Hey Edna, I'm a guy, but retired, and actually love all kinds of clay and resin art. I own a kiln and just really enjoying myself on everything. I simply just love the way you absolutely make it sound so easily and especially inexpensive. there is really no reason to be too fusy, I mean aren't we all just to really let ourselves go and be as expressive as we can be. Buying a few things, like the resin, is really kind of expected, but learning from everybody online, like you, helps in so many ways, to be kinda assured that we can do it, and have fun doing it as well. I love it all your doing, please keep making the videos, I will be waching. Thanks Brad

I have an electric neck massager that has two flat massage rollers. Once I have poured my silicone I turn the massager on low and set it on the table for a minute. I’ve found it helps the bubbles rise to the top and pop. Works like a charm.

Using the legos is genius

awesome! I bought some Let's Resin silicon to make a mold, I used an inexpensive plastic food storage box to hold the master and the silicon.... wow! it took two boxes (at $18 each!) and weighs a chunk! these methods are so much more efficient and cost effective. I could have bought several pre-made molds with those dollars. thank you, thank you, thank you!

Thank you so much for this very easy and comfortable video. Your pace and tone mixed with your skill makes it a joy to learn from you. I've been making and seeking resin art for 4 years now but haven't made my own mold yet, but i will now, you've inspired me . Peace

Watching from a very cold and wintery Durban, SA. We've cancelled our beach day this weekend due to the weather, and now I know exactly what we'll be doing. Much love.

I do decorative Concrete as a side-gig and the wife does custom jewellery, so we love working on projects that we both have a shared interest in.

This really helped using multiple methods, took the guess work out of it with good results. Thanks

Nice job :) love the Lego idea… seen that done on another channel too…. The plasticine is great to make moulds with as well… what’s really cool about it is you can use it as models for the moulds too… I needed a border that resembled broken rock for this clock I was making.., so I used plasticine to make it… I used strips of cardboard to create the long box and then pressed the plasticine down into it…. Then I took a bunch of different shaped flat rocks and pressed them down into the plasticine… I removed them and the. Did it again until the entire strip had been used up… it was approximately 4 feet long and a mere 3 inches wide and about a 3/4 inch deep… MUCH cheaper than buying the same rubber stripping on amazon… that bloody thing was over a hundred bucks! I was like, I can make that myself for less than half that price…. Turned out PERFECT…. I love making my own moulds… it’s amazing what you can make with the silicone rubber….
