 I'm excited about my fantastic face all over your faces. How is your day going? Are you feeling superb? If you've never been with us before, hi, hello, how are you? Maybe I should turn my mic on before I start talking. So, hi, hello, it's your new welcome. I'm Erica and with me is my husband, Jeff. What's up? What's up? And also our poor puppies. It's Candice. She's eating something this time that she's supposed to have. And that's my big boy saying no flash photography. I'm gonna go lay over here in front of my fan. So, today I'm going to introduce our brand new somethings, ornaments. Some things? Yeah, the tripod. It's a new style ornament that I made the other day. It's got the little ornament bubbles. It just looks so much more like an ornament than just this. I mean, don't get me wrong. If you like these, get those. But these are more of an ornament type of thing. And they're the usual. Paper on the front, paper on the back. Take off one side. Leave one side so that when you do a pour, it looks like these. See. Or it looks like these. Also see. This is, what, a month? What's on the other side? Oh, yeah, it's been at least a month. Like, probably a month. I think it's probably a month in a minute. So, what you can do, get your heater, warm these up, a little heat gun. Don't use fire. You don't want to do that because then you could catch it on fire. You could warp it. This is just to kind of give it a little heat treatment to make it easier to peel off. Because as you can see, the resin has gone over the side because there was just a little bit much than we normally put. So what I like to do, take another one or something with a hard edge. If it's difficult, if you don't have fingernails, like I don't, if I bite my fingernails. It's a choice. You just peel the back and look. That just came from there. It just pops right off. I just like not having to clean the backs of things. That slows me down. I probably could have put a little more heat on here. OK. So you're just peeling that right off. If you have one glove on and one glove off, it does make it a little more difficult. I can't tell if I'm even on camera or not. Well, you can see the. Oh, OK. I need to move. I'm not even on the camera. Sorry, y'all. Look at this. Just the little pieces come off perfectly. There's no sanding. No muscle, no fuss. No must, no fuss. Easy to clean up. Like I said, these are like a month old. So look at that. Just nice, very nice. Some spots are a little tighter, but man, it just pops right off because there's that edge. It does not want to grab onto it. Some people have asked us, do we need to sand them? And if you like, you sure can sand them. We recommend giving a little too. I would definitely recommend giving them a little sanding with like some 220, maybe 300. But unless you're going to do these clear ones like this, like we'll be doing today, I wouldn't recommend doing it. Because then if you do sand it up here, then it's going to be a sanding look, if that makes any sense. Yeah. I mean, you'll see the edge marks unless you let the resin fill it in. You'll see it scuffed up. You could even use like the red scotch bright if you want. But you said these are available on the website right now? Yeah, I put them on the website literally two minutes before we went live. Awesome. They don't play. They don't play all day. These guys, what you hear in the background is them playing. It's OK. They always want to play right when we start to go live. Canvas, leave him alone. Come on, go in here. Bowie takes or Canvas takes Bowie's growling and moving as he wants to play. And I don't think that he wants to play. He's just trying to get around him, get around her. But it's all good. What I'm doing, I'm just peeling off one side of each of these, leaving a paper side so I can have ones that are already ready. You don't want to do this. Don't take both off. If you do, and you have maybe some tape or some shelf paper, you could do that. Just put it on the back and then cut it out and leave it and then use it. But we recommend that you don't do that. I just want to point out how convenient this mixer is. If I was solo talking to you guys and trying to peel the back sues off and explain them, it would take longer for me to get everything together because I'd have to be mixing during a different three minutes. And to be fair, I didn't pay for this mixer. It was sent to me. But I love it. And they're not paying me to say this, but they did send me this mixer. And I do get some help from Amazon if you guys purchase through our Amazon link that is down in the description of every video. It really helps the channel. And I think having a stand mixer like this is amazing. Look at that. Just put a little heat and vada bean. Look at that. That's so nice. Get your edges all nice and clean. A lot of people really like to use the coaster molds in phillum to get clear coasters. But I feel like that takes a lot of resin. Yeah, right? It takes quite a bit. When you're doing casting with resin, you don't really know how much resin it's going to take to fill something. And it is a shock every time. I do casting because I'm like, no way. This is more than two ounces. And then it's a gallon. I remember we were going to do a table for somebody. And we're like, yeah, we'll just fill it up with stuff and then fill it with resin. And you would think, I mean, we actually figured out that there's no way we would have enough resin. It's almost like two different coasters on front and back there, except for we normally paint, well, I guess we don't paint these. Not those. Yeah, because you can see the back. We just put little pads on here and make you a coaster. So what I want to do today is do stuff like this. I really like how this looks, the see-through. And when the light hits itself, you're hanging these on your Christmas tree and there's lights behind it. It will look very nice. It will. All right, Lee. Your window up to here. OK, I need one more. The last two. Azeki, you? Oh my goodness. I think I just sneezed right in the mic. I'm sorry. Sorry, people. And I just probably sipped right into the mic. That is my adult chocolate milk. It is. It's still chugging out. All right. Shall we scrape the sides? Babe, why don't we use one of our handy dandy stir sticks? If we have any. This whole video is not going to be an ad. We have none. How do we not have any? We have no rag with alcohol? What is happening? So this is one of our stir sticks. And they also come with paper that you should probably take off. You cannot take the paper off and just use it until it decides to come off. Yeah, the paper will eventually come off when you're peeling. Because these are reusable if you didn't know. Thank you, Jesse. Hi, everyone. Thank you guys so much for coming in and watching today. It means so much to us. Just so you know, if you have anyone that you know that you don't want the other glove. Yeah, I didn't see it. Is interested in art or resin? Share our videos with them. Because it really helps Amazon. Nope, where are we? YouTube know that you like what we're doing. And infomercial, we're actually thinking about doing an old school infomercial. We've been thinking about doing that for 17 years, I think. Pretty sure. 17 years. Wow, you're up the. I got to get all my exaggerations in. It's almost the end of the year. Can you just break another one? These gloves are terrible. Yeah. Whatever gloves these are, don't get these, y'all. All right, so what we're going to do. I'm going to put this up. You don't want to drag that through the resin. So we want to put the resin in first before you do the tints, because they'll just soak into a paper cup. Plastic, probably get away with it, but. We also like to do resin first, so we know how much we're going to use of each one of the colors. Do we have those tiny little stands? Are we just going to put them over there? The stands to put these on. Like when we're done with them over here. Do you? Yeah. So for our resin today, we are using Stone Coat Countertops Art Coat. It is amazing. It's heat-resistant up to 500 degrees Fahrenheit. It's got, we've worked this up to three hours, but we say up to two hour working time. BOC free. And it's just grooming the crop for us. It's got halls in it, so it's ultra UV-resistant. How many colors do I put? One, two, three, four, five. And then we'll do some white. I'm going to leave just a little bit. All right, so we are going to pour some. This is color obsession. Magenta. Magenta. And I'm just going to do, well, this you take a kind of a lot, right? Because it'll never get opaque. We want it to be very bright. Well, it's going to get dark if you put too many drops in. So I would say start with three. One, two, three. And then we'll see how that goes. Yeah, we're going to need more than that. Yeah. So he's mixing up the magenta. I'm going to mix up the blue lagoon also by color obsession. So I put three drops into this one as well, but it's concentrated a little bit different. So three drops went the whole way, not just a long way. It went the entire way. See, it looks very dark in here, but that's not going to be the case. It's very dark in here, but that's nice and poifect. Do you want to do a turquoise? Yeah, here, here. Turquoise. Oh, this is the really hard stuff right here, right? It's pretty stout. Yeah, so this stuff, this color, passion turquoise, their tints are very, there's quite a bit, I think, right? So I'm just going to do one dab and a string. And we'll see how that looks. I always just recommend people to build their color. You never know. So just a little bit more dab, like two dabs. Use a squirt, do two dips. So three of that. We are using L'orese Angel White for our white today. I'm out of this particular pace, but one that is almost exactly the same, in my opinion, is the Just Resin Titanium, which I do have to do more in stock in this moment. It is what's going to be giving us a lot of the design elements. It is a very opaque white. And I was asked the other day, what's the difference in opaque, translucent, and transparent? And if you guys don't know. So the white that we're doing is opaque. OK, let me just say this. I already did that one. It's here. You can do this one. I want to make it orange. OK, you don't have to pull it from over there. So this is opaque. You cannot see the color of the stir stick through it. Let me turn the light on so you get extra more information. Cannot see through it. Cannot see the stir stick color through it. Now there is transparent, which is the other end of the spectrum, which means even though it's color, you can still see through it. So you can still see everything through this drip that's coming off. Everything behind it. You can see just gloves. Wow. Everything. That is very dark. Holy cow. Yes, that's like a. It's mulberry. It's like a plum. And then in the middle is a translucent, which is like frosted glass. You can see shapes through, but you can't make out specific things like you can with transparent. So that was a little quick lesson on color. All right. So what we're going to do, let's see here. I'm just going to go over the colors one more time with people. Magenta is the pink that he's going to use. The blue blue is blue lagoon from Color Obsession. Magenta and blue lagoon are both from Color Obsession. Color Passion is the turquoise. I'm using Lores Titanium. Nope, Lores Angel White, but you can use Just Resin Titanium, because that is what is in stock. They're also using popcorn yellow from Color Obsession. They do not come in these dropper bottles anymore, and this should tell you how long these pigments last, because they haven't had dropper bottles since pre-COVID. The darkest one is Color Obsession Mulberry. And then I have some, not as your miss. It's a lie I lost the lid, but this is the always beautiful Milky Way that I want to add into these to give just a little bit of sparkle, just a little some-some extra. So I'm just putting a hint of it in all of my colors. If I use too much, then it'll make my translucent, nope, transparent into an opaque or translucent. Use just a little bit. It adds just the perfect amount of little sparkle to it. So it's essentially giving me a transparent yet metallic or shimmery glittery color. Yeah, I put way too much resin on this one. Yeah, but I like it. I actually really like it. I like how that kind of looks peachy with that tan under it. Yeah, it's going to change. Let's show them. So these colors look kind of muted, if you will, because of this paper that's underneath. So I'm going to put this aside, and we're going to just do one with I took off all of the paper. So you can kind of see what these colors look like, and I'll just do kind of each color here, which we could probably use a little bit more in that. I appreciate you sending the links, TG. Kat says, I love that one. Also, if you guys don't know, we're on other social media platforms. We have ATVs for people on Facebook. We've got ATV Studios on Instagram. No, Art of Still Death Studios on Instagram. ATV Studios on Twitter, formerly known as Twitter. It is now X Reasons. And we are also on Threads, Art of Still Death. We're also on Instagram. Nope, already said that. What's the other ones? TikTok. So don't get flustered if you see your colors different when you're doing these coasters that we sell. I just wanted to put some on there to see. That's why. See, you can see the drips underneath. It's true, TG. Yeah, you can. You guys see the little drippings right here, basically all the way around? You don't need a lot of heat. You're going to have to turn your hat backwards. OK, they can't see what you're doing. You're going to have to turn your hat backwards. So he's just using his face to kind of mosh better. Mosh it up. See, then if you take both sides of your paper off, you're going to have a problem with those drips underneath. Yeah, you can see them right here. We'll just sand that bit. So that's why we stress, just leave one piece of paper on the bottom. All right, so let's do, we're going to do a blue one. I like these blue ones. We're going to kind of do a bigger wave. What colors do you think we should put together? Any suggestions? That almost looks like the perfect geodeshape opening. I think I want to put a little bit more color in there. Like that looks good like that, but when you spread it out like that. It looks like this. So if you want to add another drop. OK, Bowie, thank you. I put two more drops into the blue one. And when we're doing these like this, I'm not putting it directly on this resin. I'm trying to get it on the coaster and some of the resin so that it sticks to the coaster when you tilt it so it's not all just running off. Resin on top of resin is just going, I thought you wanted a darker one. Resin on top of resin is just going to glide. And if you make sure it's on a little bit of the dry area, then it'll just grab and stretch across. That's how we always do our oceans here in ATD's studio. Look at that. Look how fun. That is super fun. And if you want, I wonder what that would look like if you like painted the back of this. You can get into really a lot of detail with these and the layers because of you have a clear background. Like you can do a lot. Like it's pretty amazing what you could do with this. If you hit it with just a little bit of heat like that, a little bit of fire, you can make some cells pop up. Ooh, ah. I used to call this a torch and tilt. Are you OK with that? Oh yeah, I like it. Yeah. And we can do that with the first one as well. Look out. We need one. I'm just looking for. Let's do. And those little cells will start to grow as the resin self levels, but they're kind of like goldfish. They only grow to the size of their environment. So we have large pieces that have like quarter sized cells on them. And then we have smaller pieces that only have pinhole sized cells. It's because of the amount of space your resin has to self level, how much resin is on the surface. It has enough to move because it's dispersing on top of itself to create those perceived cells. That is a Tudor color combination if I ever saw one. Right. Mr. Star loves some green, blue, and yellow. It looks like sun-setty water. But we could do a Mod Podge waves for sure for sure. Yeah. And the more you put into the coaster, like more detail, more colors and fun stuff, the more you can sell them for. The cheapest thing that we sell are coasters in terms of like when we do shows, craft spares, arts festivals, et cetera. And a lot of times our bigger artwork brings people into our booth. And then they see that big artwork is not cheap. And so they just still want to leave with something. Just a little something. They'll choose coasters. That's so fun. I love it. Now remember it's going to be a lot more vibrant when that tan backing comes off. Make sure you tune in tomorrow for some shorts that we're going to post. That shows what it looks like when we take the backing off. What's on there? What's on what? Looks like just a fingerprint. It kind of looks like a little bit of the burn. Oh. Yeah, you want to clean that because I would have definitely seen that with this transparent color. What's up, Sam? How are you doing? So where are you guys watching from? Always like to know. Don't be shy if you're a first time. Watch it or first time. Comment her. You don't have to do fancy stuff on all of them. These are your $5 one. This will be a good $5 fun coaster. Are you asking me? TG says YouTube's being extra tonight. Something about repeats. Colorado Springs, so Sandy Sanders. Hi, Mary. TG, I'm pretty sure you live in 14 different states. That's so awesome, Sam. Hopefully I get to see it when it's finished. That didn't turn out the way I thought it was, but now it looks like a planet. Julie, with all those West Virginia cradle boards, I am so sure of where you are. South Florida, hello, Susan. I'm from Florida. I miss it. So Jeff's using a heat gun with a concentrator nozzle on it to kind of liquefy the resin a little bit. When you add heat to resin, it makes it more fluid. Whoa. That's super fun there. And seeing some of that just mixed in, it made a whole different look to it. Rory Borealis style. Rory, rory, rory, rory, rory, rory, rory, rory. Sound like a car dying. Rory, rory, rory, rory. Rory, rory, rory, rory, rory, rory. Beautiful. What resin are we using? This is Stone Coat Art Coat. Awesome. It would have already set up on you if we were using. Right. The aluminum light gives me a lot more reaction to things because it's thicker and there's some different kind of science in it, but definitely prefer Art Coat when you're going to do, you're going to mix up a little bit and use it for a while, you know? Thank you, Angie. Yeah, that one was super fun. It looks like the blue hole in bullies. Just looked over my shoulder, see what Kamis was chewing on and I half expected it to be something she was not supposed to be chewing on. We're good though. It's her bone. Also, thank you everyone to the birthday wishes. Nope, the happy birthday wishes. I mean the lot. That one's pretty. Yes. Let's give it a little tilt. I just want you to tilt into your white. Should we put like a color in there? That would be different. Haven't done that yet. Go for it. And then maybe that'll grab some of that white. It'll be kind of fun looking. You're so precise with it. I would have just poured it in there. Yeah, well, I don't want it to like mix super a lot. So you're just pushing it up to the edge of the white? Yeah. You know, if it shifts at all, it's going to look super cool because that paint will go over the white and look like it has like a little shadow. It's an ocean geode. What's up, Susan? Love it. You done with it? We need to put a little heat on it. So notice how little bit of heat Jeff is using. That is because if you had too much heat, your resin will thin out too much. Oh. And it'll just run off. And that's not a good look, all right? You want to keep as much resin on the top as possible. It looks like it's glowing. Do you want me to start taking the back off of those? I could do that. Yeah, we have quite a bit of resin left. So you guys, have you sent in all your letters to Santa? Have you filled out a letter to Santa for Alexis on the cruise ship? Oh, yeah. Yeah, it was adorable. Take a picture or whatever. But they wanted to know what cabin number. So I wonder if they're going to actually send her something, maybe cute, neat. Those colors look amazing together. What do you guys think of that? That dark mulberry really gives depth to the piece, I feel like. Don't you think? Oh my goodness, that's beautiful. I love when you use translucent and transparent. You can see them flip over each other and create such amazing depth. Oh, look at that. Look how fun that is. It's so fun. Where do you want to be? The DFC. If you guys don't know, the DFC is our dust-free zone. And that is where we take all of our finished artwork because it's the dust-free zone. And so we leave it in there to cure. We have a whole video on how we made our dust-free zone using not much, the shelving unit, a whole bunch of tarp, and some magnets. I'm going to get you some more things. Candice, I don't know what you're doing in the kitchen, but don't. I'm digging that. That's fun. That reminds me of, do you remember Fru Rollups? Aren't they still a thing? I don't know. I hope they're not. I never liked them. I'm going to go find them. What? I never liked them. I always thought they tasted so, ugh. That's like your favorite food group when you were younger. It tasted like what? It just tasted, I didn't like it. Like, it wasn't enough. Cardboard. It wasn't like cardboard. It was. No. Candice, leave him alone. Candice, she's that little sister that's like, I'm not touching you. Really? I mean, it's just my nose. If I'm not touching you with my hands, then what? Looks like a planet. Yeah. The digging, the beautiful mess on the table. Why, Jesse, you don't like them either? You should put them, like, start from the back and go forward. You gonna do that? You're gonna do that. These. I don't. Dip up. That's gonna be just mud. It's not. I'll do it. Do you want to do another one? No, my back is like, that chair, I should have lowered that chair more because I felt like I was just leaning over enough to irritate my back. All right. My torn. All right, let's do this. What? Well, I was just gonna put this over that, but you want to like. Yeah, I'm gonna do smush. It's just hard for people to see what you're doing. It's a windy day smush. Yeah, no. It looks good. Does it? Let me land some, add some cells. This is gonna be your favorite one when we take everything. The backside will look different for sure. Yep. But yeah, I wouldn't. All right. All right, I'm just gonna do one more regular. And then if I have to, I just pull up a couple of extra ones for dipping purposes. Dip, dip. Sit, sit. Super tilt. Listen, I think we need to teach Mitch about the super tilt. I feel like it would have worked with the piece that he did today with Mama Quest. That's a nice gradual deep ocean. I made my waves too rounded. I'm just going to make sure I push this up to meet my white. Just showing off. It's all right, no biggie, it's whatever. You're gonna lose all that dark blue. Yeah, I'll tilt it back. Oh, Sean. Awesomeness, Teresa says. Thank you, TG. TG. Okay, now I'm gonna do one of our elongated geoids, or geodes, however you wanna say. And this is a shape that we can do. We don't have it listed on the websites, but it's great when you want to do a freeform geode, but don't wanna make your own mold or have to fill a mold because that's a pain and a hoo-hoo. So let's make a rainbow-ish geoid. I say rainbow-ish because they're not gonna be in the proper order, and we're okay with that because I don't even have all of the colors that you would need anyways. Just following the shape of the center. We actually have a lot of geodes shapes on our websites. All of them are cut. Do that, do that, and then do the yellow and then the blue on the outside so that you separate those dark colors. Because that would have just blended in with that. Yeah, that looks good. Very nice, very nice. Thank you, thank you. So since this mulberry has a little bit of purple in it, we have to make sure that we don't get crazy with the heat around the mulberry and the yellow because you've taken my color theory class, you know that purple mixed with yellow makes not a cute color, but we're gonna make a cute piece nonetheless. I cannot wait to take the backing of all these off. Right. Okay, so now I'm just going to marry my colors up just using a stir stick or a popsicle stick, what have you. You don't have to worry about all of these little slash marks that I'm putting in because your resin's gonna self-level. It's gonna go where it's already been. You can't stop it, you just have to accept it, but on the bright side, you can always know that it's gonna look good. You don't have to worry about making it level, it's gonna do that all on its own. However, the viscosity matters when it self-levels, but that's a tale for a different day. Lesson for another class. I'm gonna push this, doop, doop, doop, doop. Yeah, I have to switch to blue. Wow. I did put a lot of resin on this, so the blue may get lost, so I might put another, I'm just gonna go ahead and do a blue ring here. Oh my gosh. What? It's gonna look crazy. It's gonna look amazing. I think you're tilting. I'm sure this table folds in the middle. Yeah, it's like running off the backside of there. It's all right, all you have to do is rotate. Do that. All right, let's put some blue. I know this is white, this is definitely white. What do you think we should add it between the pink and the mulberry? Yeah, dark and light, whichever. What you got? What you got? Wait till you guys see what happens when this white sinks through our other colors. If you've been a subscriber with us for a while, you already know the awesome that will happen. It gives this awesome, like, feather texture. And it's very difficult to reproduce. That's also true. Should I swipe it or just use a face? Ooh, swipe might be fun. I don't have any swipes over here, though. I can use just the, just paper. Okay, hit it with just a little bit of heat to make sure it's mobile. And I wanna let some of my white sink down a little bit. It is heavier than the translucent so it's not gonna take long for it to start to sink through. I should have already started to sink through. All right, so let's clear the way. And we'll do a so whitey swipe. Okay, when doing this, I'm gonna add just a little bit of wiggle, a little bit of pizzazz so that I can bring the colors into each other a little bit and give it a bit of a scalloped edge. Oh, that's so fun. It'll be cute. And that's giving us a lot of secondary colors as well. Oh yeah. That's gonna be so fun. But now I need to make this edge kind of match up because my swiping paper was a little bit short. We're just gonna swipe back this way. It has started to sink, which I'm pretty pumped about. So we're just gonna let this live. We're gonna let it cure up. Back into the right. I mean, over there. Am I in? In the desk freezer. Oh, I'm trying to be on camera. Oh, if you just stand straight up, it's fine. I'm gonna put it down a little, there you go. Yeah, wait till tomorrow we take off the backing of these. So I wanna show you guys, this is one of our stir sticks. It's been in resin. I don't know, it was in a cup in the dust-free zone. And it's, you can see it's covered in resin. And if you, all you have to do when you take it out, if you can get it out without breaking the stick, this is obviously just a little bit of resin. So I pulled it out of there and look at that. That just came right off of there. Like no problem whatsoever. Feel better, Kat. Thank you, TG. You have a brand new stick. Just make sure you wipe them off with the alcohol. And you could do that even after you use it. So there you have it. We've got all different sizes, all different shapes. No, pretty much same shapes. This is a stir stick. So you guys, I hope you enjoyed what we created for you tonight. Hope you're having an awesome week so far. Nope, that was the other day. Looking cool, looking cool. That subtle sparkle from the Milky Way is amazing. That one might be my favorite. Well, this is the thing. If you all do this and you have plastic on your dust-free zone or wherever, look. If you notice it is coming off of, coming off your coaster or even your piece, all you have to do is just push it just a little bit out of the way so then you get all of that excess that's out here. There might be some when it dries the next day, but it helps with the cleanup and you don't have to worry about all that on there. Those are gonna be so fun. We will, of course, peel them off with you guys. So make sure you tune in tomorrow. If you haven't subscribed yet, do so so you get a notification if you hit the bell. And so yeah, thank you guys for watching and seeing what we're up to today. What, I don't know. Hope you enjoyed it. Be kind to one another because you never know what someone's going through. And always remember here at ATD Studios, we do the test. So you don't have to? Yes. So you don't have to. All right, you guys have an awesome night. We'll see you tomorrow. 2 p.m. on Tuesday. See. 2 o'clock Tuesday, see? Yeah, over here. Over here. We got Mrs. Wynie Butt right here. I don't know what she's whining at. Hi, I'm rare, she's whining because it's after time for her to be able to go out and play with her. Friends, this is, all right. We gotta take a puff set. We'll see you guys tomorrow. Bye. I said bye. You miss? You tell me. Bye. Blah, blah. Blah, blah. Blah, blah.
