 I hope you're all having an amazing day. What does it say? Is it Monday still? I think it's Monday. Probably Monday. Probably still awesome. What's up? It is me, Erica. Jeff is cooking dinner because he's amazing. And we are artists till death. We go live every day. Usually at 6 p.m. and today I'm a little bit early because I'm trying to be done around dinner time because I've been ordering paints, doing inventory all day and I'm starving. Anyways, today I'm going to do a, I haven't done a geode on the channel in a while. So today we're gonna do an emerald, nope. Opposite of emerald, ruby geode. I should probably turn this sideways and zoom you guys in some. Let's do that. Boop. How's the weather where y'all are? Here it is. At least it's not raining. Actually it may be raining. No, it's not raining. At least it's not raining. What's up? What's up? Susan, Sue, Christy, Judy, Shelley, Von, Paige. Carrie, how you doing? Nancy. Yeah, it's pretty chilly here but it's not like the coldest it's been. So today we're gonna pour on one of our geode free form shapes. I painted this one white but you can use a trimmer or you can hang it. Whatever you wanna do with it. It's up to you cold, cold, cold and gloomy. You saw the sun today but it was cold. At least you got to see the sun and wave at it or something. We got to see it yesterday. We got to see it for a second yesterday. I threw the Cowboys one, no McGill. Wet and chilly in Melbourne. I figured it'd be like. Yeah, isn't it like summer in Australia right now? I don't know things. So I went ahead and mixed up my resin because I was a little bit prepared, question mark. So yeah, so I'm gonna go ahead and mix my colors and I will let you know what colors I'm using as I mix up them. Alrighty, so the first color we're gonna use is called cherry. I just got some of this in. You guys are the first to know that I got a shipment in from Color Obsession and it's already on the website and I just put another order in with everyone. But this safety seal is being a little bit of a turd. So I always have an X-Acto blade on hand just in case I need help getting a seal off. Got it. Be careful if you use X-Acto blades. They will cut you. I've been cut. I don't even know how many times I'm on X-Acto blade. You cut yourself with an X-Acto blade and just sat in the back of the class. Jeff still has a scar on his hand where he cut his self. It's supposed to be summer, but they're still waiting to see the sun, they say. So if you haven't used cherry before, it's a beautiful color. It is translucent. So it's not quite transparent. It's a little bit in between opaque and translucent. It's beautiful color and you're gonna get to see a lot of it in just a moment. I always overload my colors. You do not have to use the amount of colorant that I use. Just know that I always overload my colors. We call it freaking Judy out. Judy does always like when I add pigment to my colors. Jeff always gets in trouble. So this color is what Ruby looks like. As you can see, you can see straight through it. I hope you can see that you can see straight through it. As you can see, but it's a bit bright for me. So I'm gonna drop in a something. What is this? I have an iris color that I'm just gonna add to it. Iris, yeah, it's about, it's like an iris color. You could use any dark purple paste. I wouldn't mix in an acrylic into this, but another paste or dye is fine as long as it's not water-based. This made it like maybe then the wrong purple to add, but we're still gonna roll with it. What's up, Emma? What's he making for dinner? I'm not sure. What are you cooking in there? Apparently something with chicken. That's all the information that I got. What's up dancing with aardvarks? How are things? I haven't seen you in a bit. I did a little bit more cherry to brighten the color up a little bit. It is kind of a plummy color, which I can roll with. Actually it's almost like a brown color. I think I may not use this. It looks good when it's thinning out, but when it's like the opaque version, it's a little bit chocolatey. Scrapping this, I made plenty of square resin though, because I am currently working on filling up a something, a shadow box with memorial flowers. So I was just gonna add the leftover to there, but that's fine. We're good. So I'm gonna start with pomegranate and then add some cherry, because this is gonna be a little bit purpley and we're gonna make it a little bit more red. Rib beans and rice, that sounds delicious. So pomegranate's a little bit of a purpley red color, which may have been the color I was shooting for in the first place. I have pomegranate on order. I am out of it at the moment, but I have some on order. But just so you guys know what pomegranate looks like, isn't that a gorgeous color? I have some on order, don't freak out. I expect it by Monday at the latest. Snow three feet in Alaska overnight. Wow. So because this has a little bit of a purpley hue to it, this cherry may not cover that, but I'm gonna add some anyways and see if it turns it into more of a red pomegranate instead of this beautiful purpley pomegranate. Yeah, I made it just a little bit more red. It's gonna be beautiful. I love it already. So next color I'm gonna mix up is some bright gold from just resin. Apparently this is an old one because it's a little bit thicker than it should be, but that's fine. It'll still work amazing. If you guys don't tell Jeff, I'll tell you guys I wish it would snow here more often, but don't tell him because he doesn't like driving him snow. So this is bright gold from just resin. It's a beautiful gold. I think I'm gonna add some rich gold shimmer as well. I just got a bunch of it in. So am I all-time favesy gold. And I don't have a lot of that left either, but it's fine. We're just gonna do multiple levels of gold with, I should have just poured it straight in here. In fact, I'm gonna do that. I do that when I get just the last little bit of a color out of a jar. But I think I have one more use in here. Anytime you use multiple tones of a color, it gives your piece depth. So just one gold would be a great two golds. They're a little bit more depthy, if you will. You drove all the way from Georgia to home in Mississippi to make this lab, what? Thank you, find it, fix it, flip it, work it. I'm so glad you're here. I hope your drive was awesome. We'll be driving from here to Alabama soonish. I'm gonna use some Milky Way or Shooting Star for some of a clear layer, which also adds depth and dimension. It looks kinda chunky when you first pour it out, but it melts in very beautifully. I'm gonna be able to see that through, but that's fine. My parents or my mom lives in Alabama, and so we're going home for Christmas. My sister will also be there with my tea-tiny baby niece, my little tea-tiny Alexi niece will be there. Can't wait to see her. Little nugget is so cute. My sister doesn't even know that she's basically gonna love me more than anybody else. So I haven't told my mom or my sister that, but they'll figure it out, they'll see. What's up, Melissa? How are you doing? You saw your grandbaby girl? Well, congrats on your grandbaby girl. I'm sure it was awesome to see. I am missing a this. It's fine. You are correct, Sue. We are great. Okay, so let's get started. I am going to put some of my one-inch fireglass in here if I can, aha, exacto blade. I'm gonna see if I can get it open, but I can't. You can find everything I'm using today on our website, artistilldeath.com. It always looks just like ice to me. Oh, we're gonna need a couple more. Cubes, as it were. Okay, and since this is going to be a gold and ruby geode, I'm just going to pre-sprinkle some of my gold glitter glass on here, but I'm gonna put more after I put some resin in the center so that the flakes will stick to the, something, the fireglass. I hope that this will come off. Red is notorious for staining. Do you ever come to Wisconsin and get a red? That's an area with any type of art gatherings. Von Page, I am down to come anywhere in art. We could do Wisconsin, but it'll have to be when the weather is a little bit warmer because my husband will instantly freeze. Unless he can snowboard, he'll instantly freeze in any temperature under 60. Susan, did you send that to 214 number or a 903 number? Okay, so I'm gonna take my Milky Way and I'm going to put it around the center and it's okay if some falls in because ultimately a lot's gonna end up falling into the center. I'm gonna try to kind of follow the shape of the board. So if it kind of comes down a little bit on one side, then I'm gonna bring the colors out in that side. I hope that makes sense because on the inside it made sense and then I said it and it didn't really make sense. So I'm not trying to follow the shape of the outside, but I'm kind of trying to stretch the resin in those areas because once you get all your rings out, if you have them all in the same thickness all the way around, then you're gonna end up running out of space to pour your resin on. So just try to make it a little bit similar and don't worry about any low points. Your resin's gonna self-level and fill in anyways. So the next one I'm gonna do is a 214 number. Was it the red phones phone number? Because we used to say that that number goes to the red phone. So this next gold, hey, Claire, how are you feeling? Is the rich gold shimmer? Whenever I lay my colors out, I never do the same thickness of lines because that's not natural. GOs are all kinds of shapes and thickness when it comes to all the lines. I would just cut the top of it off. Okay, well then just cut a new one. Shelly, if you could send me the picture to the, through the website. Like when you go on the website, it has like a chat box. I'll see it much quicker there. Thank you for all the links, Claire. You guys don't forget to subscribe if you haven't yet. So the next one we're gonna do, I think the pomegranate cherry blend. Doesn't blend sound so fancy. Not a mixture, it's a blend. I'm drinking a red wine blend tonight. Maybe that's why I feel like saying the word blend. I don't know. Francisco. In any case, love the color. Ooh, especially when it's thinned out like that and you could see it over the white. I'm not sure. I may swipe this one, but who knows? What do you guys think? You did, my sweet. Are there any molds for business card holders? I would be shocked if there weren't. I'm sure there are some on Amazon. I can check after the live and then put it in our Amazon link if you wish. All of my geodes end up having white or black. Actually any art piece that I do will have white or black. I feel like it just adds depth or a brightness to a piece. And I could be really wrong in that, but maybe not and I just love the way it looks. Whoops. And then that pink is spreading. May have to swipe this one since that pink just went rogue. Another reason why I run my finger through the colors is to thin it out. Because we have resin in the center first, every time I add resin, it's gonna push into where the resin already is. It's not gonna push out towards this dry area. It's gonna all push inside because that's where the resin's already been. That's where it wants to go to. So keep that in mind. I love this red, but dead gummet is getting everywhere. Dead gummet. Is there a red mica that won't turn pink when painted on a mold and white resin is poured over it? It's really in, I don't know of a red mica that isn't pink at all. I don't know if you could try one of the resin arts. Just like take a muddler and like ground them down into a finer powder. That may work. I would give that a shot, but to my knowledge in general, I don't know of a gold. Nope. Sorry, I'm pouring gold, so I thought gold. This is the just resin break gold. I don't know of a pure red mica that doesn't read as pink in some way. Also, I don't know if you can hear Bowie, but he says hi. He's apparently on a whole nother level. I think we're gonna end up swiping this one, but I am okay with that because when you swipe a geode, it kind of blends your lines a little bit. I guess I'm just gonna make this whole outside area gold. He's party of one right now in there. I know. He is telling me all about his day, I guess. What's up, Libby? You're not that late. He ran like one of the cats was chasing him, but no one was behind him. Every time I use this pomegranate, I'm like, why don't I use this more often? Jeff is making his famous guacamole sauce. I just got resin on my resin tumbler. Womp. Okay, so I'm gonna take my leftover this, which is the Milky Way mix that we did and pour it on my glitter glass. This is the one inch because I wanted it to stand up kind of high. Now it's time, now it's time to do the swipe. I'm gonna put some of this red down here because I put it up here without thinking about continuity. I'm just gonna do a little bit of that. Okay, clear some space for our super swipe. Why do I get so nervous when I do this? Doesn't make any sense. Okay, okay, wait, okay, go. We gotta heat it up first. Make sure we don't have anything that's gonna interrupt the flow. While I'm doing this, if you guys haven't subscribed, please do so. We're also on TikTok, where we do all of this plus a whole bunch of other stuff. Yeah, sometimes our TikTok is more like day in the life or like a backstage. All right, got our big swiping paper. Why do I get so nervous? Okay, so as I'm dragging my swiping paper, I'm gonna end up picking up more and more resin because the geo's gonna get bigger. So I have to mind my outside edge. And I always like to add some like scalloped looks. So it's not just straight lines. You can obviously swipe however you want to. Just make sure you take your time and keep your swiping paper as flat as possible so that you don't scrape off your everything. Nope, your resin. Y'all, words and me today are apparently not hanging out really well. All right. So I wanna add back in a line of this pomegranate. Pomegranate, why is it going all the way in here? You're messing up my flow. I just have to make sure that we cover that up with gold glass. So I'm just gonna add this dark red back into where it already was. We'll love it, cool. Thanks to you guys. I'm glad you like the look. I'm a fan. I think I wanna add the white back in as well. Just up here a bit. He's in the shop playing with that hanging toy. I'm just following the scallops that I put in. Let's see here. I feel like I wanna have another line of white up here. Keep in mind that at this point, every bit of color that we add is going to push the resin around in some form or fashion. Wait till you guys see it close what these cells look like. I can't wait to show you. The rich gold shimmer that I use does some crazy awesome things when it's swiped over. You can zoom in on your phone now. That's crazy awesome. I didn't even know you could do that. Okay, so now I went ahead and put some of the Milky Way mix right here. I'm gonna take my gold glitter glass and not quite filler up, but kind of filler up. I'm at least going to cover who I like how it looks when it's a little bit out in the like on this rim here. I'm gonna just keep on with that. Happy accidents. I wanna say party on the rim, but I feel like it's too early in the night to have. Anyways, I'm gonna pinch it. I feel like I have more control this way. So if you like this geodeshake cradle board, you can get it on our website along with all the colors I use today. Love and ad. Okay, I'm gonna bring you guys down and show you what this bad boy looks like. Oh, close. I see you, Vant. Okay, so look at these just subtle cells just from the rich gold shimmer. Rich gold shimmer cells on top of the resin like this. So the gold is selling as well as with things on top of it. So this pomegranate is on top over here. You can see a whole bunch of cells there as well. And over here, I don't even mean to get cells in this one, but I mean, resin's gonna resin. Look, these are like just on their own. These ones right here. I love it. And so this is the gold glitter glass. I wish you guys could see how like sparkly it is IRL, but what are you gonna do? So if you guys haven't ordered anything from our shop lately, just know that you can get a scratch off card with each purchase also. Look at my dime bracelet. Jen sent me, isn't it beautiful? So yeah, don't forget to order from our shop for every $100 that you order. You get a scratch off card and Stone Coat was nice enough to donate three one-gallon kits, a whole bunch of Micas. I have resin on there. There's so many prizes, 30% off coupons, so much more. So if you order something, it's gonna be great. I'm gonna get a scratch off card. Every card's a winner. You'll at least get a percent off on it. I just went on the outside. I was supposed to be on the inside, but that's fine. Nothing in nature is perfect. It's fine, it's fine. So I'm digging it. Let me know in the comments below what color you think I should do next time. I'm excited to know. And so yeah, I'll be back tomorrow for our two o'clock Tuesday live beads. If you haven't been to one, their whole bunch of fun. And they're two o'clock central on Tuesdays. Anyways, you guys have an awesome evening. I'm about to go see how Jeff's guacamole is coming along. And if you guys give this a shot, post it in our Facebook group, ATDs Poor People, so I can see what it looks like. Cause I love to see y'all's work. So yeah, oh, whatever, Susan. Our stuff is hardly perfect. You just have to talk about it like it is perfect. Own it. Yeah, yeah. Anyways, you guys have an awesome night. I gotta take my little bobo out. And so yeah, I hope you guys have an awesome evening and join us tomorrow. Be kind to one another cause you never know what someone's going through. And always remember, we do the test, but I don't have to. So I don't have to. Anyways, you guys, we'll see you guys next time. Bye. Bye.
