Before setting the Elmer glue leaf in resin you can lightly spray it with pledge furniture spray. Very lightly It will s allow you to easily pull the glue leaf form away from the resin. It is technique like a mold release but it's a nice barrier for you to be able to release your pieces away from silicon, wax,or resins. I hope this helps 😁
HALLELUJAH !! 😄 Wow, I've been looking high and low for a more economical, mold release alternative. Thank you SO , SO much for sharing this great tip. I super appreciate it sis' ♥️. May God bless you.
Nice, thank you for your tip. I bought a mold release product and used. But pledge may be a bit more economical for me to experiment with, since I am new to the craft.
I agree! The only thing I do is Acrylic painting, which I took up a year ago. This is SO gorgeous! I really do not think that I would have the patience for something like this... Kudos to her, and all who do these type of crafts! I have a whole knew appreciation for these types of pieces! 🥰
An unusual and beautiful effect. I was thinking that the Elmers moulds could also be used for making impressions on air-dry clay - and re-used many times too!
one good thing about Elmer's glue, it is water soluble, so soaking the piece would dissolve the glue but destroy the inlay. I'm thankful you got them out without destroying them. what a cool project!
Clear, concise & charming narration with none of the “watching paint dry” boredom (thanks to wonderful editing!) Your finished piece is lovely & a stunning piece of art.
The tray has turned out beautiful. Love the way the mica powders wakeup in colour when you put the top coat on. Yet again you make it look so easy. Thank you 💝💝💝
Wonderful! I have been an artist for 30 years and am always looking for new ways to work with leaves in my art. My daughter was autistic and her most favourite thing ever was walking around the block - I mean EVERY. DAY. - and watching the leaves in the trees to see what they were doing: from the gentle ripples which she told me "The trees are whispering!" ...and each more furious movements of the leaves depending on the strength of the wind having their own "activities" assigned to them, such as "The leaves are dancing!" (her sister was in dance classes), and "The leaves are clapping!" You know...kid blew my mind...she was right: the leaves rustling gently sounded exactly like a group of people whispering, and when the wind was strong, the leaves sounded like a large audience applauding! Seanna's autism was caused by a serious acquired brain injury when she was only two months old, but Jeezus was this kid smart! She made observations that the rest of us completely missed. Seanna died in a seizure in 2007 just shy of her 16th birthday, but I will forever walk through the world, among the trees, differently, with eyes and ears open, now with my own passion for leaves. Working with them brings her back to me, places her right back there in the studio beside me, if only for moments here and there. I had some wonderful ideas for some new art while watching this video. I agree with the comments: you created an excellently edited and narrated tutorial. Thank you!!! It is my great pleasure to subscribe to your channel and look through your other videos. Blessings...Steph
Wow!!! Unbelievably beautiful!!! I’ve never seen this technique used before. That Elmer’s glue really is quite surprisingly strong… I never imagined. You should be so proud of your art… very beautiful and very unique. Thank you for sharing!
Oh, that is seriously incredible ❤ I have never seen this done before. Great to see such a beautiful and original work of art, that doesn't seem unachievable due to costs. Thank you so much for sharing this beautiful piece x
Making art is so wonderful. I do think you might think about creating without so much plastic at every step. Every piece of plastic you throw away will be on this earth for 600 YEARS. (they say). You have a lovely eye and make beautiful things.
Awesome experimenting video, Ms Shalina 😍😍,these leaves glue inlays are amazing and low cost options for crafters like me.I can definitely try something like this.Thank you for sharing this wonderful video, keep inspiring 😍💜💜
Absolutely stunningly gorgeous ❤ Wow fantastic idea you had using the glue Shalina. I will definitely be trying this. Thank you so kindly for sharing your wonderful talent and videos with us all ❤Take great care and hope all is well with you and your family ❤
I came here to mention coating the glue leaves with a mold release but I see it's been done... My other suggestion would be to make a silicone mold of the initial resin pour after the first step, then you could reuse it to cast many pieces between your two molds. Pour enough silicone to cover the original mold as well *Make sure to use a mold release of some sort on the original exposed silicone mold as the new silicone will become one with the other mold :) You will end up with a two piece mold that always fits together the same way. If you want to go a step further when the new mold cures... over all of the silicone add several layers of plaster of paris with a fiber sheet in between each layer. could be paper, cheesecloth, old thinner linens. this will give you a "Mother Mold" which will keep your molds even more aligned with a sturdy base. Do a search for Mother Molds on youtube. They have made my castings considerably easier and faster. You may already know these techniques but I thought I'd mention them in case you or someone else in your audience doesn't. Cheers!
Wow surprisingly beautiful ❤ I'm surprised the Elmer's School Glue worked because it's not permanent. The Elmer's All Purpose is permanent and does not break down if it gets wet. Great video! Thank you.
Excellent idea with the glue mould ❤ the leaves turned out so beautiful and looking charmingly natural although with the magic of the chameleon pigments ❤❤❤ And the elegance of the almost patine around the border of the tray, the weary shimmer of ancient gold on the black surface, oh such a fine touch ❤ Congratulations 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
I absolutely love watching others do their artwork. You’re very creative and make beautiful things. 💝👍🏽💯 This project came out perfectly. It’s absolutely beautiful.
Your tray is simply… beautiful. I decided to watch your video when it popped up o my screen, and am so happy I did. I had absolutely no idea what you were doing or making until the very end of your video. I have seen videos of resin projects before but not used in the same way you’ve demonstrated. After seeing your video and what amazing things that can be done using resin, I may give it a try: only time will tell. I am eagerly waiting for your next project and seeing what you’ll produce that I’ve subscribed to your channel so I won’t miss it. Thank you for the pleasure your artwork has brought me.
That's exactly what I'd been thinking of doing. I'd gather my leaves then I'd be stuck in bed. Had several falls do I've been going in for treatment. Anyway my leaves dried but not I'm busy w granddaughters b'day
Loved this idea, I do have a suggestions to can buy mould making fluid. It’s a mix together liquid. Maybe try after the balm layer in stead of adding glue, use this fluid and dome it as you can with resin (instead of the glue) this would make a longer lasting push in to your resin dish. Using the mould material it should be able to life of your first layer of resin and be reusable. This just a suggestion and in the long run it should save you lots of time and money. I have not done it but I am going to experiment doing this and I will let you know how it went.
A true lesson in eloquence and imagination, dhared prefectly. You are a study of Master craft. I have enjoyed this profoundly on so many levels but mostky yo know there is domeone such as yourself tgat is creative, kind spoken andxsharing. You have no idea how proud you should be of yoursrlf for so many reasons. That was definitely not JUST what met the eye but even more what you serendipitously shared of yourself .....so thanks! I got lots and lots out of that and cant wait to see more.
This is one the most beautiful resin projects I have seen. This the second time I've watched this video. I am trying to decide what project to use this technique on, Thank you so much for sharing this,

Thank you!
Would it help or hinder putting the release in the leaves as well? Lol at least you would have softer leaves. 😂😂😂😂
You are my hero!!!! Thank you soooo much!!! ❤❤❤
That would look great with the glow in the dark glue. Elmer's makes it also.
OMG! That's a lovely idea! ❤
I've never done anything with resin but this is one of the most beautiful things I've ever seen!
I agree! The only thing I do is Acrylic painting, which I took up a year ago. This is SO gorgeous! I really do not think that I would have the patience for something like this... Kudos to her, and all who do these type of crafts! I have a whole knew appreciation for these types of pieces! 🥰
WOW Beautiful
An unusual and beautiful effect. I was thinking that the Elmers moulds could also be used for making impressions on air-dry clay - and re-used many times too!
I treated my leaves with mineral oil. Perhaps a little mineral oil on the leaf before the glue may act as a release for the glue. Great idea! 💡 🔥
one good thing about Elmer's glue, it is water soluble, so soaking the piece would dissolve the glue but destroy the inlay. I'm thankful you got them out without destroying them. what a cool project!

Oh wow that tray is absolutely gorgeous. That was such a great idea with the leaves and glue!!❤

Thank you very much! 😊❤
Amazing and so lovely ❤ I wonder if a little bit of mold release would help get the leaves free easier.
Thank you so much! Next time, I will keep that in mind 😊
@@teaandartPledge furniture polish spray does the same as "mold release" and much cheaper.
That looks beautiful. I collected some leaves back in May (Australian Autumn), now I know what to do with them. You're an inspiration. Thank you 🩷😃
Thank you so much 😊 happy crafting!

WOW thankyou so much for your kind and beautiful words. I am so glad you liked it and so amazing feedback.I am grateful .
I love how excited you've been. So happy to watch
Spray the leaves very lightly with cooking oil before applying the glue. That insures an easy leaf, glue removal❤
What an extraordinary skill!
Thank you 😊
Even if it's been done before, you didn't know that and came up with it yourself. Bravo! 👏👏👏
Stunning! It well worth the time you spend making it! Love it 🥰
Greetings Maggy
Thank you so much 😊
That technique would make a great table top for a small accent table.
Wow now this is going to be Amazing thank you so much 🙂
Wowzers! That turned out so awesome!!! I love seeing things like this as it stimulates my brain to think outside the box a little more. ❤❤❤
Thank you so much!
No annoying background music. Yay!!
☺️❤️
Absolutely stunning 😍 those mica powders are beautiful. The edging gives it a vintage look 😀❤️🤗
Thank you so much! 😊
Beautiful! You make me want to play with resin again. Thank You
Love this technique! I have made the leaf casts and im ready to make a project now! Thank you!
That's exactly what I'd been thinking of doing. I'd gather my leaves then I'd be stuck in bed. Had several falls do I've been going in for treatment. Anyway my leaves dried but not I'm busy w granddaughters b'day

This lovely project has renewed my interest in working with resin. Thank you for sharing.
Thank you so much I am glad you liked it ☺️❤️
That is so cool. What an original idea. I've never seen anyone use glue to make an inlay.
Where did you get your tray mold?
Hi, the link for the tray mold is in my description 😊
Great display of patience and perseverance!❤ Such a lovely turn out 🎉
Thank you so much! 😊
omg the colors and everything are stunning. beautiful piece of art
Thank you so much!

It was fascinating watching you work on this project. I was just as interested in the glue mold, as I was the resin and the mica powders. BEAUTIFUL!!!
I am so happy you liked it 😊
How very cool ! What a clever idea !
Thank you! 😊
Fantastic video. Absolutely love the way this turned out. Such a clever idea that you put to great use. Thank you!
Patience and persistence pay off.
This is one the most beautiful resin projects I have seen. This the second time I've watched this video. I am trying to decide what project to use this technique on, Thank you so much for sharing this,
Gorgeous! N the glue trick is one i will definitly be doing. Thank u!
Just stunning the surprise at the end was exciting
Process was finely executed. Nice presentation. Cleanly done. Final results spectacular.
So beautiful. I wasn’t sure where this was going. I’m so happy I stayed until the end.
Wow, gorgeous! You are very talented!
Thank you so much!
I have no words! 😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍
It would be cool to use herb leaves and make a trivet...Im sure there are lots of ideas once you get the technique down. Tjank you for sharing!
Absolutely Gorgeous! ❤❤. I love Autumn 🍂 and this is perfect!! Thank you for the wonderful video!!❤
Thank you so much! ☺️
I was thinking since it is glue you could use water but the pledge idea ... Super ⭐
We used to do this 50 years ago when I was in Nursery School!😅😅
Stunning!! Thank you for sharing your entire experiment! This is so beautiful! ❤
Thank you! 😊
Very nice technique kinda like metal casting lost wax technique. Thanks for sharing.
Thank you so so 😊
Thank you so so much 😊
