 I'm pretty sure it's as close to 6 p.m. as possible, and we are artists till death, I'm Erica, Jeffrey is behind the camera, and we go live every day. Usually it's 6 p.m. central, except for on Tuesdays it's at 2 p.m. central, and it's usually resin, it's always art, it's always a good time. Today we got a lot of response from our new posters yesterday, so we're doing a little bit more of them. Although this is a stand mixer, this one is by Istoio, but I just want you to know yo. I said that. That it's amazing, and they're not very expensive, I think the whole set with the stand is like 20-something bucks, at least it was the last time I looked, and anyways, get you one, available every month. I need some gloves. Should we put the mic in? I don't know, can't everybody hear us okay? So we're going to do Easter colors today. A lot of these colors I don't usually work with, because they're scary. Yellows never treat me well. Hello, Stephanie. Do you run sales for your store ever? I do. In fact, you can use code ATD, or 5% off right now. Usually when I run a sale, it's because I get a restock in, or well it's coming up on Easter, so I'm sure I'll run an Easter sale. Last time I used this yellow, I really liked it. But I can't remember what other colors I used it with. So should I do orange, you guys? Do you think orange fits this color? I think it'll be fun. I think it'll be orange and white will be fun, I think. I feel like I probably don't need this powdery blue color, since we have all those other ones. Okay, so let's start talking about colors. So all of these are paste. I prefer to use paste with my resin, because you don't have to worry about the little flecks of mica not really melting into your resin. You don't have to worry about it puffing up into the air. And it does unique things that maicas don't do. Additionally, I feel like maicas sometimes, I don't know, it kind of fades out sometimes when you use it and use a lot of heat because the particles will sink. And so that's another thing that I don't really have to worry about with a paste. This is the first color we're doing. This is called spearmint, it is by just resin. That's a lot brighter on camera. It almost looks like a teal aqua. This one is? Yeah, on camera. This looks like bubble gum. Well, it is supposed to be an Easter color. What color is this? That looks like strawberry shake. Oh, it is. Nailed it. So the spearmint is a luster. It's a metallic, it's got a little shimmer to it. So is this lemon sherbert, but the strawberry shake that Jeff is mixing up is a flat or just, I don't know. It's hard for me to call it flat because I think about flat in terms of sheen. So it's flat in terms of sparkly shimmeryness. And it's my opinion that all pieces should have something sparkly or shimmery, something flat, and then I have a couple of other things in my formula as well. What are you scoffing about? You know, this person, excuse me, appreciate the response. How can we find out if you run a sale? I found you from Mixed Media Girl. Love, Marcy. Um, we, like the only time I email anybody is when I have a restock or run a sale. Oh, that is a interesting, wow. Last time I used it, it looked really good. I think it was this one. It could have been the other yellow. So to recap, this is spearmint from Just Resin. This is lemon sherbet from Just Resin. Why didn't you put this? Do you want that one? Yeah. What is this? Oh, the white. Yeah. Oh, and then you have that. Oh, I see. We don't have a color. It's just about the same amount as every other one. Here. We are using Stone Coat Art Coat Resin today. So we have a little bit longer of a working time, and by a little bit longer of a working time, I mean two hours instead of 20 minutes. So that is an old color called Periwinkle. I made that with Wiskiria from Just Resin mixed with Powder Boy from Just Resin. Sorry, I'm having to simplify one of my pigments. Agent Reigns, Kat, hello. Everybody doing this for the evening? Excuse me. It's good Friday. Is everybody being good? Maureen wants to know how does the art resin actually work different than the countertop resin? If you're asking me specifically about Stone Coats, then I can tell you other brands. It's possible that I've tried them. It's likely that I've tried them, but I haven't tried all the brands out there. So having said that, of course, Stone Coats brand, yes. They're working with them, like using them to create a piece. We sure can, Heidi. Just give us one minute, and I'll have Erica grab those coasters from yesterday. Yeah. What was I saying? What were we talking about? Oh, Stone Coat, Art Coat. Oh, yes. Working with them is the same. The only real difference is that Art Coat has a little bit more UV resistance in it. So I only reuse Art Coat, even if I'm doing a countertop. Yeah, I'll grab those in just a moment. I'm pretty sure I'm saying this right. Agent Reigns. That's the one that was wanting to ask about this sale, and then she says, I've only used Micah. It's nice to hear about this paste. I'm getting chunks from Micah. Yeah, we really don't use a lot of Micah every now and again, and you know. That's a slurry hack. A what? A slurry hack. What's a slurry hack? You can take your Micahs and put them in whatever cup you're going to use and create a slurry, putting just a little bit of alcohol in your cup and mixing your, sorry, getting distracted, sirs. I haven't looked at them yet. Make a little bit of a slurry just to kind of start liquefying your, it's not liquefying, ultimately what it's doing is breaking up the particles in the Micah because they'll stick together a little bit. Kind of like, what are we doing? Oh, I thought I was handing you a glove, but I got them for me. I hate, I meant to hand you these. I think you and I both may be coming down with something, or an allergies. Okay, so just to recap the colors we are using are, It's the best resin for coasters as far as heat resistant goes. Patty, yo. We use art coat and heat resistant up to 500 degrees Fahrenheit and it's pretty durable. It's got a great working time and no smell. Also those things. This is color passion base cell whites. This is a periwinkle I made mixing wisteria from just resin and powder blue from just resin. This is spearmint from just resin. Shimmerine. This is a lemon sherbet from just resin or sherbet. I recently found out that I've been saying that wrong my whole life. This is Judy shimmer from passion base and this is sherry shake from just resin. We nailed it, all of them. Okay. A huge X file fan. Awesome. Are we gonna have like are we gonna are we making this a challenge or are we just arting for the sake of arting? We just are arting about it. I don't want a challenge. I don't I don't want to embarrass you or anything. For us. Done with this one. Yeah. So if you've never seen these coasters that we're using right now before they are our clear coasters and what you do is you peel one side, you art on this side, leave the backing on and then once it's cured like tomorrow then you can come back. I'll peel this one for example. It is not easy catching an edge with then see you've got drips and things back here. This is not a problem with this backing. It's so hard with gloves on. It'll make me panic when you use what I think the fast resin it was a challenge to find our coasters. It says mix media girl use your coasters yesterday. So I was trying to find find you to buy. It was a challenge. You should make her link you. Those coasters are so cool. Thank you so much. I will mention that to Marcy or I'll just send her like I'll make a landing page for her to link. When I'm laying these colors down, I'm being very mindful of what I'm putting next to what because for example, if I put this yellow next to the purple and they make a secondary color if they mix a bit, it's not going to be a cute color. So you're going full Easter egg, huh? I just wanted to do one. That's a full Easter egg. Just just one. Should I go get the, Oh, you need heat. We need some heat. I'd rather have like that's going to be so bulky. Jeff is. He will be right back. So yeah, always consider what secondary colors you could get when you put color next to a different color. And if you just have to have those two colors next to each other, then just put a little bit of clear between those colors. And it will help out tremendously. One, two, three, four, five, six. One, two, three, four, five, six. Oh, okay. And we'll just reverse it. You'll notice I'm not just pouring to these lines because then the resin's going to, there's going to be too much resin on the piece and it's going to want to find its way off. So I'll try not to do that. I win. And see. Sorry if I was on your way. You guys. Thank you, Evelyn, for doing that. You rock, Evelyn. Thank you, Kat. Don't pass out. If you heat this up just enough, it'll make it smooth enough to where you don't have to blow too much. What have you got going on over there, babe? Easter egg? My first Easter egg. Do you? How come we never decorate Easter eggs? I don't know. Because it's very, very messy. As we're doing resin. I know. What if we did some resin Easter eggs? We are. Right now. Like real ones though. I'm afraid this is going to fall over. I'm trying to make it where you guys are like right up front, but this table is so little. Love it. That's fun. I was going to do that and then boom out. Scene. That's so fun. So I put the strawberry shake on the back. Really thin so that it doesn't push too much resin around because then it'll just keep going and fall off. So in order to avoid that, we're being very specific with how much resin we're putting on these. I don't know why it was so difficult to save resin a second ago. Working with art coat again further makes me think that that quick cure was so thick. I'm going to put that orange on this. You just want some messed up colors making the secondary. I think it'll be crazy. I think it'll look good if it doesn't mix. I'm like I'm going to wait. I'm going to do. I should go get the computer so I can see what people are saying. Yeah, sorry. I'm not reading. We're using my phone tonight. We're concerned about the white dots, but I think I ultimately am cute. Thank you AI. There we go. All right. I can see you guys now. We love when you catch us live too. Thank you so much. We are family. Thanks for the tips. My first time doing coasters, it was a mess of waste. Never again. Yeah. So resin, most resins are so thick that when you pour them out, they pour out at about a quarter inch high, but it's going to self level to an eighth inch. So in order to mitigate that or avoid it, just keep the amount of resin on the surface to a minimum. Yeah. That's the cutest one. Also, pardon my sniffles. I should be using the torch. Also, let's leave the torch off camera. I don't want Google analytics to think that this is something wild. Loving these. I just had a little stroke of genius. Oh my goodness, I probably already messed up. That was a lot of resin. I'm just going to smooth it around, using our reusable stir sticks. This is definitely a lot nicer to not have to stress about the resin curing. It's so stressful. So. Oops, sorry y'all. Sorry y'all. Do you like my deviled egg? Listen, I want to do an entire set of this. And I will not feel bad about it. A lot of people left. Yeah, sorry about the freeze. But we're back. So yeah, I'm digging my little Easter eggs. Oh my goodness. Can you imagine an avocado? I'm going to put my egg over here because I don't want to mess up it. Now I have some of our little hemp. That's no yolk. I'm going to do a smush. Just a psychedelic smush. That's stuff that goes along with stuff, right? So where's everybody watching from today? Ooh, we're going to find out if this is a horrible secondary color. So if you've never done a smush, it is simple. Pretty self-explanatory, but I'm going to explain anyways. You just put a lot of color down. Do you guys know the Australian artist? The Australian artist. What would that be? Who would that be? Who tell us? We've been to Australia a couple of times doing resin art. So possible? So on this one, you can really see how the resin is self-leveling and it's making some of these on the edge oblong because it's stretching to the edge. But because these are right angle coasters, there's not too much resin on here. So it just goes to the end and stops. So that's why some of these are more oblong shaped, which I don't mind. But I just wanted y'all to know why. What do you want to do a smush? A smush? All right, y'all. So this is, we try to tell people that are always worried about when you first start doing resin. Smush. This is probably the easiest way that you can make a design and it pretty much turned out turned out good if you use the right colors. It's supposed to be psychedelic Easter. Oh, that did not did it. That's basically the easiest route to take is the smush route because it basically does the work for you. So all you really have to do, put your colors down. I prefer not to, what do you call it, put too many colors down, not too sporadic. Sporadic gives a busy result. I don't know anything about the Australian artist. I'm going to have to get Pacific. Pacific? All right, so we have a little bit of clear left. I guess we'll put some in here and some more of this. Oh my goodness, I forgot the name of it. Spearmint. Also with paste, you can mix color. So if you wanted to create a custom color, you could mix anything from any brand. Stir that up first. Yeah. So we have run out of coast food. Go grab one for some. So I guess I better put my white down first. And you want to kind of put a generous amount just because some's going to take away like one coast, take a little bit off the other coaster. And you want to make sure it's nice and nice and fluffy for the paint to kind of smush together. So I normally just put like a little bit on there and then just heat it up just a little bit so that you you do get a little bit of a easier smush. Not too much because you don't want it to be too runny because then it'll get muddy. All right. I can't guarantee this, but this is there we go. What's happening? And then when I pull it apart, I'm going to kind of move it forward. That is interesting. Definitely how you pull them apart affects the design. I didn't twist it either. Normally we give it a twist, but I just wanted to see if I just flattened it and then pulled it up and kind of up and out. You all said Jeff is cutting out. I brought some puzzles. Hi, Cindy. It's hood now. In and out occasionally. Like the volume gets low or it's literally shorting out. So thank all of you guys for coming in and watching what we're creating today. I hope you're enjoying it. Lots of cells in that one. If you have any requests for us to try out anything or color scheme or whatever. Let us let us know. Happy Easter. Yeah, I think we should decorate Easter eggs one year. Okay. I mean, we do a pumpkin. Sometimes. I hope you all are keeping track of which ones your favorite ones are. My yolk's getting a little out of control. It's probably just bit too much. I did. Oh yeah, you guys wanted to see those coasters from yesterday. One minute. I'm going to try the dots again. But smush it. Botted one looks like it's like it's like like it's almost like it's rounded. Yeah. If we put some airbrush on there, it'd be like wait a minute. That would be fun. All right. So this is what we did yesterday, y'all. It's easy. These are the coasters from which she's doing. Sorry, y'all. Me and Fancy. All right. And this is hasn't yet. So we're going to peel this. This is that. What color was this? Teal luster? Yes. I do believe you're probably going to need some heat. Yeah. So this is the good thing about this is why we started doing this is selling these coasters with the paper on the back because it's no cleanup. If you do let it drip like this, sometimes you can clean them up before this happens. But just hit it with a little heat. I don't have the heat gun. Be careful. Don't burn yourself. Just give it a little heat. You're not trying to melt it or anything. Just enough to help it. Just try to loosen up that. So if you have a problem with getting an edge, just take another like a stir stick or another coaster. Your people have been buying the coasters like crazy. Wait. I'm trying to do this while sitting in back of this camera. You are doing it from sitting in the back. I know, but it's very difficult. This chair wants to hit the edge of the, uh, yes. I'm going to leave out the orange. It's so difficult doing this with these gloves on. I can't get a grip on the edge of this paper. Me too. You know, we've got to put a little more heat on these. And these little crevices here pop out. So losing any definition of said leaf. All right. I'm gonna so much. Yeah. It's so difficult with gloves on. I don't think I've done this with gloves on before. My goodness. I can never get a grip. Yay. That's so nice. I love. And also look at that. It's just like hints of the color where I just grabbed a little bit. All right. The stick doesn't work as well. Oh, well, here's the others. Sorry. That pink is nice. I think she was just doing this just to see what that, uh, what the, because the resin started setting up on her yesterday. So I did. We worked that to the end of possibilities. I'm not using too much heat because I don't want these to move. Looks like Easter. There you go. Nice sun clean. All white. So you guys. And this one is half and half. Yeah. The pink is really nice. So the reason why this, uh, is a little more difficult, this resin that's set. I think it's because it's quicker drying. So it hardens up. Yeah. It's, it's a quick cure. So it's going to, I mean, it's supposed to be like fully cured in days. Let's see. You just put a little heat and see those, those little drips come right off. Look at that. I almost think I feel like I just want to leave it, but that's boring. Nice cleanup. What's up, JJ? Yeah, this looks great. I love this pink and gold together. And this is just the regular coaster. See? Now, if you are making coasters with wood or the MDF, you got to sand all this, you know? And it's, I mean, you could do it. It's just hassle and time consuming. Now it's like a marbledy. I can get down with pink and spearmint marble. It's kind of like that. Thank you, Cindy. Thank, thank you. You need this. I'm going to take some of these up to the DFZ. Anybody have huge family plans this weekend? Hide in the Easter eggs. Find in the Easter eggs. Finding this hot pink. I think I only have like a couple left from yesterday. This is beautiful to witness. Well, thank you very much. It's fun. And see, this two hour working time, you can't beat that. You're not being rushed. You don't have to worry about, you know, oh, do I have enough in time? How many coasters? You can kind of just sit and just pick your colors. Relaxfully. It sound like you. I'm pretty sure that's a you word. I don't think I've ever said that word. However, it sounds like a word that I would say. Isn't, isn't the puzzle piece, what is that? That's the, for autism? It may be autism. I think it's, yeah, I think a puzzle piece. So, and then I think actually purple puzzle pieces. Oh yeah, this is what I want to try on this. I did this the other day a while back. I did just the edge and I just blew inward. I haven't checked those messages or emails today, but I will be doing that when we wrap the live. What brand of resin are you using? We are using Stone Coat Powered Up Art Coat. It is heat resistant up to 500 Fahrenheit, no VOCs, great viscosity, pretty darn durable. I think it's pretty great. And if you want, you can get 15% off by using our code that is listed down in the description box. Um, it's YAL, Y-A-L-L, all caps, no punctuation. Now that is for Stone Coat's website. Look how fun that is, just doing the edges like that. I like it. That's so fun. Reverse Dutch, right? Right, and then you can do another nice color the same way. Oh my gosh, peeling these with gloves on is not fun. I'm just going to do, you don't really have a lot. I guess we'll do a little bit. We have all of this resin over here. Y'all, we had like 105 people in here last night. Did y'all see that? Were y'all with the live last night? I know that's not a lot, that was pretty interesting. Somebody must have done their part and shared. So thank you guys. Do you have a mushroom shape? You know what? It's so funny because I just texted her the other day and was like, mushrooms, probably should do like a rainbow as well. Like a rainbow, just a simple, people like to do stuff like that. Is it buffering for anyone? I'm going to do that orange. For some reason, I thought you were going to reverse that one and blowing the white into the... Oh no, there isn't hardly any white. It's hard to hear me. I do not have a mushroom shape, but we can. I think we should have a mushroom shape. Yeah. So Jeff will end up probably going to cut tomorrow and we'll cut you a mushroom shape. Does anyone have any questions about resin specifically that I can help with? Or color choice or anything? So y'all, what color has been in y'all's... I love orange right here. Cindy, I do mostly use paste to color my resin. Look at that y'all. That looks so fun. Just imagine that attached to the other, to the purple one. I love that. That glow from it. Right, it's like fire. Pretty amazing. I do mostly use paste because the colors are very diverse. I can have one with a shimmer or one without a shimmer. Whereas flat micas or micas without any shimmer are really difficult to work with. Somebody was chimed out. Agent Reigns. I don't know why they wouldn't... If you were to call the Stone Coat headquarters instead of going through Amazon, they probably would have been more helpful. Cindy asked, do you use mostly paste color resin? Yeah. So I was answering that a minute ago. Are you going to do a smush? I didn't finish it. No. I peeled those for you. I don't have any gloves on. Micas, you sometimes end up with a lot of mica in the air, which is probably not good to breathe in. So ultimately, I find paste more versatile. Micas are fine. They have their uses. And you know, approach it for mica. Put the mica in first, then add your resin. So that way when you stir it, you don't get that plume of mica powder up in your face. But a funny thing with that is that's how we discovered mayron. We accidentally did that. And that was pretty amazing. You can also use acrylic paints, but just be careful when using anything water-based with resin. Resin does not like water-based things. It can kind of degrade the durability of your epoxy and also make it flash cure and just start setting up immediately. Color art products. So color art is made to be used in a water-based application. And some of them, because of the binders she uses in her colors, won't really melt into resin. And so what ultimately you have to do is mix it with the move that she has and then makes that formula into resin. One that I know for sure the color doesn't really mature until it's in resin, in the medium, and then you put the medium in the resin, is black cherry from gray brown. If you just put that color directly into your resin as opposed to making the medium and then putting it into the resin, then it'll be that very new color. Do you not have to use PPE with this resin? So in terms of personal protection equipment, if I were to have a respirator on, it'd be really difficult for you all to hear me. So this resin having no VOCs, it doesn't really smell or off gas unless you scorch it, which is putting too much heat for too long. It burns it. I always tell people to listen to their body and ask your medical professional any specific questions about PPE and resin, because I am not a doctor. I'm not qualified to give any health suggestions, but we should have a light on those. But yeah. Oh, they can see it like this. Definitely if you have any resin sensitivity. I love that. For example, Jeff got resin rash from one brand of epoxy and he doesn't get it with other brands of epoxy, so it's something to look into if you have any kind of reaction to epoxy. Looks good. Looks good. Can you use alcohol based colors? You can. Just understand that alcohol based colors are not light fast or color fast when they're put into resin, and so the colors will fade over time. Yellow, for example, will be gone within a month. I've had yellows completely disappear. Anyways, if you have other questions, feel free to message me on my website or leave me a comment down below.
