Those bowls are gorgeous Steve. I have been making pots for my succulents out of polymer clay, I hadn't considered using resin because it's so expensive but adding the sand or salt to it would reduce what I need to use. Thank you for the inspiration!
The blue one reminds me of enamelware, the other is very colourful, love them. I have used tangerine coloured sand in jewelry with champagne coloured foil, very pretty. I made a little scene inside a shell using tangerine sand and little shells, must have used 10 layers of UV resin to get that depth I wanted. I’m not sure what critter lived in it but I do know it wasn’t a clam. Your channel is fun to watch, love your enthusiasm.
I love these. A lot succulents are rock dwellers. And they like to be in confined spaces. Tuck some Big stones in between them or even broken pottery. I make these but I try to approach it like I'm making a little miniature habitat for them.
Thank you for the advice, these are mostly soil dwelling, as for some reason I just can’t keep the ones that like rocky areas alive? I really don’t have green fingers Lol. More like killer thumbs to plants. Haha
@@SteveMcDonaldArtsandCrafts it's not you Steve, it's where you live. The UK climate often isn't favorable. Just ask the guys who try to grow the stuff that you're not allowed to grow. It's rough over there.
I was surprised that they came out shiny! I thought they'd be textured. Cool idea. I really love the multicolor sand bowl, but the blue is very elegant.
I love what you did with the plants! I've had some luck pouring some resin first, then adding the salt, layering until it's full, so there's even coverage. Caveat- this works with very thin resin, as thicker resin can hold more bubbles. I like thin resins but they come with their own set of pros and cons. This is just one of the pros.
Those bowls turned out beautiful! ❤ How did I miss seeing you use the Epson Salt?! Brilliant! I got the bowl mold myself. Want to put some abalone in my & use resin succulents in mine for those like me who want pretty things but has absolutely no green thumb. Lol 😊 Beautiful Steve. ❤
❤ I love these! I really need to try this method myself. I especially love the Epson salt one and, the fact that you need so much less resin to accomplish the final result. Another winner Steve. ❤
Very nice tutorial.. the bowls look awesome and make wonderful pots..I like the extra teaching on the plants also.. resin and plants...my favourite ❤😊 blessings from Australia 🦘🦘🦘
You should try adding little bits of broken, colored, mirrored glass. They sell it at craft and home stores to put in table decorations. It would look phenomenal in your soap dishes.
❤ Great looking bowls and so interesting what you used. That was so much fun to watch and I love all your interesting comments as you work. Thank you. M in USA NH
Love these so much, I haven't been using resin for long but I have found myself saying squidgy widgy in my head regularly, now I have 2 new things to add lol
Great video Steve as always. I Love these bowls. What a great idea putting succulents in them. Would love to see you do a video on taking cuttings from the plants. I’m not greened fingered but would like to learn how to do this xx
I used to luv working in my flower beds. I had an nn ice plant that was my fav of those kind. It grew way bigger than the info said it was going to. It had bright pink n bright orange. I just might have to grow some in a green house and sell them like this. Such great ideas Steve
Thank you Steve, for the knowledge and courage to experiment! I have wondered about doing this with crushed limestone or rock to make planters for y succulents.
Steve I find myself using squidgy widgy a lot😂😂 Would love to see/hear your fave comment of the week. Love Love Love these bowls, they are beautiful ❤🤩
I have wondered if you could place resin in the other side of the mould and make compartments to put in the bowl. Love watching your channel (have watched several videos multiple times). Your videos are very informative and relaxing.
Brilliant! I am definitely going to try the epson salts. Great to save on expensive resin and it looks fantastic, too. Thank you for making these videos.
I love the effects you’ve created. This is something we could do with smaller amounts of the epsom and/or sand to help save some on resin in projects, yes?
they turned out beautiful! I love the Epsom salt effect. I have a similar mold with the narrow walls, I push down the middle of the bottom close to the edge , instead of pulling the sides out, to fill it. when released the mold pushes the resin into the outer wall. Not explaining that very well, sorry. 🤔

Polymer clay is so expensive here in South Africa!
My pleasure happy to inspire and help 😀😀😀

Thanks
Thank you Janet, your support means the world to me 😍😍
I love your projects. They are gorgeous.
Maybe packing it in a baster to squeeze in the mold would help decrease bubbles.
Now that is a genius idea, thank you. 😀😀😀😀

Omg I want those bowls. They are gorgeous. It was alot of work but oooh so worth it Steve.
I just ordered your mixing bowl kit with the mat. I can't wait to use it
Banging the bowl on the table made me think of Queen. Anyone else 😆 5:18

Thank you. I loved this one

stunning with such simple ingredients.
GORGEOUS ❤❤❤❤❤❤ love how you can grow your succulents from clippings. I’ve tried with no luck other than a Christmas cactus.
I have really been enjoying your videos! Thank you for making content.

Oh, you do make me giggle! Love the new tappy wappy! Goes well with the squidgy widget! loving the results!
Wow those bowls came out so beautiful thank you for sharing this. I would have never thought of either sand or epson salt in resin.
😲. I have lots of Let's Resin molds and never realize they have the volume on them. I'm just waiting for payday to buy this mold 😊.
Oohs they turned out great 👍🏻 🌵🌿
They are so beautiful! Very cool techniques. Thank you for sharing ❤
The pots are very pretty. We need an african violet pot mold.
I love the bowls !!❤❤
These are gorgeous! I need to try the Epsom salt one. I love the way that looks. Amazing job as always!
I have wondered if you could place resin in the other side of the mould and make compartments to put in the bowl. Love watching your channel (have watched several videos multiple times). Your videos are very informative and relaxing.
Love your ideas. How do you clean your mixing silicon molds.
I now use big wipes, I link them in a lot of videos. They clean everything and keep them lovely and soft, without scratching
These are great! Ive used sand before but wasnt sure how much less resin the use. This is very helpful. Thanks
I love all the funny words you say 😅and I love your work ❤️❤️❤️
Love these by the way!
Brilliant! I am definitely going to try the epson salts. Great to save on expensive resin and it looks fantastic, too. Thank you for making these videos.

I haven't been able to afford a membership yet, but I do this with aquarium rocks. Saves a lot of $$$ on deep pours!!!
