So glad you are trying something new and having so much fun with it. Thanks for taking us on the journey with you. The coasters are just beautiful and the colors are fabulous. I love both sides.
I make coasters with this mold all the time. I have found that when using a casting resin the inks blends into the clear like crazy. A medium viscosity works the best. I only put 60 ml in each and once its cured and removed from the molds I use a topcoating resin that will mound on the "top" where the lip is. I use aboul 15mls to do this. Eliminates the lip and gives it depth. That way you can revese them. I call them my reversable coasters. If you would like to see pictures let me know. The more layers of color, white, same color, more white the more you will see the little "growths" as the white pulls the color down. Love what you are doing here.
You're my favorite channel, you're so humble with your art and it shows you're having fun, love your latest creations :) thank you for all your good videos!
I love both sides. I'm so glad you are playing with resin & sharing what you are learning. I too am learning resin. Thank you for sharing your journey with us.❤
Beautiful! I love ❤️ how well the coasters turned out. I love ❤️ watching you trying and sharing different types art and especially enjoy hearing your enthusiasm. Learning right along with you.
I love this! I think resin pouring and acrylic pouring go hand in hand. Beautiful colors and abstract designs. It's great to learn along with you as you experiment with different brands and techniques! 💜
I’m super happy that you have started resin art. You taught me how to acrylic pour so I’m excited to start doing resin now that you will be able to teach me.
Do love the resin pours. I went from resin/epoxy to acrylic, so I agree with others that have said, they go hand in hand. Beautiful colors, pastel or not! Adhesion causes the meniscus effect. The concave look of water in your measuring cup. When the mold is not filled, there is room up the side for that adhesion to pull the epoxy up the side. That is why that lip is so thin, is literally formed in the molecular level.
Either side could be the "top"! I'm having fun, too! Learning so very much about this technique. Each pour you do, you try something different. This is SO much fun! Stay safe!
You might try filling the petri dish half way full, add ur colors, you can use a stick to make swirls if you like, then wait about 4 hours, then add the remaining resin. add glitter if you like, that way you will make it more dimentional.
You know Julie. I pretty much watch you daily. And I happen upon this older video of yours and I have already watched it but it caught my eye and watching you do that and now you're doing the feathering its pretty cool to see how you progressed. I think I need to start making videos so I can go back later and hopefully see my improvement.
You will almost always get a rim when the mold isn’t filled almost to the point of overfill. You can go back and dome them once you take them out of the mold. These are beautiful! I don’t think you can ever go wrong with making beautiful resin art with inks! Love your enthusiasm and love watching all things you create!
Another artist who works very well with resin and alcohol ink is Myriams Nature on UA-cam. She does lots of experiments and shows how to fix problems too. I very much enjoy your channel! As I understand it, white sinks easier in thin and in warmed resins, and using lots of alcohol in willcause the wrinkle effect on the surface, but it's easy to cover with a dome. You can dome right on the surface without sanding, too, as I've heard. Saves some work!
Beautiful you can also use paint in resin glitter mica powders very fun to see how things turn out. On small project just use a torch lighter~ Thanks Julie ❤️
Fun, fun, fun. Learning how to layer and move your colors will give you the effects your looking for. Keep watching videos and playing. Some beautiful things can be done with resin and inclusions.
I started watching because i have just started playing with resin. Your video's are really helpful and i have learnt a lot. The resin is coming along nicely but i now want to do some pouring it looks like fun and amazing results. Thankyou.xx
Hi Julie, I've seen most of your acrylic pour videos, and I love them, but I'm really looking forward to some more resin stuff. Thinking of trying it myself, so learning from you will probably help me get started, so I can eliminate some of the basic mistakes, and also get some excellent ideas. Thank you! And those discs all looked cool! I would say both sides are equally pretty.
Nice colors like this new form of art it's not something I can do but I like watching your designs and seeing the different outcomes, I will continue to watch these videos . Mikelle 👍🌈
They are F A B U L O U S !!! Both side's are Gorgeous !!! I love how you get excited about your art. It's very contagious. You are doing a great job on your resin pieces. Practice makes perfect. 💐🤗💜👍
Watch Tammy Anderson. IMHO she’s the Queen of Resin, (she’s an acrylic pouring Artist as well) and you can learn from her how to mix your pigments, acrylic paints (with resin) and lots of resin techniques without molds and on canvassases as well. Thanks for sharing your resin adventures🤍💛💖💜💙🙋🏻♀️
i’ve never worked with resin, but you got me wanting to try it. The second and third coasters are my favorite. I love the combination of purple magenta orange he spattering yellow. I have seen this combination, and then this combination in my fabric dying, and love it just as much here in resin. I look forward to seeing more of your resin pours
Keep doing the resin. I love it and the feathery effect is beautiful. Don't get me wrong I love the pours, but this is such a nice change and if you love the acrylic pours you have to get into resin as well, so keep up the good work. Love the change. Hugs!
You have had some amazing results with your Resin venture!!! I am loving them all!!! I have been wanting to start using resin myself, and I have been sticking up on supplies for quite some time now... still a little scared to take the plunge tho lol. I have done lots of research in preparation to begin, and a couple of things stood out to me here that may be of help to you in what you were wondering!!!... I have seen it warned in many places that ALL Resin will start to yellow if it isn't used within a certain amount of time after it has manufactured. Even the ones advertised as crystal clear will eventually no longer be crystal clear if not used within the indicated time frame, regardless of if it has ever been opened yet or not... and it does effect the colors and outcomes of your work when this takes place. It is the hardener part of the resin that turns. So there is a chance that the product you received had been shelved for too long, which caused it to have the yellow tinted tinged look to it, which would effect the outcome of your colors as well. Also, even fresh products that start out looking crystal clear can change as they cure if they do not have UV Stabalizer in them!!! But apparently not only that alone will stop a finished piece from yellowing over time. There is something else needed to help ensure the clarity of your finished product staying clear as time goes on... it is called HALS stands for Hindered Amine Light Stabilizer. Not all Resin is created equal or safe to use for Art Work. Here is a good article from ArtResin that explains the yellowing, but there are others out there that go further in depth about how they can yellow even if not opened, and give suggested times to use various products as well... www.artresin.com/blogs/artresin/41958017-why-do-some-brands-of-epoxy-resin-turn-yellow The other thing was the lip you were talking about after you pulled your piece from the mold. Some products are not self-leveling... and the one used here may not be. From what I have found, you may still run into issues even if you use self-leveling even if using a product made to do so, and then it would be due to other circumstances like the mold you use, or an uneven work surface, or temperatures, etc.. One of the reasons I have been scared to work with it, is because so many factors go into getting it just right!?! I would hate to mess up something that I pass on to someone else... so it scares me a little bit. I just wanted you to know that you did nothing wrong in using the torch on your Resin... it is more than likely that it was just the product itself already having a yellow tint to it. Thank You for sharing all these beautiful outcomes you have had. I personally even like these here!!! 💖💖💖
Lol! I think you may have researched yourself to a point of overwhelming. It is a lot of fun and it is addictive. You are absolutely correct about the yellowing on the shelf. But if you are adding tints like mica powders or opaque colorants you won't have a problem with that. And yes, even UV resistant resin will yellow in time with UV exposure, but the best will take years. The thing that will go wrong with resin is primarily not measuring accurately, but even still there is a little leeway. I recommend a 1:1 ratio for beginners, but pay attention to whether it is one to one by volume or by weight. It does make a difference. Some can be both but some resins will be specific. The rule of thumb with alcohol inks and acrylic colorants (yes even acrylic paints!) is less than 10%. Especially anything waterbased!!! Micas are very forgiving and resin tints are forgiving on the ratios but alcohol and water based stay on the minimal side until you get familiar with your resin and additives. Finally, for a beginner I really recommend Michaels Alumilite brand Clear Cast resin, and here's why.... Michaels let's you use coupons on the resin kits. So that $20 investment in your first batch of resin with a 50% off coupon is now a $10 toe in the pond. Ohh! One last pitfall... my last pour I had my water bath too hot and the resin kicked in the cup while I was mixing other colors. Meaning, I had the resin too warm and it drastically sped the curing. I was also working with a larger batch than usual (trying to rush the process) so that was all on me. Start small, start cheap and have fun!!
Hey Julie 🌼!! So I like these coasters please don't get me wrong BUT I'm looking at the Pour's dear... You could do these coaster once a week and do the rest of the week pouring days... 😉.... Nevertheless, the coasters are beautiful.... Stay healthy and love greetings your Katharina from Vienna 🎀🌺🐾
Isn’t this fun?! I’ve been playing with resin for a little over a year now. I really like the versatility that you have when working with resin. I just did a tut about a week or so making a beach scene with resin. I love it! My channel is the same as my screen name.
I think they're very pretty :) Yeah I did my first coaster pour and I'm more of a paint pour gal, but I like my painting shiny and I love how versatile your art projects are because that's how I am too! Keep up the good work, you're an inspiration to so many! And congrats on your puppy litters.
I know this video is 2 years old but in it you mentioned yellowing of the resin, I’m sure by now you have been told this but if not……. When you’re mixing your resin up add a drop of blue alcohol ink and it helps cancel the yellow out. I have not noticed a difference in the results with what shade of blue. I’ve used all the shades of blue I have and they have all done the same so far. I love your work by the way!
Very cool, but yes you have to fill the molds up all the way if you don't want the lip. It's easy to sand off, but then you need a super high powered buffer to get out the scratches. I'd try next time to put all your ink first then the activation
They turned out really pretty. Maybe a bit too much white is the problem. Love watching your resin journey. You can trim your edges with a craft knife instead of sanding if you want and then put the little rubber bumpers on the bottom :)
Thank you for your videos. You can tell how much resin by measuring amount of water you can put in it. I write the amount on my mold so next time I remember.
Instead of spreading the Coronavirus, let's spread pouring! Please visit Fiona Art, she does these amazing flower pours! Let's spread the love! I love watching every video out there, Fiona is from Slovenia. I don't get anything for this, I'm just sharing new techniques
The parts that are not shiny is the ink that is on top. I would add a thin layer of resin BEFORE you take them out of the mold after they have cured. If you take them out of the mold first then put them back in the mold to dome, you run the risk of resin seeping down the sides inside the mold. I always dome first after they have cured and before demolding
So much fun to watch!!!!!!!!!!!!!! You are delightful!!!!!!!!!!!!!
They are beautiful even though they are lighter than you expected, the coloring is beautiful.
Have a Wonderful Day!🌞🌞🌞
Great petris. Turned out great.
And, please, more resin. Especially the petris. Those turn out sooo cool.
So glad you are trying something new and having so much fun with it. Thanks for taking us on the journey with you. The coasters are just beautiful and the colors are fabulous. I love both sides.
no i love watching your resin video's ...i just love the way they turn out
Incredibly beautiful!! 😍
I love all your work, resin or paint.
Love the colour mix in the second one. And the third one looks floral. There all beautiful
Pretty! I appreciate your “experiments”. They are very helpful, and actually save me a lot of money and time! I will continually watch💕❤️
These are your best yet! I love watching the resin react to the ink making those colorful beauties.
I’m so excited I’m dabbling in resin… can’t wait to watch more of your tutorials 🥰

While you learn, your teaching us without costing us a bundle ....
Thank you 🌞♥️💐
I think I like the top better than the bottom. So beautiful
I started watching you because of your resin art.
Love the colors and the effects you have achieved here in these coasters.
I love this! I think resin pouring and acrylic pouring go hand in hand. Beautiful colors and abstract designs. It's great to learn along with you as you experiment with different brands and techniques! 💜
Very pretty. It's nice to see you enjoying yourself. Having other type projects gives a nice break.
I’m super happy that you have started resin art. You taught me how to acrylic pour so I’m excited to start doing resin now that you will be able to teach me.
Beautiful. I love the centre of the first one. It looks like a flower

💐🤗💜👍
Any art form from you is truly fantastic! 💗 love these coasters!!!
Very pretty, cant wait till they are ready to un mold
I think they turned out very pretty.💜
Hi Julie, I live the round coasters - they are so colorful and 3D and I really love the feathery style!
Watch Tammy Anderson. IMHO she’s the Queen of Resin, (she’s an acrylic pouring Artist as well) and you can learn from her how to mix your pigments, acrylic paints (with resin) and lots of resin techniques without molds and on canvassases as well.

Love your video. You explain each step and what it is causing. Thank you!
Love the resin pours. On the reveal I could see butterfly in the center of the middle coaster. LOL
You did a nice job they look like firework very pretty
Having fun watching the resin stuff. I like the variety!
Love RESIN 💕❤️😊😊😊

Looks like a bouquet of flowers on the bottom.
Getting all excited I've never seen one of these done before
So beautiful.
That was so cool to watch the reactions. Pretty too.
👍👍 Julie I love all your art work!! These coasters are so pretty!! The middle one is my favorite!!
❤🧡💛💚💙💜
I really love these so much ❤️😍
They turned out great 💙💖
Love all expressions of art so you go ahead and have fun. I am along for your journey. Love from Sourh Africa
Hey Julie 🌼!! So I like these coasters please don't get me wrong BUT I'm looking at the Pour's dear... You could do these coaster once a week and do the rest of the week pouring days... 😉.... Nevertheless, the coasters are beautiful.... Stay healthy and love greetings your Katharina from Vienna 🎀🌺🐾
Love the pastel sides best.
beautiful!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Enjoying the resin art 🌸🌺
Love learning the resin with you, also love your bloom placemats

Love the resin vids, please keep em coming!
That is sooo awesome! I was wondering what effect the alcohol ink would have, now I know.
Thanks Julie
Omigosh I have GOT to try this, in fact I have the resin and the ink, just need a mold and I'll be all set. Thanks so much for the inspiration!
Turned out amazing!
I like the bottom colors better!
Soooo beautiful i like it 👏👏♥️
They are all lovely (both sides)
Bellissimi, sembrano fuochi artificiali. Non capisco niente di ciò che dici., ma i tuoi video mi incantano. Bravissima.👏👏👏👏

Mandy Hall I just bought a dremmel will be using it to trim the edges
Thank you for your videos. You can tell how much resin by measuring amount of water you can put in it. I write the amount on my mold so next time I remember.
Lovely, a bit of another layer to some them and you could use either side... these would make great suncatchers in a mobile if to drill holes in them!
very interesting, like the demo

Thank you for all the info!
love these
I enjoy both!
Lovely, I wandered what ink would do.Thanks for showing me!
They look fantastic maybe different resins do different things.
The rim is OK, it keeps your glass from slipping off the coaster when the outside of the glass is damp.
I love those. I want to do some now! :)
Very pretty
great job, I like!
Love these! I wish I could do that, but I have MS and it affects my hands. Would love to have one for my coffee cup
These are lovely : );
Your courier comes at 5:30am??!! I'd kill him! Lol! WOW!!
It actually looks like mica!!

I’m not a pastel type girl, but those are beautiful ♥️
