  • Опубликовано: 9 сен 2024
  • You asked for it, I delivered! This is made from the discarded crayon wrappers that were used to make the Rainbow Bud Vase.
    I took 33 empty crayon wrappers, cast them in polyester resin, then turned them on the wood lathe. I also had a few bumps and hiccups along the way...

    Insane to think this video is eight years old. This is the video I come to when I'm stressed and I know I need something to calm down. The process of seeing something as simple as crayon wrappers turn into something so stunningly gorgeous - this video brings me a comfort I cannot properly put into words. If someone asked me what my favourite video on all of youtube is, I would say it's this. I've loved your content for nearly a decade now and this video has gotten me through more stressful times than I can list. I hope wherever this bottlestopper is, that it's loved. Such a beautiful piece should be appreciated.

    tbh peter's videos always calm me down when I'm having major anxiety or depression issues. i dunno why, but the vibe in the videos relaxes me a lot, and I really enjoy seeing the projects. they're all really good. so, thank you for this.

  • @Naplesfrank154
    @Naplesfrank154 8 лет назад +85

    +Peter Brown After watching your videos with crayons, I was wondering if you could pour drips of molten crayon or shavings from crayons into the epoxy? If you were able to catch multi-colored drips of wax in the epoxy, that would look awesome. Another idea would be to fill gel caps (from medicines) with gold and silver leaf. After you put the flakes into the gel caps, you can fill them with a mineral oil. Since it's crystal clear, the flakes would look like they were just floating in the epoxy. Hope my ideas will spark new projects from you. 😎

    3:20 I love it when you have enough experience and knowledge of your material that you can solve problems like this. I don't work with epoxies as anything other than adhesives at this point, but someday I hope to add that versatile material to my repertoire.
    Very cool bottle topper, Peter! I especially like that some of the papers are intact and legible enough, and angled so that you can still not only identify what they were, but still read what color it was. :)

  • @Sebastopolmark

    You should do a give away for some of your projects. Not all because I imagine it must be pretty cool to have some of these things around your home, but it definitely helps to connect with your audience. Especially for those of us who aren't talented in the way you are and can't make the awesome things you do.

P.s Just an idea, but I'd love to see autumn leaves in resin. Perhaps a single one, sanded with a domed face would make a pretty pendant? Or perhaps crafted Into a fruit bowl? The reds yellows and browns would look beautiful :)

    way cool Peter!

Quick and easy. Give it a try sometime

    • @MyxDyingxFantasy
      @MyxDyingxFantasy 8 лет назад +3

      Look on amazon or ebay for epoxy resin :) I found some on ebay last night, the same brand used in the video, for only £30 approx $35-$40. Mix according to instructions. Then just use a piece of thin thread or fishing wire so you can dip the popcorn in the resin. You might need to use a cocktail stick to submerge the popcorn so it's coated all over, then tie the string onto something so the pop corn hangs free (put something underneath to catch drips). Leave to harden. You can buy drop earring pins on ebay, you can thread beads onto the string if you like, then just use the thread to attach it to the stem, and voilà! Popcorn earrings!! Hope that all made sense!

    You should put 2 of those crayon tubes stacked vertically and put some graphite inside it to make your own pencil. I think if you could get a high gloss finish with the entire crayon tube intact that would look so awesome.

  • @SabotPottery
    @SabotPottery 8 лет назад

    I really like the challenges you give yourself, the results are always fascinating. Thanks. I worked with resins for many years and the over heating is always controlled by how much catalyst you put in, if its a cold day you put in more, if its humid and hot day you put in less. No resins should become so hot that it bubbles, as this reduces the strength of the resin. I would try a couple of experiments by halving the catalyst each time until it stops bubbling but still hardens the mix.
    thanks again for the videos you do, I hope this helps. Cheers from Paul from Adelaide, South Australia.
