I only tried it once and I wasn’t happy with it. I watched a cup get wrapped on RK3 Designs the other night and it came out well. I noticed they didn’t use any water so I’m going to try it that way. Adore that pattern though!!!
I consider this a win, it looks so nice. I also notice that no matter how careful I tried to be, the brush strokes never really leveled out and it showed through the foil. I’m almost done with the Resin/Washi charcuterie board, I’m going to try the foils on another one to see how it comes out.
1...I love how the tumbler turned out! Beautiful "save". 2... please keep trying the foils if for no other reason than watching this video made my entire day. "No, actually it's the beginning of the end" 🤣 I genuinely look forward to your videos and your sense of humor.
@@Luxinda i have something for you and little windows to think about if your intersted. I love the resin i just got my first package from them today yay! I was tired but had to open and jump around like a child. Never used it before but usally catch me watching her videos. Thats how i came across yours i guess. Very happy i did. So i made quick little molds not much just had to try because i believed them when they say how good it is and bought 3 packages of resin. Was hoping they were right. No disappointment here! Now happy i bought so much. But they can't send large bottles to canada. I don't like that😒. I dont usually buy outside of Canada. I have tried 6 or 7 kinds of resin and had mo luck until now YOU GUYS ROCK! PLEASE GET BACK
I think the big reveal "outside" looks so beautiful. What I've seen from other tumbler makers is that they apply the foil randomly. You did a great job and the "save" was spot on.
I'm glad we all like different looks on our tumblers. This isn't one of my favorite but it is pretty. I've thought about trying these foils but I'll let you perfect them first. LOL Keep trying they really have appeal.
Please keep trying! I know it's not what you originally envisioned but you made something so beautiful. That glitter looks amazing next to the aqua daisies and I just love the retro feel the peekaboo has given it.
i freaking LOVE that you posted this! you are a fun time! i love watching and evem the fail is helpful! so glad youre willing to have public wins and losses. it will save ppl some time and stress of their own! glad i found you
It's a beautiful tumbler! I have not been a fan of foils for many years. I was hoping to be surprised... I'd love to see you try again. You usually are able to get things to work despite the product. Thanks for all of your videos. I enjoy watching
Found you on you tube & had to come leave a comment! Love how raw you were in this video & didn't cut out your mistakes! I loved it & it cracked me up & the cup came out absolutely perfect!
That’s why I like to watch you, it’s not all perfect but you take the chances on fixing it. It gives the rest of us the opportunity to fix stuff on our own!! Thank you, if that makes sense??
I love your videos!! Most of the tumbler videos make things look so easy, and I absolutely love your brutal honesty and feel all your frustrations:) Thank you & your tumbler really did turn out beautiful:)
I love the foils wrinkles and all keep going you do a great job and you’re such an inspiration for all of us. I haven’t tried them yet but you make me want to so thank you keep going you do a great job and I so appreciate all that you do. You create beautiful pieces of art.
Your notes!! Too funny. Honestly I think the foil product gives cover to "flaws" in the application process. The cup is beautiful. Sometimes a thing can be perfectly imperfect. Roll with that idea. As an aside, I watched her application video and seriously cringed as she mixed 2 oz of epoxy and applied with a foam brush!!!! Lol.. her cup was pretty too.
Ok, I busted up laughing at PIVOT... that's an inide joke for hubby and me! This really did turn out beautifully, and learning new material is all part of the process! One option for the foils may be to use vinyl as a stencil for applying the adhesive, that could help eliminate the chance for wrinkles? Like a faux or reverse peekaboo maybe? Happy new year, friend!!
I love it!! From my experience and watching others, is cutting pieces and randomly placing the foil and using it to make things more vintage, patina never seen anyone try or go for a full coverage with foil. Love how you go for it and give your honest opinion ❤️
Thanks very much!! I've seen a couple full-cup videos with the foil, and it's possible that as a viewer I just couldn't see any imperfections in the foil results, especially since the person in the video didn't dwell on them or point them out specifically (that whole embracing it thing). 😊😊
Thank you!!! I love the foils, and I have much better luck using them in other ways, so I really wanted this to work. But clearly I need more practice. 😁
Nice save! Love the cup! I watched another video where the maker actually crinkled her foil up before applying. She likes the crinkle effect, this may be a new avenue to travel down. Just a thought.. I’ve also seen them randomly place the foils in a distressed look. Turns out stunning.
Thank you!! I know! I’ve seen that and it just seems so wrong when the pristine foil is so beautiful. But I guess that would be the most sure-fire way to “embrace the wrinkles” 😳🤣
Yes! Keep trying! I just ordered foils too. I have watched lots of videos that do not apply the foil sheet like a full vinyl wrap but cover the entire cup by pressing sections in a random way. I think your cup is pretty, I love the way you placed the daisies.
I love how the glitter on the black is a perfect compliment to the foil! It's beautiful cup! Is it possible that you were having such a stinky day that nothing you did was going to be pleasing to you? Please keep going, I think you will find a style that makes it beautiful through your experimentation!
Thank you!! Oh, yes, it's certainly possible that was part of the problem -- as I recall, I had a sort of cascade of issues happen that day, and it just made everything seem ... ugh. LOL!
I just tried foils for the first time i also was not in love with them.But you gave me a great idea to try with it. I will keep trying them and see how much i can improve with use of them.
I’m glad you kept pushing forward. I know you notice the flaws, but the end result is beautiful!! I bought some of the foil and had the very same issue with wrinkling and I hated it too. I tried to disguise them by adding glitter to the epoxy and it’s ok but why didn’t I think of doing a perk a boo?! So much better!! 💗 I’d really like to see you continue doing tutorials with the foils so I can perfect it too. I also bought several so I need more ideas of what to do with them. Oh, and just so you know, I used two coats of Tack It/water to apply the foil and it worked perfectly.
I loved it! Imperfection happens to me all the time and sometimes that's what gives it character. I wouldn't stop trying yet. What if you did section by Section? Or laying it down with the wing side to a cricut mat or other sticky surface to hold it in place so it doesn't bunch up on you? Just a suggestion. As always, I love it. Don't quit trying please!
I love that foil a great save!!! maybe throw those foils to your other channel and create something there? maybe on a canvas, box, journal cover, some other unique item? These foils are really beautiful.
Okay keep on trying..Very pretty pattern. I tried to tell you last time. Foils don't work that way. You're going to get creases Galore trying to do the whole cup at once. You have to do foils in sections. That's why with foils of variety of foils can go on the cup as long as they of course are cohesive.You don't need much adhesive at all. You simply press it on and rip it off (don't be scared to actually rip it off fast) get a smooth finish every time. Of course I just do my nails. Yes much smaller. But it's still the same concept. I have no doubt you'll get it down!!! The final cup very beautiful!😘 p.s. no foils aren't supposed to have wrinkles sweetie
I really like it! I think it turned out really well! I don't understand why this would be easier/better than a vinyl wrap, but it turned out beautiful regardless, and I'll probably do something similar soon!
Thank you!! So far, it's definitely not easier (for me) than a vinyl wrap, but the foil look is completely different from most vinyls, and can be used in different ways -- this method of putting it on a tumbler is just one thing I've been trying to conquer. 🙄😁
I think the overall tumbler was a great save!! Maybe do sections at a time for more of a controlled situation?? Love how you are honest with your videos
Looking good! I tried the foils, first was an epic failure! I forgot to remove the transfer clear part off the tumbler, 😂. Epoxied and yikes! But now I see this one and now know what I can do with mine! Peek-a-boo! This cup looks great!
Thank you!! I shouldn’t get so discouraged (I mean, I still can’t do layered mica hatching the way I want to), but I was feeling pretty defeated for awhile by this one. We will persevere! 😊😊😊
I like how it came out, but I get where you are coming from. As the artist you have to like it yourself. Personally, I don't think it needs any decals as it does have a lot going on already. Something you might add to it is outlines and the middles of the flowers with either vinyl or with one of those metallic paint pens? That might draw the eye away from those few funky foil places that bother you. What you have right now has a little bit of a oriental silk pattern feel to it. The glitter, foil, along with the black looks really nice. 💖 Don't give up on the foils yet. You've got this!
Thank you very much!! Someone else said there was an oriental silk vibe to it, as well. I use these same transfer foils in a completely different way (and with a better result) this coming Friday afternoon over on my new channel: ru-vid.com/show-UCLiJL5D0eT3m0DVRaOkY4jw
I love the end result. I agree wrinkles bother me as as well.. (especially the ones on my face) 🤣🤣🤣 I don't like foils either. Small area ok. Thanks 💙 😊
Wow! I have to respectfully disagree! I was a little iffy about it...UNTIL...I saw the reveal in the sun. All of a sudden it just came to life for me! I think it's beautiful! I'm a believer that we are all our own worst critics.
No kidding?! That’s a great idea!! I don’t know if I’d have the patience to pay close enough attention to the state of my resin to catch it at just the right tackiness. But that’s fantastic!
Like what I can see- your not the type to give up- y We are your worst critics - the saying goes - somebody’s trash is some ones treasures - but this isn’t trashy - I like it & I’m sure others also do - have a good week
@@joycepugh5347 that's funny - I didn't even read it that original way; my brain automatically switched it to "we are our worst critics" LOL!! I am on the ball!
I love this tumbler. I think it would be amazing with someone’s initials in teal on it. Please keep trying the foils. Maybe scrunch the whole sheet before you put it on so the wrinkles are intentional and you get that weathered look.
I love it , I would have given up lol peekaboo was a great save and that glitter is perfect! I've not tried these types of folders(or ya know foils...) just leafing in small sections and don't think I will haha one more thing to frustrate me nah I'm probably good there 🤣 wondering if a piece of parchment or wax paper can be slipped in between and it burnished little bit by little bit? Don't quit I know you're not a quitter and will find a way that works!
Thank you!!! 😊 The thing is, this foil works so amazingly well in other situations/methods (my new channel vid this Friday aftn, just as an example), but in this tumbler and other larger-surface applications, it seems to really require embracing the wrinkles and flaws, and that's where my reluctance pops up. I'm not as much of a "distressed look" fan as I know some folks are. But since I still have LOTS of foils, I will definitely be making more attempts and trying different things.
Try putting your foil on in strips. Leave your tumbler on you Turner and cut your foil into strips however wide you want and slowly put it on in slips you may have edges but I think it might eliminate your crinkles
I say try random patterns (like the daisy one) but cut thr foil into vertical strips instead of trying to cover the whole cup at once, that stuff has no give to it unlike fabric or vinyl. You did a great job!
Thank you!! LOL, I ran into the 3rd fiasco with those foils in that video and let my frustration out on camera. Not my finest moment 😄😄 I am actually a Virgo, but am constantly down on myself for a lot of things. I try not to be like that, but at this point, I have a 60-year track record of it, soooo it's hard to break that habit.
I can’t believe how you saved this cup. It’s really pretty. My question is why work with the foils if they cause such anxt and you make so many beautiful cups using other techniques?
Thank you!!! I get asked that question about Brusho crystals also, which can really vex me. And I guess it's the same answer -- I really want to figure it out LOL!
What if you use tack it on say a third of the cup then size the foil and you could just lay it down without having to roll it around so no wrinkles idk. Then put glue on next section use same or different foils etc then you may have to put vinyl strips between foils to tidy up. 😁🤷♀️
