Sand & Sea Resin Art - “How I Did It” - #epoxyart #resinart #epoxyoceanart

Custom built - epoxy resin finished serving board - "How I Did It"
Переглядів 3155 місяців тому
In this "How I Did It" video, I walk you through the process of creating a custom built, resin finished, "under counter" pullout serving board for my clients. They had originally approached me about refinishing their existing board, but as I'd guessed, it was just too grungy to work with. Recreating it was the best solution! The entire process took several hours over the course of a few days to...
Epoxy Resin Plant Stand (top) - test piece for a bigger project
Переглядів 3925 місяців тому
Having recently been approached by my clients to do a custom resin finished piece, I needed to do a sample board. Partly to work out my method, but also to get the client’s approval before beginning their piece. What better way to do this than to practice on a project that I had sitting around for “someday”. This is my “how I did it” video of the sample piece. I’ll be featuring that client’s pi...

Never waste “leftover” resin! Try this… (Bamboo Canister Lids)
Переглядів 9836 місяців тому
Have you ever mixed up a ton of resin for a bigger project, only to find you didn't need or use it all? Yep, happens to me all the time! I never want to come up short during my pour. But... Ugh! All that leftover resin. What do you do with it? Such a waste to toss it away! Well... Dont! With a little planning before your bigger pour, you can use ALL of your resin. Sometimes, when I'm doing a co...

Resin Poured Countertop - “The Mitch Quist Twist”

Ok… here’s my version of the new roller technique Mitch Quist from Stone Coat Epoxy just posted recently. I did mine with a bit more blending between colors. Wow, what a fun technique. It’s so versatile depending on the sizes of pools of color, and how much you blend. Can’t wait to try another pour like this! I’ve just sent some pics to my client and she LOVES the result, yaaaay! This will be t...

This epoxy pour is from a few years back. A client approached me to design, fabricate and pour a surface for a beautiful antique wine table base he’d acquired.

OMG, I have never been on the edge of my seat watching a video! Amazing. Congrats!!
Haha, it was like that creating it, too! 😆 Thank you so much!!
you are a perfectionist and clearly passionate which is why the final result is world class :)
I truly appreciate that compliment, thank you very much! 💞
Beautiful job!!!!
Thank you so much, I really appreciate your compliment!
The dimples and fish eye spot was because of the towel paper you passed before the flood coat. It left particles of the towels on it
I understand why you’d say this, but I have now had this problem with this particular product on several other projects where I did not use paper toweling before doing the flood coat. It is something else with this product. Not a reliable top coat.
So inspirational ❤
Thank you, I very much appreciate that!
I like your voice, so I think speaking as you go, rather than writing, would be better. We would get to see your piece rather than squinting through the writing to see it. STUNNING RESULTS.
Thank you so much! That really means a lot to me. 💕 I’ve always but a bit self-conscious about speaking and being on camera, but now that I have pushed myself through my discomfort (since making this video), I have made it a goal to re-make this video with me speaking! Your comment has fueled the urgency to get it done!! Thanks, again
Absolutely love the interplay and flow of the colours.
Leaving a bespoke comment for your bespoke countertop. Enjoy this bespoke weather and have a bespoke day ❤
Thanks for that! Bespoken like a true original! 😄
I know this is an old video but I was wondering if there is color under the cellophane or if it's just white. I've watched your videos for a very long time and always hoped you would do more. I'm so excited you are making more video's because I always looked forward to watching them. Thank you so much for sharing, your work is stunning! 😊
Hi Tammy 😃 First, your question. No color, I just adhered it to the surface as you see it. Second, wow! Thank you so much. That is so encouraging! Indeed, I have wanted to (and have finally started to) post more content. Unfortunately, life got in the way. That said, as you have observed, I’m finally back to it, yaaaay! I’ve got lots of projects lined up and will be filming as much as possible! Thank you so much for being an admirer of my work and encouraging me to keep offering more of what I do. It really means a lot! 💖
That turned out beautiful. I like how you used several individual colors, and then put a dirty pour in with it. I'm going to try your technique on my next piece. Keep posting your work, it is very inspiring!
Thank you so much for your kind remarks. 💖 Yes, it created an excellent result I was very happy with! I hope you’ll share when you try yours! If you aren’t a member, hop on over to my FB group: facebook.com/share/VJe1twpEP2L1ofYp/?mibextid=K35XfP I sure plan to keep posting, I’m so pleased it inspired you, and thanks, again!!
Beautiful design! Thanks for the inspiration 😊
My pleasure 😊and thank you so much!
Simply beautiful, well planned and well executed.
Thank you very much!
That’s rad ! Very nice ….
Getting the wave blow out, but just a small one is so difficult for me. I might not be using the right epoxy!
💯 I’m sure I make some stupid faces when doing the intricate detail work. 😅
Right? 😆
Should've done the chairs and tables base in gold. Black is too harsh
It’s what the client wanted. The table base and chairs in black. It worked very well with the decor in their dining room. Everyone’s taste is different. I appreciate your opinion. Thanks for watching!.
Your work is always so beautiful!! This piece is no exception…it’s stunning!!
Aw, thank you! I really appreciate your compliment. 💖
Looks amazing
Stunning!
Fabulous!!
Thank you 🙏
What an amazing video montage that demonstrates your artistic talent and eye for detail in the way you created this painting. Beautifully shot closeup footage and still frames too. It’s an incredibly organic and natural looking countertop that reminds me of abalone. ❤
Not so easy to sit through when I didn’t know what for, and I’m impatient. Lovely colors and cells!
Thank you! I realize I didn’t make what these actually are very clear in the video. My apologies. I did post it in the description. I also should have included a pic of them in place on the actual canisters. 🤦♀️ My bad! They are bamboo lids for ceramic canisters. Thanks for sticking it out!
beautiful work... but I also would like to know what they are for (the small ones); you mention "caps" ... are they mason jar caps or ? but I love them :)oops, should've read first... geode slices for coasters, bottle caps, crystals and ceramic tile magnets... :)
Thank you! I realize I didn’t make what these actually are very clear in the video. My apologies. It was all in the description. I also should have included a pic of them in place on the canisters. 🤦♀️ My bad! Glad you figured it out.
What are they for?
Would love to see the video of the larger piece, but can’t find it.
I’m a workin’ on it! 😁
Oh so beautiful! Can't wait to see the video of the large piece. 😍
This was amazing, do you have a video of how you did it and what products you used
Thank you so much! It has taken me some time to learn this video process (lighting, filming, editing, oy! 😆) but I am learning and working on getting more “how to” content posted. I appreciate your patience until then 🙏 and please watch for the answers to your questions, soon!
Hey there, until I get a new closeup process video made, did you happen to see this one? ua-cam.com/video/1HE2kQtYgwo/v-deo.htmlsi=6AkzXTjClG9isUDe I do several different colors and types of boards in the ocean style.
So beautiful!
How long did this actually take you to pour this?
Thank you! 😊
I created this a couple years ago, but typically, once I have the substrate prepared (live edge, if there is one, sanded and primed, etc), for the actual resin work like this, I’ll work on it from 1 to almost 2 hours, depending on the cure rate of the brand I’m using and how far I can push it.
So u poured alcohol directly in water or resin?
Not enough time to read anything End result is absolutely beautiful!
I know, I’m so sorry. It was early days of video making for me. All I can suggest is to pause the video. I hope to remake it with voiceover, at some point, if I can carve out some time. Your compliment is much appreciated, thank you!
Breathtaking!
Thank you very much. I wish you could see it in person. Always difficult to capture the true beauty of this work through the camera lens!
Gorgeous!!!!
Thank you so much! 😊
Dang! Amazing ❤
What do you charge for something like this?
Being 100% built from scratch; original design, bespoke powder coated steel frame, custom epoxy poured base design, hand painted ink design, epoxy clear coat and protective finish, $8000. I can work over an existing table for substantially less cost!
It’s honestly stunning
Beautiful work. I wish I could do more here. I’ve already done my own countertops
👍💓!!
Thanks so much!
Please answer this question… did the colors hold up or fade? I haven’t so many that faded within weeks and I want to build one but don’t want to waste my time and money for it to fade out quickly I mean I absolutely love your project but before I begin I’m trying to see if it holds up or not?? Thank you for posting
According to my client, it’s holding up great! I did quite a few layers of UV protection, as its light (with its UV rays) that fades the ink. That, and for some reason, epoxy just seems to “eat up” purple ink/pigment, so these colors had to be super sealed! If you are worried about facing, I’d highly recommend doing a sample board, with all the steps and give it a good long test run before diving into a costly project. Best to you!
It is absolutely stunning but it was also before applying the ink. I don’t really understand why you apply the ink on top. Why not either one look or the other?
Thank you! Trust me, I LOVED the pre-ink golden marble! There were a lot of reasons I did that finish as a first layer. The ink pattern was her desired look. It’s a little hard to see it in photos, but since the inks are transparent, the iridescent marbled patterns shine through the ink. So pretty and much richer than just a flat white base. Hopefully that answers your question. 😁
ITS SO BEAUTIFUL!! BUT I HEARD THAT ALCOHOL INK FADES ☹
Stunning 😍
To not be scratched 😊
What top coat you use for the epoxy to be scratched?
Hi, right, “not” scratched. 😁 I don’t. I recommend only to “serve” on charcuterie boards. They are not “cutting boards” and not meant to cut on. No abrasives or “scrubbies” should be used to clean, just a soft cloth (microfiber is great) and a little dish soap, if needed. Used as recommended, the epoxy is quite durable.
Thanks, I’m appreciate and I like your job very much!!
Amazingly beautiful! 😊
What type of wood do you use ?
Hi, mostly olive. It’s my favorite due to the beautiful grain and live edges. But I also create on bamboo, acacia, pine, and other woods.
BEAUTIFUL Do you have the video showing HOW TO do the Opal?
Thank you! Let me check if I did film that part. I was just getting started and VERY new to creating content! If I can find it, I will post it and notify you. 👍
@@AlchemyArtisanWorks Thank you so much
I found a good chunk of it and just doing a little editing. I’ll let you know when I get it uploaded. 😁
@@AlchemyArtisanWorks Thank You... Can't wait.
Well, dang! It was the video you just watched. I am so sorry. :( Perhaps I can do a short video (WITH voiceover) on a sample board, demonstrating how to do the cellophane. I shall put it on my To-Do list!
SOOOOOOO BEAUTIFUL "YOU GO GIRL" I'm so Proud of YOU!!!
