Hi Jan- I usually have all of the information on my blog and usually I mention it in the videos too. I want to do a tree and a snowman too, but I haven't seen any of the larger silicone molds for those, I'll have to look online. The resin I used was Easy Cast. I purchased it at the craft store, but it's also available online through Amazon. I did not have a colorant. Instead, I used a bronze acrylic paint and added it to the resin until it was the color I wanted. Hope that helps!
