How to create texture in your resin using filler and potpourri

For the texture in the background, I used multipurpose filler and used my fingers to ‘stipple’ the effect. The trees were also constructed from the multipurpose filler. The background was painted before applying the resin. As for the foliage, potpourri was used to create the extra texture and depth.

Materials used in this project:

• MDF panel at 1220 x 610mm (9mm thick) an 18mm brace is applied to the back, to strengthen and create the illusion of the board floating off the wall.
