Hallo Petra, wie geht es dir? 😘 ich schaue dein Video immer und immer wieder an🥰, ich kann einfach nicht genug bekommen😍. Ich möchte meine eigene inlay molds machen und kann nicht warten bis ich alles zusammen habe 🤑 und Material ☺. Ich hätte da auch noch eine Frage. Nachdem du dein silikon inlay gemacht hast. Ist ja die Form noch da und man kann sie noch benützen. Kann man zufällig auch die Kristalle darin weiter wachsen lassen? Weißt du was ich meine? 🥰😘
Mir geht es sehr gut. Vielen Dank für die Nachfrage. ❣ Schön zu hören, dass dir mein Video gefällt. Schön, dass Sie damit beginnen möchten, Ihre eigene Inlay-Form herzustellen. Ja, Sie können die grundlegende Kristallform wieder verwenden. Vergessen Sie nicht, die Kristalle mit einem Glanzlack zu besprühen. Dadurch wird sichergestellt, dass die Kristalle beim Entfernen der Silikonform nicht abbrechen. Ich habe noch nicht versucht, ob man die Kristalle noch mehr wachsen lassen kann. Sie können jederzeit versuchen, die Mischung erneut zu gießen. Ich denke, es kann funktionieren. ❤😀
@@petrajongbloed4425 vielen Dank. Sobald ich mir den Kleber, die formen und das Alaun kaufen kann werde ich es machen und wenn ich dann was neues weiß lasse ich es dich wissen. ❤💙 Ich wünsche dir einen schönen Abend 😘
Petra... I just got mine in the mail yesterday. I’m excited! The question I have is... how many times can you do the mixture? I have see some with really large crystals but they were not gems or stones. Help please?
Great to hear that Calissa. I can imagine that you are excited. As long as you can desolve alum in the mixture then you can use it over and over again. The more time you add the mixture the larger the crystals will grow. Also if you let them grow in a larger plastic container then the crystals will also grow larger.
Thank you so much for your nice compliment Vanita ❤ I appreciate it a lot. 😀 If you are carefull with the base mold and alum crystals you can use it a lot of times.
I am thinking I may try this. You make it look easy. I will watch this video several times first. Wish me luck I am going to try and find some base molds.. can you use metal instead of plastic? Thank you my dear.. 🎨💙🎨
So nice to hear that I inspired you to also grow your own crystal and make silicone druzy molds. It's so much fun. I don't know if metal will work, but you can always try. Good Luck.
Nice to hear that you also want to try it Karen. I found this on Amazon and in the reviews someone wrote that she used it for growing crystals. www.amazon.com/dp/B00V5BWYO8/?ref=idea_lv_dp_ov_d&tag=onamzpetrajon-20&linkCode=ic6&ascsubtag=amzn1.ideas.QHQKH31AD8ZA
@@petrajongbloed4425, I just found some in Australia. It says it is a powder and it costs $16.99 for one pound. Is that enough? I have to watch your video again to see if yours started as a powder. 🌸
@@karenstrong8887 I think you need at least a Kilo. I'm not using a powder, but it's more the grain of salt. I heard some people use the powder and that it also works, but I have never tried it.
@@petrajongbloed4425, thank you. I will look for the crystals now near me. I didn’t think you used powder. I did not like Science at school. Since I started paint pouring and resin. I think I have earned a degree. It was much easier when I had an easel, brushes and paints. Now I have learned to love this. ❤️
Total inspirierend. Wo hast du die runden Behälter her? Und du sagtest du kannst die Base molds wieder benutzen, gießt du dann nochmal das Salz oder direkt mit Silikon. L. G.
Sie können die runden Grundformen im Etsy-Shop SiliconeMoldsStudio kaufen Barbara. Den Link finden Sie in der Beschreibung unter dem Video. Nein, Sie müssen die Salz / Wasser-Mischung nicht erneut einfüllen. Sie können sofort Silikonkautschuk darauf gießen.
@@petrajongbloed4425 ganz lieben Dank Petra, habe schon gesehen dass es die Formen im Etsy Shop gibt, muss schauen, Versandkosten sind meist viel, aber sonst findet man schlecht was. Hoffe es geht dir gut. Hoffe dass wir uns dieses Jahr mal sehen können. L. G.
They are so beautiful and sparkly! I love watching your videos, so much information for us. I tried this, but the mold didn't come out very sparkly. Do you know what I did wrong? I let the water cool first. Thank you so much for sharing your knowledge!!
Thank you so much for your nice compliment Tracey ❤ I appreciate it a lot. 😀 No, you need to add the water mixture when it's still hot. When your crystals have grown large enough you need to spray it with a gloss varnish. I hope this helps.
Dear Petraeus today I add too hot water in my mold and all crystals metled and some leave their place 😔 Should I wait for a little bit?? So water mixture could be less hot?? Please advice me
Hi Petra, I love the druzy effect and I have attempted to make some resin pieces, but had an issue with the edges. The crystal effect looked great, but there was a solid edge around it which dropped down into the crystal part. It did not have a natural look. I had to pour a certain amount to cover the druzy part of the mould properly, so the coaster was quite thick, with a solid edge and a sharp sudden drop down to the crystal part. You could not see the effect from the top of the coaster, only the under side. I did use some alcohol ink to try to lighten the colour, but it all merged together, to a pretty solid colour. I heard you say to try putting the crystal mould on the top, and saw you do that with the stars in another video, so I will give that a go. Do you have any advice for the mould on the bottom issue? Thanks for any help. Best wishes from Australia 🇦🇺
Hi Susan, I would like to see a photo of what you mean. Then I can give you a better advice. You can find my email address in the description box below the video. ❤😀
Dag Petra, ook ik heb na 3 lagen aluin met 24u tussentijd met succes een mal gemaakt. Dank hiervoor. Om de kristallen nog groter te maken, moet ik dan meerdere lagen leggen (om de 24u) of moet ik het mengsel er veel langer laten inliggen (dagen, weken)? Met dank.
Hallo Marc, mooi om te horen dat het gelukt is om een mal te maken. 😀 Ik heb geen idee, ik heb zelf nog nooit geprobeerd om grote kristallen te maken. Ik zou denken meerdere lagen, maar langer dan 24 uur heeft denk ik niet zoveel nut.
I attempted this, but my crystals did not grow evenly. There were areas that had grown higher, and other ares that barely grew any crystals. Any suggestions would be appreciated. I love watching you create. Love your videos. I have learned a lot. Thank you.
Great to hear that you also tried to grow your own crystals Iris. You can't control the grow of crystals totaly. If your mixture is right then the crystals will grow the most evenly. Thank you so much for your nice compliment. I appreciate it a lot. ❤😀
Hi Petra! So, what I understood is that you have to do three times to grow the crystals, but those times you have also put a layer of wooden glue also the three times? Thank you very much and I take the opportunity to tell you that I feel very sad for the death of your beloved Frenchie, I have one, 5 years old and I love equal as my son! So, I hope with all my heart that you're better. Sincerely 🐶🐾❤️🌷
Hi Paulina, yes to grow these crystals I used 3 times the mixture of alum and water. No I didn't put a layer of wood glue. I just poured it again on the crystals and after 24 hours I remove the mixture and add it again. Thank you so much for your kind words. We still have a male French Bulldog, but it's very sad that we needed to make the difficult decision to put our female French Bulldog to sleep. She was very ill and we couldn't see her suffer anymore. Every day I'm feeling a little bit better. ❤❣
Hello, thank you for the video. I also learned a lot from you. Now, I have a question, when you put the second and third time mixture salt water into the mold, did you wait until the mixture is cold? Or did you pour when the mixture is still hot?
Thank you so much for your nice compliment LW Dream Art ❤ I appreciate it a lot. 😀 No, when I add the mixture it is hot. Then you will get the nice crystals.
Thank you so much for your nice compliment Margo ❤ I appreciate it a lot. 😀 I made a playlist of video's in which I show how to use these silicone molds. I will include the link. ua-cam.com/play/PLWqX7R3JwkuOBloGc5yPoKh8xwParX1gz.html
These are silicone inlay molds. That means that you place the on the bottom of another silicone mold or you place them on top of the last clear top layer of resin Nancy. I will include a link to a video in which I show how I use these molds. ua-cam.com/video/XuQwm9O0ueQ/v-deo.html
Dear petra how are you?? I want to clear a confusion. When my alum get dissolve into water, water colour turn into light blue And next day when I reuse same water, while boiling i add more alum then water colour becomes more blue 🙄 Is it OK??
Hi TaSHa, thank you so much for asking, but I'm doing great. I hope you are oke too. I have no idea why your alum water mixture is turning to blue. I never had that happen. So I can't answer your question. Sorry. 😀❣
Greetings Petra, I have tried to do this several times and have failed. Is it possible to use the wrong alum salt? I currently have alum powder, very small granules. Is this the issue? Any suggestions you can offer is truly appreciated.
But how didn’t you wash your crystals away when you poured the solution for the second time?? 🤷🏼♀️ every time I try to re-heat it and use it for a second time it washes away any crystals I’ve grown already

Alum salt is slightly coarser than the powder. The effect is the same, but I think it goes a bit faster with the salt Mara.

These silicone druzy molds can be added in another mold to create the crystal effect. I have a lot of videos in which I show how to use these. 😀❣
Ho je suis triste , pas de traduction en français !!! Je ne comprend pas 😒😥 😘💖
Je suis vraiment désolé Claudine. Cette semaine, je vais essayer d'ajouter une traduction française. ❣😀
@@petrajongbloed4425 Ho merci à toi , c'est gentil 💖
Have emailed you Petra if that is ok, love your video's as a newbie.

Hi Petra, do you know if you get the same result with Epsom Salts?
Hi Shelly, I'm sorry, but I don't know, I did not try it with epsom salts. I heard from people that it does work.
But how didn’t you wash your crystals away when you poured the solution for the second time?? 🤷🏼♀️ every time I try to re-heat it and use it for a second time it washes away any crystals I’ve grown already
