 All right, I don't know how many of you guys are gonna tune in today right now because I'm a little bit early But I gotta do something so I figured why not just record As some of you guys know, I was like maybe I should just resin because it's raining and why not I'm super pumped to see it finish too because Just like you guys have no idea how it's gonna turn out But we're gonna adventure together Right, right. So let me just show you what it looks like at this point. Oh Sure, and I'm gonna be going up to see G in about an hour or so It's raining and I'm not a fan of driving in the rain. So I'm I'm just waiting for that to subside. It should be done raining in like an hour or so So we didn't have too much movement Overnight I did forget to take the aluminum tape off. So I'm gonna take it off with you guys in tow and Hopefully I don't take off too much of the canvas with it We had some travel right here, but I don't really mind that so much I think it is interesting and I don't mind this either Because as you guys know geodes aren't perfect at all So now we're gonna do layer To and I also found some metal flake That's like a deep blue color. So Hi Judy So we'll see we'll see how it goes. I know it just makes it more real looking I agree Let's get you guys a little closer Hi, Miss green shoes All right now Not set Which is fine because we're doing a clear coat today anyway, so that's not a big deal at all Let's start by mixing up some resin so it can already start to get Stiffened up Too early for that. So she says I know I thought I would sink in the middle too But I did crack that but I mean there is a little bit of give But not that much What's up Billy Phil congrats on your pieces by the way, I think this is gonna be a partial for So I'm gonna just mix up some That's true. It is never too early for that. So she says very very wise We're gonna use a master cast so by the time this piece is finished I will have used This is the third brand of resin are the rocks glass We're talking about By some of them are Michaels and other ones are Fire pit glass for like fireplaces a passion lotus Wondering our what's up me missy? so I'm just gonna mix this up first and apply the first of all, I'm gonna add some more resin over my rock player because Some of them are still a little bit mobile, which is fine Because I'm adding another coat. Anyways, is there glass on top of the silver leaf? No It's just my cup flakes and glitter and silver leaf Bre I have no idea about that, but I will definitely look into it now that you mentioned it Have you tried the torgenal Micah Blake yet? I don't think I've got any of the Micah flakes from torgenal Maybe I did I got a lot of the large glitter plate But I know Judy got some of those Michael flakes the large cut and I'll probably borrow some of hers when I'm up there and Do some experiments with them when I get back here? 45 watching I figured most of my regular people Would be at work or asleep right now but I was wrong you guys showed up which I Figured this would be one of those videos that people would have to play back like nobody would be down to watch in the middle of the afternoon I'm wrong. Y'all are great. They're difficult to use like how? Thank you, Sarah Notifications are a wonderful thing. What's up, Lisa? Lucy? What's up? So I'm gonna go ahead and mix up just a little bit of my art resin Not as much as I did yesterday to create that amazing paperweight that I now have All right, one of my favorite favorite pastimes is pulling resin off of things made of plastic Yeah passion lotus there's no way to upload photos To YouTube unless you do them like you said in like a slideshow and then upload that as the video to your YouTube I Was gonna start uploading like a photo Just to announce like what time we're gonna be going live on certain days, but It wouldn't let me So I'm just gonna have to upload it at like a super long video. I guess That's awesome Megan. Thank you so much for that. What's up little bunny 2004 Nurse calls in the house bubbles bubbles everywhere. I've already headed up to see Judy, but I'm not a fan of driving in the rain and we're supposed to be like moving stuff into her poor house and And that would have been not productive in the rain, so I don't know if you guys can see all these bubbles Masterclass definitely has less bubbles Lots of no, but you're the one that own the resin corn web address. That's so fantastic We talked about that for a little while after we got off the feed luckily. It's not like thunder and lightning here It's just regular crappy weather not like stormy weather Hi Petra. I believe I did get your hashtag. I will double check that though Making a difference lost in no bow How's the weather up there anyway? So I'm going ahead and dividing this out into the little cups because The longer you keep your resin in the bigger cups the more likely it is to turn it to a giant paperweight The proof is from last night when I created my very own Paperweight and it doesn't matter like if you're using an expensive resin or Like in Viratex, whatever if you leave it in a bucket it's gonna make it get hotter as it starts to like set up and You know I can work art resin for an hour but it set up in the bucket after 30 minutes probably So Just keep that in mind when you're mixing up resin Tamar you used total cast. I've never used Total lab cast Zach Blunt. What's up Zach? Hot and dry is ideal for Using resin though, so that's good If you wanted resin to thicken you could just pour it into several cups and still keep it clear without setting up Um, yes The thing is if you leave it in a big bucket it won't just thicken up it will harden and It won't give you enough time to divvy out your colors into separate cups and mix the color then so if you do it like this you can add your Pigments and colors and stuff and if it does start to set up That's when you can just go ahead and use it right then, but if it starts to set up in the bigger bucket You're not gonna have time To pour it out add a color mix it and work through every color that you made before it completely sets up There's kind of no turning back once it gets to that point It's like it builds off of the heat that it's made and just gets worse So I think for this layer I'm going to use a lot of clear not clear but um Transparent and actually I might go ahead and shape up some of my lines while this is Doing its thing let's go ahead and pour this out actually D Where's Jeff? He they're probably on their way back from Austin by now Like though that would be really pretty. I like middle-sized cups That's gonna have to do Okay The pens that I like to use for this are paint pens But I've also used chalk pens before I don't think there's enough pigment on Part two how is heavy body acrylic to use in resin lucy it really depends on How thick your resin is The thicker the paint used to put in in resin The thicker it is to incorporate it fully so You can use it. It's just hard to not end up with chunks of paint If that makes sense at all I actually use paint pens and a lot of my work. There's not a whole lot that can't be fixed With a paint then Oh cat tails that said that she has a lot of luck using thicker paints with her resin and that's one of her favorites, so Go for it the only paint I've ever said not to use in resin is um Acrylic no oil paints, but that's just for my own life experience the part two of the geode is To add a second layer in the second layer. I'm going to use mostly transparent paints Um, so you can see the work that I put into the first layer I'm also going to add some of the thinner Limes that you find in geodes As soon as I've shaken up these lines a little bit They went a little bit too soft During some of the pour so I just I like to keep some definite lines And I've got time to kill While this resin Thickens up a little bit. I wish I had a pink paint pen however. I don't Maybe we'll just use this silver Maybe not. It's too light Maybe this sharp you want to work better. What's up, baby? Thanks for dropping in. Have fun at the birthday party and have to break out the big guns for this silver paint None of them feel like cooperating today In a lot of ways. I think that this process makes the geode look More geode In my hand. Bye misty Sorry, Lisa. I'm gonna have to wait Unless you have to go handle it then I understand. I do have a video out that Shows my prep process, but I I need to do another one because it's kind of getting lost in all the old ones Rest of you should totally Just totally try to do one How do you recommend it? I think we're about ready to add some resin Thanks you guys for answering questions that I'm missing while I'm not paying attention Always try to Make sure all of my stones Are embedded Pretty well And then I like to add the glitter first so I can dust any like rogue glitter away You're in one second and I'll move you guys closer to the action Okay That is what she says You got me that'll be fun so I'm gonna add some of this metal plate It's got kind of a purple hint to it, but I think the colors I'm using are so like such a deep color that it won't really Matter that much I could be wrong There's a difference in metal plate versus like Just glitter I think I think the metal plate like glittered like sparkle boy and brighter man Too much that's gonna look great I'm just putting a little bit more resin over it to seal it in I haven't mixed the colors into my resin yet. So I've got plenty of clear my disposal for now You think I should add the deep purple And to this one or keep it like silvers and teal Glitter always always mixed opinions So we'll save the idea for this part. It's a little bit later Now the big cups are art resin the small cups are My bigger resin So let's mix those first I'm going to Do mainly inks for this level because I want the bottom layers to show through so I'm not going to use much pigment at all Even though I'm not adding much still equals Pretty transparent colors sometimes Looking good and if y'all think worked out well, I'm just wondering how much of it's going to show through since I'm about to add A transparent layer over top of everything We'll see how that works What do you want to do? I don't know I don't have Jeff here to like bounce ideas off of so I'm just In a wing in it situation So I'm also considering doing a thick glitter vein Maybe between the black and the blue We'll see If that's the case then I should probably go ahead and mix it I'm thinking about just doing silver when you go to do a thick like glitter line and geodes You've got to add more glitter than you even think you should have it should be just almost like bright before a slime consistency Kujo is fine. He's In his little nap place for when I do my resin stuff Actually, he's there a lot of time. He just likes to be under the The table Let's see So I'm sure you guys noticed how like Chunky and thick that layer was it's still like holding it shape Part of that is because we let the resin Rest before we use it And part of it is because of the amount of glitter that I added Bill I am bouncing ideas off of you. I'm just saying That you guys have to be my soundboard for right now ie I hope you can take it So I made this green color, but I'm not exactly sure what I want to do with it I think I'm gonna line this up a little bit pretty similar to the I don't know why they call it seafoam. It's not seafoam at all But it's pretty similar to that color See you time. I know I love the not seafoam, but I wish they had a native seafoam because it's not Seafoam I want to do I want to put more of this teal color because I feel like it kind of got lost under that I'm just gonna mix a healthy batch of it It's not transparent, but Yeah, geodes do become heavy on the canvas, but Pressed it so it shouldn't Adjust too much Cat I believe I did I dove its new name not seafoam Cosine and seconded Motion carry It is now not seafoam I also need some more black So the the thing I wanted to test Last night about putting different kinds of resonance to itself or each other It worked out. Well, I didn't have any real issues I'm sharing I am early. I wanted to get a video out before I head up to Judy's Because who knows what kind of shenanigans we'll get into up there That's still too thin to work with This one's okay Yes, the not seafoam is by counterculture Hi Keisha Yeah, the more lines you add the more I guess dimension it ends up having Which I suppose is something that people are looking for with the resin work I'm really not sure what resin I had in this cup, but we're gonna find out if it's um If it was art resin or if it was Master cast and if it all except having other resin mixed into it We'll see Lucy it might Not see foam, right? Sorry not see foam All right, I'm definitely gonna need white as well I picked up this pearl lights blue interference white that I'm probably gonna mix up and add to this Soon to niche this art resin is still super thin Probably gonna go ahead and mix the colors into it. So it'll start to set up a little bit Y'all this black diamond and midnight blue is such a pretty color I'm gonna have to do like a piece dedicated to that color I know I'm pretty sure I'm gonna have to add a white Through this part or possibly this part. What do y'all think? I'm not sure I want to go with this Hey Nathan, so you guys should put a white up here or down here Below the teal So right here, I think you guys are right so So okay pretty sure That I want to keep this part So you can see through it. So I'm gonna add clear over it just to like Set it in So I don't pour over this area And even if I do it'll show what we have underneath it But I don't want to add too much because I don't want it to move So I'm just gonna move it around with a stir stick Into the area that I want it to be And actually I think I'm gonna bring it out into the white Just a little bit So that some of that marbling stays intact If I get too crazy adding more resin That first resin that we put down is already starting to set a little bit See what y'all are saying because my internet's still stupid This is still too thin to work with Let's mix up some of this interference white Now Ellen I forgot to take the tape off from last night So That's going to be an adventure in and of itself When I do get around to taking it off We'll see how that goes. I mean at the very worst. I'm just gonna have to um Sand down the sides Do a clear flood coat, which is not the worst thing in the world This is a pretty color. It has sort of a pink Interference as well as the blue. I don't know if you guys can see it But we're gonna give a shot and since we kind of incorporated some pink in it already It's not the worst Yeah, if I did heat it it would come off a little more easily, but I'm gonna have to wrestle with it at some point anyways. I'm just gonna save it till then So that's working out well Thank you, Natalie. You're working on some amazing stuff. By the way, ma'am So The silver that I put in here has turned Like a pinkish color. I have no idea why Whatever because I already have pink in it anyways Yet almost looks another pearl looking business So I want to add more of this deep teal color that we have right here I think I'm gonna put it I'm gonna put a line right here Maybe just under this clear It's still super thin So I'm gonna have to let that rest a little bit I'm also contemplating putting like something in the middle of this Thoughts or should I leave it? I'm just gonna test something real quick. It does look like a melting metal Ruralis glitter teal crystals in the middle Small amount of purple I was thinking about putting another glass Last situation Just thought Haven't decided on that quite yet So I just now decided I wanted to put clear right here because I like how it looks So I'm just gonna cover all of where I have my pen marks That I haven't already covered up with other colors This will also add really great depth if we decide to do a third coat It's really great that you can move resin around like this and not worry about it Like laying flat because Resin self levels So you don't really have to worry about that too much As long as you've created like a pathway for the resin to go It will Go where you already put it and level out on its own If I hadn't taken the tape off last night, I would have put um A new Later tape on today First of all, it's because um Since we're going to be using so much resin it kind of saves me from having to Fix up the sides and stand too much um, secondly I used it because I don't want it's like the length of my table and it would have for sure gotten onto the floor So Those are the main reasons why I wanted to mask it off this time Can't see what y'all are saying Please hold Bill, I've never tried this spray polycrylic But you would have to use it and tell me how you liked it if you have it The best place to buy fresh glass is buyplaceglass.com or um You can get a small glass at michael's I only really have this deep teal left and i'm trying to figure out where I want to put it My top left so that'd be here Or here We'll just get all the corners and we can do one more time Thanks for looking out. I'm still having the where do I put My dark teal color Do I like that? Do I not like that? There Something different Sherry, I know the geo thing is not for everybody, but I'm trying You know when I see somebody do something that I think they do super well And like amazing like Miss Colerberry and AB does geos and they always look so great I'm always like I gotta try it and so Then I get like almost obsessed and I have to try it until I basically figure it out So it's kind of where I'm at with this whole geo thing I'm just trying to figure it out At this point everything's gonna be you know, everybody's taste, but That is why they made chocolate and vanilla ice cream. It's true So I'm still not sure what to do with the middle of this guy And when I can't figure out what to do I kind of just wing it Here we go You have to let it set and Put it clear in between here, but I don't want to go ahead and do it just yet because I don't want Um, it to spread right now Since art resin is doing what I like about it and like giving me like exceedingly amazing working time so I'm gonna let it rest and Tomorrow I'll do a clear coat here. I'm gonna clear through all of this And I'll probably rework I still need to figure out what to do with this part I'll probably do like a blue a really transparent blue Through that and when I when I think I'm done with it I will well each layer. I'll add a clear over the blast parts To make sure that they're embedded So by the time I'm done with it. I don't really worry that they're gonna move at all Because I've had it clear every time I've worked on it. So by then they're pretty well Set and clear to the dark feathers, huh? I'll take your advice For this part, I'm going to use some of this art and glow resin because It's got a bigger consistency and I won't have to wait for it to set up a little bit Maybe I'll have enough to go ahead and clear this part as well Or to do the blue clear That was talking about Tell me that's not a bad idea at all when I stir stick some down to popsicle sticks I've used them all of my like batch that I have just for use Now so let's just dust this on a little bit to soften up These lines like Claire said I am mixing two different resins, so I hope that doesn't We'll find out if it does anything at all Putting a clear over a color you already have down will soften it Ideally it will anyway Yeah, it's starting to bleed out a little bit Which is what we're going for as soon as I hit it with a heat gun Um, it'll definitely move around And I'm going to put some in the middle since it was raw glass Before I mix this batch up and I think I'm going to add a little bit of sparkle to it Just a little obviously not a little Yeah, it's like feathering out here. That's what Those are recommended that I add so that it will Do that Let's add some clear over this part To make sure that everything's in there And I'm pretty sure that these two are already covered but Just in case by sherry so Let's add So a little bit of blue Like the tiniest amount of blue Just to give it a tint Like it was half of a dropper No, like half of a single drop out of the dropper So now it's got like Almost no color, but it's still blue tinted I'm going to go in tomorrow with the white paint pen And lighten the palette up Because it's fairly dark now That took all the whites out So I'll just address that tomorrow The thing about these geodes is It takes a lot to do them Which I don't mind because I'm going to pour anyways Might as well Use the time to learn something new And explore How to do things I don't know how to do Like geodes The color is Turquoise by Bombay, it's an ink I have allergies I have allergies I'm going to have to take something in a minute Yes, there will be a part three I didn't anticipate a part three But give me a reason to pour I have no problem So I'm going to give you guys an up close View of what we got going on That is getting a little bit messy right there Because of the clear added I'll have to go back That interference blues Looking really good I almost think it's kind of busy and messy In some parts but I will go back And make appropriate adjustments I don't know why that color Turned like that weird red I don't remember what color it was But I'm sure it wasn't That color when I put it down I'm liking how this silver Is bleeding out into this other color Definitely have To lighten it a little bit But that will be for part three Sorry I'm going to add some silver Back to this area Because I don't want it to I don't want to lose that Good enough Where's my this It's definitely learning curve But you know what That's something I don't mind about art Is there's always something To learn Always something to learn Always something to try And I think you have to try I think that's one of my favorite parts about sharing All of My techniques and what I learn And if things work Or if they don't work Is that I can share it with you guys And either You can learn from my mistakes Or you can Like seeing that I mess up Might help somebody to be more Confident when they do their work I don't know I just feel like This is my Way of contributing If someone needs to see that I failed to In order to Give resin a go Then so be it Because I think everybody fails At some point Well not fails, but Something may not work out like you want it to And Then it's a learning process Instead of a Sellable piece of artwork I'm going to leave this here for Jeff to take care of When he gets here He'll be back probably around seven tonight So maybe he'll decide to do a pour I'm about to go to Judy's So I'll see all of y'all Tomorrow Or later tonight I don't know, we'll see Y'all know the drill, if you have any questions Please shoot me an email Thorntonartistilldeath.com to tees2ls If you would like to show me some of your artwork Please use the hashtag A-T-D-A-R-T You can find me on instagram And facebook at artistsilldeathstudios On instagram and Thorntonartistilldeath On facebook We have a website artistilldeath.com It's right here And Yeah, I'll catch all y'all later Bye I said bye
