I’m a guy who has a fascination in skulls. Your resin skulls are astonishingly creative! The rose skull turned out beautiful, and the blues in your blue skull are pretty sweet! I’ve been planning on getting epoxy resin skull molds myself for several projects I’m doing.
Hey Monica, love watching you create. The reason the ink did that way is because it’s “watercolor”, not alcohol ink. It’s water based. Resin rejects it. I bought some by mistake because they were hanging right beside the alcohol inks. I won’t mention the brand because it’s actually a very good brand. God Bless.
That skull with the Rose's is gorgeous and I like the pyramids. That necklace piece is beautiful and I love the rose paperweight at the end. I'm not crazy about the Aztec skull. I've seen some blue people before that were almost the same shade as those faces and they look very similar to the faces you have. Take care and stay safe from this virus. Doctors have ordered me to stay in. They even canceled an appointment I had. New Orleans has had a few deaths and Baton Rouge had a few reported cases. Love ya.............xxx 💗😊💗
I think it's super cool, I want to do that too. I'm going to buy the mold because my son is a death metal head musician. that would be a nice present for him. thank you for sharing Monica. Take good care of yourself. By by ❤️
😍😍😍 the skull with the roses and the semi-sphere are my favourites!! 👏👏👏👏👏👍 I'd love to have a skull like that on my desktop 😃 Have a nice day Monica! 😘😘
I love the resin show. I put flowers in resin and found it looks better without the coloring, I try to use a small amount of glitter, not too much it will take over
Just some quick tips..always demold with gloves.the purple ink could have stained all the rest of your art..also when you put so many flowers in a mold , sqiurt alcohol 1st to stop the bubbles..it seems like you had the wrong ink for your resin.😊
oh I found this video!! YAY!! I now have the big shiny skull that listed up on my website. I love the roses you put inside it! I wanted to tell you there are types inks that are not compatible with resin. looks like you found one. I have had the same struggle in my learning curve. I love that you used the hexagon mold. The medium skull is also listed up for sale. The giant crystal cluster is also listed up and I loved the red you used for it. I am still taking orders while we are under the virus emergency. Loves you xo
Dang girl you wore me out getting those skulls out of the molds!🤣 The skull with the roses looks beautiful, but my arthritic fingers won't let me struggle that hard. ❤❤❤❤
I just love making resin molds. You are so right about how it feels to unmold them. It’s so exciting. I was excited watching you. Lol Now those were big molds. Lol Even on some of my small ones I will have someone grab either the resin or the mold and then we pull together slowly. Yes it’s a lot easier with a little help I found out. Lol I’m sure you know but you can always pour over the purple one that keeps putting purple on your hands with more resin. It will also make it shiny of course you know that too LOL I made some of those crystal shards that you did and they turned out very pretty. I use the same resin that you use also. I have found it to be perfect for everything I do. I love that rose skull also.😍👍♥️ Tfs
Hi Monica, may we know what’s the size of the rose skull? Also do you think preserve bouquet in skull mold is good idea? We are a mold developer and want to creat a real size skull mold for flower preservation, don’t know if this is a good idea...thank you!
Very nice Monica! Thanks for sharing! I have made a few small succulent pots with left over resin. They come out dull, the bottoms come out shiny. Not sure what’s going on. Any ideas?
Sometimes I get air bubbles and sometimes I don’t I do get a tongue depressor and press the resin in the flowers and I noticed that definitely helps thank you so much❤️❤️
Hey Monica would you be able to tell me if you sold the clear skull? I’m trying to get an idea of the cost vs the value, so any info in that regard would be appreciated.
I get it from ... the epoxy resin store ... Liquid diamond is the type I use for anything in a mold I also use general use resin for everything else thanks so much❤️❤️
Yes make sure you use the right resin because I use resin called liquid diamond from the epoxy resin store it doesn’t have any bubbles and doesn’t get cloudy when you mix it up I let it sit for a good 5 to 10 minutes and then I poured in my mold you have to also do it in steps you cannot fill the whole mold up at one time maybe an inch or two at a time. Thanks hope this helps ❤️
Thanks Monica 😊 I'll give that a try. BTW I've made a few of those large skull molds, if you use a sharp blade (razor blade) you can cut those molds about half way down the length of the face and the back of the skull. When you pour into the mold just make sure you use rubber bands to keep the mold together.
Yeah I have actually done that Scott with quite a few molds actually thank you so much for the information anytime you can help me I’ll definitely appreciate it and anytime I can help you if I’ll be more than happy to do so❤️
I have that exact same mold but been kinda scared to start my skulls cause its a deep pocket ...have you ever had a problem with the epoxy getting to hot ? I paid 70.00 for the mold and don't wanna mess it up .
Unfortunately when I was demolding it I had to cut it to get the skull out. I called the lady who made the mold for me and she said it was because I poured too much resin in at one time she said you have to do it in steps... A little resin at a time but that cure and then a little bit more live and learn right lol ❤️❤️
@@MonicaBarnesArt Thanks Monica. I ordered the skull and in the order form she said she could cut it if it was mentioned in the comment section of the order form, so I asked her to cut it for me. Could you please let me know how much resin was used in the entire large skull, so I'll know beforehand. I will do it in smaller layers as you suggested. Also the staysafe25 code La Kranch posted below for an order over $100 didn't work. Just FYI.
Barbara HARMER If you email her or message her she will give you the percentage off for that code tell her that the code did not work I don’t remember how much resin I used unfortunately I’m so sorry
@@MonicaBarnesArt Thanks, I did mention it when I ordered because $150 is a lot and $25 off will help. Thanks so much for your really fast replies. If I do it in layers, I'll keep track of each amount in each layer, so I'll know in the future. Love your art.
Barbara HARMER Thank you so much Barbara I can’t wait to see what you make you need to post it on my Facebook page it’s for any artist doing any medium. So when you’re done making your skull posted on this page along with your other artwork everyone would love to see it facebook.com/groups/2856068691122985/?ref=share
Hi Big Jim, can I have you idea, do you think put bouquet in skull mold is a good idea for a resin project, skull shape for flower preservation? Thanks
@@jinghuang6707 I've never actually done that. I would think the moisture in the flowers would mess with the resin. I'm thinking dried flowers or synthetic flowers would work better.
Hi Monica, The skull with the Rose's is gorgeous. I am sorry that the other skull didn't turn out, but maybe you should have said the name of the ink so no one would buy it. All the rest of the things you made were beautiful.
Thank you Tina I appreciate that I didn’t say the name of it because when I was done with the purple ink it had purple all over the bottle and I could not see the name any longer I don’t know what I was thinking❤️❤️

How do you keep from getting bubbles in the resin when it’s poured into the mould?
I love the resin show. I put flowers in resin and found it looks better without the coloring, I try to use a small amount of glitter, not too much it will take over
Thanks so much Donna yeah molds are so much fun thanks for watching stay safe out there❤️❤️

Placing a $200 order, but the staysafe25 code doesn't work.
@@barbaraharmer7353 yes it is. sent you email
I would love to embellish that funky purple skeleton head!
Yeah that would be cool thanks Heather❤️
How long did you wait to fill the rest of that rose skull? And is there a visible line? So cool!
Dang girl you wore me out getting those skulls out of the molds!🤣 The skull with the roses looks beautiful, but my arthritic fingers won't let me struggle that hard. ❤❤❤❤
Yeah that was pretty hard getting that thing out pain in my ass thank you for watching and I’m glad you like them❤️❤️
its sooo cool i want to do that but i just dont have the money toHow much would you cell that for/
Love the skull with the Rose's. So cool 💜💜💜 and the half circle with the purple rose. That's so freakin weird about the purple ink. Wth. 🤯🤯🤯
I know I threw that shit in the trash stay safe Trish❤️

Use mica powder and mix in the resin.. better than inks..
Hi MJ hope your doing well stay safe from the Crono 19 Love how the skulls turned out : )
Thanks so much leafbiner you too stay safe❤️
Do these objects dry so they’re not tacky to the touch?
Sorry it took me so long to get back to you
yes they do dry and they’re not tacky to the touch
@@MonicaBarnesArt no worries bout the delay, thank you!!
Very nice Monica! Thanks for sharing! I have made a few small succulent pots with left over resin. They come out dull, the bottoms come out shiny. Not sure what’s going on. Any ideas?
Yes The mold itself has to be shiny for the resin to come out shinny ❤️
How did you keep air from getting trapped in the roses you inserted? I tried to cast a dafodil, bit got a big air bubble in the center.
Sometimes I get air bubbles and sometimes I don’t I do get a tongue depressor and press the resin in the flowers and I noticed that definitely helps thank you so much❤️❤️
My favourite was the necklace piece - the colours were gorgeous. Where did you get the mold pls - it's a pretty shape :)
Hi Mandy I got that off of amazon unfortunately I do not have a link for it thank you so much Mandy❤️❤️
@@MonicaBarnesArt Thank you Monica, have a great day :)
Hey Monica would you be able to tell me if you sold the clear skull? I’m trying to get an idea of the cost vs the value, so any info in that regard would be appreciated.
Yes I sold the skull for the big one I sold it for $50 I saw the small ones for $20
what resin do you use
I get it from ... the epoxy resin store ...
Liquid diamond is the type I use for anything in a mold I also use general use resin for everything else thanks so much❤️❤️
i used clear resin but it srank in mold
Great video! I just made my first skull the other day but it came out cloudy, more white then clear :-(. Do you have any pointers?
Yes make sure you use the right resin because I use resin called liquid diamond from the epoxy resin store it doesn’t have any bubbles and doesn’t get cloudy when you mix it up I let it sit for a good 5 to 10 minutes and then I poured in my mold you have to also do it in steps you cannot fill the whole mold up at one time maybe an inch or two at a time.

Yeah I have actually done that Scott with quite a few molds actually thank you so much for the information anytime you can help me I’ll definitely appreciate it and anytime I can help you if I’ll be more than happy to do so❤️
Beautiful work! Where do you buy your skull moulds? I'm thinking of making so.e cool aquarium ornaments 💀😘
I get most of my molds from Lee Kranch creations thanks so much for watching❤️❤️
No pressure pot
Nope No pressure pot with the right reason you shouldn’t have any bubbles you have to buy a good casting Resin❤️❤️
Love the roses in the skull. So many cool things you can do with resin. Do you have to pop the air bubbles when you do molds?
Not really I don’t usually pop the bubbles unless I see a whole lot of them thanks so much Sherry stay safe be careful❤️❤️
I have that exact same mold but been kinda scared to start my skulls cause its a deep pocket ...have you ever had a problem with the epoxy getting to hot ? I paid 70.00 for the mold and don't wanna mess it up .
Yes now I only do an inch at a time so it doesn’t heat up too much and ruin my mold ❤️
so only an inch ...how long do I wait til I pour the next inch?
I also have fake flowers can you put fake flowers in them ?
This would be a beautiful idea for your wedding bouquet afterwards if you had a Victorian/ dark romantic style wedding.
That is such a great idea thank you so much stay safe ❤️😷
Shows!!!!!!!
Ótimo
That purple ink isn't ink :) ... It's resin pigment which is much more concentrated. Love the molds!
Thanks Valerie❤️
At what point in the process did you cut the large skull molds? Loved it so much, and subscribed.!!

Why aren't they shiny?
They are very shinny ....which one? Do you think is not shinny ❤️
Been resin casting professionally for 15+ years. Get some rubber bands to keep the molds closed. They're reusable and a lot less expensive than tape.
Thanks big Jim ❤️❤️

Are you from jersey or PA ? Just wonder from your accent lol
If the purple was sitting away for 3years plus that would explain why it was yuck. And also gotta shake before use.
inks water bast and resin is oil thay dont mixs well
My inks are not water-based ❤️❤️
O molde .
