Вставка
- Опубліковано 9 лют 2022
- I wanted to start a series where we test out resin alternatives like JESMONITE! I really put this stuff to the test. We tried adding acrylic paint, embedding dried flowers, dusting glitter & different ways to topcoat!

About my channel: Hey guys! I'm Heather, the crazy lady behind ArtsyMadwoman! I'm a resin artist & I preserve flowers in resin along with creating & testing out all kinds of fun crafty thangs! I hope you subscribe & stick around for the mad things we're going to do ;D
I think it's so strange that people have fits or get angry when "Influencers" want to do new things or take a break on other things. It's your channel. I just like you as a person. Your personality is contagious an you make me happy and laugh. Girl you do you and please don't apologize for your own health. Hope you are having a great week. One Love ✌🏼❤🧡💛💚💙💜🖤
Things to keep in mind when your trying to determine how eco a product is:
I started watching you for the resin, that is true. And I was sad when you said you were not going to work with it anymore. But I love learning new things and I love you, so I will always watch you create whatever you are wanting to create with. I am trying to learn to do other kinds of art too. No need to limit yourself to just one thing. You go girl.❤️
Last I knew, your channel wasn't called "RESIN Madwoman"... 😉 Art takes many paths, and I'm happy you let us frolick down the way with you!
The gypsum is 100% biodegradable, the acrylic is still just plastic. Doesn’t degrade to anything more than a microplastic.

I really respect your decision to not use epoxy any more.... I have also stopped only 8 months into first using it..... my short story- I had not used epoxy for a couple of weeks so did not relate it to the skin reaction, but I did sand the sharp edges, then I put moisturiser on my face and neck then I had a huge reaction and ended up putting myself into the hospital, they gave me the correct medication and alot of skin peeled off my face as it had destroyed it, I also went to see a dermatologist which confirmed the reaction plus other things that I was allergic to... I also felt very guilty about all this useless (albeit pretty creations) that I was putting out into the world and polluting it even more..... I was wondering then what I am going to use all the hundreds of dollars that I had spent on molds and decided that I will use them for chocolate creations......... stay beautiful xx
Sherry Moulton uses Tri Art Liquid Glass to seal a lot of things. It's very glossy and dries much faster than resin. Also Julie Cutts uses a metallic paint pen on the edges of a lot of her coasters. It really finishes them beautifully. A couple of suggestions .
I watch you because you’re entertaining, awesome, hilarious, informative & beautiful, so I’ll continue to tune in, regardless what you’re making. Keep on being fabulous you!! Hugs from Tennessee!
As someone who works with resin daily and is also allergic, i have had many recommendations to try crystalac. Its supposed to be non toxic and a great alternative to resin. However, I have yet to try it out because i know how to work resin and what results to expect. I do commissioned work and worry about the resilience of crystalac over time (brittle/yellowing/reactions to inks or pigment) This would be a really cool thing to see you try out because I know you know resin soooo well, and i would trust your judgment. Just a thought 😊 as for your channel going a different direction, im pumped! I love seeing many different art forms and also love seeing your creativity come out in a new light! Keep being your lovely creative self always!!!
I love how the spray left part of the book end matte and some gloss.
I watch you as a maker on YT, I love how you try so many different kinds of arts and crafts! I admit that I started watching for your resin pieces, however I really respect your choice to take your art journey in a different direction! Thank you so much for sharing your process with us! In addition you efforts to film, edit, produce and execute a weekly video do no go unnoticed thank you.
I make Jesmonite products for my business, making terrazzo is so much easier if you mix the chips into the Jesmonite and then sand back the surface. Also the dye is only supposed to be 2% of the mix so that’s why the first one took so long to dry. You’re best off sealing with either the acrylic sealer or with some coconut oil, it really brings out the colour 😊
I'm just happy that we aren't completely going away from said projects. I support you in your choices, and am excited to see whats next for the projects. Love ya girly❤❤
As always these projects came out really cool. I started watching you for the resin because I was getting into resin work myself but I fell in love with your personality and creativity so I will still watch and be inspired by you.
I've just started watching your videos today (literally all day as I've been sick in bed) and am now a new subscriber simply because your awesome and you make some incredible things! But I just wanted to say.... do NOT apologize for doing something or changing something for yourself, your health, and your mental health! You absolutely do NOT sound stupid! I've been slightly obsessed with watching resin crafts for over a year now but have the same fears that you do! I have small children that are attached to my hip and not a safe ventilated area to do crafts. So thank you very much for showing another option!!
You personality thru the camera is so awesome, I will follow you no matter what, you are creative and love that everytime you do something new you show it to us either if it works or not, you make me confident in the things that I want to create.....just know you are awsome!
I love how you was back and forward with the info and project! I talknlike that all the time 🤣. I always wondered about alternative resins so thank you!
I love that the surface of the flowers show such texture. I'm on the same page as you with resin. I still do some, but I've been dabbling in decoupage. I'm liking it. I'm mostly doing the jars.
So glad you finally found Jesmonite. I have completely given up on epoxy due to it being so toxic and not very environmentally friendly and swapped to Jesmonite. It’s such a beautiful product and the curing time is soo fast . Also remember the pieces can leave sweat marks if you leave it in the mould too long. I’m definitely a big fan of it and can’t wait to see what you come up with x
