JESMONITE: should be used wearing gloves, a dust mask and eye safety wear. This video is 9 mins of explaining the A-Z of everything Jesmonite ... which means I am talking .. If you do not want to know anything about Jesmonite please skip to 9 min mark... you can see me use it. PART 2: ua-cam.com/video/bSj75AB2--0/v-deo.html
I don’t know if this is like epoxy resin, but please check out the requirements for personal protection. You need actual respirators with resin. People are getting permanent lung damage because they aren’t using the right protection. Please be safe! You’re too beautiful to die young or have no quality of life! ❤️❤️❤️
@@sherrimiller5258 heyyyy Sherri ... I am safe beautiful ... I wear a respirator, gloves, eye goggles for Epoxy .. and this is not as dangerous BUT you do need to wear a dust mask. I have a dust mask respirator that I wear xxx and gloves when I remember... the jesminite pigment stains like crazy.
@@ClairesCraftyCorner Yes, Jesmonite is water-based and non toxic, so it's a much safer than resin, but the pigments are STRONG, so gloves are definitely recommended! And masks are always a good idea when sanding or working with powders. Love these videos Claire, your passion is infectious! ❤️
Would you happen to know why my jesmonite coaster got blotchy and gave color when I sanded it? 😬 I’m so overwhelmed as I was intending to turn this into a livelihood .
Thank you so much for sharing! So many artists are pretentious and secretive. If you’re good at what you do & you bring your own uniqueness to your art, no one can truly copy you, imo.
I couldn’t agree more... I have asked a few artists some questions and they have made it a point that they are not willing to provide any guidance. Claire on the other hand is awesome... thank you so much Claire 😉
I’m a previous resin artist myself and I agree this is an absolute GAME CHANGER. I’ve wanted to go back to resin for so long but it was too intensive for me and the chemicals were harsh too so this seems so amazing!! Thank you for this!!
Heyyy Tori, thank you so much !! It really is something exciting for anyone who needs a resin alternative .. not that it is the same but still an Eco Friendly non toxic alternative x
I am loving this I can not wait to try this. My children will love this as well. I have been making them so many things. I have been working with clay, wire, epoxy resin. Everything from jewelry to trays and coasters. Jewelry boxes. You are a delight to watch.
I literally just saw an instagram reel of someone curing this and thought what the heck is this stuff. I had been researching epoxy resin, but I thought it looked expensive and toxic. Your video was the first one I came across on UA-cam. It has been so informative, and I understand why you're so excited I will be too when I make my own. The fact that it's environmentally friendly, sustainable, and has zero waste and I don't have to wear one of those other ridiculous masks is a game changer! Thank you so much, and happy marbling 😊
Thank you so much for sharing! I'm a beginner in Jesmonite and I watched your video with a book note and pencil and I learned so much from you so thanx again!
I really like the way you talk about you’re projects. You are so enthusiastic and I’m feeling your passion. I smiled throughout this whole video. Thanks for making my day and giving me new ideas!
Thank you soooo much hunee xx I really was excited to start this new medium ... I am not so excited about the mess 🤣🤣🤣🤣 You won't ever hear me excited about what level of mess this creates 🤣🤣🤣🤣 still ..... im loving it xxx
Claire, Thank you for answering my question so quickly! I’m such a fan of yours, I tell friends and acquaintances to follow you. I can be having a terrible day and I turn on you tube and your videos and my mood changes right away. I also saw you have Claire at home so I follow that now. Thanks for sharing your knowledge! Your awesome!!!
It looks interesting and is actually available in Sweden. 2,5 kg powder + 1 kg liquid is about £70 and 200 g of dye is about £12 each and it's sold at my favourite craftstore. One day I might try it!
In my parents house in Indonesia ( it was in 1990 1st time I saw it), most of decoration pots for plants are using Jesmonite (natural colour) mixed with tiny natural stones with no sealing and it gives effect mat, not smooth surface and looks very nice. This material it's not a new thing and it was very popular back then in my country.
Thats so amazing ... no no its not new ... Jesmonite was founded in 1984 ... I think it's just becoming more mainstream art world now ... those pots sound so lovely 😍😍😍😍
Behind that wonderfully sweet voice, is a gorgeous woman! You are always so pleasant and charming. I love this jesmonite idea. Your pieces turned out beautifully. It's always great to hear your excitement when you complete an excellent project.
Wow, I've never heard of this material before! Thank you for this introduction! Hopefully I can track down a distributor for this in the States. It looks fantastic.
I've been reading up on epoxy resin for MONTHS but I was hesitant to give it a go with a small child in the house but now I know jesmonite exists. I'm very glad I saw your video for a non-toxic alternative.
Never heard of jesmonite in my life ! Love the marble effect and the curing time but not the mat effect. Cannot wait to see how you seal and discover more stuff about it xx
Thanks so much hunee ...yesss I think even with the sealant it will be Matte..... but I have reading more tonight so I think maybe an Afryllic Gloss spray would work xxx
Wow that's so cool! I actually love the matte look of it. Reminds me of white concrete. I hope more eco friendly and healthier resin alternatives will pop up in the future. Could you maybe demonstrate what happens when a cured piece gets wet? I think that would be interesting.
I watched Sharon try this. There is no way I am getting done in 10 mins!! 😅 I'm gonna get better with resin before I even attempt this. I'm so excited to watch your journey with it though 😃 One day I will give it a go, as how cool is the cure time 🙌 Can't believe more people wouldn't help you 😔 Crazy stuff. Thanks for sharing gorgeous 🥰💜
Tha ks so much Sara .. Yeh it has been a struggle to find anyone who will talk ... 🤣🤣🤣 Hoping that it will become as popular as resin and people will be more than happy to share xxxx
You’re amazing! I’m suddenly in LOVE with jesmonite so I’m loving this series. This obsession is coming hot off the heels of my resin obsession so I get your excitement!
Oh wow claire this was perfect you definitely made me feel like it’s something I could do and not be scared by it like I am resin lol and the dish and coaster is gorgeous I think I prefer the matte look tbh so pretty 🥰🥰🥰 xxx
Ok so I watch YT videos at 1.50-1.75x speed .....it makes you sound like a joyous lunatic and I loved every second of it 😂 thank you for posting this! I just started working with resin but, I think I'm kind of obsessed with jesmonite now! The planter ideas are endless 😍
Brilliant brilliant video, incredibly informative! Full of tips, inspiration, ideas. I looked at Jesmonite, when I started with resin. But, I was very reluctant with little information being out there. I now feel confident to give it a try. Thank you , another great video xxx
Usual thank yooooo 😍😍😍 this is exactly what I was hoping for ... I struggled too .. its like a walled community because its so rare right now ... but as it becomes more popular I am hoping things will open up ... in the meantime ... I am gonna be doing that 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Hey dear Claire! First of all: THANK YOU from the bottom of my heart, to make this video!!! My mom and I want to try it together & we have one question left. Do you finish your products with kind of beewax stuff or something else to make a matte or shiny look at the end?? If yes, do you have any recommondations of that?? Big higs from Ella & Lily
Heyyyyy lovely.... I am so glad you found the video helpful to start xx that was my aim 😍😍 I mainly use Jesmonite sealer .. but you can use a wax ... I made a video last week making real looking slate tiles and a wax ... you will find the details in that video x I am still looking and want to try an acrylic sealer spray x
@@ClairesCraftyCorner yes this video was veeeery helpful!! :) I normally paint on canvas and for this I use an acrylic finisher spray... but it‘s something else than Jesmonite materials. And thx, I‘ll watch the other video of you to find out those details. :) keep your shiny & friendly emotions spreading around!!!🧡
Yes queen because I’ve been trying to figure out what this is and like you said nobody wants to share however I used to be a raise an artist and I quit doing it because of the amount of waste it cost and how bad it is to the environment and instead I switch my company to a completely environmentally friendly company so I’m so happy you’re sharing this
I just came across Jesonite yesterday and found your video today. Thank you for explaining the process of it. What you've made is gorgeous! It's made me excited to try it out on my own. ❤
Precisely what I keep thinking. I love resin for it's transparency, ability to instantly set if using UV resin, and it's versatility, and long shelf life. Although Jesmonite is exciting and I love that it is eco friendly - all I see after research and watching videos is a lighter weight instant cement type of material.
@@FearlessNimue Hello Fearless! a doubt, is the powder part that is mixed made of a white cement? or would it be made of plaster? do you know what it's made of?
Thats Awesome Claire, new stuff to play with 😁. Question though: do you think it can be turned on a lathe? I hope one of your series videos is going to be to try it out on the lathe 😁
Thank you for your infectious enthusiasm. We had a demonstration of Jesmonite at art college 20 years ago. Then I forgot all about it. I've been looking for a stronger alternative to plaster of Paris which isn't smelly like resin. Gonna give Jesmonite a try.
Very helpful thank you. I usually work with resin but I like the fact Jesmonite is much more environmentally friendly. Can't wait to get started with it!
Thank you so so much for this video. For months I've been trying to locate a video like this and finally I stumbled across your video. Thank you so much for all your product knowledge 🙂
Your work is stunning & I'm with you with the excitement, I made coasters yesterday from their starter kit, it has a lot of flaws because my knowledge is purely from the website instruction without deeper technicalities & watching IG reels. This video is very helpful, thank you so much.
Thank you, thank you, thank you l so much for making this video! I did my first time trying jesmonite and I made a tray and coaster following your video. I am in love with them and can’t wait to give them as a present.
Heyyyyy Lauren thankyooooo right back for watching and supporting x so glad you loved it and found it helpful .. also so excited for you to be using Jesmonite I hope you love it x
Im so glad I've bumped on ur video. Ive been trying ti find information on this product for a month now 😢 and its been an up hill. This video has provided me with so much information 💃💃💃 Thank you 😊😊 only problem now is finding suppliers in South Africa 🙈🙈🙈
I'm a resin artist too and I just ordered my first ever batch of jesmonite. I've been researching since then and your video's been so helpful. So excited about the cure time and the fact that it is non-toxic and eco-friendly
Aw wow Claire. That was fabulous. Loved it. It is an expensive initial outlay but when you think of what you can do and how much you'll get out of it. And no waste either. Thank you so much for sharing.
Thanks Emer .. yes very true .. barely any waste at all .. although after doing my first Terrazzo coasters I am not sure its for me .. so my waste will have to be sold off I think ha ha ha
Oh, yes! As soon as you explained that it's non-toxic my heart did a flip! I've been dying to try epoxy, but it'll aggravate my autoimmune disease. In my case, this can be fatal, so that a no-go for me. But there's an alternative?!! Oh, boy!! I didn't even dare dream!! THANK YOU so much for this!!
ahhh I am so glad you found something you will be able to use ... you will still need a dust mask and gloves ... but not the heavy duty respirator etc used for resin x
I absolutely adore your excitement!! Thank you for being such a ray of sunshine ☀️ have a blessed day, thanks for sharing with us who are trying to find as much information on this as possible.
I so totally and completely loooove your enthusiasm!!! And I really appreciate all the information you are sharing! You're right, so many ppl out there keep it all to themselves for no reason... Bless you and keep posting :) ♥️
oh and one more thing, your work is so beautiful!! I will start using something similar to Jesmonite, it is called Acrylic One, and I am so happy to be able to learn from your videos since I am a bigginer! Love from Bucharest, România 🤗♥️
Eco friendly AND fast? Score!!! Thank you, I have never heard of this product. Now to hope they create more colors & effects!! As always, thank you for the smiles :)))
I found this video so helpful! Thank you. Just a thoughtful tip... Maybe a cooling rack for them to "breath" and harden just incase you are making multiple types and need the molds. :)
I love your passion you have for this project. I have never heard of Jesmonite until today when I purchased a Terrazzo kit from my local Five and Below store for 5.00 this kit came with the same tray mold that you are using in this video so now I have an idea as to what my finished product should look like. Thanks for this video it’s a big help.
yes! i've been trying to learn more about jesmonite for a little while and there are so few resources out there. thank you for doing this - so helpful and valuable!
Thought about starting a new business making resins and watching this video has been super helpful. Before this video I had no idea how to go about it but I feel ready to start just from this video alone. Thank you so much 💛☺️☺️☺️
Oh you've got me so excited. I've always wanted to do resin but then saw the results of jesmonite. I want to learn it all. Not sure where to start but have watched several of your videos now. So started with beginners. I have so many questions still!!
That's amazing so glad you have found the videos helpful .. you can DM me on Instagram with your questions and I'll do my best to answer if I don't have a video in the playlist xx
Claire that is awesome. Love the simplicity of it. How satisfying to demoed on 25 minutes after pouring. They are so stunning. Cant wait to see more. Thank you for sharing. You are such a sweetheart. Hugs Sheryl. 💙🎨💙
This is a very informative video..thank you Claire. It's nice to know that there is something that gives quicker results.. I like quick results when crafting
Thank you Claire for the amaaazing video.. I totally love your excitement throughout the video and I can't wait to try Jesmonite now.. :D Thank you so much..!!
Wow Claire,you are such a STAR !!! You are so helpful and selfless. Love love love your work. Marbling is a fabulous effect. How about doing one or more without the colour. Perhaps you could try the effect with different colours too. Even mixing the colours. 💙💙💙👏👏👏😎
How cool & so so gorgeous 💖💖💖 I want to try this so bad. 25 mins & unmold 😲😲 that's fantastic. Great tip to sit the piece back down on top of the mold to dry/cure properly 💖
Thanks so much .. so glad you love it .. yes it is a game changer .. They still need to cure outside the mould but can take them out after 25 mins x happily x
Thank you for this video. I have made lot of very heavy shutter cast sculptures in concrete and I am looking to reduce the size of my work so it can be cast in rubber moulds like resin can. This has been a very helpful video and it seems to offer me a medium which is somewhere between resin and concrete, and ideal for more detailed work.
Well first, never apologize for being excited. You look fantastic and sound so cute with your accent and excitement lol In regards to this product.... Hmm I'm not sure. It reminds me more of plaster of Paris. Like a stone product or something like that. Resin has that shine like glass quality that is so appealing and you can add so much to it. So basically, if you do both that's ok, each has something but don't stop the resin. Pleeease 😉 is great video as always Claire
Thanks so much Tracy ❤❤❤ Ohhhh I absolutely will not be stopping the resin.... This is definitely not as versatile for effects and finishes xxxx Just a great alternative ❤❤❤❤
Thanks for your great video ❤❤ I have four question: I appreciate if you help me with them 1. Is it heavy? 2. How can we make it more bright? I mean like coverage on it 3. Is it waterproof ? How can we make it water proof? 4. We can’t put it in dishwasher, correct ?
I just came across this new thing known as jesmonite and was curious to know more about it. Your video is just awesome and knowledgeable for someone like me who has absolutely no idea on it. And above all your enthusiasm towards your work is just something that I fell for. I am definitely gonna see your more videos related to it. ❤️❤️
Jesmonite isn’t new- it’s been around south Asian and south East Asian cultures for a while. It’s just that white people know nothing about it. Big difference.
Really love your videos. Cannot wait to get started with my Jesmonite. Can you tell me how you wash your pots? I did read some you shouldn’t put things down the sink?
This seems very similar to a new eco-friendly water-based “resin” I recently bought here in the US from Zuri-inc. Also similar to A1 Creatives in Europe. I did a video on it awhile back and had much the same experience as you. The main difference is I used very shallow molds with thin, shallow areas (like snakes around Medusa’s head). In the case of thin areas, the product advice was to let cure in the mold for 24 hours even though the piece was hard and demoldable after 20 minutes. I did that, but the thin bits were still easy to break even weeks later. So in that situation, it’s nowhere near as durable as epoxy resin. Very much like plaster. Anyway, I LOVE your videos and can’t wait to watch all your Jesmonite series to learn more!!!!! Thank you for a fantastic UA-cam channel 🥰
Heyyyyy lovely ... yes sounds very similar.. although this starts to sweat inside the mould after 30 mins ... so we cannot leave it .. but it is exciting to try new things x I will have to check out your video 😍😍😍😍 thankyou so much glad you enjoyed this xxx
I love love love (!!!) how excited and enthusiastic you are while working with jesmonite!! I just bought my first pack of jesmonite now, waiting for it to ship so I can follow your tips and instructions. Continue sharing your experiences! It's lovely learning with you :)
Thank you! This was very informative and helpful! I've heard of Jesmonite and seen a video or two on it, but they didn't go into any details about it. I love the marbling! It is really cool looking! I think I will be looking into Jesmonite after seeing this.
Wow! Your tray and coaster looks amazing as well as the trays at the end of the video. I enjoyed watching and learning. Can’t wait to see more. You are so beautiful inside and out! ❤️❤️❤️❤️

Although Jesmonite is exciting and I love that it is eco friendly - all I see after research and watching videos is a lighter weight instant cement type of material.
@@FearlessNimue Hello Fearless! a doubt, is the powder part that is mixed made of a white cement? or would it be made of plaster? do you know what it's made of?
Thank you for sharing all of this info. People are naturally curious about things and love to learn new things. This is great! 💜
heyyy lovely ... thank you so much I am glad you found it helpful xx
Thats Awesome Claire, new stuff to play with 😁. Question though: do you think it can be turned on a lathe? I hope one of your series videos is going to be to try it out on the lathe 😁
Heyyyyy Japie ... I have been asked this before ... and honestly if you can turn concrete then yes this should be turnable 🤣🤣🤣🤣
@@ClairesCraftyCorner well, i’ve seen people turn Rocks with carbide tools. Maybe its not impossible, who knows untill you try it 😏
@@PotgieterWoodturning ohhhh thats cool .. who knows .. I might just have to lol
@@ClairesCraftyCorner can’t wait 😁
Thank you for your infectious enthusiasm. We had a demonstration of Jesmonite at art college 20 years ago. Then I forgot all about it. I've been looking for a stronger alternative to plaster of Paris which isn't smelly like resin. Gonna give Jesmonite a try.
Heyyyyyy Mike .. im so glad you enjoyed the video. It really is super strong and so cool that you used it 20 years ago 🙌🙌
Is the sealer mat or shiny? Oh no, I'm getting interested! 🤦♀️🤣
Oooooo I don't even know 🤣🤣🤣 Have not tried it yet ... but will let you know xx
@@ClairesCraftyCorner 👌🥰💜
Me too, you're a bad influence!!!!
@@LiveSleepResin 🤣🤣🤣❤❤❤
@@LiveSleepResin But a great influencer 😃😃
Very helpful thank you. I usually work with resin but I like the fact Jesmonite is much more environmentally friendly. Can't wait to get started with it!
Heyyyyy lovely ... thankyou so much ❤️❤️❤️ so happy you found this helpful xxx
Your personality brings so much joy! Thank you for the video. I am hoping to start working with Jasmonite.
thank you so much Amber xx that really means a lot x
Thank you so so much for this video. For months I've been trying to locate a video like this and finally I stumbled across your video. Thank you so much for all your product knowledge 🙂
Thankyou I am so glad you found it helpful xxxx ❤❤ really took me a few months to find out more before I tried it x
Your work is stunning & I'm with you with the excitement, I made coasters yesterday from their starter kit, it has a lot of flaws because my knowledge is purely from the website instruction without deeper technicalities & watching IG reels. This video is very helpful, thank you so much.
Thank you, thank you, thank you l so much for making this video! I did my first time trying jesmonite and I made a tray and coaster following your video.
I am in love with them and can’t wait to give them as a present.
Heyyyyy Lauren thankyooooo right back for watching and supporting x so glad you loved it and found it helpful .. also so excited for you to be using Jesmonite I hope you love it x
Looking.. it's gorgeous
Im so glad I've bumped on ur video. Ive been trying ti find information on this product for a month now 😢 and its been an up hill. This video has provided me with so much information 💃💃💃 Thank you 😊😊 only problem now is finding suppliers in South Africa 🙈🙈🙈
I'm a resin artist too and I just ordered my first ever batch of jesmonite. I've been researching since then and your video's been so helpful. So excited about the cure time and the fact that it is non-toxic and eco-friendly
heyyy lovely .. yes it really is exciting .. and I am still in love with it so much x
Fantastic video!!! New product for my ears... looking great. Thank you for sharing ❤️😃👍🏻 always eager to learn new things 🤩😄🥰
Thank you so much lovely xx so glad I could share something new with you ❤❤❤
Aw wow Claire. That was fabulous. Loved it. It is an expensive initial outlay but when you think of what you can do and how much you'll get out of it. And no waste either. Thank you so much for sharing.
Thanks Emer .. yes very true .. barely any waste at all .. although after doing my first Terrazzo coasters I am not sure its for me .. so my waste will have to be sold off I think ha ha ha
YOU ARE THE BEST!!! Thank you for sharing all the information A-Z . Thank you a lot, these are literally HELP ME .
You're so welcome lovely xx ❤ glad it helped x
You are a joy to watch! I'm sold on jesmonite after googling it to learn more and your video came up :)
Heyyy Fen ... thankyou ❤️❤️ that means so much x it's a highly addictive thing is Jesmonite 🤣
Oh, yes! As soon as you explained that it's non-toxic my heart did a flip! I've been dying to try epoxy, but it'll aggravate my autoimmune disease. In my case, this can be fatal, so that a no-go for me. But there's an alternative?!! Oh, boy!! I didn't even dare dream!! THANK YOU so much for this!!
ahhh I am so glad you found something you will be able to use ... you will still need a dust mask and gloves ... but not the heavy duty respirator etc used for resin x
I absolutely adore your excitement!! Thank you for being such a ray of sunshine ☀️ have a blessed day, thanks for sharing with us who are trying to find as much information on this as possible.
Thank you so much xxx I am so glad you enjoyed xx
I so totally and completely loooove your enthusiasm!!! And I really appreciate all the information you are sharing! You're right, so many ppl out there keep it all to themselves for no reason... Bless you and keep posting :) ♥️
Thankyou so much ❤️❤️❤️❤️
oh and one more thing, your work is so beautiful!! I will start using something similar to Jesmonite, it is called Acrylic One, and I am so happy to be able to learn from your videos since I am a bigginer! Love from Bucharest, România 🤗♥️
@@nihonusha ohhhh thank you so much that really means a lot ❤️❤️❤️
I am also very excited like you pray for me I want to start the business of jesmonite products
Eco friendly AND fast? Score!!! Thank you, I have never heard of this product. Now to hope they create more colors & effects!! As always, thank you for the smiles :)))
Thanks so much Carol .. yes its a massive win win for me and so many ! Xxxx
I found this video so helpful! Thank you. Just a thoughtful tip... Maybe a cooling rack for them to "breath" and harden just incase you are making multiple types and need the molds. :)
Beautiful. Enjoying the background music at the end there, lovely. Great video and appreciated.
Thank you so much xxx glad you liked it ❤❤
Thank you for this.Just got some jesmonite n didn't know what to do! Not going anywhere else for tips etc. You're a star
ahhh Sheena thank you so much really glad you found it helpful xxx
I love your passion you have for this project. I have never heard of Jesmonite until today when I purchased a Terrazzo kit from my local Five and Below store for 5.00 this kit came with the same tray mold that you are using in this video so now I have an idea as to what my finished product should look like. Thanks for this video it’s a big help.
Thank you so much. I love to experiment and try new things also. This video is very helpful and your enthusiasm is contagious. ❤️
Heyyyy Connie ... thank you ! so glad you found it helpful xxxx
I love it 😍 Thank you for all info ❤️
Thankyoooo ❤️❤️ so glad you found it helpful ❤️❤️
Hi Claire lovely channel I've just told my three daughters to check you out as they all love craft work. 🙂
Ah thanks so much Karl 🙌🙌 that's so amazing
yes! i've been trying to learn more about jesmonite for a little while and there are so few resources out there. thank you for doing this - so helpful and valuable!
You're so welcome! so glad its helpful xxx
Thought about starting a new business making resins and watching this video has been super helpful. Before this video I had no idea how to go about it but I feel ready to start just from this video alone. Thank you so much 💛☺️☺️☺️
Oh you've got me so excited. I've always wanted to do resin but then saw the results of jesmonite. I want to learn it all. Not sure where to start but have watched several of your videos now. So started with beginners. I have so many questions still!!
That's amazing so glad you have found the videos helpful .. you can DM me on Instagram with your questions and I'll do my best to answer if I don't have a video in the playlist xx
Love your enthusiasm!! Thanks for all the info and sharing!!
Thank you so much ❤❤
I love this video, your projects turned out amazing. Love how you explain everything and bring such positivity with your voice.
Claire that is awesome. Love the simplicity of it. How satisfying to demoed on 25 minutes after pouring. They are so stunning. Cant wait to see more. Thank you for sharing. You are such a sweetheart. Hugs Sheryl. 💙🎨💙
Thanks so much Sheryl 😍😍😍 so glad you like it xxxx
This is a very informative video..thank you Claire. It's nice to know that there is something that gives quicker results.. I like quick results when crafting
Thanks so much.. I am the same ... absolutely adore quick ! 😍😍😍
Thank you Claire for the amaaazing video.. I totally love your excitement throughout the video and I can't wait to try Jesmonite now.. :D Thank you so much..!!
Wow Claire,you are such a STAR !!! You are so helpful and selfless. Love love love your work. Marbling is a fabulous effect. How about doing one or more without the colour. Perhaps you could try the effect with different colours too. Even mixing the colours. 💙💙💙👏👏👏😎
Thankyooooo so glad you love it ... and yes .. I am absolutely going to try that too 🙌🙌🙌
Thank you so much for your video. Your excitement and laughter was so infectious I couldn't help myself from watching to the end. 🧙♀️🦉💟
Heyyyyy Scottie, that means so much thank you xxx
How cool & so so gorgeous 💖💖💖 I want to try this so bad. 25 mins & unmold 😲😲 that's fantastic. Great tip to sit the piece back down on top of the mold to dry/cure properly 💖
Thanks so much .. so glad you love it .. yes it is a game changer .. They still need to cure outside the mould but can take them out after 25 mins x happily x
@@ClairesCraftyCorner that is so cool, thank you 🤗💖🤗💖🤗💖
@@naptimecreations ❤❤❤
Thank you for this video. I have made lot of very heavy shutter cast sculptures in concrete and I am looking to reduce the size of my work so it can be cast in rubber moulds like resin can. This has been a very helpful video and it seems to offer me a medium which is somewhere between resin and concrete, and ideal for more detailed work.
Well first, never apologize for being excited. You look fantastic and sound so cute with your accent and excitement lol In regards to this product.... Hmm I'm not sure. It reminds me more of plaster of Paris. Like a stone product or something like that. Resin has that shine like glass quality that is so appealing and you can add so much to it. So basically, if you do both that's ok, each has something but don't stop the resin. Pleeease 😉 is great video as always Claire
Thanks so much Tracy ❤❤❤ Ohhhh I absolutely will not be stopping the resin.... This is definitely not as versatile for effects and finishes xxxx Just a great alternative ❤❤❤❤
@@ClairesCraftyCorner yeah and yes your right lol
What an informative video! 😊 thank you SO much! Love your enthusiasm!
Thanks for your great video ❤❤
I have four question: I appreciate if you help me with them
1. Is it heavy?
2. How can we make it more bright? I mean like coverage on it
3. Is it waterproof ? How can we make it water proof?
4. We can’t put it in dishwasher, correct ?
Thank you thank you, I love your explanations and generosity, I just started using jesmonite, and your vídeos are so helpful , thanks again!
Thank you so much Lola xxx really means a lot x
Great video
Thank yoooooo ❤️❤️
I just came across this new thing known as jesmonite and was curious to know more about it. Your video is just awesome and knowledgeable for someone like me who has absolutely no idea on it. And above all your enthusiasm towards your work is just something that I fell for. I am definitely gonna see your more videos related to it. ❤️❤️
Heyyyyy Ekta... this is so amazing thank you I am so glad you found it helpful xx I have lots of videos on it now xx
Jesmonite isn’t new- it’s been around south Asian and south East Asian cultures for a while.
It’s just that white people know nothing about it.
Big difference.
Really love your videos. Cannot wait to get started with my Jesmonite. Can you tell me how you wash your pots? I did read some you shouldn’t put things down the sink?
This seems very similar to a new eco-friendly water-based “resin” I recently bought here in the US from Zuri-inc. Also similar to A1 Creatives in Europe. I did a video on it awhile back and had much the same experience as you. The main difference is I used very shallow molds with thin, shallow areas (like snakes around Medusa’s head). In the case of thin areas, the product advice was to let cure in the mold for 24 hours even though the piece was hard and demoldable after 20 minutes. I did that, but the thin bits were still easy to break even weeks later. So in that situation, it’s nowhere near as durable as epoxy resin. Very much like plaster. Anyway, I LOVE your videos and can’t wait to watch all your Jesmonite series to learn more!!!!! Thank you for a fantastic UA-cam channel 🥰
Heyyyyy lovely ... yes sounds very similar.. although this starts to sweat inside the mould after 30 mins ... so we cannot leave it .. but it is exciting to try new things x I will have to check out your video 😍😍😍😍 thankyou so much glad you enjoyed this xxx
can i just say that i am mesmerized by your accent and your dialect
Heyyyyyy Bashley.... that is so cool thank you .. are you in the USA ?
This video was a real treat thank you so much! You have such a nice vibe and I love your enthusiasm!
Thank you so much Daniel ... so glad you enjoyed it and found it helpful :) xx !!
Very interesting and informative video, was wondering if it could be used to make candle jars and wheather it is heat resistant.
I love your excitement! Thank you SO MUCH for this video. This is precisely what I been looking for the last 3 months!
Heyyy ... you are so welcome thank you so much xxx I am glad you found it helpful x
Oh my God you are wonderful!!!! I enjoyed so much your video!!! Thank youuuuu!!!! For sharing ❤️❤️❤️

I love love love (!!!) how excited and enthusiastic you are while working with jesmonite!! I just bought my first pack of jesmonite now, waiting for it to ship so I can follow your tips and instructions. Continue sharing your experiences! It's lovely learning with you :)
Thank you so sobmuch Tuba ❤️❤️❤️ That means a lot and I hope you love it ❤️❤️❤️
Thank you so much I've been searching for a while to find a perfect marble looking Resin texture and you've help loads thank you
So glad this was helpful x thank you :)
Thank you! This was very informative and helpful! I've heard of Jesmonite and seen a video or two on it, but they didn't go into any details about it. I love the marbling! It is really cool looking! I think I will be looking into Jesmonite after seeing this.
Wow! Your tray and coaster looks amazing as well as the trays at the end of the video. I enjoyed watching and learning. Can’t wait to see more. You are so beautiful inside and out! ❤️❤️❤️❤️
Thanks soooo much Lisa ❤❤❤ So glad you enjoyed it xx I am loving playing with it xx
