Safety tips (updated 15/07/2023): #1. PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE wear nitrile gloves, work in a well ventilated area, and wear safety goggles when working with resin. At the time I was making this video, I did not realise how toxic the resin was, and how you can develop worsening allergic reactions to it over time. While the time it takes to develop the allergy is different from person to person, once you are sensitised, you become permanently allergic even to tiny exposures of the chemical. These are my tips when it comes to working with resin: 1. Wear nitrile gloves as these offer the best chemical resistance. The cheaper vinyl gloves are also acceptable provided you remove and dispose of these very soon after you get resin on it. Vinyl gloves are also acceptable for non-toxic materials such as acrylic paint. That being said, nitrile also has a time limit, but this limit is much longer compared to vinyl. 2. Do not reuse disposable gloves as the resin will have penetrated through 3. Wear safety goggles to avoid resin splashes into the eye 4. Have good ventilation to avoid build up of resin fumes - this involves crafting with open windows, using a fan to draw out fumes and/or use a ventilator that can filter out organic vapours. 5. Gloves that are the right size makes it so much easier to work with. The parts where I didn’t use gloves were mainly due to the gloves being too big and making it very difficult to work on small items. When I first started, I saw lots of resin videos where the users did not wear any gloves throughout the whole video, making me think it was relatively harmless. Although I am always careful not to get any resin on my skin, the best practice is to always wear gloves in case of any mishaps. #2. I’ve been researching a bit about fire safety lately. It is a good habit to ensure all the lighting wires are fully sealed and insulated, and not to leave the lights on for an extended period of time unattended. I have resealed one of the wires here with longer heat shrink tubing after I realised that parts of the spliced wire was exposed. Be sure to use plenty of the tubing as it will shrink and may re-expose the wiring. Always, safety first!
My idea of magicians and magic is that they are a mixture of art, science and mystery. Anyone can become one as long as they have the right tools, skills and knowledge! What is your interpretation of magic?
@@recoveringsoul755 witches, warlocks, wizards, magicians, enchanters/enchantress, sorcerer, mage … so many names! I believe there are subtle differences between them, will need to investigate to find out hehe
@@azukibeanhobbies I'm sure there are large communities of them online here. Might start with tarot card readers? I'd personally want to steer clear of the devil worshipers, just creeps me out. As a child I was fascinated by a magician show I saw and begged my parents to get me a magic kit so I could learn how to do magic tricks. At the wee age of 10 I put on a magic show for my little sister's 5th birthday party. I took some tricks to school too. The bloody finger in the box was always a fun one.
Thank you so much for watching! So happy you love how it turned out, though it does mean that each video does take a quite a long time to make, but making each one is so fun. Have a lovely day! 😊
This is literally mesmerising..... I really feel sad for you actually your work deserves more views and likes.... BTW keep rising..❤love from Pakistan..💚
WOW that thumbnail made me drool, absolutely gorgeous work! I really love the witchy themed remake, really gets me in the _spooky_ mood. The gold leaf in the cobblestone floor made my inner witch squeal. All the little trinkets are so well made and well placed, great video Azuki!
@@azukibeanhobbies WITCH CRAFT! I’m gonna try my hand at making a custom logo for it too lmaooo, your video got me all in the witchy mood for my editing >///
Hi! Thank you for watching! I use a tacky glue from a brand called “Deluxe Materials”. You’ll see in the video when I put the floating shelf that I only had to hold it for a short amount of time before letting go. I’ve found that other tacky glues I’ve tried so far don’t do this quite as well. Hope this helps!
This is an absolute work of art! I was mesmerised the whole way through and look forward to more magical stories 😁. Your work is astounding! Sending love from England 🏴🇬🇧💖💝
@@azukibeanhobbies oh! You are here awesome. I look forward to more of your stories :) i was hoping we could get the same materials. My magic alley booknook kit arrived - it is plain except for some stickers and i was looking for ideas on how to paint it.
i love your videos and this one is my fave, i always come back to this video because the story and the little details are so amazing. i love the way you customised the set to look totally unique and all the stories behind the changes--like the colours, the little faces on the stones, and even the narrow engraved strips you added at the end. your dollhouse videos are so calming and mesmerising to watch! i've never really cusomised a kit myself (i don't think I'm very creative haha) but i really love seeing you customise yours! thanks so much for sharing your magical process 💙💜
Oh thank you! It was such a pleasure reading your message 🥰 Definitely do try customising a kit one day! You can start off with small changes like adding more books and gradually changing more and adding more of your style :) I started off doing kits without customising after a very stressful period at work, and I never thought I would completely customise a kit one day. But then I started asking myself, "what sort of room or house do I want to live in?" and started changing kits based on this. Then it progressed to "what sort of room does my character live or work in?" Now my head lives in the cloud, daydreaming of tiny rooms xD What sorts of arts and crafts do you like to do? I believe everyone has a bit of creativity in them that can be brought out in different ways, and it's a matter of trying new things and finding the one that gives you the most joy! While I'm very much a beginner still in the arts and crafts space, I found that as long as it is tiny, this is the gateway for me to try new and different things!
@@azukibeanhobbies i spend SO long looking for kits that look like what i already want, because it never occurred to me that kits could be customised so much! i've seen people do the same kit you did, but they only changed the colours/layout a little. the way you made a whole magician's workshop is amazing, especially since i really want to make a witch's room type of diorama one day! (i watched your witchy re-ment unboxing btw, that's one of the miniature sets i want to get someday! ) 😍 i love your daydreams and the stories you invent for the characters that live in your dollhouses, thanks for the amazing videos hahaha. i'm more comfortable with sewing than making miniatures, recently i made a little rabbit doll and thought the dress in the book was a little plain, so i added lace and ruffles to her dress! thanks for the lovely response btw 🥰 i love trying new arts and crafts and it's wonderful to talk to someone about it!
@@mminmakes It’s definitely nice to chat about arts and crafts 🥰 I don’t have much experience with sewing at all, but I do want to try some needle felting and incorporate it into the miniature projects. That little rabbit doll sounds cute! 🐰
Thank you very much Stephanie for watching! I’m glad you enjoyed this :) The little cat is from the same Re-Ment plastic miniature sets as the other Re-Ment items in the video (called “The Black Cat antique shop) - I realised too late that I left him out, and by that time most of the other items were already glued on to the furniture - oops!
Thank you! It took 2-3 months to do, working on it almost every weekend, but every step was a joy 😆. I plan on continuing the magician’s story in future projects next year but with new characters and different ideas :)
You made me a subscriber ! Your talent is amazing...your imagination is boundless and fun. I love your Magical World. Thank you for this awesome video and all your hard work and time.
Thank you so much for subscribing and for your kind words. I hope you’ll also find a little bit of joy in some of the other projects planned for this year! 😊
Thank you, I definitely will! I have quite a few different settings I want to explore and make. Just thinking about it gets me all excited haha. Have a nice day 😊
Thank you for watching! I love the Harry Potter world as well - both the books and the films :) I went to Universal Studios Harry Potter World a few years ago and it’s like walking into dreamland 🤩
Thank you! I can’t wait to see your next one, I want to make a robot or something robot themed for a future project and your robot kitbashes, especially the junkyard ones, are so inspiring!
@@azukibeanhobbies Thank you :) It would be fun to watch you build something like that too. I have been struggling with my crafts recently so progress has been slow.
Hi, thanks for asking :) this is called a “mitre cutter” and is perfect for cutting things repeatedly. I have a link in the description to a live document that shows you all the recommended items that I have used including this one. Update: here is the link specific to the mitre cutter - amzn.to/3XrgAdy
You can do it! It took me a long time actually by starting small and slowly learning along the way (there’s still so much to learn and improve on!). The main thing is to enjoy the experience regardless of the outcome. And thanks so much for your lovely comment 😊
THIS IS BEAUTIFUL.. I wanna live in this little miniature it feels so cozy and so at home ♥️♥️🌀 your work is absolutely amazing and you deserve 10000000++ likes and views :D ♥️
Yes! You can get kits to make little dollhouses and book nooks! I usually buy mine from amazon :), I have a link in the description showing my recommended tools and kits.
@@xEnchantedxHeartx Most kits have the pieces already coloured and pre-painted so you won’t need paint if you want to make it exactly like the kit. Sometimes the kits by the brand “Rolife” contain some paint for you to paint the raw wood pieces. But again this is for getting the exact look of the original design. If you want to customise the kits to different colours, you’ll need to buy your own paint to do this. Hope this helps :)
Wowzers!! This is incredible! The talent and imagination to create all the objects and repurpose the parts from the kit! I’m blown away! Such a beautiful piece
i REALLY love the story and meaning you put into every aspect of the room and its contents! thank you for sharing a little of your world, i'm inspired ♥
Oh!! Wow! What genre do you usually like writing in? :) I tried writing previously (I even took creative writing lessons!) but I’m no good at it hehe, so these builds are the results of all those unwritten stories
