I don’t mind the bubbles at all but you can use vibrations. If you have one of those small hand held massagers found at most stores like cvs, Walmart, Walgreens etc. when you do the mold put the molds on a piece of thin wood when you pour them.Hold the massager under the wood and move around it vibrates the bubbles to the top. Make sure it’s one of those small massagers. It doesn’t take long and since you are using the longer resin you can come back and go it a couple more times. I much rather do this than hitting my silicone molds with heat which ruins them faster. I can’t say that it works perfectly everytime but it really helps. Love all your things
Micro brushes are good for molds with lots of details to get out bubbles. You do have to be careful on the ones that you brush with powders to not dislodge the powder, but they do still help get out bubbles. These are all gorgeous!
Thank you, I did try mico brushes a couple of times, but I don't think I used them very well, I kept bringing in more bubbles lol. I'll try again more carefully!
Shake the mould back & forth , pick it up & drop it lightly, spray with 100% isopropyl inside but leave it in thecl mould to pop bubbles that come up. The alcohol will not leave a film on the front because no air gets to it. The back might(spray it also) itwon't matter if the alcohol leaves a film. Shaking a mould is better than "painting" the resin in. Your colouring technique is spot on perfection!!!
Love these. I have also been making dinky little items today. It's been very therapeutic. Thank you for sharing, and many thanks for the tip of using tape, I hadn't thought of that ❤
I've found some really cheap and good quality mica powders in The Range if you're UK based. I did a review on those. Otherwise, I'm always searching for some inexpensive pigments. The iridescent one I used in this video is linked in the description from Temu, if interested : ) Very nice and good price.
The wax is oil based and these moulds have a 'dull' surface, so they adhered really well without anything. The wax doesn't work so well on shiny/glossy moulds, I've had to sand and prime those to make the wax stay on.
I cannot get enough of your artwork I love love love love love love your style I too love skulls❤
Honestly your comments made my day, thank you!
Absolutely love these
Thank you : )
I've sat fascinated, almost mesmerized. Turned out wonderful!
Many thanks!

Thanks so much for the suggestion, I will definitely see if any of my local shops have a massager - that's a great idea!
All of these are absolutely beautiful!! Thank you so much for sharing!! God bless!! 🤗
Thank you very much!
I so love those molds. Colours are very nice as well. ❤❤

You are such an incredible artist. The way you layer the waxes gives such depth and interest. Definitely inspiring and I'm learning so much.
Many thanks! I'm still learning but I'm really happy if any of my techniques help others.
We should never stop learning!

Such a cool idea & I love the addition of pigments! Do you have any idea where to get decent, inexpensive pigment powders? I’d appreciate it!!

How do you keep the wax on the resin, doet it need a spray or something just to secure the color?
