 He knows when she's just saying certain words, he'll come here and he'll start jumping around and then if she doesn't, he'll sit and then he'll start going. He'll sigh at me. And then he'll go in there and sit by the door and go, What are you doing? I'm ready now. You'll see as soon as we start saying goodbye to everybody, he'll be like, Oh, it's time. Second time I like the arms. Arms full, noodle nose like husband's ringtone. And so when he hears his ringtone on my iPhone, he takes off in the house, tries to find a ball, and then he runs to me and drops the ball on my feet and I can't give this to dad because he knows dad's calling. Do me a favor and give this to dad for me. Yeah. Yeah. Show dad how much I fetched the ball for him. What kind of dog is he? He's a palm. He is. And his colors are so beautiful. Sometimes they're like all one color, very gold, you know. Yeah. He's a party. He's a party, waiting to happen. He is a party. He brings the party to everybody. Get some more light. What's up y'all? I'm a special guest today. Her name is Sadie and she is here to try resin. Learn some new stuff and tell you guys about her foundation. Come to me. Hi Sadie. You can see what people are asking and what you're doing all right here. So if someone has questions, we'll answer it. But your main goal is to just play and paint. Cool. So I'm going to go ahead and mix this up for you. And while I'm doing that, you can tell them about your foundation and the awareness that you want to bring to people. And then we'll get started on the artwork. Cool. Cool. Cool. So I am a childhood cancer survivor from leukemia. And during my treatment, I always wanted to help other kids with cancer. So then I started doing something called Sadie's Slade during Christmas time. So I would collect toys and do a toy drive and donate them to different hospitals in the DFW area. So that kids fighting cancer in the hospital on Christmas could have a better Christmas. That's so awesome. Thank you. And then I started my foundation, the Sadie Keller Foundation. And so what I do with that is I also, I still do Sadie's Slade. And I do something called milestone gifts, which is when a childhood cancer fighter reaches a milestone. I pretty much congratulate them on hitting their milestone in their treatment and get them like a really good gift that they've been wanting. So like dollhouses, Xboxes, and like it could be little gifts, a bunch of little gifts that they want. And yeah, so it's pretty much just like to make them happy and to congratulate them. That's awesome. So you're just spreading smiles to everybody. Yeah. Brilliant. So you've been cancer-free for a while now? Yeah, I'm one year off treatment now, which is really awesome. So you need a milestone present from somebody. It's time, huh? Yeah. I think that's a big milestone. So what is your foundation website? Where can they find more information on what you do? So my website is called the Sadie Caller Foundation website and .org. And you just go in there and you can donate and check out all the other things that I do and see some pictures. And you can see some of my artwork, too. And yeah. So you sell your artwork to raise money to buy gifts for people, too? Yeah. Yeah. Awesome. She just did this one the other day and we resumed it for her. And it is an amazing piece of art. It's a geode that she did with acrylics and then we resumed it for her this week. And will this be available on your website or is it like? So I'm having an art show this Saturday at Art House in Highland Village. And so a bunch of my artwork will be there. So you can come. I'll be also teaching a class, which I'm really excited about. And so you can buy some of my art, eat food and just listen to music and have a lot of fun. That's awesome. We'll try to be there. What is it? Us this Saturday. So the 16th. The 14th. The 14th. The 14th. From 6 to 9. I'm actually going to be teaching a class on this this weekend, too. I almost said the 16th this Saturday. It's not. It's the 14th. But maybe I'll bring my class up there to check out your stuff. Hopefully everybody will be down for it. Everybody loves your geode, it looks like. Leah, you're amazing. My son is three years out of treatment. Looks like everybody loves your geode, which I knew they would because it's amazing. So if they can't make it to your event, can they find your artwork online on your website? Yes. We have like a spot of all my art and you can buy some of it. Super. And they can just, is it like a GoFundMe or is it PayPal that you accept for your foundation? Mom? Yes. All the above? Yes. Credit card. Official non-profit. So it's all passed to the actual home. Including the artwork? Yes. Perfect. But then it's going to the foundation. Awesome. I'm going to get the information from them and I'll link it in the description box below this video as soon as we're done. So in case you guys want to check out her website, her artwork, or just want to donate to her amazing cause, it will all be there. So, on to the artwork. Say you picked out her favorite colors. She likes gold, blues, and turquoises because who doesn't? These are amazing. So I hooked her up with some of these amazing colors from Just Resin and we're going to make an amazing piece of artwork that will be ready in time for your show. So you'll have another piece to put in your show. So, Resin is a two part. Do you know anything about Resin? I've watched some videos on it but I haven't actually done it before but I'm really excited. Gotcha. So Resin's a two part usually. Some of them are two to one. Some of them are one to one. Which means one part of this and one part of this. Some is two parts to one part. So since this is one to one we just did the same amount of each to make this amount. So, how much of each of these colors do you want in your piece? Like, is there one you want more colors of? I think that is amazing because gold can take over sometimes. So we'll do this one for the gold. So, let's put some gloves on because sometimes like Jeff, he'll get like a bad reaction to Resin if it gets on his skin. They call it resin rash. Now what mom, if you want to read these questions you might be able to answer for people. It's all adjustable. My.org is the website. Also if you need to you can type down here. Oh, okay, perfect. You can type anything in. Alright you guys, I can't read what's going on right now. Sadie's mom has the iPad in case you guys want to ask any questions about Sadie, the foundation, anything like that. She's there to help. So this is the paste and paste can separate. You want to make sure you mix it up a little bit and it doesn't take a lot at all to make a brilliant color. So that's enough. So this will last you forever. I've had this for two months and I've got this much left and I paint a lot. Yeah. So you can mix that in. It looks like I got something in here. A way I need to mix it so it doesn't get too many air bubbles. You can mix it. Obviously you don't want to get crazy with it, but if you do get air bubbles in it, the cool thing about resin is you can heat it with a heat gun or a torch and it'll pop all the little air bubbles, which maybe they're not up there at the door. Oh, I don't know. I don't. But the car's out front so you don't need to put her to get back. So if you do make air bubbles in, obviously there's some already from where I mixed the two parts in, but we're going to pop that with a heat gun. Also be really careful when you use a heat gun because I burnt myself. So I have this amazing resin scarf for life. I think you picked some awesome colors and it doesn't take much at all. So this is going to be real sparkly. With powder you want to mix it in a little slow so that it doesn't poof up in your face. Also mom, they can hear you if you want to talk. This mic will pick it up. This color. That's so pretty. Yeah. I'm super excited that it's going to be in your piece. How long have you been doing the acrylic for? Maybe like two or three months. That's it? Yeah. Three months? You've been painting and drawing for, but she just kind of found the pouring technique and loved it. Well, a lot of people that are in my, I call them my poor family, they come and paint with me every day. So a lot of them suffer from lupus or cancer or our wheelchair ridden. Like a lot of them have ailments. Yeah. And they find pouring really cathartic. It helps them with their therapy. Yeah, it is. Baby has said that multiple times, like really through her cancer journey it's really become extremely therapeutic to her. Right, baby? Yeah, like just drawing and doodling and like really like and painting has like calmed me down a lot. So tell them why you love gold so much. I love gold so much because gold is actually the childhood cancer color. And so it's like really special to me and it's one of my favorite colors. So that's why I love it so much. That's awesome. So you incorporate some gold in all of your artwork? Yeah. Perfect. It's always more awesome when there's a meaning behind what you're doing. Sometimes I paint just because I like the color and when people are like, what does it mean? What were you inspired by? And I'm like blue. Yeah. It's still not a cute answer, but I mean it is what it is. So when I work with resin some people don't do this and with this kind of artwork or any artwork really it's what you want to do with it. You know, there's no real right way. But what I do is I always put down some clear first so that your colors will like roll over the canvas a little more easily because it'll stick kind of like with acrylics. It's better if you put a little bit down first so that it moves more smoothly. So I just take some clear and just work it around this. This is the last thing I'm going to do instead of you because I want this to be 100% stady original piece of artwork. I'm just going to spread this out for you and then I'm going to let you take it away. You know what you're doing. Y'all, I'm going to show you pictures up for artwork. Some of them are still setting from their top coat. But I wish I could have used, I started with acrylics before I got into resin and I made a mess more often than I made artwork. So I had to, it always turned into mud, you know? Yeah. It just turned into a whole lot of nothing. So I switched to resin and it was just here for me to make things look like what I wanted it to. See the little bubbles popping? Oh yeah. So that's why we don't really worry about making too many bubbles in. They're coated. I'm going to leave this right here because you're going to be using that next. I have some clear leftover in case you want any more of any of these colors. Okay. Sorry, that thing is... No, it's perfect. Okay. You can adjust it any kind of way you like. So, now this is your piece. And you can pour it. You can do puddle pours. You can do dirty pours. You can't really do a flip-flop because there's resin on it. But it's your piece. Take it away. And I'm here if you have any questions. Okay. So like, what did you do on trying to get like that kind of... Most of my work is negative space. I like the white to be showing because it's less busy that way. So I'll usually just do thick lines of color. I would probably do all of them with just a little bit of the gold running through it. And I'll take the heat gun and move the resin around and then tilt it a little bit. And then I'll be done with my pieces. So my actual working with this was probably 20 minutes. So it doesn't take a lot. I found with my pouring restraint is key and knowing when to just be like, Okay, I could work with this a little bit more. I have time, but I need to just stop. You know, because have you ever done a piece that you loved? But there was something with it. You just wanted to work a little bit more and it has ruined the whole thing. I had that problem. So I would just run some thick lines through it. And then we'll use a heat gun and see where we're at and we'll go from there. If you need to stand up, you can. Some people can't force thing down. I can't. Jeff can. I can't. I think I'll stand up. Okay. Yeah, this table is a little bit high, isn't it? Yeah. I'll figure out my stretch. No pressure. I'm using stone coat art coat resin and this stuff has a really long working time. It's a lot like art resin, but it's not as ridiculously expensive. And I actually have a discount code for this. So if you buy half a gallon, which is 50 bucks, you can get $30 worth of pigment for free on their website, which is linked in the bottom of this video. It looks like ribbon candy from like back in the day. So with the white, do I need to put like just a little streak or? With the white, you're going to get the cells that you like with that. And the white that's in there and the white that I prep this canvas with are different. So like if you look on this, you can see the white over it. So it'll give another dimension. So you can put the white through it. You can put the white just over the white. It'll all look good. You pick colors that are brilliant. You guys, they did a seahorse that I'm really jealous of. And I'll show you guys once it's dry. Watch this. I'll pull it out of the bin in a minute, but I'm going to try to do one eventually. I'll get up the courage. So this is a heat gun. It's really neat because you can turn the heat up or down. I use it all the way up, but you can also use high setting for loads of things. The way I use a heat gun is that this attachment will flatten the airflow so you can fill air bubbles popping. So you can like push it like that. So you can get it to overlap itself. I'm not going to do it because I think you can handle it, but just so you know. And if you need to, we'll rotate the camera so you can get from the other side if you want. If that's not high enough, just let me know and we'll turn it up. Jeff likes to do a lot is he'll blow on it a little bit like with his face. I can get you a straw actually. And that'll make these little like well outs right here. You can add all the color you like. We have left over. Do you want me to hold this while you have more color? Did anybody have any questions for Sadie? You can talk answer. You don't have to. Okay. No. Okay. Perfect. Most people just some people just pop it in and high. It's rotated around this way because when you hit, you put heat on it, it's going to melt and push it this way. And I don't want it all to run off one side. So let's even it back out. Now it'll go this way when you heat it. Let's heat this up a little bit and then you can tilt it and you can pick it up and tilt it and see. I would probably add some more white first because that's going to get some overlapping. We're going to heat it again. All right y'all. I know. You said you're doing great Sadie. Thank you. Let's put some heat on it and then we'll tilt it again. It's a little bit thicker probably than the acrylics that you're used to working with. Oh that's cool. So it works a lot the same as the acrylics do. The two things really that to me are different are that you have set working time. Some resins are only 30 minutes. This is, you could probably get an hour in with this stuff. Before it starts settling. Right. Before it'll be just, it'll turn into like the consistency of hot glue. Okay yeah. And then the other thing is you'd like to coat your acrylic pours with resin because it brings out the vibrancy and the color. Sometimes acrylic pour, it'll look really nice when it's wet and then it dries and it looks dull or cloudy. This kind of eliminates that step and it's just, the way it looks right now is how it's going to look in terms of color depth. Got it. But it's the same with acrylics in that it's going to move till it dries. Okay. So it's looking really nice. Is there anything you want to add to it like cells or, but almost want to put a little bit of gold on this side just to balance it. It does look really good. Sadie, someone wants to know, how did Sadie like meeting Trump? Saw the picture on the left side, how did that come about? You want to tell them about? Yeah. So I lobby on Capitol Hill a lot and talk to congressmen about why we need more funding for childhood cancer because I don't know if we know, but childhood cancer only gets 4% of funding for every single childhood cancer, which is not enough. So there's different acts. And the one that I was doing was the Star Act. And I wanted to get it passed so we can get better treatments and like more funding to help more kids. And so sometimes whenever the president is signing a bill of the law they have a bill signing ceremony. So we didn't know if I was going to meet him or not. But then we got a call and so then the next day I was going to meet him, which was awesome. And he was so nice and it was just incredible. And tell them about the next day what happened? Right. And then the next day Ivanka Trump was like the person who pretty much like made the bill signing happen. And she really wanted to meet me because she couldn't be at the bill signing ceremony. So then the next day I went back to the White House and I got to meet Ivanka Trump, which was really cool. And she was super nice also. I was going to say she looks really nice in person. When you heat this kind of paint and you push the top layer, see how it's like the metallic is in a different spot than the deep gold color? Yeah. That's one of the things I like about this particular gold is that you can move parts of it. I don't even know if that makes sense. I think I'm going to blow it a little bit. Let me heat it up for you again just so it moves more easily. For anyone who's interested in following kind of Sadie's journey, she has a Facebook page just under the Sadie Keller Foundation. So anyone can go and follow all her childhood cancer endeavors. Could you send me a message with all of the stuff and all of the links? I'll put it in the description box so it's easier for everybody to find. Have you ever gotten paint in your mouth from using a straw? No. No? I've gotten resin in my mouth from using a straw and it is not a good time. That's the taste that will stay with you. That looks really fun. I like how it fades out right there. I also have a lot of glitter. I don't know if you're into glitter. I am into glitter. It's pretty bold. I have glass glitter. Sadie, your technique is great. Someone said they love your jewelry, Cheetah. Oh yeah. I love all her jewelry. So this glitter is, do you want to do some blowing on this? Any other side or are you good with it? I like it. I like that it fades out on this side but there's still something unique about this side as well. I think that looks really good. So this glitter is a glass glitter. It's made for cars. So it's extra super sparkly. Do you want to mix it into a resin or do you want to just sprinkle it where you want to on there? I think I just want to sprinkle it on there a little bit. Just like maybe right here. This has a little part in it so you can kind of dictate where it comes out. I'm going to let you control it. One time you had to rock it back and forth. One time you had to come back out. It's a little bit of a bottle too. Sometimes it helps. That is really pretty. Could I maybe blow the glitter? You can. Let me heat it up because with Stone Coat it kind of, the cool thing about it is after it cools off a little bit, it kind of diffends to where it is but when you heat it, then it can move. So that means you can move just one part of it if you want to. You just only heat it on that part. So you want to blow this part? That rotated around so you don't have a hard time getting to it. I think one of these colors is a little bit transparent. If you wanted to add color over some of the resin, I lied. It's not transparent. I have some of this clear just to make sure it's stuck in there. Sometimes when you blow it, it'll leave a bare spot. Are you going to, I don't know, I was going to make a little bit of a point kind of like this part if you are happy with this because I think it looks really good. That way it looks like they're kind of fading towards each other in my head. So what else do you want to work on with it? I have a little bit of this left if you want to add another color. I think these colors are great. I like it. I do too. But I just want to give you the option that glitters super sparkly. And that metallic is really good too. So this is what Sadie did today. And it is gorgeous. I haven't used glitter like this in a long time. And now I'm re-inspired to do that. I think you guys have nail polish before me. So this is a bun pan rack that one of my amazing subscribers sent to me. It's for like a bakery for like, buns. I want to show them you're awesome. The handle that you have, just pull it down. It should adjust up. You guys, look at this little dude and tell me he's not the most amazing thing. I think you should do this on like a bigger, like that side. Yeah, that would be cool. Like, you know how to work on that phone to like zoom in. Looks like you're setting up a really nice dude. I don't see any kids at all. I lied. There's one right there. So this is what I'm talking about by pitting. See where it looks dry right there? Oh, yeah. But since it's been sitting for not that long, we can just add a little bit there and patch it. I love in the seahorse thing. She's probably going to do a little bit more playing with resin. Yeah. So you have a little bit of resin left over. Let me see if I have a smaller canvas in here. We'll do another point of play. I usually use gallery rock. They hold up better to the weight of the resin. And a lot of people will use these. They're called skins. They'll just peel off of this. They'll make jewelry with it. Oh, that's cool. I'm actually working on like under the ocean piece about this size that I'm going to use these for coral reef type things. It's still project in my head. I haven't gotten it completely together yet, but that's the idea. Sadie, our family went to Australia for her make-a-wish trip. And did you get inspired by all the under the ocean stuff? Yeah. Were you a mermaid that day? Yeah, pretty much. Out in the middle of the ocean, yeah. Actually, we'll be going to Australia at the end of September, beginning of October. Yeah, you resin and a paint brand called Color Obsession are asked Jeff and I to come out and teach a class. Cool. So we will be traveling. Where are you going? Perth. Those sound like amazing places on the other side of the country. So you have this much space to work with. It's all ready to go. I'm really bad about when I have leftover resin and I pull another canvas out. I'm like, let's put it all. Hopefully maybe. And then it never turns out right. But it's yours to do what you want with it. I have an amazing piece. So if there's something you want to experiment with, this is where in my world that happens. I was just about to say I would paint a wall that color, I think. Yeah. That is turquoise and it's by Color Obsession. So. No, just resin. My apologies. Cryptic Arts, is that the type of painting Sadie's else? So yes, she sells a lot of force because she's good with giving the original or letting the originals go. Then she sells print, some of her prints of her artwork that inspired her through treatment. So they're more like treatment type of her during treatment. And all of those are, there's a link on the website to get to those. And we'll be updating. She's got an art show fundraiser this Saturday in Highland Village, Texas at Art House. And so we will update her artwork on her website. That's so exciting. Is this your first show? I did a lot of art shows last year, but that was not for, it was just my like cancer art of like me in the hospital and just like. Ready? Yep. I'm going to kick it up for you. Don't be scared. Super cool. Oh, it's real liquidy if you were in a tilting mood. So much gold flex in it. Yeah. And that's so pretty. That's really pretty too where the white's breaking. Yeah. And you can see the teal under it. And you're getting that over here in the gold too. Looks really good. I don't have any more canvases this size. You're using your resin very well. We always check to make sure there's no bubbles or hairs in it. If there were, we would just take tweezers and pull them out. But, so now you have resin left over. What we usually do is make posters. Those are your press paper kind of? You would think that they would warp, but they don't. I thought they would, but I got them just to see. And they survived. The heat, they survived. The resin. I find that metallic paste are really versatile, even if they're opaque. One person, or a couple of people actually said they need to wipe off your sticky gloves. Yeah. Here you go, ma'am. And then, I think you said you were going to post, a couple of people are asking for the links and stuff you're going to post them at. Yeah. I'm going to post it in the description box. As soon as this video is over, I'll post it down in the description box. I'm really going to like what that white will do. You don't need much. It'll still make a statement. So, since we didn't put any clear down, I'm going to just make sure that all of the raw parts are covered. Natural with your arm in the mix. Thank you. So, now we have this areas covered. Get and tilt it, and it'll settle into a whole bunch of interesting stuff. My subscribers love posters. We have a coaster sale once a month, because I have so much leftover resin that we do a lot of posters. And it's $5 a piece. I'll number them all and put them all out. I do a lot of coasters for when we do craft shows and things like that. Because I find a lot of times people just want to leave with something. Is it ready? Yep. I don't want to burn it, so I'm just going to hold it. You can still tilt it if you need it. Are we going to add any glitter to that last one? Bless you. Thank you. Oh, yeah. But we can't. There's still time. I have dropped that in the last four videos. I'm just going to have to find another place for it to live. Do you want to add glitter to these or are you good? I think I'm good. I like them. I like them too. So, we're going to tape them and put them on this wax paper. Because those trays didn't come lined, so wax paper is fine, it'll still peel off. And then we'll fold this guy back out. I also have those other glitters. If you like that sparkly mica-flake one, just as an option. Don't have to do it. I like it too. Very even. Super. When in doubt, add glitter always, I think. I'm pretty sure that's how it's going to go. So, what did you think about resin? Super fun and it's really cool. Super fun and really cool. It's good. We have some white and gold left. Let's just fill one of these guys up. Which is your favorite? I like the bows. I like the bows too. We're going to have to put both in there. We're going to swirl it around. We're going to make some really interesting stuff happen. Then, I usually make them into magnet or keychain. Are you driving it? Do you need a keychain? No. Not yet. Tomorrow. For your backpack. Yeah. I don't know you had any left in there. Now it'll look like a tie-dyed bow tie. Jeff and I made these sticks because we were so done with wasting popsicle sticks. So, they're reusable. That's a good idea. Yeah, we go through a lot of popsicles. Let's wipe off. Ready to use it again. So, now that you have your first resin pour out of the way, are you ready to do another one sometime soon? Are you going to come to me so we can do another one? Yes, definitely. We'll work on larger ones and we can do like a multi-layered one, like geodes. I'd be really cool. I'd be super into it. As long as you'd be super into it. I love geodes. All right, you guys, thanks for tuning in. I'll link everything in the description box below the video. If you want to know more about Sadie's foundation, you got it? Yep. Tricky. So, I'll also link her foundation on my website, ArtistfulDeth.com. I will see all of you guys later tonight. And...
