Well I couldn't choose a favorite. They were all great and very beautiful. I just love how Nicole and you work together on the projects and you calling her "Doll" is so fantastic and it shows how much you mean to each other.. the spheres are very creative and gorgeous. Can't wait to see the next projects. Happy days!😂❤😅😊
Thankyou 😊
I'm really enjoying you having Nicole on more. Y'all are so cute together!
WOW! On that 3rd one...with the crack in it .. what a HAPPY ACCIDENT! Im in live with that piece! 😍❤️🔥
That was a bit of a missed opportunity to make a joke about casting the doggo in resin, lol
I don’t think that’s a funny joke, tbh.
I would like to see you make the Arkenstone gem from the Hobbit. Seems like the dichroic film would would be perfect for this. Since the book describes its as a gem of a thousand facets that shown with its own inner light Maybe some kind of LED light molded inside? With your artistic genius I’d love to see what you could come up with.
Great video. You're a really fun couple. I couldn't choose a favourite they're all awesome.
Little Luna is so adorable ❤
Thankyou
Take a shot every time they say "Hey"
I would be sloshed!
😂 I told Nicole we gotta stop that
„This is the one I used to make the universe.“
Ben our Lord and Saviour 😄
Nice work, as always!
I'm having a hard time deciding between the biggest and the smallest which one is my favorite. Awesome job!
Amazing as always! Wonder what would happen if you put that paper through a paper shredder and then packed it in a ball with resin, the shredded particles might look like opal.
They're all gorgeous, but i think the big one is my favorite 😍 I like the magnification and glass effect it has
Ermagawd A CUTE PUPPY
I like the idea so much... but the "faulty" one is the best. Looks bloody amazing mate. Its nice to see your boss involved too!
When Luna was watching the sanding, I swear she's thinking, "why are they petting that and not me?"
These would be cool put and shaped like a diamond or cyristal.
I like the brightness of the small one but the look of the medium one.
Could you take the long pieces and run them along the edge of your scissors and curl them? How about cutting it like confetti? I kinda like them all. You guys rock!
Thankyou, yeah that would be cool
They are all so amazing and beautiful ❤
These turned out amazing! I think I like the middle one best, but they are all stunning. Love to Luna, from the US. She's a sweetie 💓
You should re-cast the small one with a colorful resin! So it fills in the gaps.
That big one could be a good topper for a wizard's staff.
Hi Ben,
Haven't watched the whole video yet. But hoping the fact that you're posting means that you and your family are all safe from the wild weather hitting QLD recently.
Man those sold fast!! They were beautiful! Definitely the small one in my opinion! Good job Ben and Nicole
Thanks Josh, We really appreciate it 😊
They remind me of the ball that drops on New Year's Eve here in New York City.
P.S.: You guys are just too cute together. ♥
Those balls are amazing! I can't even pick a favorite!
Also, Luna kinda looks like the dog that my mom's friend has.
Great job. Fun to have both of you to bounce ideas off of.
I really like your wife joining you. You are such an artist and all your work is lovely.
Thanks Kay, we really appreciate your support 😊
Wow wow wow!! I can't pick a favorite either. They are all stunning and beautimous!!
7:36 use those for coasters I think that would be beautiful.
I'd be curious to see what one of these would look like if you finely chopped the film down into like large glitter and then mixed it entirely with the resin before you poured it in. That could be a really neat and more uniform effect!
Should get one those character ice trays for moulds
Ben, you two and your work inspired me to save up for months and now I have my own professional pressure pot and 1/2 horsepower air compressor. I just received the compressor this morning and my first test piece is sitting in there under 25 PSI.
Hi Ben and Nicole. Luna is cute. I love the three of them. Take care.
I think that fold technique would look really cool as DNA strands. I like the big one.
My favorite was the one with a crater and canyons. Looks like a futuristic planet.
They are all gorgeous! And your puppy 😍🥰
Love this project. Would like to see you do a bigger ball or even a football sized one.
When the big one still had the resin shaft attached, it looked like something that should fit in the top of a wizard’s staff
I really REALLY like the small one !
The small one has to be my favorite. Definitely the underdog but it didn't disappoint.
I am with Nicole on this one I can't choose.
Ben all of your projects are awesome to watch
They are all so cool, but I actually really like the big one.
I love the smallest one. It looks like an ice crystal!
They’re incredible. Love the look of them.
They are all absolutely stunning!!!!
We called those paper springs. They're great for pop-up books & cards. Smallest was my favorite, then the largest. They're all beautiful, but the small one has great personality with that bubble, and the large one I like the clarity. I think I would have preferred the middle more if it wasn't quite so busy.
I just have to get the resin and start making some things. Glad I looked at your UA-cam.
I like the first one. It reminds of a strand of DNA. And the smallest one looks like ice crystals on a car window. Beautiful work❤️🇨🇦
Love seeing you both in these videos xxx
My favorite would have been the big one but I think it looked better with the shaft on it, kind of like a handle or something. Or you could use the shaft to stick it in your lawn or garden, that would be pretty cool if you get some lights on it at night.
It would be so hard to choose a favourite, they really do all look so good on the lights.
These are all beautiful ❤️ And a big hello to Luna, glad she was able to be part of the show today.
I am surprised that you didn't put them in the degassing chamber.
A suggestion for the big one if you make another for the show (I hope you do). Since the mold gives you a natural "pole", get a long wood staff, drill a hole on one end, run a small light in the staff with a push button on/off switch and add the sphere on top to make like a wizard type staff.
Wow they look good being lit up!
Thanks Mate
Honestly the one with the big crack in it was my favorite! Kinda like a huge canyon on some distant moon. A very shiny moon.
I prefer the smaller one.
Make another small one an put it in a clear cube, great video as always 👍
Hello, Luna! You're such a a beautiful doggy!! A great help, also, I imagine. Wow! The sphere's are just so beautiful!! I'm having a hard time choosing between the large and middle one as my favorite. I my opinion, there are too many in the small sphere. Overall, great video and awesome work!! ☺️💜
Thanks Mel, we really appreciate it 😊
I agree that the middle one is my fave. If the big one had more chains it would've won.
I think the largest is my favorite as it seems to have more personality especially when it’s turning. I am anxious to try one of my own.
Yeah the larger one looked awesome with the magnification, Don't be scared to try it, it was really easy 😊
These all came out great. Also in my opinion there's nothing wrong with Dad jokes. 🙂👍
Thanks Mate, me too! 😂😊
These are cool! The one from the ice-ball looks like a crater on the moon
Wow!💥 They turned out absolutely BEAUTIFUL!❤ Great job! I love these! I would definitely want one in every room of my home! Thank you so much for sharing your beautiful work!💥❤🙏
I actually like the less is more sphere. I like looking thru to the inside. ❤
Very pretty. The end results makes me think about crystal balls that physics use. That big mold looks like a lollipop.
I love the banter in these Ben and Nicole videos. It's lovely to see you share creative ideas and experiment with them. Thank you :)
Hey Ben, i wish there was a safe way to let your subscribers send you stuff to put in resin(?) Thatd be fun.
And those pieces r beeeeaaauuutttiiful!!!❤
Thankyou
@@BensWorx ♡
That smallest one i was thinking could be fun if t'were possible to make the outside look black and rock like. So it really did look geode.
I liked the geode one, even before you polished it. Like a dull stone with shiny precious stones twinkling here and there. Loved the uneven finish, glad you didn't try to sand it down. Sometimes imperfections make a thing even more attractive.
I like the large one for sure. Thanks Tim
Very nice. The ice mold one with the flat bottom would make a good paperweight conversation piece on someone’s desk. They are all great. I do like the magnification effect though.
They are all beautiful but I like the small one the best👍🏻❤️
These are amazing.
Awe Luna ❤ so cute 😍
The "Happy Accident" geode is my favorite too!!!❤
Totally awesome
Absolutely gorgeous.💜
Everything you make is just so sellable 😂. Great work as usual. 🥂
Thankyou
Think the trapped air makes it look cool, nice effect.
You could turn the small one into a small diamond planet.
Absolutely love this, most definitely a next project with a silicone skull. My favorite channel 🤗❤
Thanks Dee! we really appreciate it 😊
Beautiful. ALL of them
I have some of that film and it's super colorful in person. It's crazy how gray it is on camera.
I love watching you two together, and I am hoping you make more of these for your store, because I missed out, lol. Have an awesome weekend :)
Thanks Lisa, We really appreciate it! yeah I think we will make more 😊
Those really did come out quite awesome. 👍👍👍
Wow!! These were all absolutely stunning. I loved each one in their own right. 👍👍❤️
A few years ago I did this with tiny spheres to make crystal ball necklaces. They were so cool. It’s great to see what bigger ones look like ❤️
They looked stunning. How about putting some of the dichroic plastic film through a cheap paper shredder and a good cross cut paper shredder as well to add a different effect. Keep up the great content Mr&Mrs Worx.
One thing to try next time would be to glue/UV resin some crystals to the 'cracked' area to really enhance the geode look. Then another coat of resin or UV to restore the shine. Love your channel. Keep p the great work!!
I enjoyed this video. Nice and calm for first thing in the morning for me.
Geode I think was my favorite, but all of them were awesome!
I went to your etsy shop to buy the little geode, but they're already gone! At any rate, they're all lovely.
Thankyou
All three are beautiful.
It's a really tough choice. They all came out so unique and so beautiful and look fantastic as a set, but I have to say the small one is the winner. It has the most color and character. Wonder if the same thing would happen if you tried using the ice mold again? Great video. Thanks for sharing.
All three are magical ❤
hiiiiiii Luna!!!!! you so fluuffy!!! x
so cute :) x
They look amazing.
Love your videos. Very creative. That pupper ❤️
I love them all. They look so magical. 😍
GUESS what I'm making tonight?!!
I love using this film with resin. Made a seahorse sparkle wildly!
Very cool. Luna was the star of the show, even though having your wife always makes things a bit more special. Well done guys!
