Thank you so much ❤️

Thank you so much dear Patricia 💜💚🤍

Haha 😂 no I am not. I just love Testing & Trust me! I also do have fails 🫣💜

Thank you so much dear Kim 💜💚🫶💚💜

Thank you so much dear Kathy. Please make sure you use a thicker resin for the 3D Flowers. For the background a medium viscosity resin is the best. Good Luck🍀

Thanks for the advice, dear Petra ❤

You are very welcome dear Michelle 💜💚🤍

Thank you so much, dear Julie. I just love the crackle effect in general and I think it's a nice alternative to just one block background color.❤️

Thank you so much 🌸

Thank you so much dear Laura 💜🫶💜

Thank you so much 💜🫶💜

I did these some months ago, I just love these fine colored crackles. Almost looks like a wallpaper ❤️❤️❤️❤️

Of course you need to pour the flower first, let it cure and then as a backlayer the crackle effect. For the crackle effect it is best to use medium viscosity resin❤️

Thank you so much dear Susan 💜 I love playing with the backlayers because I think it's sometimes boring only pouring glitter or black 🫣 ... yes it is always a risk but if I don't try, I don't know 🤷🏼‍♀️💜

Thank you so much 💜🤍💚

You mean for the crackle effect? 💜

Thank you so much my dear Sudha 💜🫶💜

You are very welcome dear Marlies 💜🤍💚

What did you do? Thank you so much for your beautiful comment 💜💚🤍

@@petragerbracht my pearlescent basically disappeared. Gone. Poof. Lol. Next time I know to add some Bloom into the pearlescent. Going to try it again after seeing yours. After a tumbler I’m working on. Also just got my sublimation printer in, so plan on doing some of my own graphics on them. Lots of new toys here to use. 🥰

Yeah I wished I had more space being more creative. I only have a little room 😅

@@petragerbracht I tore apart my office. Moved bookcases I can walk between with all the supplies in them. Moved a huge bench and put the old oak printer stand on the bench. Now it holds the tumbler curing machine and turner. Heat sublimation press fit beside the old stand. Got a new printer stand to hold all 3 printers and will hold either the Cricut or Silhouette. Haven’t decided which one yet. Then just need to take the old computer tower out of the rolltop desk and hook the new one up in its place. The room is 6x8 foot. Small really. But I’ve crammed lots into it. I’ve 3foot between the rolltop desk and a small desk I use for resin and the tumbler turner. Took me a week to move everything. I still have to paint it. Lots of work. Also hooked up a stereo and a satellite receiver.

@LostSiren13 haha ... this what's happening when a interest becomes a hobby, a hobby becomes a passion and a passion becomes an addiction 😂 ... tell me about it. My boyfriend gets crazy sometimes 🫣💜

Thank you so much 💜💚🤍

Merci 💜🫶💚🫶🤍🫶💜

Ganz vielen Dank für diesen wunderschönen Kommentar. Ich freue mich, wenn Sie diesen Effekt auch einmal ausprobieren💜

@@petragerbracht Ich habe etwas Resin zum Aufwärmen, damit ich es später am Morgen versuchen kann. Ich kann es kaum erwarten zu sehen, wie es herauskommt!

It may be because due to the thin layer the crackles are very delicate 💜💚🤍

Thank you so much dear Funo 💜🫶💜

Thank you so much 💜🫶💜

Thank you so much dear Jules 💜🫶💜

I wished I could see your pours and thanks for the compliment 💜🤍💚

Van harte bedankt lieve Eva 🌸🫶🌸

I used the Mastercast Resin for the flowers and could pour after approx. 6 h on top. The Mastercast hardens faster in summer time 🌸🫶🌸

This technique is not so difficult. Just use some transparent colored resin (I mainly use resin inks) and pour a pearl mica powder on top and just let the resin do its magic. Do not use the headgun because you may destroy the pattern 💜

You mean the white? It's a Pearl White Pigment Powder 💜💚🤍

You can source Octopus Resin Inks via Laura's Art Corner in the US. They are very similar to Etter Resin Inks. However alcohol inks work too.

What products did you use and how did you pour? ❤️

Hi Petra! Thanks for getting back to me so fast. I used Let’s Resin Epoxy Resin, Let’s Resin alcohol inks, and Let’s Resin Seashell mica powder. Instead of pouring side to side, I did a puddle pour in the middle (after adding the alcohol inks mixed with resin to a different cup layering the colors). Then I poured the mica in the center of the alcohol ink puddle pour. Should the resin, etc., be a certain temperature, and should the bloom be completely set before pouring the alcohol inks and mica on top? I hope I am explaining myself correctly.

@mbdwilson you need to let your bloom pour cure first. Then you can use medium viscosity resin. Mix your alcohol inks pour and then on top the mica. I made more videos with this effect ❤️

I will look at your other videos as well. Do you have any brand recommendations for the medium viscosity resin? @@petragerbracht

@mbdwilson Ultracast Resin for instance ❤️

Yes this is correct ♥️

Resin Inks from Etter / Octopus are in fact alcohol inks but higher pigmented and are designed especially for resin art. ♥️

It's because the first colors are transparent 💜🤍💚

Thank you so much ❤️
