![]() ![]() It's suggested that you practice with some small pieces first, to get the hang of the process before moving onto your cherished specimens. The changes are most prominent with wings or iridescence. Even with spraying though, there are several species that have characteristics that change when wet and these usually become permanent. Once the resin spray has thoroughly cured, much of the visual qualities and characteristics of the specimens will remain intact during encasing. As a word of advice, any specimen you work with should be sprayed with a few coats of resin spray before encasing. There are plenty of videos available online. It's important to make yourself informed on the various processes of encasing specimens on acrylic resin, before starting. I allow my specimens to dry for a minimum of a month, before encasing them. ![]() You'll need to rehydrate deceased specimens carefully, pin them the way you'd like them to dry and make sure they are dried very thoroughly before encasing in acrylic resin. I have an extensive entomology collection for teaching that I choose specimens from and students have also donated deceased specimens that they've found. However, they can become costly with purchase minimums and shipping costs. There are several online sites for unmounted, deceased bugs, that work perfectly for classroom specimens. I can’t even draw a stick man let alone be a master of some creature I didn’t know even existed,” I replied with the same confusion and shaking voice.I've enjoyed the challenge in making my own acrylic resin encased specimens. Now I’m all mighty? What in the world is going on. We have kidnapped over fifty people in order to find you and here you are all mighty standing in front of us.”Īll mighty? I have been called a twig all my life. “We have put you here in a sleeping paralysis mode for over 2 months now. “Master?” I said confused and in a shaking voice. A horizontal form of a self-standing lightbox, it provides illumination of the subject from below through a translucent cover and fluorescent lights that emit little heat. We won’t hurt you – master,” another one continued. A light table (or light box) is a viewing device that is used to review photographic film or artwork placed on top of it. “We brought you here because you’re special to us. “There is no need to fear us,” one of the creatures said. I see one of the creatures with one hand up and smoke ascending its hand. I turn around as I’m breathing heavily from the running and the fear that has taken over me. A light beam strikes from behind me on the door. I jump off the table and run to the door as fast as my legs could run. So that is how they were able to reach the table. I look under the table and there are these 4 stools standing there. I look in front of me and I find 4 creatures, that are not taller than fifty centimetres looking, observing my every move in awe like I’m the creature in the room. I study the room which seems like a medical lab with very basic equipment. I remove them, lift myself up and sit on the metallic table they have placed me on. There are wires attached to it with tape. Light is off again and my eyes are back open. My eyes are suddenly shut closed again, but I’m still conscious. How is that happening? Where am I? Who are those creatures? How did I get here? One of the heads on my right places its hand over my face. All I could do at this point is stare at their big eyes while they stare into my soul. Tears start forming puddles inside my eyes. ![]() I can’t, but it doesn’t feel like I’m tied up. The shock consumes me to the point where I’m not able to utter a single word or react in any way. I look into their eyes as they look back at me. Their eyes are huge, coving most of their head, nose-less with a very small mouth. Each head has three tentacles coming out of it. Four pear shaped heads hovering over my face from what it seems trying to anticipate my reaction. The light suddenly goes off and complete silence follows it. What is that light? Why is it that strong? The white light is blinding me even if they’re not open. I try opening my eyes one more time, but it’s as if they’re sealed shut. Or am I lucid dreaming? If I’m lucid dreaming, then I should be able to control my dreams. I don’t understand.Īm I dreaming? But I am obviously awake. It’s as if they are talking, but I cannot pinpoint the language. I find difficulty opening them, but I hear these weird high pitched noises around me. Light suddenly beams into my eyes from over my eyelids as they start twitching and flickering. ![]()
