Welcome to my very own corner of RU-vid where I can make as much mess as I like! I will share a whole variety of creations because I just can’t stick to one art form, there are just too many to explore!
I have been creating since I could hold a pencil, I followed my father everywhere he went when he was building, fixing and creating and so from an early age I was inspired and learning.
I started my career in the graphic design industry but went on to work in a primary school to fit in with my children's lives. They have now grown up and once again I am pursuing the arts but this time I am using my teaching skills to share my passion.
On my channel you will see a whole variety of tutorials and time lapses. The main focus will be epoxy resin but I have never been one to stick to just one thing so don't be surprised to see something completely different popping up!
GREAT experiments, Louise! You know I love your wonderful mushroom lamp, but the coaster, earrings, and other lamps are wonderful! 😍💕😊. I definitely love the leather backing and totally cool steel logo for the coaster! ❤
lol! I’m laughing because I keep having jaw-dropping moments and you are only halfway through. The seashell veneer and then the Bendy ruler! I like adding plaster of Paris with my resin. In addition to the end product, I save a ton of money. Why do you like eco-cast better than plaster of Paris?
Lovely work. The white or black resin does not seem to be available in the UK yet. The link takes me to the ordinary resin. Any idea when it will be available here.
Louise, for those artists into this, it opens up a world of creative possibilities! I still absolutely love that mushroom lamp! Thanks for another great tutorial.
The reason for the variation in advice about epoxy resin lasering is due to the variation in types of chemistry that comprises epoxy resins. Some types are based on epichlorohydrin, which when burned results in highly corrosive hydrogen chloride. That material will corrode your equipment very quickly. Some resins are based on bisphenol A and glycidyl ethers, and products of combustion are much milder and less hazardous. Little Windows resin is of this type. Basically, get an MSDS or SDS (safety data sheet) for the resin you want to use, and check the section labeled Products of Combustion. If hydrogen chloride is listed, don’t use it.
Hear hear. It is shocking how many "resin experts" on the internet don't even know what an SDS is but feel confident in making sweeping statements about what is required to be safe when working with it. If we listened to the general "internet opinion" we would need elbow length chemically resistant gloves, a hundreds of dollars venting system, full front rubber apron, safety glasses, and a n95 mask just to safely open a bottle of resin in the first place.
Wow,nice experimenting of laser engraving on resin piece,Ms Louise😍💜 .And loved the entire process of turning it into a masterpiece,loved that logo idea too much😍😍💜💜
Make sure that you keep your lenses clean - you don't want that building up because it could cause problems. Same with everything, of course, but I recommend that you clean with an alcohol spray solution and a microfibre cloth after lasering resin.
You are so clever, what wonderful idea’s you have in your creative life. Everything has turned out beautifully. Thank you so much Louise for sharing your talent with us x❤️
Lovely outcome. However, I wouldn't use it. Goodness, what's going out the window and what's it's landing on Pets wildlife grass, etc. But I always look forward to watching your posts 🌻🫶🐈
I can't imagine *not* wanting to watch anything you choose to post, Louise, bar none! 😊❤ I LOVE your experiments! 💕 Even your (so-called) "fails" look better than my attempts. 😅 I like the effects of alcohol ink in this white resin! LOVE the Mommy and Baby giraffes! 💕😊❤ REAL failures are when one is afraid to try something new. 😊 Looking forward to more experiments, Louise! 😊😍
If i used giant balloons and filled one with resin and then blew the second one up inside the resin filled one, would i be able to make a think and strong shell without moving it while curing? I'm trying to make a sealed enclosure in a hard to reach unseen space.
Louise, I love them all, even the ones that were supposed to be flowers, I love them. And I love that you put the vinyl decal giraffes on the one. ♥️♥️♥️
An alternative to removing the tackyness from cured UV resin: After two minutes of curing place the piece into a clear bowl of water. Then hit your piece with about 90 seconds - 2 minutes of uv light. Start with a distance of half a foot moving closer during the duration of the above minutes. Once done your tack should be gone. Let me know if this helps 😁
