    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!😂❤😅😊

    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.

    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.

    You should re-cast the small one with a colorful resin! So it fills in the gaps.

    @fattdamon5342 4 місяці тому +1

    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!

    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

    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.

  • @enryutenchi837
    @enryutenchi837 4 місяці тому +1

    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.

  • @ctempleman1401
    @ctempleman1401 4 місяці тому +1

    It would be so hard to choose a favourite, they really do all look so good on the lights.

  • @StrandedLifeform
    @StrandedLifeform 4 місяці тому +2

    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.

    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!! ☺️💜

  • @kaypeddie4996
    @kaypeddie4996 4 місяці тому +1

    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.

    @jeremykendall-thomas7300 4 місяці тому +1

    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.

  • @sue3785
    @sue3785 4 місяці тому

    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.

  • @kwillemsdesigns
    @kwillemsdesigns 4 місяці тому

    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!!

    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.
