What a lovely piece of art!! I would love to get into this as a hobby 😍
Beautiful 😍
Very Beautiful❤
I WISH I HAD HEARD THIS HACK BEFORE. Oh how many molds I could have saved
Absolutely stunning! Thank you so much for sharing your process! Do you have any tips/videos on doing inscriptions in the resin? Thank you Marina!
Thank you for your sweet words and for watching ❤️ I usually use my cricut joy for inscriptions. I don’t currently have any videos on RUclips, but I do share how I place an inscription in my flower blocks course on my website: marinamakesart.com/courses ❤️
@@marinamakesart awesome! I'll check it out. Thanks so much!
What a gorgeous result ❤ I was just wondering, from past research I had learnt that you had to pour the next layer when the previous one was firm but 'tacky' to prevent the layers from showing. Or if left to cure completely you need to sand down that layer so the new resin can make better adhesion and once again, prevent any layer lines from showing. Do you find with your end result that you see any layering at all or is your resin still a little tacky? I'm super curious to know. Thank you for sharing such a detailed tutorial, I love the idea of laminating your paper ❤ You certainly have a natural talent for floral arrangements, your finished piece is absolutely gorgeous 😍
Thank you so much for your kind words ❤️ Yes, if you want to minimize layer lines, it is best to pour before the previous layer is completely cured. However, if you do wait for the layer to cure completely, you don’t have to sand, you can just pour the next layer whenever you’re ready. The layers will adhere nicely either way. I personally don’t care about layer lines, so I usually wait until a layer is completely cured before pouring the next one. Good luck 🍀❤️
I was hoping someone clarify this to me because I’m making for the first time an 8 by 8 picture frame but I was so scared how to do the layers
this is gorgeous. why would you not use a silicone mold?
Have you ever added lights to these types of projects? I'm trying to figure out how to add the lights since the project is facing me instead of facing downwards, which would make it easier to place the light cord towards the back; however, I need to be able to see the front of the wedding invite, so I can ensure the flowers aren't blocking it! Any ideas/suggestions you may have?
I decided to preserve my daughter’s wedding bouquet but I didn’t think to do so until she dropped off the spray and bouquet after the wedding, so now flowers are dried with silica gel, some air dry and some pressed. (Silica the best) but I have no idea what I’m doing. I have an acrylic tray with handles. My first question is did you seal the area where you installed the handles? (From your other video) and 2nd I’ve invested so much money already so I purchased self laminating sheets for the invitation. Do you think that will seal it properly. I’m so nervous I’m going to ruin her bouquet even though we had no plans to keep it initially. Thank you for your videos and any advice is greatly appreciated.
Going to try to answer your questions here:
(1) The tape on the tray is to protect the acrylic and handles from resin and I've never had to seal the area with the handles-- as long as the screws are on there snug, you'll be okay when it comes to that concern
(2) I've never used self laminating sheets, so if you're worried, it's always best to do a small tester. Use a piece of paper to replicate the invite and try to put some resin on it and see if it seeps through. When it comes to laminated paper, the vulnerable areas are usually the air pockets closest to the invite since it creates an opening to the invite. If you look at the laminated sheet, and it's air tight, that's a good sign that it should be ok.
I'm trying to do a DIY resin photo block, and this is exactly what I was looking for! I watched another one of your videos and you sanded it and used a top coat for one of the blocks. Why didn't you need a top coat for this one?
This is just my personal artistic style, I treat every block as it's own unique piece and only top coat if I feel like it'll elevate the piece. I find that I like larger blocks without the top coat and I like smaller blocks with the top coat, but there are always exceptions so I just do what feels right to me in the moment ❤
Did you have to seal the ribbon or metal frame before pouring resin over it at all? Thank you! Your piece is lovely!
Thank you so much ❤️ I did not seal the ribbon or metal and just placed it as is, usually these items are okay without sealing
Can you please tell me how much resin you need for this masterpiece?
About 1.2 gallons
Ok and how can I decide that how much resin I need for 1st layer or 2nd layer or 3rd layer?
How long does this take to make?
How do you price an item like this as it seems like it took about a week. Im struggling with pricing.
A project like this usually takes me months, because flower drying takes several weeks + the pouring does as well, then I'm juggling this project amongst other projects that are coming in and being shipped out. How I calculate pricing is to estimate how much the materials cost for a piece, add on a overhead fee (to cover a portion of rent/utilities/shipping fees/transaction fees) and then add on how much I want to pay myself for the hours.
Hope that helps!
What resin are u using?
The materials are linked in the description box. This is KSRESIN liquid cast.
thanks! @@marinamakesart
It looks lovely but you are showing your clients' details.
You said, " this is what I am
do-ink". What is "do-ink"? Do you mean "doing"?
Beautiful 😍
