 Better maybe one day. I'll just do an ASMR or just a silent live feed So Paula TD Brittany Sorry about that audio Issue I put my mic on and didn't turn it on so that's exciting So you can see I hope those swirls that are just around You can see them there You look almost like fishing line wire That's from scraping off of the sides If you don't get that mixed in your piece may not cure Properly so you always have to make sure you get those Edges So are you guys almost ready for? Christmas or whatever Holiday During this time of year that you celebrate. I wish I was more edgy educated on all the different Festivities this time of year I'm gonna learn them all eventually today's just not the day. All right look So that's the I still yo stand mixer you can get it on Amazon I have my Amazon link down in the description box under this video if you want to check out The I still yo stand mixer But like I said, it's great for doing most of the hard work But then you really need to make sure you scrape the sides the bottom and the stir stick That you're using I am not using our patented stir sticks today because I'm running low. You guys have been buying them up during our tiered sale special I think it's self-explanatory, but if you have any questions, let me know and forever $50 spent you get a scratch off ticket which Are a hit every year We have some really awesome prizes to give away this year as well I'm still trying to see if I can get I still yo to sponsor one of the giveaways and I will update the prize list as I know something so I had a private one-on-one class yesterday and my lovely students made this Geode and I was super inspired by it. So I'm gonna do a black white and gold Geoid with you guys here today. So first things first. This is our Geode freeform cradle board, it's got a lift in case you want it to be a centerpiece and it's got this routed out Edge so that you can mount it on a wall I'm gonna use some mirror I Still don't have A little bit of tickle from the cold that I've Jeff and I have been suffering from I Don't remember what I was saying, but what I'm doing is adding mirrored fireglass. Oh, yeah, because I I'm running short on my non mirrored fireglass. I usually don't use the mirrored ones because they I Don't know why but I usually don't I think I like just the iciness of the other kind better So let's get to mixing. I'm gonna do black white. I think a translucent and A gold so black White Translucent and a gold And then I have some resin left Then I'm going to use to bond my Fireglass down you can get all these products that I'm using today on my website artistledeth.com And you may as well go ahead and use these super awesome sales and discount codes that we have going on right now Because why not? Yeah, I've been struggling with a bit of a cold, but We're getting better We're getting there Okay So I'm going to do an opaque white With I'm using a lures angel white, but I'm out of it if you like this white I have in stock currently while I'm talking Titanium from just resin, which is very very similar. I Am using black passion paste from color passion for the black I Do have that in stock And I'm using color passion old gold for the gold now when I do gold. I always Super overload my gold. I just I get better results that way and It just for me it works better. Some people say it's wasteful. I say I'm thorough But you know to each their own I just don't want to get stuck with a translucent or faded or dull Color payoff because I didn't add enough pigment. Obviously you can put a little bit mix it and See what it looks like And then add more if need be obviously You can add as much as you want. It's impossible to take it out at least To my knowledge that you know people may have found a way to take color out of resin, but I don't know and I haven't figured it out so Science Alright, so we're gonna make this white opaque it is not You need to add a little bit more if you use paste don't double dip because you will end up with a beautiful puck your paste will solidify because of the Ingredients in your resin makes the paste cure I don't know all the science behind it, but I do know that don't make that mistake. Don't ask me how I know just I know The black is also gonna be an opaque shade. I want it to be Midnighty as midnight black can be Tg. I love the moustache. I just got some of those back in stock and I'm going to Have some of this Into here because I have just decided that I want to have also a gold glitter Usually don't use glitter glitter glitter But I feel like today's a good day for glitter glitter glitter Anytime I mix in a mica or glitter. I kind of just you just you have to just fold it in you just right up and over Until your shirts not going to puff out in your face that way you reduce the amount of Micah and or glitter that's going to be floating around in the air Okay, so I'm gonna put just a little bit of my opaque white into my Clear that I have left and that's going to be by translucent by translucent. I mean I want to be able to just barely see through There was it's kind of like the frosted glass look like if something was standing behind it And it was on a clear background you'd be able to make out a shape but not details Transparent is when you can make out details translucent is where You can see that there's a figure but not what it is exactly hope that makes sense All right, let's get this pot Okay To start I'm going to put gold around my center because that's just my process. I always like to have in the center a really bright Metallic color and I haven't poured it all the way into the center because Yes, you guys can see pretty well I haven't poured it all the way into the center because it's gonna run and Move into the center. Anyways I'm trying to just Buy myself some time before that happens. I also leave a Good-sized gap in between my colors so that I can fill it in myself When you first pour out resin, it's gonna pour out depending on the viscosity of your resin at a Quarter inch but resin self-levels at an eighth inch So I'm gonna kind of manually self-level it where I need it to be in a moment You can already tell I made too much resin So we may be making coasters. I have some handy just in case Now let's use some of our translucent white That's gonna look really cool If I can get it tilted over The stark black that we have put down also I kind of vary the weights of the lines that I put down so The Gold is about a pinky some of the areas of the black are thicker than my thumb Some of the areas of the white are thicker than even that I like to kind of vary how thick of the lines are that I put down and that is Essentially a design element. It's a choice Sorry, apparently I can't talk in for gold But you can do your Lines your shapes however you want Obviously And this is actually probably gonna self-level all the way out to that edge. So I'm not gonna really Fiddle with that too much more. I'm gonna take my star stick and just push the line of color Till it meets The next line and actually actually I'm gonna put a coaster down where it's already breaking to try to catch I Don't know. They will put that one there try to catch any overflow And that'll go ahead and be the base of any coasters that we get to do So I'm just doing a little too tiny circles to kind of match up one line to the next one And I also use this time to Pull any resin off if it's a little bit too heavy And I also will use this opportunity to add kind of different weight Different motion into my line. So some of the lines. I don't have that much Like right here, it's just kind of a straight line and I kind of wanted to have a little bit of scallop so I'll just use this time to Add some scallops just by how I push One color into the next one And it looks a little bit covered up there, but I think I'm gonna swipe this one and you'll be able to see Anything that we hid with this Push When we swipe it Should I swipe it or should I use the heat gun? What do you guys think? In my head, I was gonna swipe it, but I want to know What y'all think because I like painting what you guys want me to paint It's in process And I don't know if you saw what I just did, but I'm short on resin on this side, but I have kind of plenty over here so I just skim basically just off the top and scrape it onto the area that I need it to be in Because waste not want not All right, so we have the black but where we want it Now we need to do that to the white And this is the same process i'm just Pushing it into any voids the idea is that we don't want any raw space in between the colors And by raw space. I mean like dry canvas or The areas of the canvas that don't have any A resin on them yet and it's okay if you Are gonna swipe and you get kind of some color That trails into your maybe can you turn that down just a hair? It's okay if like this area. I kind of pulled some color back in That is perfectly fine if you're gonna swipe if you want to keep your lines clean then that may not be the best avenue Shelley you be super careful while driving Hey, hey, hey everybody so Everybody's saying heat gun. So we'll do the heat gun. I happen to have one right here It has the wedding cake attachment And first things first i'm gonna pop The bubbles That's gonna allow me to see if I have anything floating in the piece You think I need to address pick out or any spots that I didn't get um the resin on I try to Yield zoomed in I almost like it just like this, but we're gonna As ronda says take it to the next step Now all of my these are off That's fine fine. It's fine. Okay, so i'm gonna push my white Over the black So I get this kind of ripply look. I don't think you guys are zoomed in as much as I need you to be so I'm gonna do low heat I mean high heat and low airflow on this bit Just because I don't want um Too much happening I want to be able to control The gold line that's behind it Sometimes you have to use your face and that's okay. Are you guys seeing the difference? That happens when you Okay, when you heat the old gold It kind of makes it turn from this I got resin on the mic I don't even have the paper towel over here. Can you guys still hear me? It's been 47 years since I got anything The mic took a little dip dip dive All right So I guess that's where that happened. All right, so you can see this area It's kind of speckledy right here But solid over here and that's because you can see by this effect That that's where the heat was going So watch this gold when I put a whole bunch of heat on it See how all the little particles come to the surface and it makes it kind of more solid I love that about this color and the Sorry last we're trying to thought This color and double a seven I think I like the gold coming into the white and some into the black. So I'm gonna try to Push more gold into that design Yes, yes See you would love this just so you know. Oh my goodness So it's starting to drip here and it looks just like molten gold drip and I'm really digging it. So Okay, so I'm going to Put just a little bit more gold here Just scoot it up to the edge and just let whatever drip down Drip down because I love a gold drip if you've been following our channel for any amount of time You already knew that I'm not telling you anything new So I'm not forcing it down. I'm just filling up that edge So that should The resin want to it can break that surface tension and go down Additionally you can see The new that I put in is darker than the gold that's there and that's because I haven't hit the new with Heat yet. So it hasn't floated to the surface But when we add the heat It'll match right up I'm just trying to blow it a little bit over the edge A little help a little help See you should come look at my this. Oh, I forgot I had Should I add the gold glitter or no the og days? Yeah, great Angie Glitter or not where we sell that glitter. We do sell this glitter sell that gold Yeah, it's old gold and it went super molten and I like the drippies down. It's like I want to I want to add this but I don't know where I could add it that it would Help the piece rather than Take away from the piece. I would put it just in these little spots a little bitty Just where it's like gathered. So it's like a special spot not on this. I wouldn't put it on that You're trying about pouring it into here. Yeah, just where it's like gathered here, baby. Just maybe Okay, we'll just try that. It's a liquid. I thought that was like straight glitter. No it is Well, it's now Now obe So I am using the aluminite quick coat tonight And I'm just doing that. Do not don't try to use it. Yeah, it's getting gummy call it Mark it up to the game. Yep charge it to the game So no glitter in this one Yeah, I wouldn't use glitter in that that looks so classy I am gonna add glitter glass because what is a geoid without glitter glass question mark? Like zoomed in, huh? I did have it zoomed in Oh, it's not zoomed in. No, I did it was you just pinch it and goes back What caused the cells in the white so? As tg mentioned, I am using the color passion Black passion and when you use a color passion paste and you manipulate another paste over it That's gonna give you the larger size cells put that put that back over in front of that gold No, go back Put it put it bring it down and then come forward right bring it down a little I was showing them that you can see the reflection But if I get it close enough to be able to see the work. Yeah, kind of But look at that. That's how amazing that gold is you can see the reflection Good got it so um When you put another brand of paste over I used a lot of heat here. So it's kind of starting to separate Yeah So typically when you do Use a base cell activator like the color passion paste you don't use that much heat I typically stick to swipes when I do that Sorry for the movement but anytime you manipulate a Another brand of paste over a color passion paste It will give you the larger cells if you use less heat It'll keep the cells that we had like 15 minutes ago, but I use so much heat that it's just They're kind of blurring a bit. That's it's still my shadow, but you can still see my finger Like that's my finger Um, it's not a paste over a paste. It is a different brand of paste over a color passion paste All color passion paste our base paste except for the one labeled top cell white The other ones other than a base cell white are not labeled as a base cell. I know it's confusing But for example, this black passion is not labeled a base cell paste But it is as are all the other paste That we carry by color passion our base cell So for example on this one, I manipulated the white That is not color passion Over the black that is color passion and that's what gives us this reaction I don't mix any silicone into my resin. I don't use alcohol spritz for cells It's just a factor of A paste With the magic in it Being under a paste that doesn't have that particular magic in it If you put two color passion paste over each other, it will not work So I hope that makes sense Shannon. You've got my number if you need like A sidebar further explanation. I'm happy to give it to you But I'm super pumped with how this piece turned out. I think I want to do a large scale piece. This one is an 18 inch Cradle board. I think I want to do A monochromatic maybe 24 by 36, I think that would look amazing so I couldn't do a whole bunch of Coasters like I intended to my resin set way faster than I thought it would But if you're interested in a quick curing UV resistant epoxy all by the chemical can Um Then I recommend the Illumilite amazing quick coat Oh, now it makes you want to do smushes Anyways, um Hi Julie Non color passion paste over color passion paste. Yes I typically do a swipe which is why I have my swiping papers here and I'll swipe for example with the colors I use tonight I'll put a white And then the color passion. Well if we're going to do colors you did tonight So I did the white and then the black Then I'll put my swiping paper down in the white and swipe it over the black Hit it with just enough heat to pop the bubbles You don't want to do any more than that because then your cells are going to Kind of grow as the resin self levels because you've got it really thin from all the heat Until the cells kind of break and dissipate a little bit. So you don't want to use a lot of heat when you use a base cell I should have if I wanted to keep the cells rigid Um hit it with heat and then just use my face to kind of puff the Waves of white over the black that would have saved the amount of heat used And my cells would have stayed rigid Laura taylor, what's up lady? How are you? A lot of you may not know laura taylor artsy seven studios is one of our ogist fam And we love her but she's always super busy with saving lives This is what we did tonight laura very og style Geoid monochromatic I think it's super fun You guys know what tomorrow is canvas's birthday canvas What are you doing? Did you know tomorrow's your birthday? Did you know that? She's like awesome. Can I get some of those pretzels right there? Don't you do it? I'm watching you Also, yes, that's because of her Um In other news i'm working on this birch tree project To make them look like birch trees. This is essentially just a background with One tree done ish Also My big boy Don't mind my studio floor. It's a little bit of mess because my husband got me a wheel I've been trying to throw some wine glasses And they look like wine glasses until An actual wine glass goes next to it I was not paying attention. So essentially I have a bunch of tea light holders But they're festive question mark so, yeah I get to re-throw all of those and If I had any more resin I would Do coasters with you guys, but unfortunately I do not I'm just Are all cp base cell or is that just flat colors without shimmer all of the cp Pace except for the one that says top cell white are base cell and that includes The metallic so the metallic and the flat will both do the same thing. I will say though that the flat ones tend to look nicer And the cells will grow bigger but the Metallic ones still will do it Thank you tg I'm so sorry your knee hurts, laura But you see a smiley face on the coaster. I do too Um I can do a live tomorrow Um that shows the difference in top cell and base cell and just demos that if if you guys Like wine glass can be shaped however you like true sherry, but it's This the three ounce Size of the wine glass. That's not Cope aesthetic for me. I mean the shape I can deal with but It's the size So if you guys want to try out the color passion black passion I don't have any lares white, but the titanium from just resin is Very similar The old gold by color passion the fire glass the glitter glass The geode cradle board or coasters. I didn't use You can take advantage of these sales right here on my website artists left out com supporting a small business supports a dream Just want to throw that out there and for every $50 spent you get a scratch off Uh I got so many awesome prizes for scratch offs. I can't even tell them all to you right now. You just have to check out my website Artist still that dot com Do you have to use high heat to get the cells? You do not in fact I would argue that the less heat that you use the better your cells look because if you use too much heat I did tonight for example um Your resin gets too hot and when your resin gets hot It's more fluid and the more fluid your resin is the more your resin will move and so that will kind of stretch your cell To a point that it's just going to break um These cells in this piece are quite large. They're some of them are quarter sized Um just to show you what the size of my finger is They're quite large and those are from using base cells That's a 40 inch painting And so the cells that are in it are quite large I hope that answers the question Laura you're beyond bionic that could be your next um TikTok handle it's just LT beyond bionic you're welcome TM But tomorrow britney I will show you a step by step on how to best use the base cell and top cell To get awesome cells if you guys want to tune in for that it will be at 6 p.m. Central, manana But till then I gotta take these pups out because they'll get mad at me um Use these codes depending on what you guys invest in my websites and pigments artist till death calm. I have a link down in the description box and Yeah, I will see you guys tomorrow be safe out there All the crazies doing last minute Christmas shopping. I haven't done all of mine yet the struggle And so anyways those are the colors we used these are the codes you should use and I will see you guys tomorrow at 6 central Till then be kind of one another because you never know what someone's going through and I always remember What are you doing? You can't go through there We do the tests so you don't have to and we'll see you guys tomorrow. Bye
