 Y'all let me know if you can or cannot hear us because I don't have our mics hooked up to that currently right now in this moment. So let me know how the vocals are other than the fact that I sound like I've been dancing in the rain for a month. So does the sound sound okay? Sound sound sweet. You can hear me. I'm gonna dig. So we're back from our trip where let me just tell you before we got on the show of the ship. We stayed at a hotel in the port, left all our bags in the car, and I was attacked by bed critters. I don't even want to say the words, if you guys could only see how bad it is. And then I lost one of my rings on the ship, but a cute little girl was nice enough to find it for me, and then the ship overcharged me by many zeros. So we're getting back in the swingy things, and I'm starting to, I got inventory in while we were gone. I just put color passion in the system today. I'm so excited because we have a new color. Cold vivid magenta, vivid magenta, it looks like this. It's a very watermelon-y color, and I was like, this looks perfect to put on this lip piece that I've been wanting to do. The person is a little lighter, but it looks really good. It's a really good pink. This will definitely go a lot quicker. Oh, let's not get the humans involved here. No, the humans should not be discussed. And so we're gonna art today, and on this art, we have just an MDF cutout of this lip piece that I had painted, and I was gonna put, like, neons behind it, but I've decided. St. Barth Caribbean, I want to go, what's up, TG? Oh, and the last thing is, I apparently caught a cold on the way back. So that's exciting. But anyways, today we're gonna art, and I'm so excited because I'm gonna use a brand new color that we just got in called Vivid Magnetta, or Super Poppy Watermelon. But I'm not naming that stuff. I'm just artin' with it. And so today I'm going to be using our Ace Resin Stone Coat Countertops Art Coat. It's a favorite thing to work with for anything other than oceans because it gives me a really long working time. There's no smell to it unless you scorch it, which is on you. Gotta be careful with that heat. And it's heat-resistant up to 500 degrees Fahrenheit. It's scratch-resistant, UV-resistant, all awesome things you really need in a resin. It was in that. I can't smell today anyways. And I'm not mic'd because I don't want to sniffle all up in your ears too many times. So, without further ado... Oh, another thing. My this. My Resin Mixer stand is finally available on Amazon. If you want to get your own Isoyo mixer, they did not pay me to say this, but they did send me one to review. If you've been watching my channel for about a month, I use it every time I mix resin. And now you can get your own on Amazon. I have it linked down in the description box below this video. It's not a direct link. If you just click my Amazon link down there, it should pop up. A little stirrer is draining over there. I do believe they come separate though. I have no idea. So, we're going to get started on our team. I think they're all separate. I think they're all separate. I haven't purchased one myself, so I have no idea. Do I color match that pretty well? Even though I'm going to mess up it. You guys, I've spent so many hours researching the case that I'm going to give you guys on my Crime and Craft Wednesday. I can't even tell you guys how excited I am. Jeff's probably really over it because I've been just talking to him about all of that. You saw my notes? My first note. My first one. Were you like, what is she doing now? Is she planning my murder? I don't know because a lot of my crime things that I do watch on YouTube, say the M word. Unaliving. No, the other one. The unalive one. Okay. So, to paint with resin, I wouldn't use a paintbrush. I would just use a thick viscosity resin. And that is because you're going to want to put lines down that you don't want moved. I imagine because that's why you would be painting with resin instead of just pouring with resin. And so my tip for you is to use very minimal heat and to use a thicker viscosity resin. A lot of people thin out their resin by giving it a hot water bath before using it. You can go wild and crazy and give your resin a cooler water bath before you use it in order to thicken it up and give it a thicker viscosity. So I started with a dusty pink. It was a great color match choice. I'll move it around. Another key thing when working with resin that you want to stay where it is. It's going to dome. And so what you're going to want to do, you may want to zoom in on a part of this beam, is I'm going to be taking the resin up to an edge. And I'm not trying to fill it. Essentially, yes. So just be advised that wherever it is that you put the resin, it's going to go back even if you wipe it off and give it a clean line. Even if you wipe it off with an alcohol rag, it's going to roll back into that area. So where you want to make sure you take as much time as you can is putting your lines down where you want them. If I wanted to, which I probably could even at this point, if I wanted to give this dark pink outline, I would just put it only in those areas. But the thing is your resin is going to want to travel. Once I mix everything together, it's going to come in a little bit. For me, for this piece, that's fine. But if you wanted to have an outline that isn't incorporated into the rest of your piece, I would recommend doing the line first. Your lip liner, if you will, on this piece. And then worrying about filling it in. Yeah, I'm not worried about that dark outline. Yeah, definitely. If you're trying to make something look like something specific, you're going to need to take your time. I'm travelers, those Australians. So I've done one lip piece before, and I really enjoyed doing it. Actually turned out how I wanted it to. And it actually, actually sold recently. So I figured why not give it another shot. This one looks a little bit different. And how I'm going to do this one a little bit differently is I'm going to try to kind of darken the outer areas to give kind of a shading to the lip shape. I don't know if it's going to really play that way, but we'll find out together. And also painting with resin in this style, you kind of have to trust the process a little bit. You can't just look at it how it is, for example, in this moment right now and feel it and not feel it and then decide to either proceed or not proceed. Because if you were to walk in on any of the great artists in the beginning of their art painting process and look at it, it would not look anything like the end result. Yeah, I'm really, the process is it takes certain techniques and obviously you don't see it, but I'm thinking, oh my God. I'm not a fan of people watching my painting. The guy that has commissioned that Monroe over there is like, hey, how's it going? And I'm like, nope. You may not understand my process. And so if I showed you a picture of the current state that the piece is in may get cold feet, cold shoulder, cold anything. And so I reserve the right to give only close ups of my artwork as a status check progress report, which I'll probably finish the face on that tonight. Just like black of color and then I'll send an update. So making sure that you take your time to not go over your lines is probably the most time consuming part of this. But once that's done, you can kind of just go crazy with the rest of it. And I'm almost done with the time consuming part so I can get crazy with you guys. Listen, it's not sloppy. It's the process. I think I'm going to swipe some of it too, though. I brought some swiping papers and some white. I'm just testing my swipe theory right here. So I'm just going to go like this. Oh yeah, it's been a minute. Okay, so I always tell people make sure that you have filled in all the blank areas before you swipe. Which is why. Because your swipe isn't going to pull your paint into the voided parts. It's just going to jump over them. So before we proceed, I need to go through and make sure I have no raw area. And that can be done with like a skim coat as well. But just be advised that you don't want to do too much of that. Because your surface is going to self level down to an eighth inch. And anything beyond that is going to run off. And so just take your time on this part to make sure that you have everything filled in. So that you're not wasting time or swipe paper. I want to use a little heat as possible overall on the piece. I feel like that's much would look really cool on this. But also I don't have another. You always love the balloons. Just a little boops, boops, boop, boop, boop. Looks like a little bit of a massacre in this moment. But trust the process. I have a lot of working time. No, it doesn't be. She's going to be beautiful. You just don't understand. I mean, you do, but also I'm trying to swipe kind of at an angle so I can pick up bits of the white. So I can give that curvature, but it won't be solid white. So I picked up some pink, some white and some of the new vivid magenta. And so I want to have these lips lines like this. That's why all this crazy application doesn't really matter. Because all I'm going to do is swipe up and down to give the curvature, to give the lips some definition, to give it shape. I'm going to use directional swipes. Like so. I am. Yeah. But remember that when you come into the center of a lip that you're not going to have like, don't, don't, don't, don't. At the center, you're going to have to come to straight and then dome in the opposite direction, going the opposite way. So when you paint something that's supposed to look like something specific, that those are things that you have to kind of think about and take your time. And once I get this, how I like it, I'm going to swipe up from the bottom. So I'm not really concerned about any of these gaps right here. I'm concerned with like two thirds. I'm using a new swiping paper every time. You don't have to. It's just personal preff. And now that I'm on the other side of this lip, I can go back to the curvature as I'm swiping around. I'm adding the whites kind of like a glossy highlight. You know, when you have lip gloss and so there's the glossy highlight. Great. Swipe too soon. Don't have to fix that. I also have some gold interference. I wasn't sure if I wanted to incorporate that in. What do you guys think? A little bit of shimmery pop. And as you go around, your resin is going to self level and do things. You may get some cells pop up. You never know what it's going to do, honestly. So don't get really fixated on any one part until you're further along and you've let it kind of set a little bit. Do you want to do anything? Yeah. But definitely be mindful of how much resin you have on your piece. If you want it to kind of stick to itself, then don't put too much because it may lead over into other areas. For example, I don't want any resin going up into my teeth. It wouldn't taste good for my model here. Having tasted resin many a times on accident, I can attest to the fact that just don't. Not going to be a fun time for anyone. All right. I think now I'm going to finish up this end. One of my favorite things about the swipe is how versatile it is. You don't have to really have anything cute happening. And then you can swipe through it. It's like, uh-oh. You can get down with that look. This is the most successful way I found to paint a highlight on a lip without asking my husband to do it for me. Like in terms of doing it myself, not happening. Not happening because reasons. Okay. I'm going to try putting just a little bit of this interference gold over here. Just see if we like it and then you guys let me know if we like it. I feel like a lot of lip glosses have that little shimmy shim highlight. I can see it over here. We have to tie this in a little bit better. Maybe do a little bit of a dip swipe, like a highlight. We have a little bit of the gold here. I'm just going to try not to mess myself up by adding just a little, a swoopy swipe of color. And by color I mean just the gold. I don't want to mess up the everything that we've already done. So I'm going to take the highlight and put it through the parts that I don't like anyways. Like these like gaps where I kind of swiped a little bit too fast. Maybe like right here. The only thing is it's a one swipe situation because once color is on your swiping paper, that's going to be what presents. So I think it looks good. I think on the top of it I may incorporate it from the jump though. So I'll have to go back in and try to figure out where I want it. Just filling in the low bits that I neglected. Cool. Perfect. Love it. And we're just going to swipe up from here. And we'll see what it looks like when we have just a little bit of the shimmer through the center. If we don't like it, I'll just take it off and we will regroup. Start over with that part. Yeah. Yep. Okay. She had a great time getting dirty though. All right. Just like on the lower lip, I'm going to do a curve. That's supposed to mimic the shape of a lip. So it's supposed to. Beauty. How are you? I don't know if you can really see it. And they just have to be one of those things I add. I can't even see it. Oh, I think I can see it right here, but I'm not sure. Just a little hints. Okay. I put it on when I swiped it that time. Definitely going to just dip swipe it from here with those. Just put a little bit on my swipe paper. It's a little something. Something for the little guys. I'm not paying attention to my lip shape. I'm loving it. Very Valentine's-y, but I feel like I can make the argument that it could also be Halloween-y. So Randy, what I'm doing is not putting it there. That's true. I just domed it up to the edge. And as long as you keep the amount of resin on your surface under an eighth ounce across the whole thing, then you should not run into it. Just make sure not to thin your resin out too much as you're going. When I add heat, it will be very, very, very minimal. I feel like I've lost the highlight going through it other than what I put on my swiping paper. So I'm just going to add to the swiping paper from here on so that the highlight is more obvious and will present all the way through the lip. Yeah, what did I say? Oh, I'm on copious amounts of daycloth at the moment. So if I said something wild, I'm sorry. Don't judge me. All right. Remember in the center of the lip not to get too crazy because you've got to account for it changing direction. So we're going to get a little bit straight and then start curving into the other direction unless you're at some weird angle or you got too much plump in your lips that it doesn't look right anymore. I'll tell you whatever you want me to tutor. We love tutors. Also, I went to the dog park today and everybody said that their dog's favorite person is now a tutor. Little thump thump. Lip liner. More white. I think a lot of that is also the fact that I wasn't putting my paper down through all the colors. I was kind of just picking up the... So once I pick up all the colors, it's more of a striated and a little pressure right there and I scooped too much. So just know that that can happen. You're right. The bottom lip has way more white in that. But I added more white up here. I'm not sure what I could do different other than be sure that I'm landing my paper and the white and the pink and the dusty. I know. I couldn't see. I just kind of had to go with it. Okay. So now we're coming to the end of the side of the mouth. And I'm going to go below my nose and we'll hit it with some heat. I'm 110 to 130% sure I just got resin on my face. In my head, I'm thinking I need to add some darker. So I'm going to add some of the new vivid magenta to this outside edge. Some white. I don't have any more of the softer pink, but some of this darker pink. We're going to see if I can create a better look. I would recommend when you swipe to pull toward yourself. And the reason is because if I were to swipe to here, 1000%, I would end up getting resin into my, I don't want resin right here area. You're comfortable and you're not in an awkward position and don't be like just do it. I am going to trail off though towards my point. And what I mean by trail off is I'm going to swipe down like this, all horizontal. And as I do, I'm going to pick up everything but one of the corners so that I can create a seamless point. So I'll show you why this is not going to be cute. It's just going to be for demo purposes. So if I were to just swipe and stop, I'm going to have this area, which is fixable. I mean, you just have to do some finagling. You just have to finagle. It's just easier if you bring it to a point and trail off your design as opposed to hard stopping. Down there is readable, always making sure to follow whatever shape lines that you have going on. For me, it's very domed because lip. Oh my God, I just blew fire. I thought I just caught my house on fire. I wasn't prepared. Cool. So you don't want to put too much heat because when you do, you're going to thin out your resin and it's going to be more likely to run and move and mess your lines up. So I'm strictly popping bubbles and making sure I have no floaters. This is not for any aesthetic look, no design element. Just to make sure of whatever that is. And a little thumb right here. A little low spot right here. I'm going to just swipe through that. I am using a handy dandy stir stick from artistilldebt.com, which happens to be me. It's a handy point on the end of it. So if you need to just be specific about where you're doing things, point. And when I want to just mix my resin, I use this end. I don't know if you guys know this, but popsicle sticks are porous and that can mix bubbles into your resin. If you're doing a flat out piece like this, that's not going to really bother you too much. But when you're doing things in molds, you're going to need a little bit more control on your bubbles. Because once you have deep set bubbles, it's really hard to get them out. Just following along this line. We only see 16 thumbs up, which would be nice if we could get 30 thumbs ups. Thumbs up. I am trying to wipe off my stir stick after each use so that the transparent color were contaminating my cup of resin with other colors of resin. Namin, dilipines. This works. Because I can load up a good amount of resin on my stir stick. Then as I'm moving it and depositing it, it's just blowing down my stick. Top left square paper image. I can run longer lines this way. I don't understand what top left square paper image. That blunt mark. I'll get that. Thanks for looking out, TG. And then we'll probably airbrush on this. So a lot of that doesn't even matter. You got some cells. Which is kind of... Oh, look at that. What is that? That pink. Which pink? Look at that. That one is this one. Oh, man. Y'all, if you guys haven't used this, this is some of my favorite pigments. Every color looks amazing in resin and this stuff. You cannot wait to talk to you guys about the case. It's like all that's on my brain. And another thing. I know it's all stuff I want to talk to you guys about during the premiere. They're sold separately, the stand in the mixer. They are sold separately. It's a little crazy, right? Well, maybe some people don't want the convenience of not having to hold your personally. I like being able to just do whatever I need to do and have some free hands. Man's free. Okay, so I have to go get a sippy sippy while I'm mixing my resin or if I'm picking colors while my resin's mixing. It's more convenient for me that way, but I mean, you never know. What works for some may not work for others. And since resin self-levels, all this will kind of just push back in. But it will leave that score of the dark pink. You can see it in the light that there's actual... Burnout. Yeah, but it'll go back in. It'll cover itself back up. It'll be really nice. I was trying to see if I wanted to try to... That looks good. Just mix that in a little bit. It's not as easy to work with. Broadside. Just mixing in. Okay. I can't always swipe it back. It took off a lot of paint. Looks like I'll leave that. Very nice, very nice. I think I'm okay with how she looks overall because I know that Jeff's going to go through and add airbrush. So now I have some resin left over. Roasters. Here they are. She went to go pick up some coasters. While she's doing that, I will... Make some room. If you all are interested in the colors, I will put them right here and do a little flyover. That very shimmery pink. It's called Pretty in Pink Resinart on our website. That really poppy watermelon pink is Vivit Magenta by Color Passion. And we got the white is just the Passion Top Cell white. The dusky pink is a dusky pink. And then that really pretty gold stuff that you all saw were put on there as interference gold. And just mix that in with some clear resin and you're good. Make some magic. Are you going to smush them? I'm going to smush them. That's going to look good if you put some of that fizzle in there. The gold fizzle. I found that of smush coasters. I wish I could be better about that look on a larger scale. But it doesn't work that way. I start here and see what we can do. You don't want to put any of that. Too late. Can you see that gold interference? Yeah, that's so fun. I'm just going to line these up here. His hands are about to get crazy messy. Look at that. I think I only have three of this Pretty in Pink color in stock. If I run out of it and you guys are interested, you can stop soon. But Puppy Love is a close second. Puppy Love is a color? There's Puppy Love Pretty in Pink and And that is from Resin Art. I wish I mixed up a straight up gold as well. Yeah. But I think the biggest smush we attempted to do was a 12 inch by 12 inch and it did not look as cute as the coasters. So I used a shimmer on one side the Pretty in Pink and then just a vetted magenta on the other. It looks like I have created a heart. And I think I don't want to hit it with heat because I'll get this thing all kind of crazy. So I'll wipe my hands off after and down. I haven't done that many like this where it's a completely different color on one side than the other. So if I do pink on one and then white on one and smush them, see what happens. Transfer of color Yes. I hope you all had an awesome wink. What did I miss? It's a lot. I feel like I always miss something when we go out of town. How awesome does that color lay out? It's solid. It's very nice color. Rotate, pull apart and it's going to be amazing. Yeah, that's fun. I like them. It looks a lot like those roses that have like the white and pink accent. What I suggest if you guys get these from us, the MDF coasters if you can see the resin will not go where the resin has not been if there's not a lot. What I recommend is when you put these out make sure you tap all the sides all the way around so that it looks cohesive and you have a nice little edge. Because if not, sometimes the resin will kind of go back withdrawal and then you'll have these really rough sides then you'll have to sand them and then you'll have to paint them which is not a bad thing but if you want to stay away from sanding which we really prefer to do just hit the sides and if you've put too much on and you go and you check on them maybe 30 minutes, 45 minutes later and you see some bubbles hit them with the heat if you notice there's some that's coming off like it's running down just move it just kind of out of the way of itself there and then that should take care of a big drip like a little offload of the resin we got 45 people in here if you guys just joined us she finished painting this lip using the swipe technique basically put some interference gold in there just kind of look right down on it very nice subtle to where you can't really see it back here but it is there oh she's going cray-cray not too crazy there's a little white on here it's a little dip swipe I don't know where I'm going to go with it but done I'm going to head with some heat this one I think I'm going to try to use the blower it's in the wrong end sorry for all the movement y'all I'm just trying to set this little blower up for her alright so as I put these up oh look at that that looks so good Julie we do classes all the time you can do one on one you can set up a class for multiple people parties yes swipe classes I mean Skype classes swipe classes you can do swipe classes we did that all through Australia we did swipe and no one to stop got away from me a little bit a little bit I just love that this color and this color are almost the same but you can tell they're not because one of them is like a super shiny they look good together not in a shimmer this is what I was talking about coming off and just moving it I remember moving this butterfly but this is one of our peel ones these are our acrylic look how good that looks that's all peeled off let me tell you this before I put it in oh yeah very nice hold on which is these are done you guys want to see some peeling off ones I've been wanting to do this let me I'm just trying to make room as well some of these did not turn out well it also reminds me of one of those like Werther's cream that looks awesome hard candies that looks amazing black and gold y'all that looks so good where will y'all be pending your oh posting your gorgeous works where will we be posting our works I think is what she meant to say I think it's Julie that's asking those are so fun where will you next be peddling your work so I have a lot of work listed on our website artistildeth.com we'll have there's a video up now of what we have left over from the fall art can't go wrong with it very nice got some coasters in the making look how good that looks y'all with our see-through coasters acrylic coasters y'all no cleanup look how pretty these are you can hang them from your window and like in a kitchen window very nice these need a little bit of cleanup a little wiping down but we'll be alright there's nothing on this so interested so interested are you that's nice I'll just leave that that looks great wanna add just one more by Sue and Judy we need to stop that forgot I was making a timelapse you guys wanna see the timelapse I need to do this last one okay look what's going just talking this could be a whole painting never underestimate the power just a little simple swipe and then add a little something to it looks good liquidate it up I love it look at that y'all it's so simple and when you put that so you put that line down you put that line of pretty pretty in pink and then when you pushed it you literally made petals of fire with just that and see there's the the vivid magenta look at that look how good that looks right and that white I have this one thing this one I'm not sure yeah you need to wrap this up let's see what I can do with the last coaster and then I'm gonna blow my nose for 42 minutes I hope you guys tune in for my crime and crafts coming up this Wednesday where I will tell you now a crazy crazy girl this time who got married to a gentleman put a head out on him and cops the TV show was there to catch it all on tape and so there's so much footage I'm so excited to show too just cut my nose off yeah it's so mmhmm mmhmm so let's hit it with some heat and then I'm just gonna do like a circular swipe also for me you guys don't torch stuff in your hands cause I don't want you to burn yourself the geodes wipe is an improvement of what it was before I don't remember how we did the ocean pour which ocean pour somebody left a comment we'll see you later Sue thanks for joining Donna Parker loves the lips tg is leaving bye tg that looks good I like it's fun I think it's an improvement of where she was yeah alright you guys so tune in tomorrow where we'll be going live at 2 o'clock central here on our channel I don't know what we're gonna be doing probably gonna be working on this piece so wrap it up and I hope you enjoyed it we use where vivid magenta from color passion pretty in pink from resin art interference gold from resin art passion top-cell white from color passion and dusty pink from color passion all of which are currently in this moment haven't stopped so if you want them check it out artisttollbeth.com all of my reusable stir sticks and if you want the stir and the blower that we use and the stir stand you get it from our Amazon link down in the description box below the video sorry for the sniffles and I'll see you guys she came in like a wrecking ball she did I'll see you guys tomorrow until then be kind to one another what is tomorrow? 2 o'clock Tuesday central but I gotta go blow my nose so we kind of want another cause you never know what someone's going through and I always remember we do the test so you don't have to I said bye
