Thank you for showing the frustrating parts as well. Helps us learn to figure things out and to know its okay to make mistakes or to not get a concept perfect every time. Although it did turn out perfect. :) Would love to try this if I ever finish my other half finished projects.
I love the realism in your videos , as we all learn so much for people like you , the struggle with the cans was great as I know if I was doing it and hadn’t seen you I’d feel so alone , thinking what have I done wrong , so thank you
I've had this video on my "watch later" since you created it, impatiently waiting to get decent resin & the results. Finally, last night I had a test run on a tiny coaster. Oh my goodness, I am so excited to do something large and most certainly mixed media style. That's my go to but since paint pouring has been the rage, I have been wanting to do a collab with all 3 disciplines. Phew, so sorry to ramble on before even commenting about your STUNNING piece of art. That's the result of excitement to do my own.🤦♀️ You must keep creating these and please, please share your process/results. This video has HUGELY (cannot express how much) inspired me!!! Teal/turquoise and all tones of it is the most amazing colour (imho). The way in which you used the crushed glass and blowing it out with the straw? Incredible!!!😲😲 Truly! Thank you very much for sharing your video, I am off to see how you did the glass & any further videos you have made. I'll definitely be sharing this as well. Wow! Tyfs.C 👀👌🐾🐾
Wow going off to find out how to crush glass for this. I lampwork glass beads and have lots of different coloured glass rods. So glad to watch your videos. Very nice outcome. I also made my secong one with translucent pigments. Yep MAD resin. Great for hot Aussie conditions. Used it one day -outside like you - when it was 37C. Shortened worktime but that was OK.
Joolz the Jewel I love MAD resin 💖 your lampeork beads will work well for projects like this. I got this mirrored glass from ikea ~ I’ve got it in the garden section of Bunnings too. I did another resin sculpture pour experiment today - I used rose buds and tinted the resin with a vibrant pink and a sprinkling of glitter/ I’ll be posting it 2 days once I’ve popped the mold- that’s of it does pop out- cause I used plastic sheet layered over Aluminium foil - and it shrank and crinkled sigh I ran the heat gun over it to pop bubble 😂😂😊😊 hahaha live, learn and share the learnings I say :)
Its a beautiful color design! Remove from the mold BEFORE you try to bend and wrap it. The mold isn't designed to wrap. Once you remove from the mold, lay it on contact paper, then wrap it around a vase or glass. I actually use bubble wrap because I can roll it up to whatever size I want.
Very nice ! Great job ! And beautiful too ! I can't wait to try this. Yes, I'd love to see your revised video of this technique ! Now that you have the 'curves' worked out, lol! Thanks for sharing this and not cutting out the issues that this piece gave you! Pam
You could try replacing the cans with a piece of plastic drain pipe in your desired diameter, Then you could use small spring clamps to secure the artwork to the pipe to keep it from springing back up,
I love it!! But...I think I'd have gone for narrower tins, maybe like a Pringles carton or maybe a tube from Pilsbury dough or an inner tube of a kitchen roll. But that's just my thoughts. Definitely need blu tack to stop round tins/tubes from rolling, tho, or blocks. But a beautiful piece was made. Thank you for sharing with us.
There's a mirror paint out now that a youtuber tried. It worked great. Might I suggest getting clear stones or whatever and spraying a mirror finish on them yourself? Viola--no white or any other back but a less shiny mirror finish..... (the back is less shiny mirrorish finish than the front view through the clear item it's sprayed on)
She’s pretty awesome It’s important we acknowledge our founders and inspirations - it helps us all learn and it helps us record the history of resin evolution too.
Thank you Judi. I felt brave showing my first one- I make these often now- and they’re really fun to make. Thank you for stopping past and saying hello 😊
It's very very pretty..Just a few tips for you I've learned. #1 the mold is just a little too thick is why you had trouble.#2 next time use tape (double stick) with your cans so you can get it to stay where you want it to#3 Really #1 it would have been advised to put a piece of Saran Wrap over it while you're trying to mold the shape. Because your gloves take away from the shine of the resin!!. Hope this helps.
Great piece Maggie. I was thinking that your piece had a little more resin than Sues, and maybe that’s why it wasn’t so pliable. Resin cures faster the deeper it is. Sure is pretty. 🤗🤗🤗
Laura’s Art Corner Laura Usher good point - the second piece I created - I used only one cup of resin- and it was more manuable (is that the word I’m looking for? ) yet it cured beautifully hard by the 24 hour mark. Resin is amazing - no wonder we all love it! 💖
Oh what a trial bending that resin! Lol!! Oh my! I kept wanting to yell at you to protect the front with plastic wrap and then put a couple of cans on the front of the piece to weight the middle down. But then my sense came and realized you wouldn’t have heard me! Haha Well I have to say, despite all the troubles, it turned out gorgeous!! ❤️💜❤️
Hehehehe And so much time has passed since I made this one- I’ve got the process well worked out. I should show you all how I do it now A few changes that make a difference to both process and outcome.
I’m so glad you enjoyed it and that it gave you validation. It definitely gets easier - I make lots of these with no struggle now. I hope your projects are blossoming 💕
Lovely piece of work, you could try glue tack putty around the cans to stick them to the table and keep the resin art in place by sticking to them as you shape the bending design.
A larger cylindrical object with some weight in it for stability and leave it until it was completely set & dried would have given you a nice curve that would allow it to stand up after it was completed. They both turned out fabulous!
I think you can use a adjustable jig stand. 🤔 Possibly a peg board base with different heights pegs? Maybe some P.V.C. tubes (as another person mentioned in the comment section) with some short pegs on either side to keep the tubes from rolling away? Just a thought dear. 🤗 Anyways, your project was absolutely beautiful!😍 Many blessings to you & yours!🌹🤗
@@ArtMaggikwithMaggie Well? You have a wonderful talent that, you share with others. 💝So when you have a little "sticky patch", others are only happy to want to share some input to help you🤗! So you keep doing you, & we will be more than happy to keep watching, & be inspired.😁 👍May God bless you & yours! 🙏🌹💖
Something to stop the cans rolling would make that easier, it looks fantastic thank you for sharing x Edit: blue tack comes to mind 😉 Edit again: or maybe use small objects to bend it round like rolling pins or something
Hm... we don't have kmart anymore since about 10 years ago. I've been looking for such a large mat on Amazon but they either don't have sidewalls or they're much smaller. I have one about half this size I've been using for trays, but I've been unsuccessful finding this large of one on Amazon. I'll keep searching I guess. ;) Thanks for the video, love your work.
I found one on Amazon, atleast I believe it is about the same size, it's called Echeverest dog and cat food mat... I understand it's not a human cooking mat BUT your not using it to cook on... I hope this helps you...
Interesting. I've seen other videos where the resin is not in a mold and folds into shape easier. You'll find that the glass is preventing you from shaping it. Just a thought. 😊❤️🙏🇦🇺
Oh sorry. I didn't watch till the end when I asked you about the type of resin you were using, now I see you're using the epoxy one. Congrats for the project. It's really nice and I've found lots of inspiration for mine. Many thanks for your time
Extremely beautiful piece. Love the colors and everything. I think I might give it a try. I can't find the mat you used in this video though😥. I'm going to keep searching for one similar. Just my 1 cent
HIIII I have to say that its an amazing piece of art, I would love you make something like this!!! could you PLEASEEEE tell me the full list of materials? THANK YOU!!
Josephine Kang thank you thank you I’m going to do a remake of this video in 2 weeks so it’s better viewing and up to date.... I’ll list everything in detail in that video - expect it to be posted early November 😊💕
Where did you buy the huge silicon mould from please ? Would love to try this 😀😀 loved the finished results. Could you imagine them with a light behind ❤️❤️
Gail Lockey Aka The Messy Craft Room You can buy these at Kmart, if you can’t find them in the baking supply area there’s even larger ones in the pet area that are intended for puppy pee pads to sit on but are basically the same as what is used in this video.
Really straining to hear what you are saying Maggie. Beautiful work but think I will leave resin to you...try putting some bricks at the end to hold the cans/stop them rolling, even if you cover them to save scratching the resin. Thanks for sharing I admire your patience.
Oh yeah - I agree - seeing the struggle gives so much more learning than a smooth process. I love trying to add value like mistakes and struggles and even mindset moments - you know - whete nothing is going wrong in reality - but fear or a moment of lose of concentration throws one off their game! These are the best learnings in life. I’m so blessed that you all love this video and I hope it helped ignite your inspiration 😊
This is Beautiful!! Im wondering tho because i have noticed with my projects, the heat might be helping it cure faster making it harder to work with and bend the way you want. I did a small experiment with 2 pieces and found the one i heated cured twice as fast then the one i left alone. I could be wrong with something as large as your wonderful piece but thought it may be worth a mention. I am definitely inspired by this and would love to try a small one!!
Yes the more resin in the creation and the deeper it is- the faster the curing process. It was also a hot heat and well above the temperature resin is best to use in. Still ... a very very satisfying process that’s inspired so many people.
Makes me want to give this technique a go. It's gorgeous. Love MAD resin too.💜💜 Wonder if using a rolling pin for structure might be better? Will try I think.
Good idea- I’m going to use Pringle’s rounded box next time - and I’m thinking about different ways to add colour and shimmer :) Sue Findlay has given us all a very addictive project :) 💖
Would it be possible to lay the resin out like you did on a cooking sheet and shortly after once its held its shape to drape it over an object with many contours? As if it was creating a mold. Or would applying a higher viscosity resin over the object work better?
I'm wondering if you could've used something like a rolling pin on top to make it concave(?) And used something heavy to block your cans from moving? (Sorry didn't read through all of the comments nor have I worked with resin. Just curious if it could be an option without it leaving indentations in it)
I was thinking it might work better if you add something flat like some small wood blocks hot glued to your cans they'd stay in place and be easier to work with.
It looks like the landscape of Queenstown, Wanaka or Marlborough Sounds (all in NZ)!! You should do like 6 of them and sell them as high-end place mats.
Maggie I LOVED it. I loved the colors you used and I'm not sure how you got it to bend in the end, (I'Il re-watch it) but I LOVE the colors you used. I want to get MAD resin, but I don't know where to get it from. I'm a beginner so I'm trying to get everything together first. I'm going to love making things with this resin. SO COOL. Can you tell me where you got the supplies you used. I can look up your you tube on the crushed glass, but what about the mirror pieces? I would appreciate any help telling me where I can get supplies, like the MAD Resin? I live in the US. Thank you. THUMBS UP!
Hi Victoria/ I’m so so pleased with your enthusiasm 😊 once you get the supplies you’ll love doing this satisfying project. I got the mirrored glass from Ikea, however Amazon possibily have a substitute. MAD resin is Australian/ my favourite US resin brand is Stonecoat, however I’ve not made this kind of project with it - so I’m unsure about it’s hardness at complete cure. Have fun 😊💖🌷
@@ArtMaggikwithMaggie Thank you Maggie. I am excited. 2 questions. I bought a small set of Resin and Hardner that you mix together until I find one here in the US that is fast setting and doesn't yellow. I will find MAD Resin or one like it here in the US that artists like you like. Resin and the Hardner mixed together is Epoxy isn't it? The set I bought is suppose to be good, anyway but it's not much as far as amount.I thought I'd start small. My 2nd question is what size is your mat in inches? Does the bottom of the mat have to be shiny or should it be a matt finish? I never learned metrics in school eons ago in school. I hope they are teaching that in US schools now. Thank you Maggie!
Hehehehe imagine if I heard that randomly 😳😂😂😂😂 I’m so glad you were cheering me on 💖 it’s a great process Bd one I love doing regularly. I’m planning on doing another soon showing my new tweeks and additions to this.
Maybe try to roll up some hand towels and wrap them in plastic wrap or something. At least they wouldn't roll on you. Also you could do different sizes with the towels.
I filled it with water on a tray - and then poured it into a measuring cup - very sophisticated hey 😊😂 I’ll get you the measurements in a day or so - I’m away from The studio right now
Thank you for showing the frustrating parts as well. Helps us learn to figure things out and to know its okay to make mistakes or to not get a concept perfect every time. Although it did turn out perfect. :) Would love to try this if I ever finish my other half finished projects.

You could tape the cans together. And I bet some play doe stuck to each side of the can would prevent it from rolling/moving.
Its a beautiful color design! Remove from the mold BEFORE you try to bend and wrap it. The mold isn't designed to wrap. Once you remove from the mold, lay it on contact paper, then wrap it around a vase or glass. I actually use bubble wrap because I can roll it up to whatever size I want.

Maluable.means pliable. The deeper the resin, the hotter it gets, which makes the resin cure faster. Also depends on the resin. Very beautiful
Incredibly beautiful!
It was very satisfying and I make them regularly now.
Fabulous. Enjoyed your vid n end results.
Thank you - it’s sure satisfying and now we’ve hit so many options to hold cans still !
That's pretty cool. I've never worked with resin. Not yet anyway. Thanks for sharing.🤗

I’m so glad you enjoyed it and that it gave you validation. It definitely gets easier - I make lots of these with no struggle now. I hope your projects are blossoming 💕
Great outcome. I would suggest, using blue tack to hold the tins each side, then place time on top to make the bend perhaps .
Honey this be beautiful nice awesome piece
This is absolutely beautiful ✨So inspired!
Yay yay yay - get it happening 🙂
Great video and a beautiful piece. must have a go at one of these. thank you Maggie.
You’ll love doing it- a very satisfying project 💖

Such a gorgeous creation, thank you for sharing your creativity!
Thank you and you’re so welcome 😊
Waow! Love your work!!! Thanks for sharing!! 🤗😘
Awesome tutorial! I like messing with resin but it can be difficult! Thanks for the info! 🌹
You’re so welcome. Resin is sticky icky stuff/ but the effects are glorious. I wish I could find extra long nitrile gloves.
Lovely piece of work, you could try glue tack putty around the cans to stick them to the table and keep the resin art in place by sticking to them as you shape the bending design.
Great idea.
Girl, that struggle was REAL! I was biting my nails watching you try and bend it lol. Very beautiful pieces, and I can't wait to try this!
Ikr me too with a few choice words lol!💯🤣😁👍🏽 Great project just Beautiful ‼
A larger cylindrical object with some weight in it for stability and leave it until it was completely set & dried would have given you a nice curve that would allow it to stand up after it was completed.

I'd try a French loaf pan to help support for stronger curves... Obviously lined with silicone.. Great project, thank you!
Ooooo that’s another great idea 💡 we’re going to have many fabulous ways to try bending our resin
Stunning piece!
Thanks for sharing!
A rubberband ar thes base of the cans should keep them from rolling on you. Really beautiful piece!
This real beautiful,maybe you could get a friend to make wooden shape molds to lay them on.
That’s a great idea - I reckon I could even do that myself!
Gayle Osornio my thought exactly! Also maybe hit the cans with some hot glue to keep them from rolling once you get them set where you want them!
You should try using wooden dowells to bend it and hold it in shape.
What a great effect thank you for sharing 👌
You’re welcome- thank you 😊
WOW! This is beautiful! I love the first one the most! TFS Hugs!
Maybe take it off the cardboard, and use the slats of the picnic table to hold your cans from rolling away? Beautiful work:)
Oooo that’s creative thinking right here!
This is awesome and gorgeous
I love this! Beautiful!
Something to stop the cans rolling would make that easier, it looks fantastic thank you for sharing x
Edit: blue tack comes to mind 😉
Edit again: or maybe use small objects to bend it round like rolling pins or something
I would really like to see a finished product at night with light behind it.
It looks amazing
Not that I have this particular one anymore - gentle candles or stronger LED lights really enhances it 🤗
Great work! But PLEASE turn your camera horizontal. Thanks.
Hm... we don't have kmart anymore since about 10 years ago. I've been looking for such a large mat on Amazon but they either don't have sidewalls or they're much smaller.

Wish you would had taped the cans together so you could have gotten the wave effect
Wedges to hold cans in place, also a nonstick topper to weigh it down like a silicone oven matt lightly oiled
My first time watching you. It turned out fabulous!

Sue Findlay has given us all a very addictive project :) 💖
@@ArtMaggikwithMaggie just watched Sue's video. Now to get to Kmart. Have some tiles left over from trying mosaics so lots to play with.❤
Would it be possible to lay the resin out like you did on a cooking sheet and shortly after once its held its shape to drape it over an object with many contours? As if it was creating a mold. Or would applying a higher viscosity resin over the object work better?

Gorgeous. I think maybe smaller Cans (taller and thinner) and or a larger silicone and it bgg would've been easier to bend
Art Maggik with Maggie
This product can be crimped, very good
When shaping your resin, have you considered turning it front side down so you can limit the number of curves?
Can you share the links to the various tools and supplies you used please?😁
I was thinking it might work better if you add something flat like some small wood blocks hot glued to your cans they'd stay in place and be easier to work with.

I would appreciate any help telling me where I can get supplies, like the MAD Resin? I live in the US. Thank you. THUMBS UP!
Hi Victoria/ I’m so so pleased with your enthusiasm 😊 once you get the supplies you’ll love doing this satisfying project. I got the mirrored glass from Ikea, however Amazon possibily have a substitute. MAD resin is Australian/ my favourite US resin brand is Stonecoat, however I’ve not made this kind of project with it - so I’m unsure about it’s hardness at complete cure. Have fun 😊💖🌷
@@ArtMaggikwithMaggie Thank you Maggie. I am excited. 2 questions. I bought a small set of Resin and Hardner that you mix together until I find one here in the US that is fast setting and doesn't yellow. I will find MAD Resin or one like it here in the US that artists like you like. Resin and the Hardner mixed together is Epoxy isn't it? The set I bought is suppose to be good, anyway but it's not much as far as amount.I thought I'd start small. My 2nd question is what size is your mat in inches? Does the bottom of the mat have to be shiny or should it be a matt finish? I never learned metrics in school eons ago in school. I hope they are teaching that in US schools now. Thank you Maggie!
Hi copule you let me know here to buy the silicone try.
Thank you Vera much!
Really want to try this. I kept trying to tell you.....try a vase, wrap it around a vase. Hahaha
Hehehehe imagine if I heard that randomly 😳😂😂😂😂 I’m so glad you were cheering me on 💖 it’s a great process Bd one I love doing regularly. I’m planning on doing another soon showing my new tweeks and additions to this.
Minunat !
Or like... Set the cans in egg crate style foam so they don't move around... And then maybe have some kind of armature holding them in place as well
Try to roll your mold and use to weigh the middle row and the ends lifted with the cans.
Great input to the brainstorming session this thread offers.
Do you thing this would be ok to do for a table place mat type of idea?
May I ask what your silicon tray is called and where to get it? Ty
I’d suggest some double sided tape to hold the cans and bends in place maybe
Maybe try to roll up some hand towels and wrap them in plastic wrap or something. At least they wouldn't roll on you. Also you could do different sizes with the towels.
Another brilliant idea 💡- thank you 😊
Great tutorial Maggie.............how did you work out how much resin to use and what size is the silicon tray
I filled it with water on a tray - and then poured it into a measuring cup - very sophisticated hey 😊😂 I’ll get you the measurements in a day or so - I’m away from
The studio right now
That is absolutley beautiful.
What mat do I search for please ?
U need some rolled up tea towels to stop tins rolling xxx
