Those bowls are gorgeous Steve. I have been making pots for my succulents out of polymer clay, I hadn't considered using resin because it's so expensive but adding the sand or salt to it would reduce what I need to use. Thank you for the inspiration!
The blue one reminds me of enamelware, the other is very colourful, love them. I have used tangerine coloured sand in jewelry with champagne coloured foil, very pretty. I made a little scene inside a shell using tangerine sand and little shells, must have used 10 layers of UV resin to get that depth I wanted. I’m not sure what critter lived in it but I do know it wasn’t a clam. Your channel is fun to watch, love your enthusiasm.
I love these. A lot succulents are rock dwellers. And they like to be in confined spaces. Tuck some Big stones in between them or even broken pottery. I make these but I try to approach it like I'm making a little miniature habitat for them.
Thank you for the advice, these are mostly soil dwelling, as for some reason I just can’t keep the ones that like rocky areas alive? I really don’t have green fingers Lol. More like killer thumbs to plants. Haha
@@SteveMcDonaldArtsandCrafts it's not you Steve, it's where you live. The UK climate often isn't favorable. Just ask the guys who try to grow the stuff that you're not allowed to grow. It's rough over there.
I was surprised that they came out shiny! I thought they'd be textured. Cool idea. I really love the multicolor sand bowl, but the blue is very elegant.
Those bowls turned out beautiful! ❤ How did I miss seeing you use the Epson Salt?! Brilliant! I got the bowl mold myself. Want to put some abalone in my & use resin succulents in mine for those like me who want pretty things but has absolutely no green thumb. Lol 😊 Beautiful Steve. ❤
I love what you did with the plants! I've had some luck pouring some resin first, then adding the salt, layering until it's full, so there's even coverage. Caveat- this works with very thin resin, as thicker resin can hold more bubbles. I like thin resins but they come with their own set of pros and cons. This is just one of the pros.
❤ I love these! I really need to try this method myself. I especially love the Epson salt one and, the fact that you need so much less resin to accomplish the final result. Another winner Steve. ❤
❤ Great looking bowls and so interesting what you used. That was so much fun to watch and I love all your interesting comments as you work. Thank you. M in USA NH
Great video Steve as always. I Love these bowls. What a great idea putting succulents in them. Would love to see you do a video on taking cuttings from the plants. I’m not greened fingered but would like to learn how to do this xx
Very nice tutorial.. the bowls look awesome and make wonderful pots..I like the extra teaching on the plants also.. resin and plants...my favourite ❤😊 blessings from Australia 🦘🦘🦘
Love these so much, I haven't been using resin for long but I have found myself saying squidgy widgy in my head regularly, now I have 2 new things to add lol
Thank you Steve, for the knowledge and courage to experiment! I have wondered about doing this with crushed limestone or rock to make planters for y succulents.
I would 100% buy a T-shirt with "Give it a Squidgy Widgey!!" on it LOL That's an amazing merch idea xD Your Teexpert kit seems to be out of stock on Amazon, I've followed the link on the last 2 videos and haven't managed to catch it in stock :( The sand bowl looks like a ceramic dish, that's so pretty! My favourite is the salt one because I'm bias to purple-blue AND it looks like some kind of agate or crystal! GORGEOUS project, really stunning outcome, love those mini gardens, they remind me of the zen gardens that you can buy! So calming and relaxing to have them near to your crafting space, love a little spot of nature right next to me :D Another fantastic video Steve! Thanks so much for sharing with us :D
You should try adding little bits of broken, colored, mirrored glass. They sell it at craft and home stores to put in table decorations. It would look phenomenal in your soap dishes.
I used to luv working in my flower beds. I had an nn ice plant that was my fav of those kind. It grew way bigger than the info said it was going to. It had bright pink n bright orange. I just might have to grow some in a green house and sell them like this. Such great ideas Steve
I have wondered if you could place resin in the other side of the mould and make compartments to put in the bowl. Love watching your channel (have watched several videos multiple times). Your videos are very informative and relaxing.
Brilliant! I am definitely going to try the epson salts. Great to save on expensive resin and it looks fantastic, too. Thank you for making these videos.
I love the effects you’ve created. This is something we could do with smaller amounts of the epsom and/or sand to help save some on resin in projects, yes?
I ABSOLUTELY LOVE watching you, Steve❤ I am very excited to give these a try 👏👏👍! I’m just trying to find the exact resin you’re using as I’ve had major difficulties with other deep pour brands I have tried….unsuccessfully 🙁. Thank you for sharing all of your ‘experiments’ and giving us artists some wonderful tips❣️ Have a very blessed day🥰
they turned out beautiful! I love the Epsom salt effect. I have a similar mold with the narrow walls, I push down the middle of the bottom close to the edge , instead of pulling the sides out, to fill it. when released the mold pushes the resin into the outer wall. Not explaining that very well, sorry. 🤔

Polymer clay is so expensive here in South Africa!
My pleasure happy to inspire and help 😀😀😀

These are great! Ive used sand before but wasnt sure how much less resin the use. This is very helpful. Thanks
Ideal for bonsai xx
Those bowls are amazing! My favorite is the one with Epsom salt. It's one of my favorite colors.
Beautiful job..❤
WOW I never knew you could mix sand in the resin what a cool and beautiful idea 😍
I love the bowls made with sand and salt! They are truly beautifully made. Gives me an idea of how to make some of my resin arts look amazing!🤩
Reminded of the game Simon I played with as a child😊
Beautiful!!
every time I watch stuff you do I am wowed
The bowls turned out beautiful!
Thank you
Beautiful 😍
those came out great. I like both of them. the plants really make them.
😲. I have lots of Let's Resin molds and never realize they have the volume on them. I'm just waiting for payday to buy this mold 😊.
Steve, you are always fun to watch and so informative. ❤❤❤
Love this!!!
Thank you for showing this. I love those bowl molds.
both beautiful

Love your ideas. How do you clean your mixing silicon molds.
I now use big wipes, I link them in a lot of videos. They clean everything and keep them lovely and soft, without scratching
Now these I really like! So pretty...Nice job!
Wow those bowls came out so beautiful thank you for sharing this. I would have never thought of either sand or epson salt in resin.
They are so beautiful! Very cool techniques. Thank you for sharing ❤

How cute would a bowl with love hearts look with rosette succulents.
