Do whatever feels good love, but the usual whimsical "Channel" always brings about a feeling of lightness ❤ Either way, just be you! Happy for another upload to watch, while I do my resin crafts 🤗
so.. i live in the UK.. the weather here is terrible especially this time of year. Regarding your first tip about the temp of resin, i have found that if i warm my resin in the bottles before starting my project it mixes and works really well. I tend to get a bowl of some sort and fill it half full of hot water, let it cool slightly, pop the bottles in the water for 15-20 mins and let them just sit, after the time i do tend to slowly tip the bottles upside down and back again and pop them in for a further 5-10 mins.. then take them out dry them down with a towel and proceed with the project. It really does work a charm.
Awesome tips. Thanks so much for this. Ive dried flowers with cat litter silica gel. Its chunky so you have to be delicate. But i need to get proper flower drying silica as my flowers fall to pieces. The petals that are left are still beautiful though. You are an inspiration, thank you for sharing all this.
I press my flowers in the microwave between some hard cardboard, paper towels, felt, and a piece of cotton fabric sandwiches on each side of the flower, with a heavy dish on top, for 30 sec intervals! It works really well
Whimsical is different the original and that makes it special. Perfect video it’s very helpful, and even the simplest things in your tricks can help tremendously.❤️🌷 someone else. 🙏 thank you.
Just discovered you and I can't wait to watch all your videos! I'm in the California desert, but am a graduate of UNH, Durham. I can remember skiing into town and back to my apartment to shop.
Thank you so much for having a lost of PPE. I was so confused when it came to a respirator and haven’t been using one and I know I really need to.. it’s been a big help to a beginner!
It honestly depends on what resin you are using whether or not that's necessary. I use a resin that has no VOCs So that I can work comfortably in my home without having to put on all that crap
no joke, when I take a shower before I work with resin, I will put the resin bottles in the bathroom with me so it warms up slowly...works really well!
i so love your videos. I love how you keep all the silly little mistakes or when the fire truck goes by and you make a comment about it. You have so much energy. Love how you change the color of your hair at times. When I watch you teach us what you are doing it is lots of fun. Thank you for taking time out of your day to make great content for your channel.
You are such a lovely, humble and funny person. I adore your videos and use much of your advice. Just wanted you to know that you do brighten my day and help me!
You should open your videos however you like best. I’m here for it either way. I do have one question about the silica gel drying method....after drying the flowers, how do you store them?
I really enjoy watching your videos and I just find it so much fun to learn things as you are doing them. You are the reason I bought resin and are trying things. The only annoying thing is I live in Wales and I sooo want the aaj molds 😂 thank you for every x
Agreed I love the whimsical channel 💜💜💜 I need a heat gun. Your smart beautiful and so talented missus . Have a magical Thanksgiving to you and your family
I love when you sing it, when you didn't sing this time I was like "what the heck"lol can't lie I sing it with you and my husband laughs cause I'm so excited lol
Have you tried pressing your flowers in the books just long enough to get them flattened and then moving them into silica gel for a few days to see if it speed up the drying process? I'm curious to know if it would work :) also curious as to how much resin you use for each of your pieces :)
If you bought a special lamp to use on uv resin it can also be used on gel nail polish. I do both uv resin and gel polish. Gel polish dries fast and doesn't look like a hot mess after a few days.
I would love to know How you made the Rose Globe. I had a glass one as a teenager (80’s) but I would love to learn to make REAL Rose globes or tear💧 drop shaped 🌹 ones.
Absolutely Love your channel anyway you do it♡ Thanks for the tips&tricks! Looking forward to using some of them to make ToddlerProof Christmas Ornaments this year.
I hate that I can’t see your Amazon supply list (I’m in Australia and it just keeps booting me out). You are adorable and I am so excited to be doing my first pour in the morning! You are so informative and delightful and I’m so grateful to you for sharing your gifts! I hope to get good at preserving flowers so I can preserve my partners daughters wedding bouquet when she he’s married next year!!
Very helpful, thank you! Bubbles are not my friend. I made the mistake of using the heat gun while my epoxy was setting and the surface was completely rippled/destroyed.
Thank u soon much sweetie pie, very helpful and useful information, having tried to dry full roses where I didn't remove petals, it went horrendously wrong everything went brown because they weren't totally dry, once I followed ur advice success👍 🤗🇬🇧😙
Giiiiirl I live in Mass! I'm getting ready to use resin for the first time and I'm super nervous because of the cold weather. Thanks for all the awesome tips!
Hi i wondered where you get the moulds for those little circular i think they are paper weights on the shelf behind you thanks i really enjoy watching your videos
I love your regular intro! Sing it loud and proud girl!! When this video started and you did the intro, I was wondering what was going on and why you weren't singing it. I think singing it makes it so much more inviting, exciting, personalized. Thanks for the tips! I'm going to be drying some mums in silica gel today. I haven't done it before, but I am so excited to see the results for myself. By the way, your makeup is always so beautiful!
I'm interested to know where you got those large spheres that you put the roses in. I can't seem to find large ones. All they have are small ones ( 100mm )
Thank you for tips and tricks. That was weird when your drink spill, oh well life isn't perfect. God bless you and yours, Happy Thanksgiving, Janet🦃🦃🦃🦃🥧🥧🥧🍽🍽🍽🍞🍞🍞
Can you please specify what resin you use? I've checked out the website you link but there's several choices and I don't know which one to try please? 🙏
Adding to the last reply; I've heard people say that when it has changed colour they microwave it, making it dry out again. Something else too, if you can't get silica gel (yet), or want to try it out, you can use washing powder. It will take longer, but it works the same way.
can anyone tell me how i can use an art piece that i don't wanna sell bc it didn't turn out good im new into resin so i have a few things that didnt turn out good is there away to melt it or ect i cant find any videos that haave sum on the lines of that unless im trying it in wrong or sum
Hi, in all the time you have used flowers in resin have you ever noticed the colour of the flowers fading after a while? I'd love to know if the age in resin and fade like normal or if they stay the same colour forever. Thanks so much.
Thanks for the tips and tricks. Always love watching you on your videos! I too am in the North Eastern side of the states and thanks to this cold weather, my resin art is on hold, since I do it outside. =( (Yes, I am VERY sad.. I don't have anywhere inside to do it #ItSucks) Anyway... I hope you and your family have a WONDERFUL Thanksgiving!! Can't wait to see next weeks vid!
I love your videos and I’ve learned so much! Have you seen the worming effect in the Petri resin pieces? I’ve been working to try and figure it out and wondered if you have made things like that before. I’d love to see a video on it!
Your videos inspired me to start learning about resin. My problem is that my alcohol inks don't react with resin like in your videos. I use Pentart alcohol inks because this brand is available where I live. So when I try to use them with resin the whole thing is a mess. Do you think I should order Pinata inks that would solve my problem? Thanks, Edit from Hungary
I love your videos! I've been so inspired and recently picked up resin crafting! I'm curious, in your amazon store you have Treadmill lubricant in with the inks and dyes you use? What do you use it for?
