- Опубліковано 29 тра 2023
- Clearing up questions about the mica powders I use with epoxy resin, and another bargain mould from Temu. And heck it's a fiddly one. Also demonstrating the "gravity method" of demoulding flat or delicate molds

You are truly psychic… I kept tapping the bird at the top of the screen. Thanks for sharing this mold with us. It’s a beautiful piece. 😊
haha apparently people were shouting at the screen too :) Glad you liked this one It's a lovely mold for a cheap one
Another lovely project. It’s a bit like a game, spot the birdies! 😂
Haha yes I didn't think of it like that. I'm just messing about, having fun and sharing so I'm glad you like it - yes it is a bit like a game. I am making this up as I go along as I'm still pretty new to this UA-cam malarky
So funny, we were both saying "you missed 3 birds and a leaf".. then we said " yay, she found them, oh no the other bird too." You made us laugh. That was a complicated or busy mold to find everything. I don't remember you doing the turtle mold that you got for Wendy. I love that cheaper mold. Also have the same shape for the 3d printer and Cnc. Made a matching set with different materials. Thanks for sharing.
No I haven't done the turtle yet. What happened was Temy did "a funny" and duplicated an order. and in the case of the turtle, triplicated. So I gave Claire and Wendy one each :)q
I know this is old. but you have 3 birds yet to do. Beautiful.
All the birds are done by the end of the video :)
Sorry, I'm new to your channel...just found you today...and had to sub!! Much love from Montana, U.S.A.!!
I love to watch artists do resin work and acrylic paint pouring. I'm disabled and can't do it myself...so I live vicariously through all of you who can!! 💜😉💜🥰💜😍💜
Thanks for subscribing :) I hope you enjoy more of my videos then :)
Love the Humming Bird in front of you. colors are amazing.
Thank you so much!
I love listening to you. And another beautiful project.
It's a good job someone does lol. Thank you
Fantastic job! Fiddle or not! I love it!!
Thanks ;)
I love "All the Rainbows"!
Glad you like it :) Thanks for watching
My daughter heard me trying to tell you that you missed a spot. She is like mom she can't hear you.. Turned out beautiful 😍
Haha I'm glad I'm not the only one who does that :) Glad you like it
Very lovely! That green is wonderfully shiny. Thanks for sharing your process.
You are so welcome!
Tracey, I love how this turned out. The green nail powder was perfect for summer leaves. Someone else mentioned fall leaves. That would be pretty also. You do great videos. ❤❤❤
Thank you so much! Yes, I guess I should do an Autumn Fall one too
Love the little oopsie bird! The whole thing is so pretty!
You know I was still worrying right to when I demoulded that I'd still missed one :) I'm glad you like it
You made it beautiful❤. It's a gorgeous mold with intricate details.
Thanks, and yes it is. For a cheaper mould. I'm again impressed
Hi Tracey very beautiful tree 😍 thanks for sharing ❤❤❤ xxx
I'm glad you like it :)
A fall colored tree would be beautiful too!
That's a great idea!
LOL! Yep! I’m talking to you. 😂 This turned out awesome!
Lol thanks :)
When I made this item, my brain apparently thought the mold itself wasn't challenge enough and thought "Hey, you've got one less mica powders than you've got cavities here, so let's make every item a different color!" UGH. It took me over 8 hours to color in this mold! LOL When I poured it I had added in a chunky glitter and it really made the colors pop and sparkle. I think I will have to order this green. It's GORGEOUS! :D
lol Yours sounds awesome. I have over 100 Micas but still just went for these few colours. Just shows you, so many different ways to tackle the same mould
I enjoy listening to you talk amd watching you color. :)
Thanks Mandy, and thanks for your support. I'm me and I can't be anything else :)
Cute tree and the shimmer is gorgeous. ❤ this piece.
Glad you like it. It's still bendy a bit you know. It's totally cured and still flexes just as much as in the video. i think it's interesting to see how much movement there still is in narrow pieces when fully cured
@@miniscenesgb I can imagine wrapping and attaching it around a tall bottle. Bet that would be amazing.
That was a lot of work. It turned out lovely!
Yes and I think it’s worth all that work too 😊
thank you so much, love this and so pleased you 'found the missing'
Thanks Sharon :)
Yes. I was yelling at you. Good save!
Haha thought so
Well done, Tracy!
Thanks, I'm glad you like it :)
Absolutely gorgeous!! ❤❤❤❤ it
Thanks, I'm glad you like it
I love your tree. I just did one with the mold also. I like the colors on yours better than mine.
Oh thank you!
So beautiful hearty 🌳 tree ❤
Yay at last someone spotted it's heart shaped :) Pretty isn't it.
Very nice mold, love this pattern ❤
Thanks , me too. It's such a pretty moulc
I bought this mold - I thought it was going to be much bigger (should have read the size) and had huge fun making it ❤
Glad you like it! It is a nice one
Beautiful creation!
Thank you! 😊
That is very beautiful ❤❤❤ I love it! 🥰
Thanks 😊
I'm going to see if Temu still has this mold and torture myself with it. 😂 I'm so slow dusting molds it'll take me forever to do this one. But this sure is pretty. Thanks for doing this Tracey.
Glad you like it. It is a fun mould, something quite therapeutic about dusting it
@@miniscenesgb Doing this will help me with my dusting skills. So that’s really a good thing. 👍
It's beautiful, I think I need one too 😍
it's a nice mould for a reasonably cheap one. If you get one, I'd love to see what you do with it
Looks like this mold would be the perfect time to use some silicone release spray! It came out great!
Yes, if I hadn't been painting on mica powder, absolutely. Release spray would be really useful here
Love the colors! Nicejob
Thanks :)
Multi tasking is hard lol I'm sure the brown bird would have looked just as cute as the blue ones.
- just got to the end now and out turned out very pretty! I'm very impressed you managed to get it out without breaking any bits off!
lol probably but I think it would always have bugged me that I'd missed it ;)
@MiniScenesGB lol I just saw you commented to my comment after I had already added more to my comment...I should have just commented to my own comment instead of editing it honestly 😅
@@meg2831 lol. yes it' could be easily broken I think. even now it's solid, those branches still have movement because they are so thin. The reverse demould is the way to go I think, like I did. no danger of bending and snapping the tree then
I'm so happy to see you do this mold as I've had it in my cart for awhile! I ended up ordering it!
Ohhh lol . I am a bad influence :) Enjoy
@@miniscenesgb Now to just get it in the house before hunky sees! 😅🤣😅🤣😅🤣
@@carolwalters6469 Haha I have to hope the deliveries arrive while my fella is out.
Stunning!
Thanks :)
I am forever answering any questions you ask like you can hear me 😂. I really don’t think I have the patience to do something like that Tracy. It is really beautiful and the wee bird you missed came out lovely the colour made me think of a parakeet
❤❤❤❤
Glad you like it and I'm also glad I'm not the only one who talks to the person on screen :)
You got them all...and you noticed the one you did brown! This is a very pretty mold!! I keep wondering if it will be hard to unmold something like this!! 😊
it's not too bad if you use the unmolding technique I did and go steady. I'm glad I spotted the brown one before it was too late lol
Very pretty, Thank you
Thanks for watching and commenting 😊
Beautiful!
Thanks :) This was a nice one to do - not too expensive on resin either. just a bit fiddly with the colours and to demould
If you want a nicer mould for the tree, maybe pour a clear version of it, then use it to make a much thicker, sturdier mould from that. Try to use Let's Resin's silicone. It's so, so nice to use...and easy! I really like your new purple mat!
6 birds! Er...right? lol Wow, they are really hard to spot! Really pretty tree, Stacey...turned out very well! 😊💕👍
Yeh could do that, and yes that's the only silicone I use. I do a lot of mould making. Though the thickness of this mould if fine as it should last for a good number of uses anyway especially if I use lubricants on it too
Ohh thank you for this video! I got this mould of Temu and I’m plucking up the guts to do it!!!
It's a fun one to do. i'd love to see what you do with it
Just remember: _SIX BIRDS_ 😉
I’m also using Temu moulds at the moment for my clue moulds.
Some of them are identical, same brand too, as Amazon. I accidentally bought 2 identical molds, one from each, and they are the exact same. Same packaging etc. So it's always worth looking on Temu first it seems
Thats beautiful
Thank you 😄
I have watched many a person staring their resin and they all whip it up fast😹😹😹
Yep I was pointing to alll the parts you missed could not help my self😹😹😹😹
There are a few out there who place their resin bottles into the sink with warm water before they mix the resin but they also mix the colour in one half first and then add the 2nd part to the first just to give themselves the time to mix.
Love the tree it looks really good. If you do this again many change the birds and flowers from each of them even mix it up and have different coloured birds together. I will have to check out this site everyone is raving about😹😹😹
Yes I sometimes warm mine too. And the fast stirring - with deep pour resin no problem, regular resin, gives bubbles but they usually clear fine. I'm getting a debubbling machine soon. I do tend to do what's quickest when I make videos. Off camera I stir slowly. Pre-warming you do have to be careful with , as heat at any stage can cause flash curing, so it takes some practice to know how far to go with heat.
If you don't find this mold on Temu - it's similar price on Amazon
Yes could mix the bird colours up but the object of this video was to use just a few colours and only 2 brands to clear up some of the questions I'd been getting about powders.
Thanks for watching :)
I’ve just subscribed, to your channel. This mold turned out beautifully, however those mica flakes and pigments, when the light hits them WOW 🤩. Looking forward to watching more of your videos.
I’ve just ordered some molds and stencils from Temu, can’t wait until they arrive.
♥️💥🙏💐💐
Thanks for subscribing :) And I'm glad you like this one. it was great fun to do
Oh very pretty Tracey. Hope you are doing well. Thank you so kindly for sharing your wonderful talent and videos with us all ❤ Take great care and keep creating and smiling ❤
Thanks for your support Dale, glad you like it
Another beautiful piece
Thanks :)
Gawgus piece ❤
Thanks :)
Love it
Cheers :)
Temu is an addiction of its own - and I have the addiction - help me! Lol
Haha it is!
Great job Tracey! The tree is fantastic, I love it!!!
Thanks, glad you like it Tracy :)
Looks amazing!😊 😊
Thanks, it's fun to do as well
This tree is amazing! Beautifully done. 👏🏻👏🏻😁❤️
Thanks. A fiddley but lovely mould for such a price :) Thanks for watching and commenting
Im so glad you did this mold!! Im waiting on mine to arrive😊 Yours turned out beautiful!!!
Great! Have fun. It's a nice mould
See 3 birds you missed!! And a leaf or 2!! 😊
Got them all in the end lol
You mean to tell me you can’t walk…talk and chew gum lol? I have this mold and can’t wait to to it….turned out gorgeous
Good point - though not the gum right now... dental work.... haha. I'd love to see what you do with your mould :)
I have to admit I was trying to tell you about the bits that you missed!😂
Also I had just ordered that same exact silicone mat about 20 minutes before I watched this, because it's purple.
The tree is lovely 💜
Lol I bet you were. I've just watched it back and I'm shouting at myself too. Enjoy the mat - I now have 5 of those I like them so much and a load of other smaller mats in funky colours to pop on top when I need to as well
Tree is a beauty. And yes I was saying you forgot the birds and a leaf. Also I do have some of the nail powders and glitters and they are great dont need much either. Colours are very pretty.
It is fiddly, but turned out amazing.
Yes I think it was worth the effort. Quite a satisfying one to do :)
Such a lovely piece. A mould that can’t be rushed 🙂. Do think this would be an easier mould to remove if it was say twice the size?
Might be yes. Wouldn't that be a lovely make too. I think it's just tricky because the branches are thin so could be easy to snap. Using the reverse demould seemed to work well though, just a case of taking my time
I'm playing a game where I count how many things I can see you missed coloring in this mold and wondering whether you'll notice before you add the resin. I'm about 11 minutes in (you just finished the flowers) and I've counted one leaf and three birds missed so far, at least on what part of the mold can be seen, lol. It is a fiddly, detailed mold so I'm not really surprised. 😉
Edit: And you caught one bird a minute later. 😄 And then a second bird and the leaf. 😆 Last bird found by coloring it brown. 😂
Haha that's "Tracey Bingo" yeh I think I got them all in the end. Glad that gave you some fun
@@miniscenesgb Turned out really pretty in the end! I actually like the multicolor bird best. 😁👍 Mixing colors for the birds might be a good idea for your next try, even though it would take longer. Same with the leaves maybe. I think if you put some of the green you used here and actually mix it in little pots with other shades of green (one darker, one more yellow and maybe one jewel tone, possibly even a neon if you want to be adventurous) and do a gradient of darkest nearest the bottom trunk to lightest near the top and edges, you'd get a very nice effect but still keep some of the chrome look. Could be interesting to try. 😇
I was so worried about the three birds you missed
Haha you'r enot alone! Apparently people were trying to tell me, shouting at the screen lol
This is so beautiful Love it ❤❤❤❤❤
Glad you like it :)
I love it, I have done my family tree and ave pictures in tiny oval silver thigs, I think they would look great on this tree, mind you as i have got way back to te 1500s with one group id need a lot of trees. I have just recieved two bags full from Temu boy it was lke christmaqs, I have another list o the go which is at 130 pounds, sorry got a US keyboard and cant find a pound symbol!! so thanks to you its now going to increase.........hmmmm think ill get this lot sent to my sons lol.....I ca seak it home in my suitcase, leave the clothes there lol....where their is a will their is a way, or better still where their is a me their is a way lol hugs xxx Ann xxx
'
Hah I know just how that is - another load arrived here this morning too
5 months later and I still tried to point to the birds you missed!
Lol. I did find them in the end though :)
I find the cure is better in cold climates compared to hot climate we have in Australia, in fact on cold days it takes 2 day to cur our where it can cure in one day in warmer days. Plu I use blow touch and bar bar que lighter and haven’t have problems with either you just are a lot quicker with blow touch. Still love your items.
Yes similar findings here. i do use the blow torch, just give it a quick click and try to stat away from the silicone. The long neck lighter is an easy option, and alcohol spray works too. In terms of heat - around 21 degrees C seems the most predictable. we're having a heatwave now and I'm getting deep pour to cure in 12 hours.
Wear can you buy the alcohol spay
It about 5 degrees Celsius here and I’m doing a large pour tomorrow making a chest board set, unicorn, butterflies and naughts and crosses. Then I’m also doing my first lot of jesmonsite pour to to see if I can make containers for our candle business.
@@beverleyjones4179 the link for it is in all of my video descriptions - I just get it from Amazon
@@miniscenesgb yeah I found it last night and ordered the alcohol thanks
I have this mold in my cart and now that I watched your video, I really want it, it’s stunning! I do have a question though.. does it wiggle even after a while? Because I’m afraid it will eventually break
yes but it feels pretty sturdy. You'd have to use some force to snap it
How did you hang it on the wall? Did you mount it to anything first?
Just a single hook towards the top of the trunk :) Though you could mount it onto something - that would make it sturdier
What do you use for the silicone conditioner?
Just a spray silicone lubricant. I show it in some of the videos. I think silicone release spray is similar, there's usually a link for that in the description. I'll check later today when I get home and make sure there's links for both in the description of this video for you . I am working on a list of every single product I use for which I'll release a link soon
I find myself talking to all these videos, like all of you can hear me 😭😭😭
Lol. I’m glad you’re enjoying them
I know, I do too! My problem is I listen over Bluetooth earbuds so my husband thinks I’m crazy!
Where do u buy the tree mold
As I say in the video, the link is in the description below the video :)
How can i buy these molds
The link for the mould is in the description below the video for you ;)
You've missed out a bird 😅
I got them all in the end lol. I think a lot of people were tapping on the screen and trying to tell me haha
@@miniscenesgb 😛😂😂😂
How much resin the you use, please?
I honestly an mot sure. Not much as it's so fine. I'd guess about 100ML max
I did it! My first big mould!!!! It looks fabulous. I made 150mls of resin, and to get it out I popped the edges and then turned it over to pop out everything else!
@@tracyharper2121 Great! So now we know. thanks for sharing the info :)
