Like Baltic amber, epoxy resin (liquid resin that solidifies) can preserve everything we love for years and years to come. Maybe even for generations. Using this simple expoy resin we can keep the flower from our first date without squeezing it between the book and maybe use it as a paperweight.

Marzia Ali has continued to experiment with epoxy resin since 2016 as a hobbyist and is currently focusing on preserving living flowers. “After three months of experimenting during lockdown, I’ve finally added live flower preservation to my catalog.

Because the more porous the wood, the more cavities it has, the more textured it is, the better the workmanship,” says Prashanth. “Epoxy revives wood,” he adds.

Based on the requests, I started donating my furniture pieces an Italian look which is a mix of granite and resin since granite is solid on its own, it makes epoxy all the more sublime.
