Hi guys, welcome to my channel. My name is Jesica and I love to craft. My favourite mediums are resin and polymer clay. I love filming my creations and sharing my ideas with you. I hope you enjoy my videos and subscribe. Have a lovely day. :)
I’m sure you have heard of Daniel Cooper. He discovered that a very tiny drop of clear Elmer’s glue will,prevent the glitter from sinking. These are super pretty! First time I have watched you. Thank you!
You need to put tattoos upside down not like on skin, soak the backing paper and slide the tattoo off it, remember when they go on skin they are reversed, when you put them in a mould they are not because you see them from the back
You can pour wax straight into resincrete with a wick to make a full jar candle instead of just tealight candles. As you said in the video you should never put candles into resins as it does melt. you can also seal your resincrete and there is a gloss you can put on it to give it a shine . Alcohol inks are not made for resin crete and they will fade very quickly if you can get an even colour .
if you use river or ocean resin you have a longer worktime but the down fall is it takes longer to cure but it gives you move time to work with it and it has less bubbles
i just found your video, it answered many of the things i wanted to know as i have just started useing the resincrete. love how your moulds came out🙋♀
Great video. You cleaned that mixing thing fantastically we!!. I'm lucky if I wipe those small ones off. I usually let it drain into a Spare.mold. I like to pour resin into a spare mold when I mix too much. Sometimes that turns out interesting. These fruit ja rs are really nice. I have the strawberry. My cat has found out he can knock that over and see what's inside easily. Now its never sitting upright with the lid on. I bet teachers are getting lots of resin apples.
This was my first mold for resin. I used my silicone ice cube trays. I wore this out. I made it similar but on the back I put tiny stickers and charms and little messages. Made them key chains for every cat lover I know. Then I got a paw shaped trinket dish with a lid. That was my favorite. Now I have an embarrassing amount of molds. LOL. LOVED THE VIDEO. Best one for resin.
Do I have to seal it?? I just molded one and I’ve never done any ceramic. I’m familiar with resin but it’s sooo hot right now I didn’t want my resin chess boards and charcuterie boards on the table at sales so I wanted to try this as an alternative.
You can see a hint of the tattoo in the flower mold. It wasn’t very vibrant to start with. I haven’t moved on to the reveal of the other two molds, yet. Maybe with more muted pastel colors mixed in the resin, instead of wispy’s, which I really like. I am only considering trying to make my second career in the art world. I am a pharmacist, so I like mixing, and chemical reactions. And, I adore color! Many people I used to work with would agree that I always had new pens in lots of different colors.
I do love this product but also find that it just doesn't take the color unless you use a lot more than one would think is needed. I have heard that jesmonite color is more highly pigmented, so I ordered some and it will take a couple to 3 weeks to have them delivered through Amazon, so we'll see. I have tried mica powder, alcohol inks, acrylic paint and the brand name to color items, so far the colors are very pale, but I'm hopeful that the set I ordered will do better.
I had terrible luck adding mica powder. The item looks awful. I stirred for quite some time till smooth but there is so little working time with this stuff compared to ResinCrete that I went ahead and poured into my mold. So far, I've made a few things and I'm rather under-whelmed. Doesn't take color all that well and so little working time that I'll probably just used up what I bought and stay with ResinCrete.
@@AzPurpleLady Thanks for the verification, I may switch to that other one BoweenNicole or something like that. It's too bad as Mix2Mold is so affordable
@@warriorempathshealingfromn5625 It is affordable but the drawbacks are just not worth it for me. I tried using it again this afternoon using just liquid colorant no mica powder and the results were darn near as bad as the powder. It doesn't seem to matter how much you stir it just doesn't stay mixed in and, like someone else mentioned, you would have to add TONS of color to get to a color you want. Today's results are in no way saleable. I'll try and do something with them or keep the items as a reminder of what not to do. I'm going to give it one more try by adding acrylic paint this time for coloring and see if I get any better results. I'm really annoyed at myself for buying TWO tubs of this stuff without trying it out first. If adding acrylic paint doesn't work than anything I make with it from now on will just be white and I'll have to paint it which adds to my labor time. I at least want to use up the tub I have opened and maybe I can sell the other tub. I don't have any trouble with the ResinCrete adding any kind of color or other goodies and it has a much longer working time and you unmold it after 30 minutes instead of an hour. I rarely did it that soon but it's nice to know you could.
I have used acrylic paint and it is a little better but still too pale for me. The one time I added the amount to the color I desired, it wasn't curing, I added more powder and that didn't help, so I set it outside in the California heat and it did cure but has a different texture.
