 And there we are just like that back live on the internet Wednesday at one o'clock. I think we're right on time Thanks for joining us. We have an exciting day today. I wrote down a list of things that we're gonna do and then if you have any questions at any time we have the wonderful Jeff behind the camera and And he will read them and we'll try and figure it out while we make some things now We have a new microphone here. So at any time if if the audio is working or not working Can someone just say sounds great or hope your audio is not working and we'll make sure that we figure this out So there we go, why don't we start? Well, I'll find my list of things we're gonna do today So we're gonna be making three things. We're gonna do some ocean art We had a real a question from Roxanne males Sounds great. Oh, thanks, Alexis So Roxanne males was asking all about ocean art. So we're gonna do two pieces of ocean art We'll do one and this is a panel with a ridge and this one is actually Pizza pan from IKEA and wait to see Even though metal looks really shiny It actually is super porous and there and so resin sticks to metal you can they can't peel it off It's an interesting characteristic of Metal So we're gonna do that Oh, Louise Louis Colette. It says have a warm bath. Like I I think I have to have a warm bath with Louise Linda's excited about the ocean scenes. You're gonna do cool before I get too far Hello, mom. If you're watching, I'm sorry. I didn't say hi last week So thanks for watching and and I'll make you proud mom So that's the end so you hide a mom Now was that on your list? Yeah, I just had a mom see mom Unbelievable, okay, so what else are we gonna do the two other things we're gonna do is We're gonna resin this piece, but just make sure that it's absolutely perfect. Yes, that's our plan Yeah, we'll talk about that again And then I wanted to show you We put out this so we put out this color mixing guide Yeah, just yesterday. Yeah, so I'll show you what it is and we'll actually use this color mixing guide To make the colors for our ocean art So this can be a helpful tool. I'll just run through this quick. Oh, Tammy says thanks so much for the microphone Oh, good. Obviously, it's made a big difference. Great. Thanks guys. Thanks for the things for the feedback. Yeah So the first page if you just suggest the color wheel So it shows for each for each ounce of art resin use this many drops so if you want to make a Blue violet, you know for blue to a purple. Thanks, Alexis stuff like that. That's so cool It's really good. So per so this is a per ounce. That's the yeah Mounds of drops of two ounces double it up. Yep. All right. Now. This is a great page. These are making new We originally had this called sands But it's Making neutral colors and shout out to Jasmine for all her hard work doing this nice. That's good. Yeah jazz Jasmine Put this all together for us. So these are really good sands So we'll make one of these one We'll make the basic formula and then you can see if you want to be more peachy nude more of a grayish Sand or a bright sand color Now this one is for making browns So you have your basic brown formula and then to adjust the formula if you want more mahogany olive or gray That's how you can make nice browns for if you need nice browns Then pastels how to make pastels. It's very easy add lots of white Making pearls very easy Add lots of we have a metallic white color Which is you're adding pearl to any color Nice, Tammy loves the color chart. Oh, yes, it's great. I'm so happy with it So now this is about adjusting the opacity. So if you were to use So it's hard to see we tried to make it easy to see in the picture But this is alcohol ink can be alcohol ink can get really dark, but still be see-through whereas tints Can you come completely opaque? So if you were just to put a tiny bit of a tint and to resin it would be see-through But it wouldn't be dark like the alcohol ink anyways tips like that That are useful and then the last one is we just put together some common colors We've lavender sage green butter yellow peach dusty rose olive green periwinkle blue And that's that so You know what we need we need one on waters Different water Oh great, just go to art resin comm slash mixing right yeah art resin comm slash mixing and you just download there You don't even have to give us your email. Just take it. Yeah, it's free. Just take it Okay, there's a blog and a video But we're gonna add in the color mixing guide guide Add a water we want a water page because there's so many different types of water There's there's stream water earthy water tropical water deep ocean water lake water So how exciting All right, so that can check that off the list color mixing guide done done So making ocean let's let's answer these questions so Louise Colette she just was talking about every time she does she uses art resin She makes a warm bath, so we're just gonna do that just to show you and tell you why some people would do that So we just have lots of storage tubs Oh, hi mom. Hi dad. I said hi dear earlier mom if you missed it, but I appreciate you watching your son How to photograph your art resin How to resin a photograph? Yeah, well, why don't we we'll do that next week? We'll write that down and the next Wednesday at 1 o'clock. We'll resin a photograph All right, so I'm filling this up with hot warm water And I'm gonna put the art resin that we're going to use today in the bottle in this water And just let it sit while we prepare everything Now what that does is it makes it runnier? So that the bubbles release easier and it also spreads further because it's runnier, so It's one way to do it and you may like working with the resin better that way. I never do this I do a lot actually. Oh, really? Yeah, and I love The pour is clear and smooth. The only thing is it does shorten your working time So yeah, it helps with getting rid of all bubbles another way to do it is just work in a really warm room And it does that by itself, so I prefer to just put a heater on Sorry you got such a big bucket I didn't think Do what on and off from day-to-day over and over. Oh, I guess that put the resin in a water bath probably take it out Oh, yeah, yeah, we did test because we live in Canada and So stuff boxes would get delivered and left in the snow and So we're like, oh geez. I hope that's okay So we froze the product and let it thaw and it still was fine Yeah, like the product will still be fine the main thing for the product if you wanted to last a long time in the bottles is Exposure to oxygen. That's when it starts to discolor when resin gets exposed to oxygen So there's a couple tricks you can do to avoid that. So we're just gonna set this up right here and Hopefully this answers Well, actually this was a tip from Louise in the comments So thank you for all the comments and all the questions. We're just using them to figure out what to do next week resin, okay Oh nice, we just cleaned up all what we spent all morning decluttering This is the piece that Dave and Jasmine and I were creating where when we had leftover resin We just put it on there in different patterns and whatnot Dave had what we had octopus Yeah Okay, what let me see what other questions we had So that was we talked about warm bath. We're gonna do the ocean art. That's done those rocks in Um Laura had some questions. All right, one of them was where about where we got this pyramid from so this is This is a silicone part that Will pull away from the resin. This is a solid plastic mold. So it's two pieces and then it just sits inside like that to hold its To keep it rigid when you pour and we just got this off of Amazon And we just searched for an Amazon pyramid and so to find the one that has these two pieces So that's answers that Amazon pyramid. I'm not gonna shed questions about boat resin versus art resin So I'll go very quickly if you have a boat resin They formulate for different purposes, what does a boat need it needs to be really strong But able to flex a bit without snapping so then you when you Used chemistry and create the epoxy resin you focus on those attributes So when we were doing the chemistry for art resin, we focused on it being non-toxic So when used correctly non-toxic, so don't if you follow the instructions, there's no VOCs and no fumes so we focused on it being safe and we focused on it staying clear for a long time, so Boat resins is very similar, but it might if they didn't focus on UV protection. It might yell over time Whereas and yeah, so I hope that explains it Okay Laura and then another tip is if you never torch resin inside a silicone silicone mold Yeah, so that happened to Laura Andrews. She was torching her molds She was torching over top of her mold and then when you peel away the silicone It's now stuck to the resin and you'll tear your mold. So that's just a good tip to avoid yourself Okay, and then we're almost done we'll get going the very last tip was about How when you get sweaty When you get really sweaty in the studio It's hard to put on gloves and you know, it's just like when you're wearing a face mask For the virus it can get sweaty and hot in there so She's Debbie suggested that we Get the cotton gloves and you put on a cotton glove first and then you keep putting these over over top Yeah, so I wrote a note to buy some cotton gloves What was the other thing we're gonna do resin the photograph? Okay So next week resin a photograph and we'll go through mounting it and everything and what they consider Properly Oh, yes Yeah, cool Okay, so what are we doing today? So I'm just oh baby powder smart I Don't think I can use baby powder. It just doesn't feel like tough enough, you know, I Well, I'm working at it I don't know I haven't measured How much can you bench press? Okay, we'll do that next week So now we can be focused we've gone through a lot of stuff All we're gonna do today now is we're gonna focus on resonating this and making it absolutely perfect and doing these Ocean art pieces So I'm gonna mix up a bunch of resin and just start doing that if you have any questions Let me know otherwise Hang in there Well, I just got distracted So this is a piece that we did last week and Didn't take off the tape lot soon enough So now you just create a big job for yourself And so it's so frustrating to do this all the time. I just don't take the tape off There's got to be a better way. Can someone please find out a better way to do this? So that like you can rub oil on the bottom you could I Don't know But look at this I mean really what I'm gonna end up doing with this I'm gonna go to the garage and I'm gonna get the belt the belt sander and I'm gonna belt sand the bottom because this is ridiculous This would take this would probably take me You know, I'm just gonna use a power tool Well There's there is a best tool for every job and like it makes any job easy if you have the right tool right Cornstarch All right, so I'm gonna do something I'm gonna do something different here So I'm gonna get some oil and I'm gonna just rub oil on the back of this Just because I'm fed up. I'm sick and tired of this I'm not even tape. I'm just gonna put oil on I can find any well. There's our oil paint. Oh, we have so much oil. I'll use silicone oil Okay So this is an experiment, but I'm pretty sure it works So this is silicone oil Show the pieces on the table. Oh the one that this one here. I think Alexis Yes, we use duct tape all the time actually Yeah, tuck tape is so hard to get off. So I stopped using it Yeah, and the only problem with this and I'll figure it out later I'm just trying to find a better solution is After everything's done the back of this will probably still be oily So then what do you do wash it with soap and water, but just But just picking the tape off of the back all the time Yeah, this is just an experiment so it's just silicone oil Yeah, I think it's gonna work All right Okay, now you don't want to get oil on you don't want to get any oil on the surface because it'll just completely repel the resin Okay What do you think? Depending on your edges, you can I hate it or you can let it roll off And deal with the tape or just I don't know I find the only I find the best the way to always make it best It's just a messy job is to just go out into the garage and sand the heck out of it with the power sander and then paint it These ones really yeah, okay, I'll go get a Fine I'll be right back Okay He can Power There's high Okay, so what should I do? He just keep on it and then let's just pick an area warm it up Do this whole definitely what I do is create a ridge around the entire piece of tape I test to see every few minutes after my piece is done to see how it will flow over the side and once I go Yes, so honestly that is the easiest. It's a simple matter of timing of you just when you're done You come back you pull it off and it's very easy remove We're just dealing with a situation where maybe went away on vacation You didn't come to the office the next day or your studio. Yeah, and you're stuck with drips that are hard to get off Dave is now removing I feel easier No, yeah, maybe Sanding is dusty and messy I'm just gonna sand the heck out of it. I don't have the patience for this. I don't have the patience for it I'm gonna power sand it But whatever works for you Okay, moving on. Yes, we're moving on It's so easily distracted Don't do that to me Okay So we're gonna resin this one, but we're gonna make enough resin so that we can do the ocean pieces So what I'm going to need is a lot of buckets A lot of buckets Okay Move all this out of the way. There's a measuring cup There's one bucket. Okay, let's do some math. This is like two by one and a half I'm guessing. I'm just gonna say it's two by two to make math easy Yeah, it's because eight a third so 32 ounces does eight square feet Right for well under four and then plus those ones. I'll do a bit less. I'll do 25. Oh, then I can fill that up I'll just do 16 and 16. Okay 16 ounces and 16 ounces So, oh, we have warm resin remember we did that. Yes So if I wasn't rushing and have prepared more I'd have a smaller bucket that's taller, you know, and you fill it up higher obviously So this isn't the best job of water bath, but you get the point, right? That's some people really like to do that Okay, and I'm gonna put on gloves again I'm not too sweaty and I want a comment on my sweater today I'm sure that are you getting many comments on it Yeah Well, this is actually from Justin Bieber's clothing line I'm a big Justin Bieber fan The one he did with Diplo, yeah, and Skrillex Okay, let's mix some resin Yes So it's in here it kind it's kind of cool, but kind of not Your mom says that you look good. Oh, that's great. That's it. Everybody look at that Okay, so that's the same piece where we put the sand kind of made the heart shape. That looks I think that's really cool Yeah, okay, I think I was thinking maybe there's something else to do to it now I might sand it and then do something else and then you got like, you know if that's sand from some special place that you went What else do we do we did so much stuff last week? Look how awesome this is Yeah, they're all upstairs Yeah, if you if you coat the back of your coaster night then that gets rid of the ridge on the back to again That was a Jasmine win Thank You Jasmine Yeah, and this is why don't we do something else with this too Look how easily we are just no so much. Oh, here's one Oh, there they are look at Jessica. Oh, wow I'll start mixing resin Stay close to me for the microphone I'm gonna just be mixing up stuff here So if you see we have this is fully black when we put on the back of all of these You can't tell here, but Sometimes Black background Resin just report resin on the on top of the back and Let's move it up. You don't have a sharp edge and it's perfect You can go with any color you can go with pink you can go with blue Color of the rainbow, but there you go And Again Amazon Dave no this was from you line calm and then we just bought a bunch of these trades These are good trades for just you can store projects on it and yeah We're what they did bakers use for their submarine sandwiches Shari is asking about Jasmine. How she's doing. Oh poor Jasmine. Yeah, Jasmine is not doing well She she's for a whole life. I don't want to talk for her for a whole life She's had kidney stones and so she she goes through these things But I Certainly need like if I need something like Jasmine and She's not here. Okay 16 Okay, I'll get rid of all this stuff This was another new Jasmine did that. Oh nice. Oh, no Jessica did that. Jessica. Nice. Yes. I love it That's cool. And look yeah, so you got the mark the sides here So you can show the depth you can create Jessica and then using an art marker on the back Okay, so stick So I'm gonna get a bunch of Art So here are some ever handy beer cups and So when we start doing the ocean art over there We'll mix up the different colors and those this will be kind of my master pot that I'll pull from the master pot the master pot so this is 32 ounces and Well, anybody wants to share anything with us by all means like share us or send us images or anything Put it on our Instagram. We love it. Please share all of your work Yeah, there's lots of cool stuff people are doing So we're gonna do ocean art first And we'll come back and coat this game sure What is today? Thanks. Sorry. We will she's We'll pass on the good word to Jasmine Well, what's up? Oh, thanks, Kim June 20 loving us from Edmonton, Alberta Hi, Kim Hope you're in Milan Edmonton So whether like out there in Edmonton actually it's like you've had just a hot spell here in Ontario and With some thunderstorms, but we had a week. That was crazy good. Hey Yeah Yeah, when the sun's out everything is okay Janine's asking you where to get sand. Yeah, good question any vacation or I'm sure you can buy some online Guard stores must have sand packages. We'll steal it from the the local Park I'm sure you can find sand go for a walk There's sand somewhere, but it's cool to use. Yeah, like actual Actual sand I think today day is gonna use a color chart to create The color of sand. Well, do we have any more of the sand? Why don't we do one with actual sand one? Yeah So why not like the shower now because I got you but I got that the piece the resin piece How's that been long enough colorful? So that how much is in there? Oh, that's 30 chances So back to this Justin Bieber sweater back to Justin You know what it's I He's got some great songs, but this was terrible quality like it rips It's done. It's uh, yeah Justin Justin mr. Bieber. Don't don't mess around Like where'd you get this made? Huh? I said this was expensive to a Justin Bieber sweater They're not cheap, but then you go outside and like you like lift something and the tears I think they're they're Justin Bieber sweaters are made to just like You sit on a couch with it, you know You don't do anything By my sweater just don't move. Yeah Nice But I don't want to say anything bad about Justin He's very talented artist, you know, he lives just down the road from where we are We're in water down Ontario and he lives in the town with the most disgusting name Puss Lynch Puss Lynch, I might be saying that wrong, but I drive past that sign and I think what an ugly name for a town and Justin lives there on this beautiful like this huge house. Yeah, we should go. It's probably like 20 minutes up the road we could go say how you Justin Tom, but a sweater Yeah, we got all the certifications we had to go through so many tests and holy smokes Well first I'll divide it up so I'm gonna keep one of them just clear You're always happy to have some clear. I'm gonna keep one of them. That's a lot That's a good yeah, one of them will be dark blue one of them will be light blue Or or teal maybe and one of them will be Beach You want to do the ocean waves? Of course, I need white to you want a cup clear dark blue light blue beach white Yeah, one more cup. I don't think I mean mixed enough resin What have I done? Thank you I didn't mix enough resin look at me. Oh What the heck do we need all that? I? Don't know. I'm gonna pour see this all this clear remember. We did this one last week. Yeah, so I did it So there it is I'm gonna just pour clear on now and then when it's done. I'm gonna sand just sand the heck out of it and then probably varnish it And I'll be done I I always mix too much resin. I Think we've got we're gonna have right up over on the colors, but I don't have enough to do this one Okay, let's focus on the ocean art then, okay If you want to take some definitely don't need that much clear Well, I'm just gonna use the clear right now, so I'm just gonna put the clear I'm just gonna put the clear Where I know that there's gonna be The lighter part where the where the thin water is is reaching the dirt and this one too. I'll put some clear there That's plenty Okay, so what color do you want to do first? I'm gonna follow our color mixing guide for sand Okay, yep It's just a recipe card The basically for the basic formula three neon green That neon Intention There's a neon yellow me an orange Have to open a new pack But me and green Okay, and this is for every ounce. I have I don't know how many ounces four or five Okay, what's next neon pink neon yellow and white Wow neon green neon pink neon yellow White And it looks like we have a lot less of the pink than we do of the green And it looks like we have about the same of the neon yellow and then add a bunch of white Here while I mix why don't we come over to this wall and chill in this oh You should have got a shot that was so freakin cool. So what we have is This is The original packs are just your standard base colors than neons Then metallics and then this is alcohol ink which Which does it a lot as much different than these and we've shown that in past ones we can do it again Look at that. There's some sand. Wow See Now I want to make it a bit pinker. So I'm just gonna add a bit more. I'm just gonna add a bit more pink Moving to port I made too much sand That's a lot of resin Very pink now. What have I done? Oh, it's so good. I had it nailed it before Just What have I done here? It's very red And some white maybe it's okay Beverly. We're all right That's getting better That's nice. Oh, yeah, there it is. That's so weird. I don't know. That's actually kind of amazing. All right. Here we go Holy mother knows that ghost usually comes at night only though There you go So this side and okay This is the first time I've done this yes, okay, and we'll continue to work on this piece with our extra materials so at the at the end of every You know one hour or so live video Wednesday that one We put all our scraps on this we used to be filling up. We used to be filling up a giant mold with it layer by layer. I Don't know where that is Yeah, okay, so next I'm going to I'm gonna put some of this clear back away. I had way too much clear clear so We're gonna add a page this color mixing guide for water Because that's a good one to do but for now what we're gonna do is we're just gonna figure it out Well the alcohol inks are my favorite You just keep trying Okay, so we got all sorts of blues here I'm gonna be using a lot of blue and white. I kind of want to use some I'll call link to One day we'll be so organized Okay, let's calm down. Let's calm down. So this is a Little bit of blue here. See how it turns out. That's a very ocean blue. It's opposed to a bright blue That one's more. This is a more bright blue. It's supposed to notionally blue Yeah, I was actually gonna add a bit of neon green to the I Close into the shoreline anything else black grow It's a mixing sticks White Okay, so I have mixing sticks and I'm looking for The sand that we used last week All of that. Here's more sand. So this one why one of them we're gonna mix in actual sand, okay? And we'll play around with that later Just one of them, okay Okay, so I'm gonna add some white we made yes, we're going we made the resonant white and a big bottle because You end up using a lot of it. I'm gonna add a bit of See if there's a dark green That's a dark Why don't like Since we had silicone oil out In a couple parts. I'll show you what this does To resin but I for one I mean I talked I talked to chemists about chemistry and The chemists think I can't believe that people put this with their resin because they're they're naturally made to repel each other So curious to see what will happen to art made with silicone down In a number of years based on what the chemistry says Yeah, this is a very soapy mint green. Do we just go with it? No, it's kind of weird Oh, see I added way too much white to the dark blue Way too much good everybody. So this is a good These colors actually so this is muted. This is a good example. Yeah, this is how you make pastels pastels You make pastels with yeah but um Oh, no, see I added so much white Yeah, yeah, what have I done? Why did you fork just clear resin in the middle? Um, I don't know I don't know I just let it look nice. That's weird kim. Yeah, that shouldn't happen if you're doing exact measurement of resin and hardener you should The bottles are should be the exact same Okay, look at this is a very minty like this is a very it's not quite what I want, but Okay I left it clear because I left space I'm gonna add the white and I left space just for stuff to happen like stuff will just happen So I just like and that's where you want it to all happen. So when you have a clear you'll see Not only will the colors mix, but you'll have other spaces and stuff A nice mint green just along here. Look at that Sorry Microphone check microphone check check one two See look how sweaty sweaty. I am I need those cotton gloves to put underneath I tried someone suggested just keep putting new gloves on top of your dirty gloves And I that was a disaster So I don't know what to do and I'm not gonna be putting baby powder on my hands Just Not with Jeff here Everybody loves mint How do you feel about a studio audience? Um Hmm That'd be so much fun But not a studio audience just more people around doing stuff come on come on over Yeah, bring something to do Yeah, bring something over to do that'd be fun Without going that's a great idea Okay, I added too much white. So after I do all this I'm gonna uh Do there's gonna be three layers of blue actually And I'll bring this one into here Just a little bit That'll do her Okay Oh, that's a good idea Start with a few gloves on Okay, so I'm gonna get one more cup And I'm gonna mix up some just dark dark dark blue beer cup Okay, so I'm resonating an old picnic table just because that's so many splinters in it And I'm excited to see if that what that does to it. Did you sand it first? No, I didn't even sand it No, you're just gonna pour on there. Yeah, just pour it. Yeah, because I have a Friend of ours just gave us their old picnic table a little mini one for the kids And I was debating about sanding and putting those on myself. Yeah, and if you kind of look at it Like the worn look looks kind of nice. Yeah, so I was gonna sand it, but then I thought that's more work Maybe it'll be fine. So Okay, now what am I doing? Yeah, and that's just some lines I mean most of the work's just going to be done just by chilling and waiting Kim, where do you live? What is the microphone not working? Oh, okay, see we need to put a microphone on you Jeff We just got you all that because you guys can't hear me very well. So I think I yeah, if I'm talking right here Um, but that doesn't work. Um, we need to put a microphone on you. Can we do that with this thing? Yes, I've done a little rig. So I got to put Let's do it double input. I can use it's just Come person to walk around with but you know what can you like can we find we can find a buckle for you? No, I don't have like a maybe a fanny pack a fanny pack. Yeah, I got one of those All right, so I'm just gonna do the dark blue. I have a tiny bit of resin here And then I'm just gonna let and then uh, yeah, we'll blow it around a bit Throw some silicone oil in it and this So that's just pure white, right? So yeah, yeah, so I'm done with that. I'm gonna do dark blue Yes, okay. What blues do we have here? Baja blue This is an alcohol ink which I'm mixing together. Oh, that's very See this one. Uh, the resonant blue is uh Much more reminds me of like a deep ocean like very deep water But the alcohol ink feels like it's uh tropical Okay They were In our last line of really dark black here Here's the show Danielle over here Well, I'm really many for here. All right So now So now you just kind of play with it for a bit sometimes Not doing too much is the best other times you need to mess around with it So I'll put some silicone oil into it Even though I I uh, I don't think it's a good idea, but it just looks cool, right? Okay, and I just kind of kind of let it sit for a while I'll just drag some I mean this art's fun to do And some people have their own techniques that are just amazing, you know, there is Bad pun intended, but some An art to it, right when you're you see what the uh, you see what the The silicone oil does it just repels everything it's creating those nice nice and cells But yeah, you can just create your own Here's the sand. I want to get all this sand under Underneath and just be like it's like the texture of sand kind of Again, this was just a dollar store tray I look what's happening here. That's pretty cool. I'm just gonna get a scrap piece of paper And just I mean you just kind of Make it up as you go to be honest Okay So now I'm going to add a bit more White it seems like we have a wave trying to escape out this way So we're gonna send Make that just play with that shape right use the hairdryer sure all right Oh, I unplugged it to use the uh heat gun And I just got everything sticky absolutely everything just got sticky Everything sticky in my life soon this Justin sure it's gonna be sticky Well, maybe all the material that's falling apart will stick together. That's right But seriously Justin Hashtag Justin Bieber We've got a studio with Danielle Danielle that is way Oh, I thought you meant just I thought you meant and his wife will come yes, and whoever else is in whoever's in caladin out there and whoever's in caladin cool come on out schoenberg and we'll uh We'll hang out but first we got to get Justin here Yeah, they know where he's at bus litch There you go. We'll gear up probably on the way See look what the the uh, I don't like what the silicone oil is doing It's interesting, but it's not, you know, that's what you get It's it's a different kind of art if you're creating an ocean though You really want to work with a hairdryer? Oh, yeah, I'll do that mention But I mean it's it's a style right? But it's beautiful Let me just get this So this is called tampering tampering. Yeah When you're using a uh, when you have sand and resin Let me just spread it out. Look at that Look at that. That looks great And this one looks great, but we'll play around. I started getting the uh the plug All right I think we're selling these are we selling these? Uh came unplugged Oh life anything It's kind of playing with it That's something Anyways, you get the idea, right? Okay, so that's some basics about ocean art There are people who just do so much of this and there's so many videos. So if you're interested, there's no shortage Give a shout out to our uh, yeah, rebecca What's your last name? Beyonzo? Beyonzo? Beyonzo, rebecca. Beyonzo. Yeah, we did a great ocean art video. Um Not a few months ago and um, she did like two works. She worked with a Joanne and we did these two awesome pieces And um, yeah, so that's awesome tips on her style But then you can also be creative and create the colors actually work really well, I think Anyways, it's your own style. Whatever your that's what art is Is like a glass of water. Yeah, I hope you're all drinking enough water out there. Isn't that that's That's very important and we're always telling Jeff Have you had water today and he's like, oh no I didn't Jeff How many glasses of water do you have a day? Honestly before the past couple weeks zero zero waters a day. See probably two teas And uh, maybe I like I literally pour a glass of water for dinner or lunch and I maybe have a sip And that's very bad so Justin Bieber is actually traveling across the United States. This is like in a camper really look at this Justin Bieber Look at that in like one day or something. Okay, come on. We want to be a believer We do we do. Is he really traveling right now? Oh, he's so great Yeah I was hoping he was right up the road He's on the road, so we'll just tell him to turn around and yeah, get your butt over here Okay, so the last thing that we're going to do today Unless we get distracted and find something else to do Is and I'll tell I'm I'm going to tell the story about this one. Okay, so it all started with um Um, just the idea of of teaching my daughter and now my son how to that you can write a book and finish it so We came up with this silly story And where's the book? The story book Okay So it's called Ollie's new socks named after Ollie the CFO of the company And I'm hoping that that this makes him really happy But this octopus, uh He goes to put his socks on And he finds He gets excited. He keeps you know, you count along with him And then he says there that's all my socks eventually And you're like no, no, you're missing one But then He's always freaks out And he looks everywhere And then he just starts putting his feet in random objects And then it goes from there but uh So zoe helped me write the book and then my brother ryan worked on the wording and And then zoe is your daughter zoe is my daughter And then we got to the we did watercolors. So these are all the paintings And they're watercolors, but when you're coming up with sock designs Like where's the sock designs? We wanted to come up with uh, so there's seven different socks And in order to come up with the designs for the socks We worked on this piece of art that we're going to resin today So I just made this diamond shape and me and zoe just this always stayed out on our kitchen table And I just had some markers beside it and you just come and you would just just kind of like doodle around And we always knew we were designing the octopuses socks So anyways, we picked our top ones and they made it into the book and then It was then what then we published then we made the book And so it's done now and you can get on amazon if you want to But I wanted to resin this piece just to kind of uh Finish it off. So what I'm going to do is I'm going to resin the top I'm going to just rub it over the sides We cut we coated the bottom of this with silicon oil And then just an experiment to see if the drips just won't even attach at all But then we'll have to do something with the oily back So I think we're ready to go Right That is honestly a good story Yeah, well the whole thing was I felt like I had to finish it So that Zoey could see the whole process, you know, and they're like, oh, yeah, you can just write a book You just you it just is amazon publishing like And then you're right on it's Kids love books, right? So I'm sure it's like fascinating for her. Yeah, someone wrote that book. They thought about it Where did the concept of the octopuses socks come from? Um, I I just thought it was an interesting idea That's all I just kind of started with the idea Yeah, actually. Yes, I told I uh said to my brother Ryan I said, uh I asked him if he wanted to help and I told him the main outline He said he puts on socks and he's missing one So then he puts on a bunch of random things on his feet And then Ryan came up with everything actually He wrote the book Because when he puts on like a trumpet on his foot He puts on Visual Well, and it was actually the coronavirus that really pushed us to get done because you're stuck at one kind of thing or Well, I felt like I needed to do something right I just needed to do something and I needed to and So you make up projects for yourself. And I think that's What art what why artists are artists? So if you're not making anything Like come up with the project think of something to make And just start making it and it takes time it takes time But you have something there and that's when we feel Like we have some control over our life Because we're creating something Something beautiful Yeah All right, so I don't think I used that next up enough resin. It's a very thin coat But I'm just touching every single surface And then just self levels out Thanks, Alexis. That's nice. Alexis Would like to Purchase the book.
