I only just found you but your videos are my favorite so far. No long intro or watching you mix resin for 3 minutes. You just straight in and provide such great instructions and tips. I'm so thankful. 🙏🙏🙏
Great tutorial, you explained everything clearly and no, you didn’t ramble 🤩. The bowl is beautiful, I love the shape and the colours are gorgeous. I have subscribed and will be catching up on your other makes. Many thanks xx
@@resinfanatics Samantha, your videos are AWESOME!!! Because of you, I have stepped outside my comfort zone and created a few sets of coasters! You teach very well!!! And I am a teacher, so I know ;)
Loved seeing you create your bowl. I'm in love with making these bowls. Each one is so unique! I was interested in seeing what timing you used, as that is so critical. Having lots of drips makes for interesting bowl but those tentacles often break easily and I prefer the somewhat more firm edge as you achieved. I use ClearCast 7050 and use a free form mold made from clothes line with non shrinking cellophane gift wrap laid over it. The timing for me varies depending if I preheat my resin (I work in a basement) and how firm I want my bowl to be. I usually let the resin sit for 3 to 3-1/2 hours. I use a candle vase or bowl as a form. I'm looking forward to seeing you make more bowls or vases in the future..
Purple is my favorite color!! This is ABSOLUTELY GORGEOUS!! Now I want to go play with resin. I just don't have all the materials yet. I love how descriptive you are! Thank you for sharing your process tips and tricks!
Beautiful 💯 Great Video it was Perfect! I loved how you made instructions plain and to the point! Thank you for sharing! I'll be trying my hand at it😁👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽
So beautiful! I love it! I did something similar but on a smaller scale and made a candle holder out of it.... So fun to experiment with different ways to use resin!
Just found your videos today. Great, thank you! I'm thinking of doing resin water features for a couple of fairy gardens. The geodes without a center hole are perfect for ponds, but I was trying to figure out how to do waterfalls. Maybe epoxy some stones together for the base, then make a silicone outline for a rectangular stream, and drape over the rocks later as you do your bowls?
I’ve missed you. I’ve been wanting to try this and today did it on my own. So I hope it came out as nice at yours my first attempt wasn’t what I wanted so kept looking for you. It’s a trial and error. Glad I found you again I did subscribe to your channel
My favorite colors are purple and green. This is beautiful. I’ve never seen a Geode made like this. I love it! I watched a video the other day and the woman used a clear vinyl shower curtain as a base. The vinyl would be more stable and easier to use. That chirping smoke detector needs batteries. 🤪
I watched this at 2am, I thought the chirping smoke detector was in my house! I sent about 15 minutes checking each of mine! Glad to know I'm not crazy!
Great video. I learned that a little oil (cooking oil of choice is fine) on the plastic, before pouring on the resin, helps a lot with plastic removal once dry
Beautiful! I have tried a couple times but failed. One hardened too much and my last piece was to thick. I have a plate similar to yours so I tried it today and waiting now. 💜 Thank you 😊
Very pretty. I'd like to see you go farther with this, I bet you could come up with some really cool ideas. Also, a suggestion on your stir sticks....... have you thought about possibly doing one end with a silicone spatula? I really like the little hands for mixing, but it's still kind of hard to scrape out the cups with them. Love your videos, always a pleasure to watch.
Thank you so much! I do have an awesome idea to turn this bowl into something else ;) im working it out.. and the spatula thing is a great idea thank you i will look into it....
Thank you SO much for your teaching In this video. I have not yet “played” with the resin. I’ve been laid up since having a brain tumor and surgery to remove it....and literally forced into retirement after having enjoyed my career of 29 years of being a Nurse. Also currently Waiting for surgery for 2 Uber specialists to co-case on me, doing a number of “major” surgeries on me at one time. I desperately do need the surgeries… But here in California where I am… They are doing no surgeries except for emergency ones… or non emergency (“elective”???) surgeries only on an outpatient status. In spite of my begging and pleading… The surgeons will not let me go home day of surgery because of the extensive surgeries I need done. My surgeries have been scheduled twice and canceled twice! It’s just crazy!… So since my activities are limited at the moment… (And will be while recovering)...I was thrilled to find so many RUclips videos on resin art. I have been “studying” how to do fluid art and resin art. I absolutely love your bowl as I love all things sparkly and purple; any shade!😋 So I look forward to playing in all of this and hope I can come out with some things worth using as gifts and for things around the home. I definitely want to try to make a bowl similar to yours! I do have a question...And more questions… LOL if you don’t mind… I purchased this huge thing of resin… By MAS. I know to only mix what I need for my project. So thus my questions: 🔹How do you know.how much resin you need to mix For each project? 🔸How do you know how much time to let a project set before you can move it In order to form/shape it? I’ve heard a lot of people letting resin sit for a few minutes prior to working with it. 🔹How do you know how long to let it sit prior to working with it...(Especially when that takes away from the “working time”.)? And last question for this morning: I only purchased Mica powders And not alcohol ink. 🔸Do I have to have alcohol ink or are the mica powders perfectly fine to use in my resin art (as long as I mix it completely)? Thank you for your time and again, your step-by-step was wonderfully done and I totally appreciate it! I have subscribed to Your channel and I have also saved your video in order for me to attempt to make the same thing. Thank you again and God bless you and may you remain healthy and strong!😋 Victorya
Hello Victorya , I am so sorry you are going through so much crazy stress right now and I will be sending you healing and positive vibes.. I hope that they get you taken care of that is more then elective and just ridiculous.. I am so sorry .. I will try to answer your questions as best as I can and thanks for watching 1. I have a habit of mixing too much resin but i use the extra to make magnets to give in as gifts in all of my orders.. but there is a resin calculator, but you kind of get to know by experience www.resinobsession.com/resin-calculator/ 2. Depending on your resin it should set for 3-5 hours .. it should not be sticky to the touch but still bendy 3.I never let mine sit .. I work with KSRESIN and its pretty thick already ... it has 45 min plus working time.. The only time I let it sit is if im trying to do something super thick like blood drips I actually have a tutorial on that 4.Mica is just fine.. Alcohol inks is just another form.. I mean its truly awesome to have both If you have anymore questions let me now.. Take care of yourself .. Hang in there ... Will keep you in my thoughts and prayers
I can guess perhaps where your inspiration came from. :) I actually just watched one of her videos in which she used this technique and a resin cast golf ball to make a paperweight. I have been watching her do these kinds of bowls and freeform sculptures for months now. Still not brave enough to try it myself but I will someday. Kudos to you for giving it a try. :D It looks great. - Heidi
@@resinfanatics Oh I was talking about Sue Findlay. Not sure she was the first to come up with it but she was the first one I saw doing it. :) This is her golf ball splash cast video - ruclips.net/video/PQsxKwQ_nB4/видео.html - Heidi
Sue Findlay Designs has perfected this technique. I also saw a similar use over a yr ago. I enjoyed your different take on resin bowl-making. It gives us choices. 🤗
Just gorgeous! A suggestion to make the inside of the bowl smoother would be to use a sturdier plastic. I wish I knew the name but I saw another video by another free form resin artist who used this heavier plastic for hers which appeared to alleviate the saran wrap wrinkles. I know you like to use household items but your stunning bowl has all the tell tale signs of premature aging. BTW, I had no idea you could do a pour like this with resin! Thanks so much!
Awesome job :) I wonder if you would have had a smoother inside finish if you had used shower curtain instead of saran wrap. Not big on this yet so just wondering. I thought you were easy to follow. Good job!
Thank you ... Good idea with the shower curtain i will try next time but i actually like the texture of the inside the lines from the wrap gave it a real cool look
It was very understandable. And thanks for the pointer on KS Resin. I have been looking for a good alternative to ArtResin. I am excited to check out your store!!
Very beautiful color combination... My Qs are ▪1 does it hold water/liquid ?▪2 is it easy shape ?▪3 r u able 2 cookie cutter shapes in then re-resin in those areas 1 would cutout ? Ty 4 this demo. This has me brain-storming .
No i wouldnt do that the plastic melts easy...Let the resin sit in the cup for about 10 minutes the bubbles will rise to the top then carefully pop them there
Thank you , I use all types of piments , everything i used is in the description box and i sell micas to color resin in my store islandmicasandmore.com
Would stainless steel pendants and/or decorative rocks/stones adhere to this resin ? This purple bit of magic you've created is all kinds of fantasticness.
Could I use a silicone mat instead of the plastic wrap? I am at work and had to watch without sound so I am sorry if you said anything about this in the video. Thanks!!!
I’m just getting into resin and was wondering aren’t you supposed to wear gloves when working with resin….just a question since I’ve only been doing this for 2 weeks now….

Be careful its addicting lol

Amazing job! I couldn't wait to see the end! It's beautiful. I love the drips.
Joyce England thank you
I'm now so intrigued as to how babies in Key West smell? 😆😆
Those colours are just so lush!

Thanks for watching!
Wear your gloves when working with those UNICORN TEARS people. That was awesome, I love it 3 snaps up!!!
Absolutely gorgeous. I've never seen anything like it. I'm so impressed.
Tank you so much!

Great idea to try, i use press and seal for all my vinyl

Great Job, it looks so nice 👍👍👍
Thank you
Wow vary nice. How long you let it cure before you lift up to shape it?
like 4-5 hours
Thank you so much love it! Can't wait for the next video! So beautiful!
Thank you so much
Way cool I'm going to try it with mabels
I tend to get air bubbles with my resin. Would you say it’s ok to blow torch thin application on plastic wrap? Amazing work!
No i wouldnt do that the plastic melts easy...Let the resin sit in the cup for about 10 minutes the bubbles will rise to the top then carefully pop them there
Very nice!
Thank you
Beautiful,love purple
Thank you!
Beautiful I like purple to !
That was beautiful
Thank you
Just beautiful, thank you
Really enjoy your videos, please put a battery in your smoke detector every time I hear the beep I think its mine!
Susan Wareham thanks and sorry LOL I’ll tell my husband to get on it!
Lol Thought it was mine too!
I know this is a little random... But where'd ya get the serving plate? I like it! :) And I'm a new subscriber, keep up the great videos! ☺
Barb H lol it was a long time ago from one of those school magazines my kid was selling around christmas time
Like vlog...how much resin Di's you use ea. ...when pouring???
Not sure made this video a while back .. Mabye I said it in the video
I love it
Thank you
Hi do you use powdered paint to mix with the resin, I am new to this...your bowl is beautiful!!!
Thank you , I use all types of piments , everything i used is in the description box and i sell micas to color resin in my store
islandmicasandmore.com
how do you clean these items? Do you wash them by hand with soap and water or just teped water?
I only really use for decoration, but soap and water is fine or dusting
Would stainless steel pendants and/or decorative rocks/stones adhere to this resin ?
This purple bit of magic you've created is all kinds of fantasticness.
I think you can add just about anything in there , but make sure the item is opaque because if it is see through it could get lost in the resin
Thanks - I Will try this. Big hug from Denmark 💕🇩🇰
Thanks for watching
Could I use a silicone mat instead of the plastic wrap? I am at work and had to watch without sound so I am sorry if you said anything about this in the video. Thanks!!!
i have heard of people using them before
I love it I love the explanations to give us
Your smoke alarm needs a new battery lol
Patricia Goble yes thank you lol it has been replaced
Gorgeous!!! 😍
Thank you
Thanks for sharing!!! I cant wait to try it out
thank you
That is fabulous

Yes 💯 you should always wear gloves
Beautiful! The beep in the background is a fire alarm needing a new battery!
Yes thank you this is an old video and I have changed it already
Its very pretty
Sheila Mandra thank you

Yup he is my grandfather 😆
Your very welcome

Since I see you also work with Jaquard, can you mix them into acrylic paint with Floetrol or not?
Hmmm. not sure never tried it... but since its super thin i dont see why not....
it looks good thank you
Thank you
So this is color with only resin? You don't use any pouring medium?
no you do not use pouring medium with resin
Zo mega mooiii😃😍😍😍😍😍😃👍
Love it! How much resin do I need to do it? I want to buy it, but I dont want to buy too much ( Covid 19 budget)
start with a small amount like a 32 ounce kit
@@resinfanatics thank u so much! I love your videos!!!
Ughhhh... This is beautiful..... Can I ask what kind if cling you use? Mine seems to always get infused when it's curing 😭
just a cheap store brand
