It just boggles my mind that you do so very well when you are color blind. I forget sometimes while watching you. I laughed today when you said you didnt really know what colors you were using. Great job.
Thank you!💕 especially thank you for the encouragement at the end… And throughout. Your kind words encouraged a couple tears. It’s an emotional day and I watch you so often, so it’s like you’re a part of my life. Lol I tried making blooms last night in earring molds. I’m looking forward to trying again today. Again I thank you! 🌸
Thank you for your kind words! Sometimes it's not easy to go on with the resin. But you are so right. Never give up, because we all have the same problems and make mistakes. And then sometimes it turns out perfect 😊
Thank you so much for being humble and admitting that the results are not always perfect. It's encouraging me to keep going on resin art! I really love it, and the easy way that you explain and share your personal opinions:)
They came out lovely! I would have had trouble with those colours. I am red/blue colour blind like my dad was. One time when my mum was in hospital she asked me to make sure daddy had the right colour tie to go with his lilac shirt for church. Me and dad ended up in stitches cos we hadn’t a clue which one went with it! 🤣🤣🤣
You do beautiful artwork, I also watch Julie her channel is pouring your heart out she also does beautiful blooms on her coasters, thank you so much for sharing your beautiful work with us.
nice - thank you for those awesome words - every now & then we all need to hear them - Thank you so much & you are very awesome to do the videos for all of us
Thank you for making this look o easy and for explaining that it IS A HIT OR MISS. I’ve just started trying these blooms and they all have looked pretty good but they need a little more perfecting. I enjoy your channel and appreciate the short videos. I am so tired of watching 45min-1 hour videos for techniques.
These came out beautiful. I love that you show all on your channel. I can’t get to your membership on my iPhone so I’m going to have to purchase you a coffee for all your amazing work on here.
Lovely, lovely lovely encouragement!! Thank you so very much. I’m always apprehensive about resin, but I really do appreciate its beauty. I think I will give it another go or two.
Great video ☺️ it's the first time I've seen the flower blooms done with mica rather than alcohol inks and I was wondering how they would turn out...thanks to you I can see they work great 🤩 Definitely going to try some myself now then they won't fade as quickly as the alcohol ink ones do ☺️
I've watched some of your videos and am subscribed, but I had NO idea you are color blind! That's really cool that you do art. I teach art classes and have had a few folks say they couldn't do something because they're color blind. I can also teach blind folks, but they usually don't participate (my ex mother in law was blind and I taught her to drive ... in a parking lot of course.) My current husband is the nephew of the person on which the blind guy that drove in the movie "Do you See what I Hear" was based ... and was the one who actually drove a drunk brother and his friends home because he was the only sober one, yet was completely blind. Many folks don't know that was a true story. Actually got pulled over because he was driving too slowly. I understand blind as well as color blind. How would you personally go about convincing folks that even though they have a condition that others think is a "disability", they can certainly do art?
You are my biggest supporter and I just love what you say about not ever letting yourself get you down for screwing something up. I’m always so hard on myself and find myself stopping for days at a time when I spend all that time in making things to add req up something and having everything come out looking like a mistake 😞 but listening to you always gets me going again and you always manage to send my butt right back to my crafting chair. Thank you kindly. You’re my absolute favourite person on RUclips. ❤
Great job! I am new at this, but I have found I love doing it. I'm differently new at this time thing. It is a good idea to do a voice-over as you have done. Because the sound on mine is so good because of the air conditioner in my room plus I use the respirator. 😊
These are really lovely again Steve, even the one you're not happy with has it's own charm. Really interesting to see the different effects from just small differences
this is why I love your videos, you are so honest about everything. I CONSTANTLY beat myself up for failing at things and wondering why I bother, it's so nice to be reminded sometimes that I don't have to be perfect. xx
Hey, thanks so much for your encouraging words. I’m kinda new to resin, and have had a few major disappointments trying to make 3D blooms. I’ll not be giving up though!
Thank you I needed to hear those words at the end🙏 I just started working with resin (3 bookmarks lol) and they weren’t perfect but pretty good for my first try. So I’ll keep at it and u are an inspiration!
Beautiful! Steve, don't sell yourself short!! These are just wow. I loved all of them. The colors are perfect. The last one you didn't like is like a fantasy flower. Kinda there but not. It's perfect. Thanks for sharing 😊🌺
HI Steve, WOW I thought you 3 coasters turned out really super cool looking I loved them good on you Steve for giving it a go 👍 & thank you for your Complete honesty saying you don’t always get it right very much appreciated Steve, I was just wondering Could you do a video showing how you made your white thanks all the best Lin 👍✨🦋
That first one you unfolded came out sooo nicely! Well done Steve. Thank you for being so supportive of other resiners. Showing you successes along with your failures, nicely done! God bless you and yours Steve.
I really appreciate the positivity. When I started doing resin bowls, they weren't very good, but as I continued, they got much better! So now I'm getting requests for them! I just sent one to Iowa, but I must not have packaged it good enough because it broke on the way there. Luckily, I had insured it!
You're spot on Steve, I think these 3 look great but ya, I can attest that this process is not perfect results each time. Good work and have a great day
I think those turned out wonderful! Especially the purple and white first one you demolded. It's my favorite although they are all very pretty. I'm partial to purple!
Thank you for showing that even when you are good at something things don't always come out as planned. Of course, I'm not good at resin yet, and nothing comes out as planned, but I keep trying. You are my inspiration.
Another great video Steve, thank you 🥰 and thank you for those lovely words, I’m on a bit of a downer resin wise at the moment, nothing seems to be working out how I want it to 😅 but now I kinda want to try these 🤗
I finally got some to do right and of course I messed it up by putting mica powder on the mold so all you really see is the powder☹️ but I did what you just did so I’m doing it again.
You need to look up Julie Cutts with Pouring Your Heart Out. She is Ms. Perfection with things, especially these blooming flowers. It works best with small amounts of color and the temperature of the resin.
After watching several people attempt to do these, they all seem to have the best results by putting the white on last, white is always heavier and blooms when heated, so needs to be on top. I think thats why your first one was the best one, there was no colour on top of the white to interfere with the blooming technique. They still all came out really nice though, I really don't know how you manage being colour blind, must make it hard, do you ask anyone before you commit to the colours, just in case.
I love your videos, Steve! It's good to see those that don't come out perfectly as well. I have been trying this technique and to date haven't had success with it. I've got a pile of coasters I'm not sure what to do with. So I'd like to know, what do you do with your "duds"?
Do you have to wait for the resin in the mold to thicken up before you put in the centerpiece glitter so it doesn’t sink to the bottom, I saw another video stated that, I was just wondering if it matters.
These turned out really nice! I wasn’t clear in the beginning when you were mixing the colours, did you mix the colours and glitter in the resin and hardener combined? Or was it just in the resin part only?
Did you mix colour with resin only or with resin+hardner. And did you pour resin only in the moulds or resin+ hardner. I am trying but am not able to make
I am new to Resin and I am trying to understand the process. You mixed the mica into separate bowls but which part did you use? A or B? To be clear, those in the piping bags were never mixed with both A & B? I am looking forward to your reply, thank you.
I’m sick of failing my blooms. I follow everything, like temperature control before decanting resin. I put the heating on, I measure the white pastes I. Drop per 10 grams. Tried castin craft, just resin and let’s resin pastes, you name it and I’ve done it. Still my blooms come out a bit like scales. Just weird. I’m so sad I just don’t know how to do them.😩
It just boggles my mind that you do so very well when you are color blind. I forget sometimes while watching you. I laughed today when you said you didnt really know what colors you were using. Great job.
S 0:42 0:43 0:43
Right. I forget all the time, until he mentions it. It boggles my mind. I truly wonder how many famous artists are actually colored blind
I love your attitude, makes me feel better about all my mistakes, thank you for teaching me a new method xoxo
Thank you!💕 especially thank you for the encouragement at the end… And throughout. Your kind words encouraged a couple tears. It’s an emotional day and I watch you so often, so it’s like you’re a part of my life. Lol I tried making blooms last night in earring molds. I’m looking forward to trying again today.

I like them all. The purple n white 💜 is my fav 😍 💜
Resin sites seem to have a mind of its own doesn't it
Thank you for your kind words! Sometimes it's not easy to go on with the resin. But you are so right. Never give up, because we all have the same problems and make mistakes. And then sometimes it turns out perfect 😊
Thank you so much for being humble and admitting that the results are not always perfect. It's encouraging me to keep going on resin art! I really love it, and the easy way that you explain and share your personal opinions:)

Beautiful! Yes, it was purple and red. 🙂 What is the big RED mica powder? it’s Gorgeous!!!
Aaaaawwwwwww so pretty!!!! Love the purple and white one... They all are pretty though!

Great tutorial! Beautiful outcome! Thank you for sharing! Have a fabulous day from Slovenia!
I don’t think these are hit or miss… these are all gorgeous! Really great idea. Thanks for sharing.

nice - thank you for those awesome words - every now & then we all need to hear them - Thank you so much & you are very awesome to do the videos for all of us
I really want to try the 4 hour resin, I have learned so much from your channel, I love that you explain every step in simple terms, so thank you.
Thank you!! Last night I hated resin and was ready to throw it all away!!!! It can be so frustrating!!! Your work is amazing!!
Thank you for making this look o easy and for explaining that it IS A HIT OR MISS. I’ve just started trying these blooms and they all have looked pretty good but they need a little more perfecting. I enjoy your channel and appreciate the short videos. I am so tired of watching 45min-1 hour videos for techniques.
I just love how we share such excitement for glitter! Always makes me smile. Love your tutorials. Stay awesome xx
These came out beautiful. I love that you show all on your channel. I can’t get to your membership on my iPhone so I’m going to have to purchase you a coffee for all your amazing work on here.
They look like dahlias :) my fave is the one that is purple and white… gorgeous ❤️🌈❤️🌈

absolutely love the purple and white one
Thank you so much! I've been struggling with the bloom, and it's so discouraging. Think I'll try again, again, and again. Love your videos!
They look good love the purple and white 😘🥰
Yet another Awesome video Steve Mcdonald

Thank you Steve for your kind words ❤
Hey Steve! Texas here! Lol. Try a round black card stock to put behind your flower coaster to make it pop. Love your channel. Debs from Texas
Great job! I am new at this, but I have found I love doing it. I'm differently new at this time thing. It is a good idea to do a voice-over as you have done. Because the sound on mine is so good because of the air conditioner in my room plus I use the respirator. 😊

Thank you Steve, I've tried this technique a few times and failed everytime 😆 I might give it another go now
I thin this point is genus , definitely on my next list
I watched just now after an epic resin fail. Timing couldn’t have been better to hear words of encouragement! Thank you for your videos!❤
They turned out lovely 😍
You are so awesome! Thanks for the words of encouragement! I love your work!
Oh my gosh these are sooooo gorgeous!!!!!! I haven't had luck using alcohol inks so I can't wait to try this!!!!!!

Love your video’s . They have helped a lot.
Gosh these are gorgeous! I've been subbed for awhile and I'm shocked that you are colorblind, you are such a good artist!
This is an amazing technique and your results are great! Thank you Steve 😊 for sharing this with us!
They are very pretty
Thank you for showing that even when you are good at something things don't always come out as planned. Of course, I'm not good at resin yet, and nothing comes out as planned, but I keep trying. You are my inspiration.
These are great ! Thanks so much ❤
They all turned out really nice, my favourite is the one with most white - the first one you de-molded, really pretty Thanks Steve
Ur awesome gotta love ya. And everything u said sooo true and thanku
Love them all.
I was amazed at the results. Beautiful.
Thank you for the videos, Steve, they are really helpful!
This technique looks so fun to try out!
Another great video Steve, thank you 🥰 and thank you for those lovely words, I’m on a bit of a downer resin wise at the moment, nothing seems to be working out how I want it to 😅 but now I kinda want to try these 🤗
The piping bag would make great resin carrots
Absolutely beautiful! Thank you@
Do you have a video on making your titanium padte
Ooo good can’t wait to see it. 😁😁😁
@@SteveMcDonaldArtsandCrafts CANNOT WAIT!!!
Thank you for those words at the end. I’m just about to give up because non of my efforts so far have been successful. I’ll carry on a bit longer!
I finally got some to do right and of course I messed it up by putting mica powder on the mold so all you really see is the powder☹️ but I did what you just did so I’m doing it again.
You need to look up Julie Cutts with Pouring Your Heart Out. She is Ms. Perfection with things, especially these blooming flowers. It works best with small amounts of color and the temperature of the resin.
Two out of three ain't bad.
Do you think powder is better for the white than white ink for this?
After watching several people attempt to do these, they all seem to have the best results by putting the white on last, white is always heavier and blooms when heated, so needs to be on top. I think thats why your first one was the best one, there was no colour on top of the white to interfere with the blooming technique.

Mica pigments?

These turned out really nice! I wasn’t clear in the beginning when you were mixing the colours, did you mix the colours and glitter in the resin and hardener combined? Or was it just in the resin part only?
Ive searched for the video where you make the titanium white but can't find it!
I have made flowers with UV resin in water. Can this also be done with the longer time to cure resin?
Did you mix colour with resin only or with resin+hardner. And did you pour resin only in the moulds or resin+ hardner. I am trying but am not able to make
I am new to Resin and I am trying to understand the process. You mixed the mica into separate bowls but which part did you use? A or B? To be clear, those in the piping bags were never mixed with both A & B? I am looking forward to your reply, thank you.
Watch Pouring Your Heart Out. She blooms too!
I love all three, and they make a beautiful set!
Question: is there a video about how you make your white paste?
So true when disasters happen...one really loses hope. My alphabet has gone 😢tacky as I had done the top coat. Any remedy for the same?
🙏
❤❤❤❤
I’m sick of failing my blooms. I follow everything, like temperature control before decanting resin. I put the heating on, I measure the white pastes I. Drop per 10 grams.

Please please rookie here. How can I insert a photo of my doggie who died 2 days ago?
