This is beautiful! I've been bending my resin a bit but haven't gotten it to bend as far as you have. Getting ready to binge watch! Thanks for the tutorial!
Love it Sue! Yes..the LED lights really make it pop! I just made my second resin sculpture as a commission. :D I did a wave again..because she saw my blue wave and wanted different colors. I lay my mat over a single paper towel roll with the plastic on. It works great for this!
Hi Sue, I am a newbie to resin arts and was looking for a book on Amazon.I found yours but needed to have a look at what you do. Beautiful and I love it. Thankyou.
Oh Sue, this is stunning! I love it!t is so generous, sharing how to do these sculptures. I am in awe. I keep looking for a suitable mat, not found one yet in the UK. I will continue the search.xx
WOW that is so beautiful. I am going to give this a try thank you just love it. I will put fairy lights in the back. what could I use to hold the lights?
Gorgeous!.I Love it!!..Oh my goodness I love your piece, plus you placed LED lights, how cool is that.. I feel the need to try my hand at something like this. I love how my water splash turned out, thanks to your amazing direction and guidance. I just love watching your videos..more please more..lol..
Ha ha, I have some more videos waiting in the wings to be published. I have family over from the UK at the moment, some of which I haven’t seen for 13 years. So there will be a limited number published. 💕
Just subscribed. Thank you so much for taking the time to share your wonderful creations. I love your no nonsense straight to the point demos and yet your results are amazing. will look forward to seeing more of your videos.
Amazing! This is so stinkin' fabulous!!! I pour paint and create in many other ways, but resin scares me! Why? I think you have me at a confidence point where I may give this a try! Thank you!
When I am pushing the stones into the gems into the resin, I am not actually touching the resin. Same when I am dropping the stones on, I don't touch the resin (well most of the time that is).
Oh my gosh absolutely stunning I cant wait to do this and experiment! Just beautiful, I have a ? ' what brand of resin do you use and is it the same resin used for all your beautiful pieces? Thankyou so much for sharing with us, again beautiful art!! D
Your work is amazing and you are so articulate in the middle of creating. Bravo! Can I ask how you would attach about six of these bent forms into a single curved backsplash? Can they get warm enough to merge with adjacent panels or am I better off making a mold? Or could I just use grout? What would you do?
Ooh, that would be a tricky one. Can you form an accurate shape in order to bend your resin around? I would bend aluminium sheets into your desired shape. Then pour your resin into moulds, just like in my video. When semi cured move the resin to your shape to allow it to fully cure. You would have to secure it to the curve to make sure it doesn't move. Once fully cured, I would attach the resin to the metal sheets using more resin (applied with a brush) allow to cure and install the whole piece. Good luck with your project. 💕
Sue Findlay If I did not use an aluminum sheet at all in the final backsplash, could a piece like the one in this video stand on its own over time as a backsplash? It certainly looks solid enough. My backsplash would be visible from both sides, so its near transparency would be a bonus. Thanks in advance for your help!
I just want to tell u how much I inspire to get into resin art! U explain everything in such great detail. I just have too slowly buy my pigments and resin because for now we just live on my husbands disability check until I can get mine. Can u tell me what kind of resin u use? I love love this piece.
Thank you Brenda 💕 I started out with what I could afford and slowly built up my pigments. If you buy quality pigments, they go a long way, so last ages. I buy my resin from U Resin here in Australia, they don't unfortunately, ship overseas, so it is advised that you test brands of resin that are close to you until you find the right one for you.
Hi Sue, This is spectacular! Love it! And your daughter was right, adding the gems gave it just what it needed to gain that elegant 3D effect. Do you HAVE to use a heat-gun or would a torch work? or a blow-dryer? x
To be honest, no idea. I know there has been people working with resin for many years. I myself have only been playing with it for the past two years. Much of what you see on my channel is my experiments with it. 💕
This is a beautiful piece! what are the size of the acrylic diamond shaped gems do you use? and could u use an alternative? I would love to take a chance and make one
Thank you, they range in size from 2mm to 6mm. You can also use crushed glass. I will be publishing another video very soon showing it with crushed glass.
@@SueFindlay Well I wouldn't have thought of that. lol I've been watching your videos. Just genius. I love the way your brain works. Thank you kindly for sharing your work with us.
Just recently stumbled upon your channel and I am enthralled with watching all of your videos! My curiosity is is there any difference between resins? Could I use Stone coat art resin in this application, meaning will it Bend? Heart resin and stone coat resin are about the two most popular resins here in the states and I don't know where to begin meaning I don't know which resin to order and if there's a difference between the resins that you use. You just have me so so intrigued by seeing your amazing work! Your talent is undeniable! Your imagination is just genius. I have not worked with resin a lot other than to resin artwork but would seriously love to try and Bend some resin. Thank you ever so kindly in advance for your answer!
Ms. Findlay, I am a newbie at this and I would love to try to do beautiful pieces like this. It looks like a fun thing to do so please forgive me for all the questions. With regards to "resin" how do I know which resin to use? because there are so many out there.
Katie Diaz hi Katie, I’m a newbie too, but from what I understand, some resins are more easy to breath with - ie don’t require a mask. The one everyone is raving about is by “ArtResin - Clear non toxic Epoxy resin” Next you need some pigments and/or acrylic paints, a heat gun and gloves. All can be found easily on Amazon. Finally, check out Chris Cross (also on RUclips) videos. She explains everything very well too. I hope this helps. Good luck!
Please always wear a respirator when working with resin. Even it says low odour, it doesn’t mean it won’t do you any harm. Err of the side of caution. I always use a respirator, hence why I do voice overs.
Sue this is fabulous 👏👏👏🌟🌟🌟 there’s been a bit of talk recently in various art groups about copying. I don’t know about you but I’ve never managed to copy my own work let alone someone else’s. I’m inspired by many & do my best to acknowledge who that was. What are your thoughts on anyone copying this? I’ve done a very similar piece some time ago using resin & alcohol inks. Well done. ♥️
First of all thank you. In answer to your question, I have no problem with people copying my work in order to learn, we all have to start somewhere. All I ask is that if you have followed one of my videos to create a piece, that you at least give me credit for it, or if they ask you how you do it, you point them in the direction of my video. My aim is to inspire people to create their own masterpieces. I love it when people get a 'lightbulb' moment to fix any issues they might have had and are then able to create new and exciting pieces.
Thanks for your response Sue, I think a lot of artists wouldn’t be as upset provided they were acknowledged. I’ve pointed many in your direction. Love your creativity 🌟♥️
Thank you. I just bent it around the roll of bubble wrap, once cured, i applied some packing tape across the back to hold it in place while it fully hardened (about a week).
This is so beautiful! I saw some comments about placing candles behind it. Is that safe? I read other places about not using open flame with resin products due to fumes & potential for fires. Your thoughts?
You could pour the resin flat like in the video and then mould it around a ball. Note, you wouldn't get a perfectly round shape, as the resin needs to fold and crease in order to take shape. The only way to get a perfect sphere is to pour into a spherical mould.
@@SueFindlay Yeah I've been trying to think of Different items I can use to make a mould.. its for mermaid barbie s ocean castle! Im thinking ocean wave/ exercise ball. Its big its round and i can use all the suggestions available.. as i stumble through ths planning stage
if a cutting tool is used to shape the flames....cut off the white areas.....what do you think of this idea? can it be done without damaging the piece? thanks!
I bought one, still looking. I love that you push the boundaries Sue. Sad that you now live on the other side of the world. Thanks.xx
Thank you 💕
love the colors, you could put a small lamp or candle behind it. wow
Yes, you could 💕
Sooooo beautiful♡♡ all of your work is amazing, and your generosity of sharing your process is awesome ♡♡

Oh Sue, this is stunning! I love it!t is so generous, sharing how to do these sculptures. I am in awe. I keep looking for a suitable mat, not found one yet in the UK. I will continue the search.xx
Have you looked on Amazon, they have a few mats?
I found mine on amazon under swiss roll silicone trays (thanks to Sue)
WOW that is so beautiful. I am going to give this a try thank you just love it. I will put fairy lights in the back. what could I use to hold the lights?
You could use a bit of cello tape to hold them in place.
Another beautiful piece Sue, love it, and love those colors too
Thank you 💕
This is SO totally beautiful! It gives me ideas.
That's why I share, to inspire others to create different things ;-)
Sue Findlay Thank You So Much For Paying It Forward With Your Gift Of Art ;~). I for one appreciate it. So Beautiful!

Soooo glad RUclips recommended you! I’ve been looking for more things to de besides the Geodes. 🥰👍
I am glad you found me too 💕
This is beautiful, have you made anything similar to this that is more of a tube? I'd love to see how the resin works out at sets in this form x
No, I haven't created a tube out of resin. I have attempted to make more of a curve, however, that was a disaster 😂
@@SueFindlay ☺️ think I might have a go, see what it turns out like, if any good I'll post it, thank you for your quick response, stay save x
C'est magique quand on voit ta pièce se construire ..... merci beaucoup !!!!! 💖💖
Je vous remercie 💕
Very pretty ,great idea! If I wasn't wearing gloves id have a bad rash right now. Be careful messing with that resin.
When I am pushing the stones into the gems into the resin, I am not actually touching the resin. Same when I am dropping the stones on, I don't touch the resin (well most of the time that is).
Fabulous Sue!👌And very informative! Thank you..👍

Hi Lilette, it is a sculptural piece. You can place lights behind it to illuminate it. 💕

Hi sue
Really amazed to see your work could you please share the material like what type of color I can use and from where I can get all these stuff
I have listed the products used in the description of the video.

Thank you for your kind comments 💕
Love everything you do!

You have to experiment with your brand of resin. That’s all i do, I experiment then publish how it comes out 💕

Sue, Love your work. You make it look easy, but I'm sure it's not. I really want to try this! What type of resin do you use?
I use Resin from U Resin here in Australia. I know of many people using a variety of resins to create the sculptures and have great success. 💕
Very nice!
Thank you 💕
You mention parcel tape to finish the top and bottom corners . What type of tape is that exactly, and do you put Ana sticky tape on the curing resin?
Parcel tape is just a wide tape that you use to seal boxes before posting. I only use it on the resin when it is cured.

This is so beautiful! I saw some comments about placing candles behind it. Is that safe? I read other places about not using open flame with resin products due to fumes & potential for fires. Your thoughts?
I don't recommend placing candles on or near resin. I only ever encourage the use of LED lights for safety reasons.
@@SueFindlay Thanks! I didn't think so, but wanted to double check.
ابداع مستمر
Do you think that I could use an exercise shaped ball as a exterior mold with your pouring method ?
You could pour the resin flat like in the video and then mould it around a ball. Note, you wouldn't get a perfectly round shape, as the resin needs to fold and crease in order to take shape. The only way to get a perfect sphere is to pour into a spherical mould.
@@SueFindlay Yeah I've been trying to think of Different items I can use to make a mould.. its for mermaid barbie s ocean castle! Im thinking ocean wave/ exercise ball. Its big its round and i can use all the suggestions available.. as i stumble through ths planning stage
Ilobe your work , piece of art ❤
Thank you 💕
Waaaaaaaa waaaaaaa waaaaaaa OMG ART 🥰🥰🥰🥰
if a cutting tool is used to shape the flames....cut off the white areas.....what do you think of this idea? can it be done without damaging the piece? thanks!
If you are careful you should be able to do it. You will have to sand the edges and as a result, it may need extra polishing.
@@SueFindlay Thank you, I understand what you stated. Great fun!!!
