Imagine liveing your life as a plant enjoying the sun untill some farmer cuts you down boils you an makes beer out of you cause some person online wants to put beer in them and in there name on youtube lol 😂 stop being a 🍑
Yes it was a bit optimistic. I'm also not sure how well it would have worked further down the line with the rest of the processes, even if a spider did build it's web in the frame. At least I got there in the end. Thanks for watching!
Absolutely stunning! Spiders are the real "web designers" and Ive always found their webs quite beautiful. I love to photograph them. How amazing that you have accomplished capturing such a fragile, ethereal bit of nature for all to admire!
Wow... that's amazing. I don't think I would have the patience to create such a beautiful piece like that. Kudos to you in your trials, errors and success. Just my 1 cent
I’ve gotten webs out in tall grass , garden spiders make the best webs. I paint them with enamel in place, this lets them dry faster. I put resin on my wood and while wet I go out and catch the web . 👍👍👍👍
You can cut the middle into a small thin circular disk and sell it as a custom watch dial. You can even cut the rest of it as well as dials but obviously for a cheaper price than the middle part. I think you can make a lot of money selling those. And I wonder if it's possible to spray the web with luminous paint ? That would be a smashing feature for a watch to have a luminous web dial. Seriously consider it, it might be a great business opportunity. Good luck, totally love your channel
That was a brilliant idea to encase a web. It turned out beautifully. Your channel is going to be well received. I wish you the best. I will be watching for future videos.
I like the blue but would definitely want to see a black version as well. Black would make it look more Halloween decoration to me - which is a pro or a con depending on your style 😂
This was super cool! I would love to see you coat the strands of spider silk that make up the web in several layers/coatings of resin, letting each one cure. So then you would end up with a free-standing webbing, rather than having the web encased in resin. You would probably still need to paint the web. It kind of makes sense that the resin ate away every paint, except one that's water soluble. You could start by dipping the web like you did in this video, but you may be able to use a dropper to apply beads of resin to a strand of web and then spread it out. Small beads of resin might even end up looking like water droplets on the web!
Something you may want to try to stabilise the web is place the web in a box with a tea light heating a small tray of super glue. It should vaporize and attcah to the web but also leave a white haze to it when it dries
The way my younger cousin described doing this for a Sunday school class was that they used hairspray or you could probably use spray paint, but anyway, they sprayed it and then, once dry, they put it on a piece of black construction paper. I’m sure the same could be done with a black base made of resin. Following the same steps should yield results. Honestly I’ll have to try it out myself.
So, yes I do use the slightly thicker version of foil that you can get from the supermarket, but I don't add any release agent. I do however use polyester resin, so if you use epoxy it may behave differently.
@@barnabyhowesculpture This look like a piece history from the museum in a way of saving the old spider web from going extinct and so many spider doing cool art from the spider web.. have a artistic day and weeks
Would love to see this done again but with a tarantulas webbing from an old enclosure, way thicker webbing which i don't think you would need to paint. By the way this turned out great! :)
Verrrry Beautyfull and Wonderfull!! I luv this midnight blue, great choice and complement to the ghostly web. Here’s an project idea: If you have, where you live, any plants that have dropped leaves that turn gauze-like and skeletal-ish in Autumn or Winter. I found a Holly bush that had these in its leaf litter........
I was looking at trying to capture a feather and in doing so found that Japanese artisans would have a ceramic bowl kiln hot and place the feather upon the surface and it would turn to a carbon print on the surface. Straight away I thought of this and if a web would leave something if anything with this method. Very interesting. ☮️🙂🇦🇺
Great idea. I think version two or three could be amazing. Perhaps, paint the web silver or gold. And maybe make it completely clear or with a slight blue tint.
I had seen this video, gave it a thumbs up and commented how beautiful it was. You responded back with a thank you. I just watched the video again and have subscribed to your channel. I love watching artistic channels especially when they are new to the UA-cam platform. Keep up the good work. I look forward to watching more of your videos.
Oh thank you for that, it's appreciated. I hope my channel brings something a little different to the space. Glad you enjoyed it enough to watch it twice!
this seems like a new art form that could be continually perfected over decades. i would have suggested using air to push the web into the resin. instead of the metal poker but it looks like it didnt really injure the web so maybe not. spray painting the web was a great idea, if the resin was perfectly clear, and the spider web painted black, it would look realllly cool as a thing you hang in the window, so the sunlight hits it., or even a milky white layer to contrast and make a stained glass type look in the sun
Yes there are lots of different colours for both the web and a background that could be used. I may explore some of them and make a follow up video. Thanks for watching
I've seen people capturing webs by spraying them with hair spray and then pressing a card against them. I wonder if that would work with foil? Then, instead of having the hoop around the outside and having to dip it in, you could just lay the foil into the thin layer of resin and peel it off when it's cured. You'd have to spray it white first, then with the hairspray, then capture it though.
Wow, that's incredible! I've long wanted to make a piece of art using a real spider web, and now you've shown me a fantastic way to do it. Thank you! You have a new subscriber.
Oh that's great, I hope you have success if you try it out. I make me happy knowing that someone else my give it ago because of my video. Thanks for watching.
The last pour looked like it was full of bubbles, how did those all disappear? I thought the number 1 thing with resin was to avoid bubbles in the liquid?
I use polyester resin and not epoxy, and I think there's a big difference regarding bubbles between the two. They just float to the top and disappear before the resin hardens. Thanks for watching.
@@barnabyhowesculpture gotta say ive tried foil - really cheap foil - and it stuck. I can see that good quality foil would work, as mine tore while trying to get it off the resin whereas yours didn't
This kind of reminds me of a local news story over 20 years ago, there was a local lady that had just massive amounts of webs around bushes in her yard, she would spray paint (just plain ol spray paint) the webs silver or gold and then put a black poster board (that was cut to fit a photo frame) behind the painted web then pull it into the web, the wet paint acts like a glue to adhere the webs to the black poster board. Once dry she would then mount them in the frames and sell them at local craft shows and such ($10-$15ea) not bad for late 90's early 2000's
That's interesting to hear. I guess the desire to preserve something as ethereal as a spiders web has been about for a long time, but the processes for doing it are evolving. Thank you for watching!
Imagine leaving your home for a day only to come back to it encased entirely in resin
Poor spider
Funny😜 I thought the same 😉
Imagine going to your friends house only to see all there furniture is in resin or made out of resin..
@@CantDedcide Nightmare scenario

How heart-warmingly optimistic you were to hope a spider would build a web in your frames. Good work. I admire your persistence.
Yes it was a bit optimistic. I'm also not sure how well it would have worked further down the line with the rest of the processes, even if a spider did build it's web in the frame. At least I got there in the end. Thanks for watching!
I think the blue was the perfect choice, the end result is super cool!
I honestly feel like black would’ve been better (Just my opinion). But the blue one looks really cool too.
Yes, the blue and white do go together very well. Thanks for watching.
The web looks incredible . I really liked the way you used a small amount of resin to seal the mould, I’ve not seen that done before.
Thank you so much! Yes it's a technique that works really well.
Absolutely stunning! Spiders are the real "web designers" and Ive always found their webs quite beautiful. I love to photograph them. How amazing that you have accomplished capturing such a fragile, ethereal bit of nature for all to admire!
Thank you, you've summered up my intent for the project perfectly. Thank you for watching!
Super cool!
I am surprised it worked! Spider webs can be so delicate but it looks amazing! Great job. I can't wait to see what you do next. 😁
Me too, I wasn't certain it would work out....until it did!
Beautiful…nice work…
Thank you very much!
Wow! Well done 🎉 Running resin along the mold cast lines before the ‘big pour’ is genius, I wonder why more channels don’t do that!
Yes, I figured that out quite early in my use of resin. Thanks for watching
What an amazing impossible idea that you made possible with an elegant and brilliant pour ❤ it
Thank you so much 😊
I was expecting to come out looking cool. But that is almost mesmerizing.
Oooo I agree! It looks more multidimensional than I expected! It would make an awesome shot for a Spider-Man title sequence
That is really cool
Wow... that's amazing. I don't think I would have the patience to create such a beautiful piece like that. Kudos to you in your trials, errors and success. Just my 1 cent

That sounds like a good way of doing it too, and quite different to my process. Thanks for watching!
So cool! Do you paint them with a brush or spray gun?
Spray can.
Super work, now there is one heck of a proud spider out there, his home is viral. Thank you.
Haha, thanks!
More people need to see this!!!! Absolutely stunning and gorgeous!!!!
Glad you kept trying!!! ❤❤❤
Thank you so much!!

Wow one of the most beautiful resin pieces I've seen! I love how the paint sort of beaded up on the web, it looks like morning dew!
Thank you so much!
Definitely use black instead of blue next time
I was going to say the same thing
I like the blue but would definitely want to see a black version as well. Black would make it look more Halloween decoration to me - which is a pro or a con depending on your style 😂

This looks so cool!! Dude this is so good! The result is so clean... 100% amazing job
Thank you! Cheers!
Lovely piece. I didn't know that aluminum foil would not stick to the resin.
I can tell you that my aluminium foil sure sticks to my resin...but I did use REALLY cheap foil - it looks like his is the good thick stuff.
@@stephaniefairey8633 i think it's actually foul tape and he possibly put resin release on it
foil*
Sticks to mine!
So, yes I do use the slightly thicker version of foil that you can get from the supermarket, but I don't add any release agent. I do however use polyester resin, so if you use epoxy it may behave differently.
this look like a museum piece in a way
Thank you!

Very nice. You can really see the web.
I want to try this with a necklace mould! That would be so cool, i love the final product!
That would be a good idea, good luck if you try it!

Good work! 👏👏👏
Fascinating! Thank you! Beautiful result.

Come on people let’s get him to 100k !!!
its not a want, its a NEED. as a spider lover i need this in my house
Would love to see this done again but with a tarantulas webbing from an old enclosure, way thicker webbing which i don't think you would need to paint. By the way this turned out great! :)
Thank you! Not sure where I'd get tarantula web?
Waiting for E&K to also make one
I had the same thought hahaha

love it!!! i was shouting black background the entire time though 😂😂 would def watch a vid on that

no back ground color and add some color shift pigment or micro glitter to the web. or both... jmop. nice vid
