New to Molds

I got a friend of mine to order a bunch of molds from eBay so I can make jewelry and adorn dress and bags and such with them.

I've seen lots of people using cameos and think they are simply the bee's knees, but my question is this:

Does anyone make their own from from a mold?

If so what do you use?

Do you make it all one colour and then paint it?

If so what colour?

I'm sorry for all the questions, but I am so excited to use them!! ^.^

I use mold which I make myself. To make cameos I reckon it's best to use resin because resin lasts, though you can also use polymer clay if your molds are heat resistent.
I pour resin, plaster and press polymer clay in them.

I make my own and I use resin, so everything I make needs a mould. I've even expanded to candle holders and trinket boxes.

Depending on the size of the piece i sometimes pour layers, in fact most of my pieces are layered, but i do paint also.
