I make resin stuff (resin is a form of plastic). mostly jewelry but my idea is to start branching out and I'd like to make resin vases, platters, candle holders, etc...

Well the idea is that various people who wish to support artistic entrepreneurs can do so, and it's more a system of paying it forward. When your business picks up, then you support another start-up, and so on, and so forth.

Sadly jewelry is such an oversaturated market i rarely make sales on it, but there is NO market right now with handmade resin vases or platters or candle holders. I hit up the goodwill today and got some pieces i could use to mold with, but the silicone is so expensive, i would need about 100 bucks to just get started. Ugh.

What is the process to make it like? And yes sadly that is with most handmade stuff online =\. My friend does well making cloth diapers and cloth menstrual pads though.

Well to make the mold i'd need to build a little tube to fill the silicone around the vase, i found a great youtube tutorial on how to make silicone molds. Once the mold is made, then i just pour resin into the mold, let it harden for a couple days and demold. After that just some light sanding and its done.
I did the training but haven't gotten any calls yet for work. It's a temp agency remember?
So I have taken it upon myself to continue looking for other work.
I think I have found something I like. It's in the childcare industry. Just passed my background check. Guess my cartel down in Mexico hasn't been found out yet...JK.
Good money, same hours as TG, weekends and holidays off. BOMB!!!!
