Last weekend, I finally got started with what I've talked about for some time: experimenting with epoxy resin. The goal is to mimic a sabiji nuri effect by mixing particels into the resin, which Ian suggested to me some time ago.
Here's what I did: taking 100gr of epoxy resin and 30gr of hardener, which is the required ratio, I added 3gr of a brown dye (not just any kind, but one for resin coloring). From there, I added more and more ordinary wheat flour into the brew and put some of it on strips of paperboard to see how the different mixtures compared to each other.
The amounts of flour were 10, 15, 20, 25, 30, 35, 40, 50 and 60gr.
Here's the results:
Now, good folks, I'd like to ask your opinion: which one of these looks the most like the desired sabiji nuri to you? I'm aware that the color might be a little to much chestnut-like, so my main concern is the surface structure.
Having a tendency already, but I'll keep it to myself for now in order to see what you think without being biassed
Thanks in advance!

I think I'm gonna give that another shot, while also researching that sintered iron powder.
