I recently came across your page and really love all your resin coasters. Just beautiful❤️ I would love to try this myself at home but resin is pretty pricey here in South Africa. How much resin do you normally use for a set of coasters?
Very pretty. I am new to this resin art. I am a traditional painter, but have learned much since discovering you tube. O much diversity in th craft field.
Simply gorgeous! I always learn something....a lot of somethings..in every video. The pink and gold are amazing. Kudos to you for including the gold leaf. That stuff is tricky. TU again!
It's harvest season! That means I'm stuck in the chair for the foreseeable future with your videos playing. Thank you in advance for that and also sorry for the sprinkle of random comments that I'm going to probably leave you in the next month or so.
What an absolutely beautiful place to have a wedding. Wow the gray looks very nice. Wow, I have to show this to my granddaughter tomorrow. They turned out just beautiful. Love the pink and the hearts 💕 are so, so cute.
Julie, I use my tweezers you have there to get the hairs out of my coasters and immediately wipe the ends with a baby wipe. The tweezers are great for getting the hairs out and not messing up the details in the mica. These are super pretty.
If you stir in a little alcohol with your mica pigments first it helps to break the clumps up , tip I got from Moonkusserart , she has some fantastic tips for resin.
Don't worry about a little divot , in nature, you will notice irregularities, imperfections,etc. No two will be alike in nature..they are lovely! It just helps it look more organic.
ooh that's an interesting idea, and I just bought some pearl beads and plan to do a similar coaster set for my mother's birthday. Thanks for the suggestion ;)
Hi Julie, just a thought for your gold in the center. What if you waited longer before you add the clear in the middle, maybe te 35 mins? Thining that the white would have a chance to bloom and set up a bit. The clear would the only push out a bit and the gold would not have that far to spread. Could that work? what do you think? I think they are beautiful as they are but I share your angst, there must be a way?
the only way I can think of to keep it from closing over your gold is to start with the clear. like.. do a clear bottom layer, let it spread out, then add your color after the same way you do now... then extra clear and then the gold and more clear. I think it would help. resin dries outside in so it's hard to not have the closing in effect. Still came out beautiful!
When n I've mixed up too much gold flake for my coasters, I pour 2 1/2 - 5 ml into the bottom of a medicine cup and allow it to cure. When they have cured, I will remove them from the medicine cup and store then in a container until the next time I want gold centers. They don't spread out and float away like they do when the gold flake and resin is fresh.
Do you use a respirator when working on resin? I only ask because your voice sounds a little raspy since the last time I watched one of your videos and was concerned. I don’t but think I’m gonna start wearing one because I have noticed my throat gets a little scratchy when I’ve poured a lot of resin. Hope you’re well. Coasters are gorgeous BTW!
Love the color and the mold. Where is it available to purchase? I noticed you didn't spread the top clear coat to the edges...also curious if that was intentional. They are beautiful
These are beautiful! One question when you say “I better get a ______ on it” are you saying wiggle or riggle? I love that phrase. And crazy idea but could you make a silicone mold of centers? Make them clear with the sparkle of your choice and let them cure. And then pop them in and do your design around them? I have to think the weight of the sparkle is what pulls the center down and brings the lighter resin in top.
