I've done a bit of acrylic pouring, went to glittering and/or wrapping tumblers, then on to experimenting with resin. Like I've just made 4 coasters at this point, so I'm just sticking my toe in. I'm watching every video of yours I can find for all you tips you put in your videos, how much resin paste or powder, how much mica, etc and techniques. Your videos are like gold to me. Thank you, Julie, for paving the way.
That’s exactly right. Those who don’t want to see the process can easily fast forward and those of us who wants to see every little thing can set and just enjoy your process and company
I really enjoy watching you work from start to finish. I wouldn’t dare fast forward. I don’t want to miss a second of what beautiful things you create.
Don't listen to the people who say you take too long. Your process is YOUR process and however long it takes doesn't matter. They don't have to watch. Don't feel obligated to speed through and be uncomfortable to appease them. Do what you do. I love your videos
Don’t listen to the ppl who complain. With resin you have to move reasonably quickly depending on working time but you get the best effects when you slow down, calm down and take your time. These are awesome too
That's right, if you don't want to watch because it's to long, move on and don't ruin it for everybody else!!!! I enjoy all of your videos and I've learned so much. I think you are amazing!!!!
I am a big fan and I love your videos I bought all the stuff and it’s slowly coming and I am inspired to make some videos like you. I’m usually shy but this is perfect because it’s just hands with gloves so you can’t really show your identity. I love that you talk instead of music. I think mine will have to be with talking because I don’t know how to put background music besides playing music and I don’t want to deal with all of the copyright stuff LOL
When I first started I didn't know I thing thinking that the resin I got would come with some sort instruction etc, but no, no safety instructions just mix for five minutes were my instructions, and that was years ago. So today is a bit different about learning and your making it so easy for people and especially safety with resins we all need that, beautiful 💕 coasters, keep up the cool work,
I am always amazed at how much mica powder you use, I use a tiny tiny bit and it still comes out black, and how fast you stir your resin, mine would be bubble city, shame we can't get Barnes Clariti resin in the UK, seems like good stuff.
My husband and I just started pour painting after watching some of your work. We want to give resin art a try as well after watching you create. Keep up the great content. We learn so much.
I just started doing resin crafts and been watching a lot of videos for inspiration. Yours is always informative, natural, and relaxing to watch. I dont usually watch long videos but I am so watching all of your videos. Thank you!!
Love the birds singing at the end. These 2 coasters are so very pretty 😍 In the sun they look like sprigs of babies breath or fireworks 💥 Thanks for sharing 😊🤗
Like you said, it’s your art, enjoy the process! It’s beyond me why people complain about the length of videos. Fast forward, people! It’s there for your use!
-cheers!!!!!!!- beautiful Julie xxxx you need gold spray paint . montana or rustoleum are the best.. thrt stay on the top.. dont mix into the resin like pigment or mica. just dip a cocktail stick in the paint then trail it through the coaster where you want it
Don’t be sorry for the length of your videos. It’s a video, if people have to pause and come back to, it won’t hit us. I love watching you learn about resin regardless of the length. Everything you do is so beautiful.
I like how you are finding ways to move the glitter to the outside of the piece, instead of the glitter just staying in the center. Purposeful glitter placement can add such great effects
Ok Julie since I found you I have spent more money on supplies 🤣 first I was doing paint pouring with you and now I have to do resin 😲 and people saw me buying resin in Michaels and were asking me questions and I was explaining and then I just gave them your RU-vid channel 😂🤣❤️ I did get a cool chunky bangle bracelet mold at Michaels so I think I'll do that one first to test 😊
Julie, I never fast forward these videos! I learn a ton listening to your thought process, things I may not think of at all! I am hoping to try these very soon...as my budget allows, lol. I'm hoping to give a set of 8, along with a tray to my daughter and my son's girlfriend. I am definitely going to follow your lead and make at least the tray mold myself! Making my own molds will save me quite a good bit...thank you so much!!!
I did some in black and silver mixed I liked them really well. And some black and gold mixed they turned out pretty also. Try mixing and see how that does mixing.
I really love these two!!! My ingredients are supposed to be here on Sunday. Can't wait to try it out on Monday. You're doing a great job. Hope ik can do half as well.
Helpful hints: If you wet your skin with cold water then rub exposed skin area with a pair of hosiery, (do not reuse the hoisery), hose captures the resin dust then wash with warm water that won't happen,..my son worked with this daily..... Thought I would pass this hint on to you..hope it helps
Thank you for getting back to me on the mats. Do you have a video on how to finish your resin coasters and trays? I am learning so much watching your resin videos. Keep up your videos. Anna from Arizona 👍🏻
It would be nice to see some other colors used in your projects besides gold. It's clear it's your favorite color. Mine's blue. How about some blue and white silver ?
Black and gold ia just such a sexy combination. I think that if you used a dence gold like Molten gold it would partly sink through but it would give you a nice film of gold on top. Also, you can actually double dip into the powder as tge powder will grab onto the wet stick, unless you drip resin into it. And even then, it's easy enough to scoop out the resin ones it sets. However you should never dip a resin stick into a paste or a liquid as it will contaminate it and ruin most of it😉
Hi Julie, I'm not sure if you've been told before on another video, but you shouldn't use heat on your moulds, it melts them and causes them to stick! Instead spritz with isopropyl alcohol, it pops the bubbles and draws the others to the surface.
Holy cow it's $26 there!? They are $10.99 here, I am in Florida and just checked Michael's Craft Store. Normally I would gripe about that price BUT shall bite my tongue this time lol. The 2 that have the see through center are soooo pretty just love them!!
So happy to see This, as I was curious about how these paints work with resin! Thank you, Julie! These are so pretty, and got me wondering if you have tried any color shifting pigments against black. And interference pigments.Also the mylar flakes that look mostly white, but their true colors come out beautifully against black. Just an idea. Love to you!
If I were to do this, I'd put just the thinnest bit of black around the edge and more clear in the center. Maybe the black would not take over the entire piece and leave a clear spot in the middle. Thanks for the video!
If you're going to sand resin you need to wear eye protection and definitely a respirator. At least a balaclava you can pull up over your nose and mouth and it will cover your neck as well. If you inhale it your body cannot get rid of it.
Lovely. You may want to consider sanding outside if you aren't already. Plenty of stories of people sanding resin in an enclosed space that have medical issues after the fact. Resin dust will stay and move around in an enclosed space.
Try pouring resin colors together. Like blue, green, and silver. Straight pour, like drizzling each color together. Then fill each mold, torch and let cure.
I wanted to duplicate your edging style, but found a problem with obtaining the right colors with a chisel tip. I did find some empty, refillable paint pens on Amazon, and this my be the way to go for me. I can add a stainless steel be be in them for shaking too.
I love this hobby but I can't afford to experiment with different resins and I'm not sure about the art-resin I bought letting it sit for 40 minutes before heating the coaster to expand the petals, does anyone know about art-resin, I use that brand to resin my canvases.
I just started working with resin and began with coasters. I’m finishing my colours aren’t bleeding into each other like yours and I’m not sure what I’m doing wrong. Any advice?
Your coaster are amazing! 😍 I do have a question, new to this... I'm having a real hard time finding a resin that set really hard and not flexible to do trays and coasters. Do you or anyone have any suggestions? Thanks
there are several if they are mixed exact...in the us I've used epoxy resin store, ks resin and krystal resin that are good. stone coat art coat as well, but it is a 2 week hard cure
