we didnt want someone to do our sisters bead,ive only been doing resin for a year so not experienced but followed your instructions and made an amazing keep sake for her our sister,thank you xxxx
I'm so happy to hear that, I'm glad the videos helped and sorry to hear about your sister
Nikki
I love that you only use vegan and ethical supplies
that is a ridiculously small amount of ashes you put in.
Hi Hazel, it's hard for me to detect tone on comments on the internet, especially as an autistic person, but I will try hard to address your comment with respect. A human adult after cremation will be perhaps one litre of cremation ashes; if someone wanted to keep a large volume of ashes they can choose an urn. If they want to keep their loved one close in jewellery, then I don't think it matters how much is in there, so long as the correct ashes are in there. If you use too much ash then the resin pieces don't have enough resin and can be brittle, and the colour would not be the same. I hope that helps. Nikki
wow ive never seen one of these before but wish i had . these are beautiful and excellent way to rememebr and keep your loved ones with you!
Would be a great gift to keep the person always in your thoughts . This is a great video
Amazing , thank you so much for sharing your amazing talent and technique!
Thanks!
I've heard of this concept but never seen it before. Thanks for sharing
I have heard of these but never seen them make! This one is stunning. I feel like this would be an amazing gift
Thank you for the tutorial. I've never seen learned about it before
Hey Nikki
Would love to know how you colour the inside of a bead using acrylic pigment? And what exactly is acrylic pigment? X
I use high quality art paint, the acrylic in tubes but it's quite a tricky technique. Hoping to do a video soon for everyone :) Nikki
Have you seen the USPSs new guidelines on shipping human and pet ashes?!
No I haven't! Thanks for letting me know. Do you mind sending me a link on Facebook please? I know that in the UK they have to accept any ashes, there was a court case forcing them to accept them due to a family fighting over them. I hope it's still allowed. Nikki
These are so pretty! I always feel torn between wanting to have keepsakes in storage where they won't get damaged, or having them out/continuing to use them (which usually brings me happy memories of the person). I think this is a great way to be reminded of your loved one and have something with you all the time!
Some people put the jewellery in a little shadow box (deep photo frame) inside a cupboard if they can't look every day. I think I'd want to be worn ;)
Nikki
Omg I love the charm so much. Super cute
Thanks Bee, I love how the light can pass through the charm instead of being one flat colour
Nikki
How can I make my own sparkle mix? Would I just use mica mixed with opal type flakes? X
Question does that resin turn yellow over a year later
Thank you for sharing your in depth tutorial for craft.. the detail and smooth communication is appreciated as well as the links... they look wonderful,
Thank You
Thank you so much, what a kind comment! Nikki
Hi super awesome :) bestest wife
Hi, will your moulds and inserts be back in stock soon please ? I have just placed 2 orders with you, but I'm waiting on these coming back x
They're all showing in stock our end, which ones are you looking for? Thanks
Nikki x
Loved this!
What do you do when you send a proof picture and they dont like the bead? When you make a new one what happens with the bead they didnt like as it still has ashes of the loved one
The same as you would if you made a mistake or got a large air bubble etc. You MUST return every speck of ash to the client :) You can charge to set the extra beads in silver but you should make them aware that you'll return it unset if the don't want to pay. I've seen a few artists who charge people extra for blanks like this or charge to return ashes or just don't return them but I think it's dishonest. I find that over half of clients will ask for any spare beads to be set with a core and the other half just want them returned as they are. Hope that helps
Nikki
The sound quality on this is great nik. Xx
Thanks so much, finally figured out the mic hadn't been picking up last time!
Where do you get the centres from please x
These are exclusive on my website, on Keepsaker Supplies :) If you click on the video description there are links to all the supplies. It might be a little arrow or it might say "show more". You can buy the whole thing as a kit, or if you have resin and tools already you can just buy the mould and cores

These are gorgeous...I'd love to see more of all kinds of keepsake pieces

Thanks Donna, I've just had a little baby so doing tutorials is a bit harder. The second half of my breastmilk tutorial videos is coming soon
Nikki
@@KeepsakerSupplies That's totally understandable, congratulations on your baby!!! A distant family member of mine is giving me the honor of putting her pets ashes in resin once they come back next week, it will be my first time handling ashes, I'll be putting them in a pyramid and I'm a bit nervous, and there's just not many videos on how to do this...do I just swirl them in like adding color?
@@donnar9864 although ornaments aren't really my speciality, I used to make them quite often. You need epoxy resin so follow the tutorials for "orgonite pyramids" and just treat ashes as you would metal shavings etc. My pet hate though is where artists mix ashes into resin then pour that into a mould, because it ends with wasted ashes. I prefer to pour the epoxy into the mould then wait till it's the consistency of marmite or molasses, then add colour and ashes. If you add them too early they will sink which will give you harsh lines and lots of clear spaces. If you wait, then they become suspended in the resin as if they're floating. Please be extra careful to wear PPE when using epoxy especially if you're allergic like me
Nikki
This could be a lovely gift for someone!
Can you make a video on putting dried floral into a bead?
