 I know it's a little early, but it is what it is. We have to do a dinner for a friend of ours tonight, so we won't be able to do our regularly scheduled videos. Hi, Mel. They're the cutest one. You are so precious. Hey Amber, what are you doing? Such a good boy. So since we can't film tonight, we're going to go ahead and do it now because we don't want to miss out on y'all. Also, if you haven't seen the video of this piece, hi Anthony, I wish it was in better light, but we love her. Hi Mary, hi Paula. So today we're using royal purple, fuchsia, and copper. Cannot remember who made this copper. Hi Lori. It was in a, it was just in like a jar, so I don't know. Happy 420, Tammy, hi Sam. Good afternoon, Belinda. I'm going to have to check with Judy about who made this copper. She told me like 17 times, I'm pretty sure, and I can't remember. These are both by Artisiu, and this is a sample kit sent to us by Torganol, I think. What's up Lou? And they sent me a sample kit with like a little bit of everything and we're going to be using the fuchsia out of this kit. Also, because I'm going to be breaking into geodes, they sent me all of these like flakes and Micas and like just stacks of them. I'm going to test them for my geode. Like, I don't know what else to do with this other than geode. I think these are for flooring, but we'll see. Really like these. They're broken in like shards and they're so metallic. So yeah, geode stuff, let's put this away. I know I commented on something they posted somewhere and they said that they would, if you go to their website, they have like all of the different stuff that you would put in flooring, including glitter and Micas. And if you request some, they'll send it to you. So I did and then they sent me everything, all the things. And like this was full of like pamphlets of how to use it. Anyways, this is the company. I'm not getting paid anything to give them a shout. They just sent me all the things because I asked. Never know unless you ask. Amber wants to know how you like our resin. I love it. I really do. I was just really impressed with the working time. Working with such a big piece, you kind of lose track of time and you're messing with it. It gets a little crazy and hectic at times and then it starts to set up and then you really start getting desperate and you start doing stuff you really don't want to. And I loved it. I mean, it came out amazing. You could, I mean, I know you just showed them but just how amazing like glass, it's like a mirror. I did expect it to be softer today since everybody was like, it takes days to cure. You can still put your finger. Yeah, you can still put your nail in it, but. I don't care. I would rather just sit and care and be amazing. I'm loving it. Tammy says she was really hoping we would say we didn't like it because now she's gonna have to buy it. I was hoping the same thing. I was like, please be just horrible so that I'm not gonna have to break the bank on buying it. Honestly, Pro Marine is very similar to it in terms of smell and workability. And I haven't seen a UV test on Pro Marine yet though. Maybe someone will link that for me somewhere. Tammy, thank you so much. We got a tip. We weren't sure if we wanted to do it on gold or black with these colors. What do you guys think? Oh, these are the coasters that we ended up doing at the end of the video with the leftovers. This one. What, this one? Both of these, yeah. We have a set of four. I think we have a set of seven. We do. Paul, thank you so much. It looks like a C fan to me. I don't know if you guys see what I see or a C sponge. Anyways, we still have to finish up. Tammy, thank you. Y'all make my heart happy. We still have to finish the back of these like we did this one. Do you have to prep the coasters? We do not prep them. It's almost impossible to prep them because they're glazed over with ceramic. Yeah, they are ceramic glazed, but you can, if you're worried about it, I would just use, do we have some of that here? The bonding primer? Yeah, we use bonding primer when we're not sure what we're gonna pour on if it'll stick. If I have any questions ever, we'll seal it first with bonding primer. If we're working on wood, we use polycrylic to seal in the wood on top and bottom and all the sides, and then use the bonding primer. That's just our process. Hey y'all, my biggest problem is pigments. I simply know too little and the ones you use is not allowed in Denmark. Eric, I'll see what I can find out about paints in Denmark. I wanna say that Artisiu maybe goes to Denmark. Let me double check. I don't wanna say things that aren't actual fact. Hey Robbie, so let's see. I think both. I think we got one vote for black and the rest on gold and a couple for both. What's up, Greg? Did you see how that piece turned out? Greg Grindstaff was the person that created that board for us. If he goes into making them for real, it'll be amazing because he sells them at a reasonable price. B, do you want me to get you something to measure resin or something? I'm making a cup so that I know how much to do. I'm making a stick. I made this stick so I know that hardener and resner. Actually what I'm talking about people to a friend of mine right now while you're getting info from her is we wanna make our own stir sticks that you can keep. You can lay out, they can dry and you can just peel off the resin. Thank you, Lori. Make them plastic with a, like almost to a pointed tip so you can take the gold and do designs in something, who knows, and then make this side flat so that it gets down in the corners of the cups and stuff. So that's what I'm talking to a friend about right now. And we wanna make them out of plastic so that the resin doesn't stick. You can reuse them. We're making goodies for you guys. What color is acrylic? Yeah, acrylic is. I don't know, but we should talk about it later because people are on a lunch break and stuff. Let's do it. What do you want me to do? I'm gonna turn the camera on. This is the level that we want. Sweet. Sorry, guys. Jeff has his own eScience way of figuring out how much resin to put into a cup that doesn't have like hash marks. It's not eScience, it's eScience. It can't be tScience. It can't be tScience. There's only one option. Well, ask them. Do you guys wanna do it on gold or black today? I already told you the answer. I didn't hear you. Everybody except for one said gold and the other half of everybody said both. Jeffrey Harp asks, what's the best resin to use? Well, we just used our resin last night and I loved it. There was no smell in the little flying bubbles like some other, other resins. The working time was a lot longer. So. It was really smooth. The drying looks amazing. Yeah. So we drank the Kool-Aid and now he's an Art Resin fan. We got this from a friend of ours. Yep. Judy helped us out. Judy said, take this, use it, and see what you think. And so, this is what I think. I wanna use it from now on. Why doesn't Jeff like measuring cups? Because I needed this size. I wanna use that to take out the size. When we use larger quantities, we'll use these measured out cups. But when we're working with smaller quantities, it's just easier and more feasible to use this. That way, not as much gets wasted getting poured out on the sides. It's easier to mix. It's true. You can also buy plastic garden plant labels for plastic stir sticks. That's where we got the idea from, but we wanna make the opposite edge flat like this so that it can get really into the corners of whatever your mixing cup is. Okay. To a point. But not that pointy. We'll just do it like a rounded point so you can put gold in there and do little filigree stuff and do little designs or pick stuff out. But you're right. Plastic garden label sticks are good. But we wanna make them just slightly longer too. I like art resin just not the price. Agreed. Have you tried wall epoxy yet? I have a non-flat project I wanna do. What do you think? A non-wall epoxy. I've just saw, I've seen that guy. Stone coat? Stone coat, use it. And it looked like it was sticking, but it just, I'd have to try in person to give any kind of. Review on it. Review on it, yeah. Let's see. But Karen, we're, I'm speaking with Stone Coat now about trying some of their stuff for the channel so I'll let you know what they say. Have you guys tried pro-marine? We have. I have some warming in the window just over there. I like pro-marine. What did we use with that? We used it on a few different pieces. The price is very much more reasonable than art resin. It is, that was one thing. And from what I read, the active ingredients are similar to art resin, but I haven't seen a test on how it yellows if it yellows. There wasn't that bad of a smell and the working time was pretty good too. What son? What? I think he wants a present, but he's gonna have to wait. I'm afraid to drink the art resin Kool-Aid this way I don't know what I'm missing. Can't miss what you don't have. I know, I almost wish we had refrained, but it's too late now. I'd be too late. Hi Tamara. Yeah, we're thinking about doing some midnight pours next week. That way our friends overseas can watch and they don't have to stay up to like 3 a.m. To do it. So we'll keep you all posted on our alternative times. I bought silicone liquid measuring cups at Dollar Tree. Resin peels right out, they hold two cups. I'll have to look into that. When did you guys do the piece behind you? The large one? That's Bertha. I did her a while back and she's just been in our living room because I've been putting off resining her because it's gonna take at least 32 ounces. I did a smaller one that I'm letting set and I'll have a video on it posted soon. I did one layer and I got a fish eye. So be on the lookout for that one. Amy says she tried stone coat resin and she feels like it's thinner and runnier and might have a low viscosity. I think I read that somewhere as well. Karen says she learned everything from us and she bought stuff that we recommended and also she's in Washington state. Let us know if you have any questions. We'd love to help. Thank you for the info. Lori says that pro-marine is designed to resist yellowing caused by the sun and other UV light sources. And she found that on their website. Morning Robin. Greg says Michael says 50% off coupon today. Now this might turn a different color gold. We've had it do it before with another gold that we use. We haven't used this gold yet. No. The peacock piece we have priced at 500 right now. Leah, I will post how we did Bertha. I've meant to have it up by now but I have to do another resin coat on her. She fish-eyed. Do you guys use silicone in every piece? We haven't used silicone in any pieces actually. When you use silicone, you're at higher risk of getting like a fisheye reaction and then when that happens, you have to clean it up and do a top coat and it's just pain. I'm glad you like. It doesn't do it. I'm glad you like the Mayron, y'all. It doesn't. Oh my gosh. The other paint that we use, the Montana gold, that we love to paint on canvas is like for my backgrounds, for my fine art. If you spray it on here and then you put resin on it, it turns into like this really weird dark gold like it stains it or something. And I was really disappointed. But this looks like gold resin. I know, it looks really good. It looks great. It's still shiny. I was expecting it to go a little bit dull. What about alcohol? I want to try it. You can make a couple drops of alcohol into your resin and it will give you some different effects. A lot of people use it to get cells. I wouldn't recommend using that much because it really thins out your resin and we'll try it this weekend and post a video on it. A fisheye is when, while he was just letting that. So I don't know if you guys can see this part right here where it looks like raw canvas because it is. That is where the resin like just parts from the canvas and it leaves a raw spot. That's caused by a number of different things. I could have touched it with oil on my fingers. The glitter? Yes. Something could have fallen on it and left a spot. It could have been the glue I used to get the gold leaf to stick. And if you use silicone and a piece, then you're more than likely gonna get at least one fisheye. This dark purple, very dark. The spray paint that you used for this one was what? Rustilium. Oh, it's our favorite, rustilium gold. I'll link it after we post. Monet's our pleasure to post what we know. How do you guys use canvas without it dipping in the middle? The secret is to prep the canvas a few times before you paint on it. I have a video of how we do it, but basically we just have the canvas and then sand it down and then hit it with a heat gun. And then we do that process a couple of times and it'll tighten the canvas. And when it's tighter, it's less likely to dip in the middle. Have you guys tried Amsterdam acrylic spray cans? I picked up a can of gold yesterday. I didn't know Amsterdam had sprays. Now I know, look. The secret of pouring. Let us know how you like that Amsterdam. Like just letting it run slowly. You don't get those ugly single. What? You know when you tilt it and it goes into, like it's starting to do that there. If you just barely tilt it, you can just kind of get it a level. Will you guys do a tutorial on how you ship your artwork? Next time we have to box one up, I'll definitely do a video for you guys. Hi, Helen. How much is, oh, how much are you charging for last night's painting? I thought you messaged Barb back on Facebook. Good. We have 500 on her right now. She's up on the wall, being gorgeous. I figured that purple would be a little bit more purpley. Yeah. I think Barb, he messaged you on Facebook. If you messaged him, he answered. Jackie said this is gonna be so nice. I feel it in my bones. Have you ever tried MasterCast? We haven't, someone once told me that it's hard to get in the States. I don't know about that. I haven't checked it personally, but I've heard a lot of good things about MasterCast. That looks fun. Have you all ever used Liquitex spray paints? I have not. We haven't, it's really pricey and we always get good results with our regular spray paint, Montana and sometimes Rustoleum. But maybe we should try it, just to see. Have you tried any of the ghost pigments from Black Diamond? We're actually, I have some coming from one of you guys are sending us some Black Diamond to try out. So I'm excited to see how those work because I've heard so many good things. Jackie said I hope MasterCast is good because I got three kilos today and I'm now eating beans for a month. I know the struggle of spending a lot on resin. I'm not liking that purple, that dark purple. Amber, would you like to be a moderator? Tamara says MasterCast is awesome and she used it in 90% of her work. I'll have to look into it. Look, and why is it like, it's like it's separating all this, whatever this is. And that purple isn't what I thought it was. Maybe you just have to mix them all. Maybe. Because it's like, it's very metallic but you just can't see it. Yeah, I thought it would be more metallic. This copper's looking really gold. It's really strange. It looks like gold. Yeah, it doesn't look copper at all. It's weird that this copper and this copper are laying so differently. Jan said she is expecting her first order from Lores today. That's awesome. You're gonna love those pigments. It's like, when you get them, it's like, I should have ordered more. I saw someone's post today on the Fluid Group and she ordered like all the colors. It looks like a smiley face from here. I wish I would have just, almost would have poured on it like this and then just keep pouring in this way and tilt it like just at an angle so that it all looks like this. Do you want it all to look like that? All of it to look like that part. I love that stuff. Do you guys know where to find big round wood panels? We've gotten them at Home Depot. They're about an inch thick though. Ron Ray says he loves it. Yeah, Tamara, feel free to put your Instagram on here. I'd love to check it out. Do you order Lores from Susan? What are the prices? Yeah, I order them through Susanna Danks. She has a website, I'll link it. Well, I've linked it in the last few videos but I'll add it in this one too. If you're in the States, it's best to, you have to use the code Laura so that shipping won't be crazy expensive. Your Home Depot said they never heard of it. All right, hold on till the end of this and I'll show you what they look like. Actually, I have one right there, but I'll wait. You'll love pouring. We tried it just to see if we could do it one time and we've been pouring for now eight months. That's true. Your Home Depot is 24 inch but no bigger. I think the large one we have is about 40 something inches. I want to say 40 or maybe 36. Lori says she found the rounds at Lowe's. Welcome, Menu. I think he's just too much going on. Thanks, John. A lot of people like, a lot of people like it. I think the fuchsia and the parans looks good together. All right, Wally's figuring out his next move. This is one of the rounds that we've poured on. This is how thick they are. I can't remember if they're birch. But the biggest one we have is in the 40 inches. Maybe they do sell them as tabletops, so I know they're there and possibly was. Are you put it done? Are you done with it? But it's in their setting. What else? Oh, maybe it is pine. Faith, it's hard to say how much resin you would use for a piece. There's a calculator on Art Resin's website, but it always overestimates for us. We always have leftovers. So I wish I could tell you an exact science for it, but I got nothing. We just estimated and if we have extras, we make coasters like we're doing right now. Robin says she has ordered from Susanna three days ago and can't wait. She's been looking into different resins, don't know which one to choose. I mean. What's on the Dallas today? Oh, the Dallas. This is what the Dallas looks like today. It's gorgeous day. Enviro-Tex is a good one to start with. That's the one I started with. Pro-Marine you'll probably have to order, but it's also a good one. That's the smell that I was smelling last night. Yeah. How do you guys hang the round piece? We don't. We sell them as trays or the tops of Lazy Susan's or Ottoman trays. We don't hang the rounds. They're really heavy and I wouldn't even know where to begin. You would just put an eyelet on the back if you put two eyelets on there that's a little hinge kind that you can hang on the wall. John said, do you ever call a piece him? All these pieces are female, just saying. I've always just called art feminine pronouns, I guess. We'll call these two hymns, even though they're purple and pink and gold. Nope, copper. These will both be hymn coasters. Because art is beautiful, men are not beautiful. They're rugged and handsome. Yeah, we always do like require signature for our pieces. Sorry, you miss the FedEx driver. After all these YouTube videos, I swear that's like FedEx and YouTube, or FedEx and what do you call it? I'm sure I've been like, let's just set some videos up that look like people are stealing people's stuff. You could just actually probably dip all that on the table. You probably could just drop one face down in all of this. I kind of like how that looks like that. It looks like, what is it when metal's melted? I can't remember what it's called. Not solder, that's not the word. What is it? Can't believe that much was in there. We don't use silicone when we do resin pours. But I've heard that you can if you want to create cells, it's similar to Resi Blast. If I were to use silicone, it would be WD-40, so you could try that. I wouldn't use very much though. It looks so busy when you do that, but when it separates, it looks completely different. Like a marble. Then you can just take your hands, hit the sides. Molten metal. What's the pink? I miss the mixing. That is fuchsia. Here it is. It's by Artissu. This is what I was doing earlier. I did some green ones today. Jen said she used silicone once. She had to do two additional coats to cover, even though she cleaned it very well and sanded. I believe it, we've had to do that too. Whatcha doing? Do you want this? See, look at that. That would be so cool for me and like that. What are you using for coasters? These are just ceramic tiles that we got from Home Depot. It's like $11 for a hundred. I hope you decide to leave that. The problem with doing this, it looks so good like this. It looks fun and cool and classy, but art resin, resin, any resin, is it does its own thing. I would leave it. Yeah. Well, here, I did it to this gold one earlier. This is a green one and a gold one. Kujo. No, I didn't. Like you can kinda see them. And just gold when I did it, it might show it. I think if we do it like four or more, like 45 minutes in, it'll stay, but this didn't stay either. Mm-mm. Maybe since it's art resin and it has a longer working time, we're just gonna have to wait a bit. Yeah. I mean, so far it hasn't moved. I wouldn't hit it with any more heat though. Yeah. Boy, no. Yeah, rather than silicone, you can use Resi Blast. I don't like using anything silicone or Resi because of the cleanup involved and almost always having to do a second coat. Do you have a lot left? I have none left. You have that left, but I don't think that's enough for another. Yeah, we use spray paint a lot to get cells as well. This is definitely full of coaster. You can just wait for a minute and just see. Mm-hmm. So you guys, sorry we won't be on it, our regular 8 p.m. time slot. We have to do a dinner tonight for a couple of friends of ours that are... Getting married. Mm-hmm, in Cancun. Do you need another tile? Off of something and then onto something. I gotcha. We use all the kinds of spray paint. For cells, I would recommend a white Rust-oleum, a flat white, like this, but not this color, white. If you look back in some of our, like probably the middle of our video listing, you'll see some pieces that we used white spray paint for cells. What? You know it was over here. Give me that teal. Where's that teal at? The teal? And our Resi blast is great, but it's just too much to deal with on the back end. I remember when it first came out, everybody was losing their minds over it, but it's just too much. You can get similar or better effects. Actually, I prefer the effects from pigment paste. Okay. We're gonna try to use this Mayron. Do you spray the paint into the cup first? Yes. Spray it into a cup and mix. The paper cup. Yeah, not that. That's plastic. Spray it into a cup like this. Paper, no styrofoam, no plastic, because it will melt and get all over your floors. And then once it's in there, you can add resin and mix it together and it'll work really well. That gold just took over. That's such a hard time. Rose gold. It is a rose gold. I just made a rose gold. Using resin, it looks great at first, but I always find dry spots. It's their way to fix that. If you want, Andy, shoot us an email at this email address, Thornton Artists Till Death, and send me a picture of your spots because there could be a number of reasons, but if I could see it, I can tell you what the problem was. I can give you a best guess. Those are crazy weird. By Mona, that doesn't look teal anymore. I'm gonna pour this. That looks almost like that jade color. You guys get to experiment with me today. So I guess you always get to experiment with me today. You need to speak up. Every time we have leftover resin, we experiment, and this experiment is, what is it? You want to do a dirty pour? Well, I love how it, when it goes off something and then it's all mixing together and goes down on here and it just sits. That's what I want to do with this. I'm gonna see what this does. That mayron definitely dulled out those colors. It dulled all of it out. So this is what I want to try. It might be, it might be dumb, but look at that mayron just popping out. Yeah, a mayron floats a lot. What about the one I want to do where I want to put the blow dryer in front of it? That's not gonna work on a small tile, I think. It looks like an earth worm. That is unique color, B. I don't know what to say about that. I don't have anything to say about it. I don't have anything to say about it. Maybe it'll look good after you roll it around a little bit. This is not l'orese. This time it's, I can't remember what the copper is, but the other colors are artist's powders. Look at the gold coming through. All the colors sank except for the gold. That is just hideous. Definitely not the best color you put together. Well. How'd you nut? It's definitely very ugly. Jan makes Perlex gold with green ink and it looked great. Perlex is way more fine green than mayron. I bet it did look really pretty. It looks like an oil spill. Yeah. Hi, Karen. Sorry you're seeing the leftovers of what we were trying to do. Well, we did these. I'll get out the painting that we did. It's probably changed it a little. There's a lot to do with that one. I know what you can do. Check this out. Do what we've experimented before with. All right, we're just gonna do all the experiments today, then. Have a good night. I'll read that. Go away. About to look tie-died. It is. Sorry for the cursing, guys. It's 420. I feel like it's acceptable to most people today. Oh, Suzy, I'm glad you made it. That pink is so much more vibrant than it turned out in the resin. You got a puddle there. We usually do that technique with gold Perlex, but we're gonna see what this will do. I definitely think it's unique look. It dulls it, though. I mean, it already looked kind of dull. That's awesome. I hope you like what you see in our videos. I wonder if we're gonna have to do a clear coat on it since it's just laying on the top. Well, I think it's going under. Megan, I'm over here blowing on the screen, too. We're at 49 minutes on this video, so this definitely has a very long working time. Hi, Lillian, welcome to the live feed. Sorry, it's close to the end of it, but we're gonna show you guys the piece that we did earlier. Y'all, if you're asking about fish eyes, that's one happening right there. When it goes all the way to the surface of what you're painting on. So that's the last of the resin. Then we did those after the painting. I just wanna see what it look like if you just blew this pigment on here. Gold just comes to the top. That's crazy. I know, Mayeron tends to take over. Let's show them what we did earlier. This was copper, fuchsia, and royal purple. And this is the piece that we did from before. Let's get over, not by the trash. Why doesn't Jeff ever say y'all? I say y'all a lot. I say it, I text it a lot. What are y'all doing? What are y'all up to? Do y'all have this? Do y'all have spray paint? That copper really relaxed well on the piece. Now I wanna do a gold background with that teal again. Yeah. We did a gold background, and that video's like 5,000 views already. Gold background with gold, white, and teal resin with a very thick resin bottom so that all the colors show through the gold. Glad you made it, Deb. Well, maybe you should spray paint this one and do those colors on it. Glad you made it, Sue. What does everybody think? About what? We did another one. I don't know, we've got 73 people watching. What? I don't know, what is? Holy crap, that's a lot of people. So, all right, we're gonna, everybody's saying yes, I didn't even get the question out. All right, here's the deal. I'm going to help clean this up and we're gonna reset and do another one. Give us like, what, 15 minutes? Are you gonna take them off the air? Do you know how long the video would be? Well, what's wrong with that? Okay, we'll leave it. I mean, if you want everybody to go away. Well, I don't know if they wanna sit and watch us clean that all of it up. I guess you're not gonna clean it that much though. Nevermind, I'm not gonna start a new one. I'm just going to continue the feed. That'll be a e-science move right there. It's not really too smart, but it's cute. I'm gonna cut you in your forehead. I'm very thankful of you guys. Very thoughtful, I should say as well. We're just gonna... You should say, we'll watch y'all clean, no problem. Okay, so you're doing teal and wet. Can you do more than an hour on live YouTube? Leah, we're gonna test that right now, right here today. I think the last one was longer than an hour. We will see. How did last night's resin set up? Beautifully. Super flat. I wish I could hold both at the same time. It's a little bit heavy. I didn't break it. I mean, will it be a bad video if we do that? I don't think it'll be a bad video if we do it. I don't want it. Let's break it up with that. This will be nice and smooth. Okay. But the gold takes a little bit to set. That's why. How long does it take to set? I remember I was getting my fingerprints on. This is already sanded. All right, y'all are gonna see it from start to finish. Are you guys gonna bring them around? So this was the second glow one that we did. I don't think I posted the video. Negative. I know that one was my favorite too. We've had a lot of people interested in the peacock one. Not, we don't have a buyer yet, but hopefully before too long, someone would wanna put her in their home or business. Getting vodka, vodka's fun. Yeah, it didn't take as long as we'd expected it to dry, but it's a beautiful day in the neighborhood. It's very dry, maybe 70 degrees today. When you use gold, this is the thing. Do a light coat first. I just set for a minute and then do another light coat. It'll get to that point. Like, this is pretty shiny. This gold is good. This gold is better. Like, it actually looks like that. Thank you. But it won't set like this. So for under resin, use Rust-oleum. If you want like a really gold sheen, like a gold, and it'll stay gold, use Rust-oleum. Under resin, Rust-oleum. On top of resin, Montana. Yeah. Or Rust-oleum. They work different. Ann said she woke up to more snow today. I'm sorry, I know she liked that. And congratulations. I think most people that are getting snow regularly right now are kind of over it. I think it was the iPad. The resin will cover it up. Karen says she's sick of the snow. Usually this takes a minute to dry and since the window's open, it's getting a little stuff in it. We're gonna hit it with a heat gun to help it set a little bit quicker. 57 in Minnesota. Yeah, where's everybody from? Let us know where you're from. We'd love to know. We're all over demographics. Got the right word. Demographics, geographics. National Geographic. I'm glad, Susie. Always take risks. Jackie, Rust-oleum's really good. Make sure it's metallic. Toronto, Houston, U.K., Ohio, Syracuse. Delaware, Germany, England, Corpus Christi. What? Washington, Toronto, Ohio, Maryland, Kentucky, Columbus, Georgia, Texas. Wow. You guys are awesome. Thank you. Australia, Washington, Australia, Netherlands, New Jersey, New York, Netherlands, Oklahoma City, Scotland, U.K., West Texas, Denver, Cambridge, Nashville, Kansas City, Australia, North Carolina, NC, I don't remember that. Is that Nebraska? Canada? Oregon? No, touch on top, touch on the side. That's good. Well, almost a fingerprint. Kentucky, Alabama, World Tide, Calgary, British Columbia, Missouri. The world is watching you. I know. When we first did Live, I was like, we're gonna have 17 people at most ever tune in. And then all you guys wanted to watch us. North Carolina, Ontario, Antarctica. What? Worldwide B, worldwide. U.K., Arizona. Come to Charlotte. We're gonna go on tour soon enough. I think we're gonna start like a GoFundMe to help us with gas. There are 74 watching at this present second. Any new subscribers? Does anybody not subscribe? Brush 10. Please go subscribe. And I don't know where Brush 10 is, but it couldn't be any smaller than where my mom lives. We love all of y'all. What a set. All right, let's let that set while we mix the resin up and then we'll come get that. Karen, you warm my heart. Thank you. New Zealand. Oh, I was way off. I think I said Nebraska. I think that's me in E. I'm dumb. E science. That's E science for you ladies and gentlemen. GoFundMe takes a large chunk of money raised. I didn't know that. That's sad. There's so many people that do that for medical expenses. Castle Rock. We enjoy sharing our tips and experiments. And hey, Serb, glad you made it. How much resin are we using for that? It's a 10 by 10 inch canvas. What do we just do? Same? Yes. That is. We'll just do eight ounces. Okay. Happy Friday. Helen, I think that's very similar to the size town my mom lives in. So do you like art resin? I love art resin. Basically everything but the price tag is amazing. Yeah, I get it why it's expensive, but at the same time, it really depends on how you work and what you do with it. And if you could sell it for more than, if you can sell your piece to make back how much they're asking for it. Happy 420, Deb. I feel like the states that have legalized marijuana should like make 420 a holiday just in commemoration. It already is a holiday, I'm sure. I don't think so. I'm pretty sure it's not actually like you can get off of work. Get off of work, but to everybody else. We should have went on at 420. I don't think potheds can tell time that well. And or not that punctual. We'll just say it's 420 somewhere. It is 420 somewhere. Also, if you do drugs, do them responsibly in the states that they're legal and all other disclaimers. Yeah. I would love to try MasterCast and East Coast Resin. They are on my to-do list of things to try. We just haven't had the pleasure yet. And honestly, we wouldn't have the pleasure of trying this resin if it weren't for Ms. Judy, because I couldn't part with the cost that this is. Karen said, don't drink in toke or drive in toke. Also had vodka. Y'all are a trip. I don't even have a sippy sippy to share with y'all. Thank you so much for the donation, Sue. Y'all just warm my heart with how much you care about us. Thanks, Sue. All right, so. We got those colors, we got teal, gold, white. These are all of our new colors. You're gonna do what colors? Teal, gold, white. Do the teal, this teal, that gold and that white. Wait, where's that gold? We already got them out. I think you put them away. I didn't put anything away. White, teal. And you didn't use gold, so how could I put it away? So that's our palette for the piece that we're about to do. It's Artisiu pigment paste. Nope, not paste, just pigment. Brilliant gold, teal, powder, and then Le Rez pigment paste. Thank you for watching our videos so regularly. When we did the first one, we were like, there's no one gonna tune in, but why not? Just see what's out there, Sue tunes in. And y'all, we had like 50 viewers, don't judge me. I'm not judging you, how am I judging you? That bottle is well-loved. That's true, it's had all of the hands on it. I hope it opens. Lu says, just noticed that you guys are up to 5.5K, growing nicely. I know when Anne-Marie Ritterhoff gave us a shout out, we got a significant spike, so still in awe that she took time to do that and say hi to us and send some of her viewers over our way. Glad you made it, Anne. I hate that it was a stressful week, but now you get to watch her pour, so maybe that'll help you de-stress. So how much pigment paste did you use? Just like two little dobs right on the end of this. I mean, you can use a little bit, but I like this to be a little more opaque so that you don't have to pour a lot on to get good cells. Right, a little bit goes a long way with this stuff. Lu says, I know, you know I listened to you guys so much, I started saying y'all and I said bye. I get funny looks from friends and family. So we were on a cruise ship and there was an Italian cruise director and he would say ciao, I said ciao. But he sounded like a vampire. He did sound like Count Chocula. Amazing. So we kind of altered it into our own thing and said it ever since. I think I want more of a blue than this. Do you want to mix in some Maui or? Give me that sapphire blue. The sapphire, it's in this. I don't see sapphire. Oh yeah, there you go. I think that'll look good because I've mixed teal and purple and got like a real deep teal and then I put a little red in it. Deb says she started saying nope every time she says the wrong word. I love that. I have a shirt that says nope. Joanne says she's making homemade chicken and rice soup. Jealous. What do you call it? Tup. She has her own language too, you guys. Like she adds a couple of vowels and syllables and constables. Constables or consonants. I have my own language. I have made up my own language with you. That's a great color. Jeanette said she joined because of Amarine. She's so glad I did. Look at that. Thank you, Jeanette. When in doubt, experiment. Yeah, Miss Colourberry is amazing. I'm gonna figure out some of the stuff that she does. That's J. Science agreed. I like it. Somehow I graduated high school. Do you say somehow you graduated high school? It was unbelievable. All I did in school was art. Draw, art, draw. Barb wants to know when you're doing a pour on a very large countertop, how do you start it from dimpling due to dust? You gotta turn all the air flow off, all vents, all fans, close all the doors and windows, and we use a tarp to separate any extra areas from where we're doing a pour, and we clean everything and move slow half the time so we don't kick up any dust. There's really no way of 100% prevention since it's hard to cover it, but that's the best advice I can give you is don't forget to turn the vents off. All the air off and close the vents. You're definitely gonna have enough for a... I think you're right. That looks way more blue than teal now. Oh, it's got a teal shine to it. You should try resin pours on round MDF discs. We haven't done MDF discs yet. We would love for you to send us some. We gotta find somewhere to cut them because our power tool department consists of... That sander. Oh, the dimples are gone. I guess it just tightened up with the spray paint. All right, let's do it how we used to do it. Let's just go... Okay. So we put pushpins on the bottom of this so that we could pick it up and maneuver it more easily. And this is what we used to do. There's, it's pretty much covered up. I probably should have just used my fingers. Yeah. But we used to do this so that some would stick and some would just kind of glide over it. But I think I'm just gonna do it all. Jeff, when you blow on the resin, have you accidentally spit? Because I've spit when doing resin. They don't mix. I think we have when we do straws, like blowing through straws. Yeah. You're right, they don't mix. Watched so much of you guys that did an acrylic pour was in a hurry and watching the clock sippy sippy. Oh no, sippy sippy. Yeah, we watch the clock a lot now when we do work, even if it's not resin, just from having to be so conscious of it. Yeah, we pour on the heavy round pine boards, but I mean, I know they'll cut down. Sorry. I know they'll cut down the big MDF boards, but I don't think they'll cut it into rounds. I just gotta find, maybe Greg will cut some rounds for us. Welcome, Kelly. Survey said, where's your beer and wine? If it was the end of the day, we would, but we have to drive to- Look how it does not watch. You're gonna, I'm gonna cut that all the way. Doesn't stick. It does not stick whatsoever. We should have busted out of beer and wine. What temperature setting do you use your heat gun on? For the most part, we use it on the low of the two settings unless we're really trying to thin out and move the resin. Like if you wanna do like an ocean cell situation right here, you would turn it up higher to more liquefy the resin and it also pushes air out faster. So it gives you more movement. Let's see. How does he keep his hat out of it? Lillian, I'm sure it's come so close. I have none in my hat. Which is great though, because this is a fuzzy hat. I don't know if you guys can see, it's got fur on it. I'm pretty sure he's gotten so close. Greg said he'll try to make a circle cutting jig. St. Louis, Missouri. You know, when we pick this color palette, I didn't think it would look so oceanic. Is that a word? Now it's an e-science word. I'm not particularly fond of how white that blue is. I thought it would be more pigmented too. Oh, by the way, NZ is New Zealand. I figured that out way late. I didn't figure it out, I was told. Just tuned in from Sydney. Welcome. Lisa said, shit, got caught up watching you guys and forgot my stakes, we're on the damn grill, LOL. I hope they're not ruined. It's nothing worse than an overdone steak, I'll tell you. It's a word, but you can claim it, sweet. I'm trying to get y'all under the brim of his hat so you can see what's going on. If you blow, try not to blow directly on the white. If you blow next to it, it gives you these really tight little lines and it'll fade, it looks like it's dipping down under the paint. Just blow right next to it. What is that? It came off your finger. Does Jeff ever not wear a hat? When we got swimming? I've wore a hat since I was 16, that's a... Hats are part of his personality. He has one of all of them and they're almost all yums. And one Batman hat that my little sister got for him for Christmas. This looks like Sandy Beach. Get him a beanie so he doesn't have a brim. He's got a few. Is Jeff jumping in on your geoding secretly? He's gonna be helping me with my geoding, I'm pretty sure. He's gonna have to. Kelly said hats made me bald. I'm pretty sure that's why I'm bald. And I'm 48 years old, so. That'll do it. Like I said, I've wore it since that's fun. Jeff needs a GoPro camera. We have a GoPro and we strapped it to a chest harness on one of our previous videos. Look at that guy. And it looked all right, but if he turned his body at all, it took everything out of frame. But luckily I had a camera opposite him so I had a different vantage point, so nothing was missed. Like when he bends down to blow on it, all you see is his shoes. So that's the problem with the chest harness. I possibly might get it in there. That's not something I want. Happy Friday, Scott. Karen said you don't look 48 at all. But thank you. Thank you, Angelina. Thank you, Ellen. You guys may have enough for everyone. That's enough resin for, like, another small piece. I know, Ellen. What color is up? We're adding some turquoise. This is the color I originally wanted to go with, but the turquoise we used was not. Scott, I haven't gotten anything from snail mail yet. I checked the mail last night to see and we didn't have anything in there. Sorry. Thank you so much for that. We love sharing our secrets with y'all. That's a good color. That clear is showing through. I want it to go from, like, a deep, a deep color to like that. Let's look at that. That fade looks pretty cool. Yeah. I know, Scott. I don't know what the deal is with the post office. Sometimes they're awesome. Sometimes they're not. No, that's why you call it snail mail. The gold and the white looks like coffee froth. Hey, John. I don't know who's birthday it is. Oh, my birthday. Beze, your birthday? That's a no. Your birthday's in August. That fade is fun, too. That looks fun. I know the depth is getting pretty crazy. Looks like an aerial view of, like, when there's canyons and, like, rivers running through canyons. I read that acrylic tints do not mix all the epoxy. Can you speak about that? Love you guys. What brand are you talking about? Because we use acrylic paints all the time and haven't really had an issue with it, depending on the quality of acrylics that you use. I'm doing super-tilt. I know. I see that. But it's so fun. And this is the thing, like, when you start to, when it starts to kind of not set really, but it's, you know, it's not moving if you tilt it, if you heat up just one part that you want to move, that helps just moving just that part. We've got some crazy stuff going on. Hey, little guys. Like, I want this to run over here. I'm gonna tilt this. Yeah, Maui is a good blue. I know issues that it is water-based. We haven't had any issues. I'm trying to think of a piece that we did that had acrylics in it, but now we haven't had any issues. The only issues we had is one that was, look at all this. Look at all that. I used a lot of oil paints in a painting one time and it linked all over the floor, like it never really set. But that was the only time I used a paint that wasn't accepted into the resin and created issues. I talked to Greg and he said he might start selling the wood that he makes for us. He just has to get pricing on a website up. It's secondary to his grown-up job, so he does it only when he has a second. There's a lot of going on right there. I know, but everybody loves what's going on, so I would almost leave it alone. All right, so we got enough to make. That's so unique. A couple coasters. My husband? I know the gold makes it glow for sure. The white that we're using is by L'orese. I wish I could tell you all the information that it's gone on here, but it's the white pigment paste by L'orese. You'll love it. What's going on? I just wanted to put more. Oh, it's Angel White. Can you use those tiles in a shower setting? A lot of people have used the tiles. They lay them all out and do a design and then they'll take them to, they'll grout them into their showers. Hold on, hold on, hold on. I was going to try to tilt it, but man, that center is like super, there's a lot on that center. But yeah, you can use tiles in the shower. Is that a burn on your hand? On my hand? No, I was testing the plum that we used in that last night and we just used it on our hand to get swatches. It's probably not good for me. I'm probably gonna get cancer in that spot or something. Who knows? Everything gives you cancer now. Hey, what? It says on it, not for like use on your skin. If you get it on you, like wash it off. But you know, it's not a burn. It's just paint. This is a burn from the front of that thing. It's a battle wound. I've had it since January. It will probably never go away. I just found out my L'orese arrived and I'm at work for another three hours. I'm feeling an illness coming on. That's funny. John, he is not my husband. I agree with you. He is super hot, but we've been only dating for three years. One day, one day. It's so thin. It's like, I feel like it's dipping. I feel like it's beautiful and you should leave it. It is gold leaf on Bertha and I use gold leaf on mini Bertha. I just have to do another layer on her. Let's see. Greg says he's working on an Etsy site to start selling the boards for you guys. John said, oh, so there's no hope for me. Yeah, I can't, I mean, it's not like on paper locked him down, but like basically I locked him down. So we're gonna make him blush. We don't have a video up on Bertha yet. I'm working on a video of this piece. I just have to do another layer because I have a fisheye right here. So I'll have that up soon. Is that your house? It is. This is our studio part. We live in a loft in downtown Dallas. It's a little bit of a wreck right now. Kitchen, which is also basically part of the studio. Living room, bedroom. We do. I know, Lou, I've been debating on whether I want to resin her or not. I think half of that is because I like her flat and I think the other half is that I'm scared. John said to tell you to put a ring on it. Bye, Greg. Are you talking to my mom? No, I'm talking to John. When's the new lip piece coming? That one over there, I have to finish. That one I have to finish. And then this big one, 30 by 40, we'll probably have to do that soon too. They all have various due dates. I can't wait to see the drip one. I don't know why. Oh, there. The drip? Yeah, it's in the corner. It's facing us. It's on the window. Oh, I guess I don't see the drips. No, they're not on there yet. It's amazing. You guys are a dream couple. Lots of love from Australia. Thank you. Bye, John. You put the ink in the middle? No, I put the ink down first and then. And it just came up like that? Yeah. Weird. Look at that. Look how it just goes on. This is the color right here. Yeah, Kelly, we thankfully keep really busy. I'll never complain as full-time artists. All the business is amazing business. Well, this is what makes it so amazing is you guys donating to us. It makes it so much more worth just to do what we're doing. Like, we just thought we'll just put out a tutorial, couple tutorials, let people know because I guess we just got a bad taste in our mouths with people that were just like, you go look it up, go YouTube it. We're like, that's just, it's just stupid. Like, why not? Why not share it? Resin has its own mind. Like, you're never gonna be able to reproduce anybody's stuff. Yeah. And then, so when you, when people donate, it's like, it's easier for us to get stuff to do it every single day, you know? I know. Our viewers are so generous. We love it, we appreciate it. All of it. It is a great blue. Do you think doing resin paintings in frames is a bad idea? You mean like taking the glass and doing a pour on the glass or just framing a resin painting? Hanging with Tony does that. This is the color I was wanting earlier. Has sales picked up since the live videos? We haven't... Not really. Not really. We sold a few. It's one of those things where you, you put out what you can do, if that makes any sense. You don't want to put out too much. Like, let's say we get, we go live and we're on Ellen. There's no way we would be able to keep up with what we would get bombarded with. So we like to do this at our own leisure. This is fun for us. That's why we do it for free, because it's fun. And then I just, this way we can concentrate on other times about the fine art, the lip art, this stuff, if it sells, it's a plus. All the art that we do is fun, though, but yeah. We've noticed not an increase in sales, but we do get sales from our YouTube videos. People find us from there and want a piece that they saw made, whether it's live or just a video. So we're just happy that you guys tune in. Love the loft. I'm in a one bedroom apartment and half the living room is a studio. We were doing that. We lived in a one bedroom apartment and half the bedroom was a studio right before we moved here. Yeah, we sprung this new time on everybody today. We're trying to just switch it up and see what times are better for people overseas. You can do it on the glass and put it back in the frame. Hanging with Tony does that. It seems to work out great. I would tape the sides so you don't cut yourself and so that it fits nicely back into the frame. John said he would donate 100 towards the ring. Ha, ha, ha, ha, ha. Jeff looked at me like, I thought he said he was going. Artists can be so competitive. I know. It's crazy. It's literally bananas, especially since, look at, okay. For example, we did all of these at the same time with the same stuff, the same technique. 100% of them are different from the one next to them. Like it's impossible almost to, nope, not almost. Just impossible to recreate something exactly. So why not share and help someone to be confident in making artwork? This is my favorite one. Which one? This one. You should have sponsors on here. I am now counting Judy as a sponsor because she was nice enough to donate all of this amazing, Jeff said he feels like he's been accepted and adopted into her family. She also donated the art resin to our cause so that we could try it out. Love the title of today's pour. Thank you, ma'am. I know it's time to make a flower. Thank you so much for you guys and giving back to help us out. Warms my heart. Look at that guy. Which guy? This guy? Do you accidentally drip that one on there? I like it. These are fun. I have to keep these. I love that teal. That is the bright teal that I wanted. Zara said I'd love to see another video of what's available at this point and prices. We will definitely do that. Thank you, Lalo. My lounge is my studio. Not much room for visitors. We turned our living room into our studio and then put our living room in the master bedroom and we live in the guest bedroom, or the second bedroom. Deb said she loves this time spot. It seems, I wasn't sure how many people would actually tune in because it is so much earlier and I didn't know people would be working but it's about the same number of people tuning in. I got more rest. Are you serious? Get another coaster, there's one right there. Thank you so much, Tim. Love it when you say bananas. It is bananas. That's my favorite. You got it. I love it when the cells encompass all the colors like it does right here. You're gonna have to watch out getting next to those. I won't touch it. All right, so let's do- YouTube and Facebook, good for sales. This is true. Most of our sales come from word of mouth and social media. Thank you, Leah. Living it from Wales. This is what we use. It's an adhesive for gold leaf. It's by Speedball and it goes on white and dries clear so that you can see where it is and it's not so tacky that it rips your gold leaf but it turns super adhesive. Adhesive-y, it's not a word, it's now a word. Adhesive-y. It sounds like a Russian poker player. Adhesive-y? Yes. Yes. Borus adhesive-y in the lead. Takes the lead with all in. So there's no problem with the resin sticking to glass for the frame idea, I have no idea. We'll do a pour on glass and test it for you guys. Yeah, I've never, we've never done it on glass yet. Judy said yes and now you two are mine. So because of you two, I started working with resin, you got me hooked with your great tutorials. Oh, thank you. Where's that? Tim, which tutorial? We are gonna do a tutorial of just cell creation soon. That's it, it's not about design or colors, it's just gonna be how to create cells. So that is coming. Let me go back. Yeah, all the artists for sale, I'm working out of my dining room. It seems like a lot of y'all work from home, that's awesome. This is a good time, that's awesome. I'm at work, but I got headphones. Can you show us your porcelain today? I'm sure it is in the desperate place. It is, but here she is. We used that copper that you sent home with us and the royal purple and we get into the light. The copper, royal purple and the fuchsia. It looks like cheetah in the middle a little bit. I wish I had a better vantage point, but my arms aren't long enough. And we've done about a hundred coasters because we've made too much resin. Coasters. I mean, with coasters, man, you're not just putting it on like, oh God, let's put it on a sheet of canvas. Those coasters are sale. We sold coasters at our art festival the other day and wow, we sold all of them. And we didn't know people would want to mix and match. Surprise, that's all they wanted to do. You should totally pour on it, Judy. Oh, yes, that one is, I'm just waiting on it to, I have to, let me go back over here. I got a fish eye, so I have to do another top coat. But I have the rest of the video already put together and finished, so all I'd have to do is do this. I guess it doesn't really matter about the top coat. You don't really care about a top coat. You just want to know how we did the rest of it, so I probably can go ahead and post it. Look out for that today, Tim. I'll post it today. Y'all are so sweet. Thank you for all the compliments. What do I have to do to buy some of your guys' paintings? Just let us know which one you want. We'll do another video of what we have available and the pricing later today or tomorrow so that you guys can see what we have available at this time. Janna, we don't do cork on the back of coasters because it tends to get expensive and we're artists on a budget, so what we do is these little bumpers for cabinets so that it still doesn't scratch anything, but that's what we do. There's Kujo checking out his junk. My pleasure, Tim. The Stormtrooper coasters with a kiss thing was cool beans. Agreed. Those sold really quick at the Arts Festival. Thanks for the feedback, Susie. Thank you, Janna. What's up, Nathan? Thank you so much, Margaret. That's fun. That is fun. Can you show a tutorial on how to do the back of a coaster? Yeah, we have a lot that we have to finish up. We've been storing them so that we could do all of them at one time. We'll do a tutorial on how we finish out the backs of them. We always spray paint the back to match the front. We even do that on the canvases. When we send a painting out, we'll spray paint the back to match the front. How do you keep the back so clean? Well, right now we learned that we could put them on tarps like this or on like, what's it called, wax paper? Yes. On wax paper so that it lays flat and then if there are any areas that stick up, we just sand it off. That's gonna turn into cells. What did you name the one behind Jeff? It's awesome. That's Bertha. Jeff hates the name. But I feel like it's beautiful. Do y'all have problems with spots on the sides of the tiles resisting the resin? It just, it's a thing. Like, this is the thing. Sometimes when you do that, it resists. Just turn them over and just spray paint. Don't try to spray the side. I guess you could. This is how I did it. I think I turned them all over and you barely just kind of put them apart and you just take the paint, whatever color you want to paint the bottom, just go right down the center. Like you would go right down the center and it just kind of hits it. So it just kind of blends it in. Like you don't even, you don't realize that it's a spray paint. Just looks like part of the resin. And it's art, man. That's what we tell people. This is functional art. We'll have all of that in our coaster tutorial. It's really, we have a lot of our paintings that are laying flat on plastic. As long as it's not like overflowing with resin, you won't have a problem with just peeling it up off so that it's flat on the bottom. I just donated on PayPal. Can you let them, can you let me know if it went through when you get spare time? Okay, I haven't gotten anything Jackie yet, but it doesn't mean it won't. But people have had a problem with not doing two T's and two L's for artist till death. I really appreciate all of the donations you guys have sent to us today. All of your names will be included on our list for the giveaway on the 22nd. Also, we're gonna go live and do a painting for all the subscribers just for being a subscriber to us. Kind of like we did last time. I'm gonna do a poll probably in the next video. And I'm gonna ask you guys what colors you would want for the giveaway live pour. So I'm gonna need to know what you guys think. There's so much turquoise left. Look at that. Oh my gosh, why is that so amazing? It's like a sunburst. What? I love it. That's what I wanted to look like. Now I want a really big heat gun. That's where you put it down the center. That's what I just did. I just went down the center, just heated up and you can see it kind of melting into itself. And then it's made a bigger circle, bigger circle, like just kind of, and it, oh wow. We'll see if we can do that again. You're gonna do it again? All right. Well, I have all this and I don't. I get it. And a lot of this, this pink is like setting. Deb, I have names on there duplicate times just because I don't want to miss anybody. I'll go back through and consolidate. You get it kind of, look at that. Can you see it? Mm-hmm. Woo! That? It's much fun, it's much fun. That's fuchsia, right? Yes. So this is what I'm gonna do with this. Look for this. This is gonna be, I'm just gonna keep using this and it's gonna be one big skin that we'll send to somebody if they wanna use it for like jewelry or something. You're gonna make it the giant skin with all these? Yeah. That's just, that's the, what do you call it? The plan. Karen has a wrench by her name because she's a moderator. A couple of videos ago, I had the most dedicated troll. In troll history? In troll history come up on our videos and I needed help to keep those kind of people off the post. And she's kind enough to join when she can and moderate for me. How do you photograph your paintings? I try to tell, I try to tell what I really wanted to do yesterday, which I think it would work. All right, tell what you actually do. I don't really do that, like, let me tell you something here, muster. Is to get, like, set something up like this. Get a big black piece of foam board, like foam core, really light. You can get the thin kind, you can get the thick kind. Put it in the corner, above wherever you're gonna take a picture of. Get a table, paint that black as well. Put your arm work down, or you could paint it white, I guess, because it would reflect light. Put your camera above it, right? Is that what I was saying? Put the lights out here so you don't get the lights in the picture. So when you're taking the picture, there's nothing reflecting up, it's just straight black. Does that make sense? Yeah. Like the ceiling is black. We haven't tried that yet though. I've tried it, I've tried it with the black piece of foam board and it worked. Okay, if you don't have all that to set up, that's ideal. This is normally what I've been told. As far away as you can, zoom in with a tripod. So you have all your lights. Zoom in to where you get this and this. Because if you're up close, you might get the reflection of light or your lamp or you. So you get as far as ways you can. I mean, just a good amount and then zoom in so that all of the angle stuff is out of the way. That makes sense. It does. I'm not a professional, so if it doesn't work for you, I apologize, just experiment. I know the black ceiling will work. At one point in my new studio, I will have an entire black room to photograph stuff like this so that there's no reflection everywhere. I think that would work. Thank you, Brenda, so much. I think it would work. What if you did this? What if you made a huge box, black, obviously, put the painting under, cut it out where your camera will go, shine light in from the front so that your camera is in with the ceiling, right? I guess, yeah. Yeah. What about the light? You would have lights in it. Oh, okay. You can also do indirect daylight. Always take a picture of your artwork with a tripod. Yeah, so it's not shaky. Or a remote control. Someone asked about using crystals in resin. I'm just gonna tell you that if you use anything like these crystals, like the round ones, the resin will take the facets out of your resin. So if you wanna put it on top of the resin, go for it. If you wanna coat crystals in resin, you're wasting your crystals. Also, your resin. That'd be awesome, Deb. I wanna get micro photos. Hi, Brazil. Welcome. We don't have a special camera we just use. I use my S8. 8S Plus. Samsung Galaxy. It's the best, it's the best phone camera you can get. Is there an easy way to get resin off your skin? We pour alcohol onto a rag and that's how we get resin off of ourselves. You can also use alcohol wipes. Ms. Judy uses a hand sanitizer. It works great for her. Lightbox, yeah. Yeah, lightbox. But I would use lightbox and ceiling to be black. Somebody do that and try and see if it works because that's just in my head for some reason. I figure that would work the best because there's no reflection up. Nail polish remover works too. Make sure gasoline works too. No one's putting gasoline on themselves. I love these coasters. I know. They turned out awesome. All right, you guys. We gotta go wash all the resin off of us and get ready for the dinner that we have to do tonight. But we will see you all manana. Thank you so much for tuning in. Thank you to everybody that donated. I will update this today. If you wanna send us pictures of your work, tag us or send it to Thornton Artists Til Death. Don't forget two T's, two L's. And we'll see you all next time. Bye. I said bye.
