Could This Finally Be What Creates BLACK Aqua Cast??
Since I first started playing with Aqua Cast, I've been trying to find a pigment that will turn it black. Not gray, but actually black. I started by testing the many, many colorants and pigments I already have in the werkroom, with varying degrees of success -- the best being black acrylic paint, but it would seize up the Aqua Cast mixture so it would no longer pour nicely into a mold... After going through all that, I finally wised up and decided to seek out a pigment specifically for concrete or plaster. And that led me to this Marblers Jet Black Extra Strength color pigment for concrete, grout, cement, etc. So this is what I'm testing in this video, along with a couple fun new micas from SolarColorDust.com (10% discount code: luxinda). Let's just say that the black and holo gods laughed and laughed and laughed.

Using a Paper Marbling Kit with Aqua Cast??
Переглядів 361Рік тому
After watching a recent Louise Singleton video ( ua-cam.com/video/hLP-pgoIc8k/v-deo.html ), I knew I had to give marbling onto Aqua Cast a try I mean the title of her video even says I have to! I grabbed a paper marbling kit that I've used before (here: ua-cam.com/video/RB2SaGrxRuM/v-deo.html and here: ua-cam.com/video/GubBGFFk6BY/v-deo.html ), swirled some paints and dipped some Aqua Cast blan...

Will Colored UV Resin Show Up in Rain Drop Method??

After first seeing this dew-drop or rain-drop effect demonstrated by Rae over at www.youtube.com/@RaesTurquoiseTurtle I started to see it showing up on other YT channels showing off different twists or variations of the technique. Those have all been fun to watch, and I started to wonder if using pre-colored UV resin would make any sort of difference or even be noticeable at all in the finished...
Outline Markers, Snails, and a Gel Plate: Why Not?!
Переглядів 220Рік тому
Ever since I first saw these outline markers online, I've wanted to see what would happen if I used them on a gel plate. Would they even leave a mark on gelatin? Would they just bead up like alcohol inks do? If they made a mark, would it pull up off the gel plate? And so on... So here we are, trying to find the answers to those questions and more! The black acrylic paint gods laughed and laughe...
We Answered A Question & Still Get Our Mushrooms!

In my ongoing quest to try and find a way to color Aqua Cast black, I stumbled across some very intense fluid pigment from Pebeo, so I'm giving that a try in this video. Just to make sure we get a nice outcome even if the fluid pigment doesn't work, I also grabbed my chameleon micas from Alexes and a wonderful Zuri mold called Fairytale Mushrooms. The results are magical! MERCH!! Get it here: b...
Is It Sealing Wax or Is It Hot Glue??

Playing with sealing wax, different seals, and metallic waxes, then testing how well a hot glue gun can provide an adequate sealing "wax" seal.

I would love to be more experienced at the task of bleaching t-shirts for sublimation. Honestly, I still need more practice at it, as you'll clearly see in this video.

I saw an ad for this easy-to-make fabric bowl online somewhere and thought it might make a fun project to do, right? How hard could it be?? Bahahahaha! Well, I found out that it may be very simple for other folks, but apparently not for me. On the other hand, I am glad I gave it a go, and I'm also very glad I don't have a sewing machine or I would have been tempted to put a LOT more effort into...

For the reasons I go into in this video, I haven't used a colored pencil since I was about 9-10 back in the late '60s/early /'70s (yes, I'm that f-ing old), and recently I have heard a number of other arts/crafts folks rave about colored watercolor pencils, soooo I finally decided it was time to put my traumatic childhood experience behind me and once again pick up some colored pencils.

I recently saw this particular video on VMD Designs' channel, and she foiled a waterslide, and then used it on a tumbler.

However, having seen this other creator's success, I really wanted to try again, using @ArtisticPaintingStudio transfer foils. For those of you who don't know, ...
