Looks fantastic! Please do remember that volume cannot be measured on a scale. Only weight is measured that way. It just happened to work okay for you on this project but others using a different resin may not be so lucky.
Jules, it turned out beautifully! It looks very magical. Thank you for the shout out. I know what you mean about the magnets being tricky. I have actually found a much simpler way which I will be doing a video for soon. A tip for your next one is that you can’t draw your plan onto baking paper and slide it between the mould and the support. That way you can see exactly where to pour your resin up to for each layer. Xxx
This is exactly what I've been looking for. I've taken all your tips in board. Have just been away and collected shells and sand. I wanted the continuity of depth that you've given. It's my 1st attempt so hopefully I can get something resembling this. Only issue is I don't have a hot gun. Any suggestions. Also the sand you mixed in in the UK will PVA glue work? Similar to Hodge Podge. Your work is outstanding 🥰
What a lovely piece. I do pyramids too, and in case you don’t know about this, I’ll share my tricks.. Instead of a bottle, I use one of my silicon mixing cups, weighted down with stones, it just pulls out easily. I also just use clear resin instead of glue in my sand, then I don’t have to worry about it sticking to the mold,
For sure. Pyramids are definitely frustrating because they take a lot of time (and money) The reveal is worth it in the end though. They are so beautiful.
Possibly. I’ve not tried it. It always comes out in the end. Just takes about 10 minutes. I’ve since found a new silicone method. Thanks for watching 🌸
Stunning. I didn't expect such clarity and no trace of layers. Tutorials I've seen had different colour layers. Seeing all in one colour is so realistic and beautiful.. You did a great job and the tip to save resin with the void for the lights is invaluable. Thank you for sharing.
Dear Jules, love your work. I made a pyramid after watching Louise Singleton. I used a silicone measuring cup for the lights. It was great came right out
Is absolutely beautiful I just started getting into acrylic paints and things, but I absolutely love this and I will keep watching you as I am a 1000% new subscriber and plan on making this for my husband for Christmas so I have 6 months and I'm sure I will be able to do it I sure hope so anyway thank you so very much absolutely stunning!!!
One of the best video tutorials I've seen. Very calm.. organized and simple. First time viewer and I agree with the rest.. your voice is very calming. Awesome piece 💜
This is absolutely stunning!!!! My 11 year old son is obsessed with the ocean. He would love something like this in his room. Ive been playing around with resin for about a year now..coasters, trays, Keychains and moved on to resin painting. I think this is my next project! Already ordered the mold lol this is breath taking!!!!
This is absolutely phenomenal! This piece is so amazing! Ive just subscribed to your channel and have been watching your videos and you're GREAT! I've been very interested in starting my own small buisness creating lots of different things alot of DIYs. And I have just fell in love with all the epoxy and resin art its absolutely INCREDIBLE and your work is fantastic. I havent quite dabbled with the epoxy and resin stuff yet because I'm still learning how to mold clay and create shadowboxdes, other decor and displays. Ive been on the learning path for several months now and I cant wait to start dabbling with epoxy and resin. Thank you for posting such great content ill definitely be turning to your videos for "How Too"!!! God bless
I absolutely love your work and this is just stunning!!! I was wondering if you have any tips for avoiding those bubbles between the layers. I noticed them near the small jellyfish but it honestly does not take away from it's beauty 😍 any tips are appreciated!
looks awesome very creative and well done only thing i would change is run a bead of silicone to hold sand back remove before pouring final layer. or second option ( I have never tried this) but maybe just mix sand with resin instead of glue.
awesome! Can you explain why you used glue with the sand instead of epoxy? I plan on making a pyramid out of many different layers of sand I've collected from around the world and I only have one shot at making it since I have limited amounts of sand. I'm planning on using resin for each layer. Curious why you used glue here. I'm creating my own pyramid mold out of polypropylene and will line the inside of the pyramid with petroleum jelly before I pour to prevent sicking. (never tried this before) Any insight would be helpful. Thanks!
Because resin changes the look of sand and glue keeps it looking completely natural and the same color and texture. Try both and you will see what I mean. Good luck and thanks for watching 🌸
I've been meaning to make a pyramid with lights. Love how yours turned out. I have done several sea turtle ocean pyramids and wanted to do some variation. Might I make a suggestion with regard to the sand you added. Instead if using glue, use resin. It works great and you will not have to babysit the creeping sand etc.
max powers well done you! You made a start and that’s what is important. Find a good quality resin and get to know it. Good luck on your journey. Thanks for watching 🌸
Not many people have worked this out but you have just said unlike any other silicone moulds the pyramid mould can make many different sizes all from one size mould because of its unique shape and I wonder how many people have worked that out and makes any sense because every silicone mould not one of them can produce a different size from the same thing lol it takes a clever person to work that out and see what I mean and where I am coming from one size fits all lol
@@JulesMadisonArtByDesign your welcome i know a clever person when I see one i made my first pyramid last four of them one for every occasion but I want to get my pyramid mould and stand from out of my store but I can't because of this global lockdown rules and am not aloud to leave the house for anything else other than just food medicine etc. I i don't really want to have to buy another pyramid mould and stand from Amazon when I already have one in a store because they are quite expensive to buy and also would have to wait a whole month again for it to arrive from China or Hong Kong again
@@JulesMadisonArtByDesign sorry i messed up my message a bit on this i I ment too say i made four pyramids last year and was my very first time I ever used a pyramid mould and really loved it
next time, I would start the next layers whilst the previous layer was still hardening. That way, it wont look like there are separate layers when you are finished!
Very pretty . I m sure it won’t be going for $50:00 . I would keep it before I would let it go so cheap . You work is so beautiful . Thank you for sharing .👍
This is absolutely fantastic.. just found you... so I have a question...I watched this 3 times and still don't see when or where you put the silver foil in side...how far did you put it and also why did you do this? I'm confused... :)
I just watched it back and I'm pretty sure you are taking about the duct tape around the 37 minute mark. I really cannot remember why I did it. It is not a necessary step. Welcome and thanks for watching 🌸
@@JulesMadisonArtByDesign Kami will I'll try to watch it again. But I'm feeling better that you say it's not really unnecessary step. Great job again! Then to check out the rest of your videos.
Amazing and stunning.🎆 Watched every second of your video. You are a great and patient teacher. Myy question is where do you get the battery operated lighting from? if it was listed I apologize but I look through two to three pages and I didn't see it. I would appreciate if you have time to please share the link? Kkeep up your great works....this is very inspiring. 🎆🌻🦋🐦☘️💖
My lighting isn't battery operated - it is electric. I'll add it to my list of recommended supplies on Amazon. www.amazon.com/ideas/amzn1.account.AE2VAQ56G46PV7I6WT6UBB4YVKQQ/33QYJ1ZRB83FW
Also... To get the correct amount of resin to start at the top of your mould, pour sand in and use this as a guide for measuring. Oh! the silcone on the bottom is perfect. Try not using hot glue to place it but replace it with masking tape to hold it down and vertical.
It's beautiful but I'm just curious what caused a perfect line of bubbles around the middle of the pyramid? Not saying is bad just wondering why that happened. 💕
I just zoomed through it quickly because I don’t have it - it’s sold. At 25:11 I add glitter and mica flakes to that level. So they are not bubbles. Thank you so much for watching 🌸
Perfect job young lady :) I do heaps of resin work on my wood lathe. I strongly suggest mixing both base and hardener in one container then pour all into a second container.. why? if you have base remaining un-mixed in container 1 it has a chance of not mixing thus sticky cure. It is a definite mix in the second container.
I’ve never had a sticky cure yet luckily. Sometimes I transfer to a second container depending on the amount of resin. It’s an interesting science for sure.
Thanks so much for this great demonstration video your piece turned out beautifully! Only one question though. Right after you removed the bottle you also removed what looked like tinfoil tape. I don’t remember seeing that being put in initially and I’m just sort of confused as to what it was used for.
Maggie M Thanks. The reason I don’t mix sand and resin is simply personal preference. I think it makes the sand look unnatural and dull. It changes the color. It’s just my way. Other artists do it their way.
