This was a technique that I came about from experimenting. I wanted to see what the reaction was with mica powder without using a sinker. What reaction would it have if I added alcohol to the mica powder and dropped it in like alcohol ink. was quite surprised. These pieces came out beautiful.

Highly recommend getting the level table from JDICTION. it really helps to make sure the resin doesn't tilt to one side. Also recommend using the Let's Resin heat mat. Makes a huge difference in how long it takes to cure. Lastly, the brand of resin is extremely important for crystal clear resin.

OMG! Now I am in BIG trouble! I have collected or “amassed” polymer clay supplies, everything and anything I might need, but after watching your AMAZING video, I immediately started shopping for resin supplies. I told my husband I was not spending any more money on craft supplies. Never say never, lol! 😮😊❤😊

@FlowingArtwithAmy Месяц назад

I know it’s very addicting

@kbjustme9291 Месяц назад

I'm the same way. It's addicting.

@Just-Peachy-JP Месяц назад

same - can never have enough craft supplies - I'm slowly working through unpacking (on film) an order of over 150 items - many craft supplies - i have a problem - my bank account isnt deep enough!!!!!😅🤣 I also just collected polymer clay supplies - unused..... now resin supplies!!! haha

@MizJaniceResinArt Месяц назад

Ha! I did the same thing. Lol. Got into polymer, which led to using resin for coating, which led to videos about different resin techniques, which led to me buying stuff for doing resin, and now I'm obsessed with uv resin.... I'm a serial crafter 😊

@sharilee4412 Месяц назад

@@MizJaniceResinArt so interesting . . . I am a serial crafter as well! Kind of funny … I went to get my nails done recently and was a bit of floored with the cost! Seemingly it’s gotten much more expensive and I hadn’t even thought about it before getting them done. I said to myself, I’m never doing this again! But I like having my nails done! So I took some time to research doing my own nails. Acrylic is too hard. But lo and behold.p, they now have polymer gel that you use with dual nail forms. Now I have all the supplies to do my own nails and I’m currently watching videos, etc. Of course there will be learning curve, but it’s so funny that it is right in line with polymer and uv light curing! Lol!

The first one on the back looks like a tiger in it. The blue one! Beautiful work

@stephaniemonterosso9119 Месяц назад

Hun, all of those were stunning!!! Not one of them had anything wrong with it. Beauty is in the eye of the beholder, and I'm sure that I'm not the only viewer who thinks they are ALL perfect just the way they are. So unique! Love them, keep craftin'!

The ones with the white are the best ones. They have movement in them and enhance the other colours.

Cool technique! You have some really pretty ones here. I love the technique and remember, other people will like the ones you might not like the best. I saw some you didn’t like all that much and I was like, wow that’s beautiful! :) I didn’t see the blemishes in the ones you mentioned either.;)

@FlowingArtwithAmy Месяц назад

Thanks so much! 😊

@teresasimmons5312 Месяц назад

I’m wondering if the mica powder is simply too thick and/or heavy for the alcohol white ink to go through unless you use your stick and swirl it through in order to help it out maybe, just a thought. Also I watched a video where the guy actually dipped his swirling tool into liquid silicone before swirling and he swirled without waiting an hour however he did wait the hour and then swirled them again and the results were amazing. However, your pieces are also amazing and I agree with you that blue one is absolutely gorgeous and one even looks like a blue rose. I really like them all 😊 Now I will try your technique and the other technique with the silicone dipped tip and see which I like best!! Thank you for a great video!!

@FlowingArtwithAmy Месяц назад

Let me know how it goes

@susanhauversburk582 8 месяцев назад

Hello, I’m new to this, this is beautiful. May I ask what type of masks do you recommend? Thank you.

@FlowingArtwithAmy Месяц назад

You want to wear a gas mask that covers nose and mouth. This is the one I use. amzn.to/3U8T44J

@WizardKitty723 Год назад

These are pretty! The Let’s Resin sinker white isn’t as heavy and you don’t get the spores

@FlowingArtwithAmy Год назад

I agree, love this technique.

@Leonieb1 Год назад

I didn't know you could put so much alcohol in the resin. will it not affect the curing process? your work is beautiful. thanks for sharing!!

@FlowingArtwithAmy Год назад

Thank you. No, it evaporates.

@bethc7779 2 месяца назад

@susanbrocksmith4255 2 месяца назад

I accidentally always touch bottom! How long do you wait before stirring?

@FlowingArtwithAmy 2 месяца назад

Depends on when the ink stops moving. About 10 minutes. But Depends on the resin I use at the time.

@idadejesus931 25 дней назад

1st time watching .but how long does the smell stay in your house ? The epoxy smell .

@FlowingArtwithAmy 25 дней назад

There is no smell . I use non toxic resin that has no smell. Let’s Resin or JDiction are great brands.

Like, but to annoying when you move them to much, just as the camera focuses you move it again

@FlowingArtwithAmy Месяц назад

If you watch my most recent videos, it's not like that. This was in the beginning of my channel.

@novanightgale8084 Месяц назад

I get that this is old but it was a little hard to watch, some of them you preferred the backs of were prettier then some you liked. Also, you weren't filling the molds right which even as someone who can't afford to work with resin much it made me cringe. If you still have the ones you preferred the backs of, clean them up and carefully dome the backs with just some clear resin of the same kind you were using, I do it so I know it isn't too hard as long as you don't make it spill over the edges, same thinggoes for the ones too see through, you can finish them carefully with a solid color back even after removing them from the mold, maybe just use mica powder and resin and either black, white or match one color used. Seems a waste to not finish pieces and there are likely people interested in buying ones you disliked rather then them sitting in your failure pile. I do like that you were experimenting at the time and you answered something I wasn't aware I was curious about but I hope in your recent works you filled the molds properly and don't give up so easily on your failures, in handcrafted items flaws make items even more one of a kind, the spores you didn't like in this video reminded me of things like coral, them on the edges were like a camera partially submerged in water looking at the reef, it actually made your blue pieces my favorites in this video, they just needed finished up a little. I haven't gotten to your newer video's yet but I do hope youlearned to dome your backs, flat are ok if inlaying but they are more comfortable domed if plain. I hope you don't take my creative criticism negatively, we simply don't all share the same taste so what you call failures may be pretty to others, and it just seems like a waste to not try at least selling pieces you don't like the result of, you could feed the small income into your hobby to buy more supplies, you could even raffle off pretty failures, it's just a thought.

@FlowingArtwithAmy Месяц назад

Thank you so much. It has been a process for sure.

@abladegaming8314 25 дней назад

WHAT?! How did you come to the conclusion that she wasn't feeling the molds right? If the way she filled her molds made you cringe, you need to work with resin a lot more, then get back to us. You then repeated exactly what she said in her video about putting a solid color on the back of some of the pieces like you were telling her how to do it. Also, doming is one of the first things a resin artist learns, I'm quite positive she knows how to dome. I'm just wondering exactly how you expect anyone to not take your comment negatively. There's a such thing as constructive criticism, but that's not what your comment was. You came across as extremely rude!

@sandiebarber1586 Месяц назад

Why are you not wearing gloves with the resin

@FlowingArtwithAmy Месяц назад

I am not touching the resin, but have in my description for those who are not professionals, to wear gloves.

@amistosa212 2 месяца назад

I WILL LOVE TO WATCH THE VIDEO BUT IS TOO LONG. NOT EVERYONE HAVE SO MUCH TIME. MAYBE YOU SHOUL MAKE SOME EDITING.

@FlowingArtwithAmy 2 месяца назад

Many who watch like to see every step. I do have other videos that are shorter. ❤️

@jaquelinepaul7384 2 месяца назад

Perhaps you should find your fast forward button because I disagree I love these long videos😊

@jennijennifer5129 2 месяца назад

I like these too. If you feel they're too long, apart from using your fast forward button you could also just watch in shorter time frames. Break up the video yourself.

@ruthmills2292 Месяц назад

When they get too long, fast forward over repetitive tasks. You can always go back if you miss something really important. At least with these tutorials you have that option but not with sales clips which are usually redundant and LONG! JUST saying.....
