bit difficult to see in a picture perhaps.

A little bird whispered in my ear.....

I had a couple of small metal birds in different shapes. So I thought I would make a couple of earrings with these birds and a couple of blue beads.

This is the result. I thought they were cute. Two different pairs.
