    You really made me chuckle today when you said, 'of course make a mess.' Making a mess is something I seem to do with every thing I create, it's obligatory I swear, lol. Love those beads in those dishes, they really gave them a very different and interesting look. Have a great weekend Steve.

      One of the first things you learn in art school is to embrace the mess. Halfway thru my first semester, I'd be heading out of drawing to my design class with charcoal on my face.

      I think it’s because that shells are upside down so hems go to top of the shell whereas the hands are normal so jams go to the bottom and don’t show as well

    Hi, I used salt in resin a few years ago and don't recommend it. It's beautiful but after some time in a humid environment (sth about one year in the garage) salt crystals grow and destroy my resin art. Btw the plastic crystals for resin are really cool :3

    • @tinkrtailr
      @tinkrtailr 6 місяців тому +3

      Yeah, salt isn't really a good crafting material. I tried the watercolor and salt trick, and even though it looked gorgeous it was so delicate that just picking it up ruined it.

    • @Sandraudiga333
      @Sandraudiga333 6 місяців тому +18

      I feel like if that's a problem, the easiest solution would be to paint a layer of clear on top, to completely seal the salt within the resin and make sure none of it was able to react with the humidity in the air

    @shibibi1 6 місяців тому +15

    If you don't want your salt crystals doing weird things after a few months, you need to seal the finished product so no salt is exposed to the elements! Otherwise your salt will respond to moisture in the air.

    I added chunky Himalayan seat salt into 3d mold because I thought it resembled rose quartz. Months later at an outdoor event, someone pointed out a small 3d bear with whitish powder on it t that resembled salt. Sure enough. Salt was coming out of that bear all over. I wiped him off and the next day there was more. I've never tried epsom salt.

    If you are making a lot of this stuff, it's worth investing in a small vacuum chamber. You can put the mixing bowls in before you pour that will remove 90% of the bubbles, and then go again once it's in the moulds. It only takes a few minutes and it makes a big difference.

    Where the crystlals shown through, it gave the resin a lacey-looking texture.
    I know these are meant to be dishes, but you could easily adapt the mixture with the crystals, add a small hole to the hardened resin, and create some lovely sun-catchers ☺
