Here is a project that is both fun and slightly creepy! Mark Montano captured bugs in resin! They are actually plastic toy bugs, bug Mark used DecoArt’s Metallic Lustres to them and make them look like rare beetles, which I think is pretty neat. Mark made these to display in his curiosity cabinet, but they would also make great paper weights, yes?
