 Okay, been obsessed with trying to figure out this holographic, opalescent, black, marble look. Haven't gotten to figure it fully out yet, but since it's on my mind, I thought I would go live early because I have it on my mind and I'm gonna figure it out. And it's been not the funnest, trying to figure it out, but I'll get it. So I've got my chat screen up so I can see what any of you lovely faces are saying. And we're just gonna get started. What's up, Susan? I know I'm early today, my bad, my bad. But when you have like a finish on the brain, what else are you gonna do, except for whatever you gotta do to get it out, you know? I can't be the only one. I probably am, but I'm sure I'm not. So, the pieces from yesterday turned out kind of okay, but a stir stick landed in one of mine and it looks horrible, but just look amazing. I'm not even sure how that happened, but it happened. All right. Hi, Brenda, how are you doing? Can I paint on top of resin finish and then resin over again? You sure can. I went ahead and mixed up my resin just to save time. So you guys don't have to just sit there and watch me stir epoxy for a million minutes. I used my drill with my paint attachment and so it's very foamy, very frothy looking, but it will be fine. What's up, Tim? Beauty. Hi, Lisa. You guys are having a wonderful day. I promise I'm not gonna fill your lives with this holographic iridescent look that I'm currently obsessed with for too long, I promise. But if you don't like it, then blame Judy. She's the one that first inspired me to investigate this look, you know? I won't tell anyone, Jessica Terry, but have an awesome day at work. Patricia, Timmy, what up, girl? Kelly, good morning. I hope you're all having an amazing day. So let's get started. I'm going to divvy out this resin into these cups and ultimately what I think I'm gonna do is kind of what Jeff did yesterday in that big dirty pour, but then I'm going to, I think I'm gonna try to keep it on the thinner side because I think when you have a lot of paint, nope, a lot of pigment in your resin, it tends to cloud it. And I really want the black to help the vibrancy of the colors shine through. So I'm gonna kind of test and see if that changes anything one way or another. And I'm gonna try to granify it. So I'm gonna get my opalescent background and then I'm gonna make it into granite with the spray paint and alcohol. Okay, so this one is the violet. I'm not gonna put too much in there. I'm gonna try to restrain, refrain, however you say. Not gonna load them up too much, just one scoop on the mousse-sized stick is all I'm putting in there. So violet, green, this one's gonna be the red. What's that, Joseph? Are you guys having an awesome day or all of you hiding from work? I did laundry today. So basically I'm ahead because I adulted, right? Maybe not, probably so, but also mostly probably not, I don't know. What's that, airbrushing with stewardism-designed LLC? How are you doing? Are you airbrushing today? Thinking about working with resin? Down with work, well, that is amazing. That's why you're working from home. Live in the dream, I see. Okay, so I put less than half of what we were using yesterday into my resin. This is going to reduce the occurrence of those pieces not quite mixing in, I think. And I think it's gonna make the colors more vibrant and less cloudy. And probably if I used even less colorants, it would be even more vibrant. How bizarre is that? The less colorant you use, the more vibrant it'll look. Doesn't make logical sense to me, but from a practical standpoint, it seems to be the case. Working at a haunt in Sparta in full sun, I am not, I'm not jealous. That sounds painful, to say the least. Okay, so I'm not going to, okay, I'm gonna do a thin skim coat, comma grease the pan because I really want to keep everything thin and close to the black background, which is just spray paint on cradleboard. Thank you, Vant for reminding people about the class we have coming up in August and then the one we have coming up in September. Woo, okay. So I think I'm gonna skim with, not Milky Way, where's any, Avalonois, I'm gonna use Avalonishel. All these colorants are from color art slash resin art slash bling it. You can get them all at artiststilldeath.com, my website, you can find links for that down below and throughout the video, the mods will be posting links for that as well. So I'm gonna skim around this Avaloni very thinly. The idea here is that it's gonna help my resin move more easily across the surface, but not keep my resin too far away from the black background. I don't know if that matters, if that means anything, but I'm gonna test it out because it could matter, it could mean something and who's gonna test it so that you don't have to unless I do. So I'm going super thin, but if it happens to be just thicker in areas that is fine, perfectly fine. Because those areas where it's a little bit thicker will just have peek-a-boos of the background and just be kind of breaks in the iridescence and then just shows black through it. So that's why I'm kind of putting little pockets of Avaloni. You know, Rhonda does this a lot with some of her melded pieces. We're gonna see if it crosses over into what I'm trying to do. Abandoned Acres, that's fun. Diamond Desk adds some 007. I should be getting more 007 then soon. I got notification of shipment in motions though. That's always good. Now, don't get too worked up about how this is looking right now because just hear me out, it's gonna be great. Everett Resin, I just started, I just mixed up my colors and we're about to get into it. You don't know what this is. It's like leftover resin from another resin piece. Okay, meow. I'm going to, do I wanna use white? Doesn't matter, cause I didn't make any white. So I'm gonna be just layering up my iridescence. I'm not really sure what most of them are because it's hard to tell until they're on top of the background. And if this doesn't really look right after I get all of this out and on the board, I'm just gonna kind of scrape, skim it around and just make it a thin layer and take it from there. Okay, so now we have all of our stuff in here. I'm scared. Okay, let me think. I'm going to just do lines of this. My goodness. Okay, it looks 1,000% like holographic-ness. So I'm going to just create one more dirty board to get all of this iridescent resin out. I'm so excited already and it didn't even do anything yet. If you guys can give me just one second, I'll bring you around so you can see it from my perspective. You can really see the colors. How bizarre is it that it just takes a little bit of colorant to get such a great color payoff? I'm just gonna do this. Let that drain out. The whole thing looks like it's chameleon because of all the color shifts from the iridescent. Also, this iridescent green reminds me a lot of our Dalmatian chameleon color. Trash, trash. There's something about holographic stuff that just lights my eyes up. You know, it just, this holographic count is a color because if it does, it's my favorite color. My mermaid fan is holographic. I'm sure I can come up with other things of mine that's holographic, but that's all that came first to mind. Okay, let's get to many outside corners. Bowie says hello. Nope, all right, cool. Of course, it didn't land bottom down. Why would it? Right, now I'm gonna take you guys down and show you where we're at right now. And then we're going to move on to the next step. Obviously it's still really bubbly. I haven't done any heat to it yet, but how fun is that? This is my favorite part so far, but because I did so many different layers, not layers, but okay. That just sounds like it was 12 gallons of gas evaporated if you guys heard that truck. Anyway, let me forget what I was talking about, but I'm sure it was important. Now, what's up everybody? To the dark side of Micah, don't get too excited. As soon as I can make this into a paste, I'm gonna do it. All right, now I'm just going to fill in any areas that look kind of low, this area. I'm just breaking that surface tension because the reason why it hasn't moved into that area, it hasn't dispersed. It's because of surface tension. Now all those areas will fill in. If you don't wanna run your hand through it, you can also run some of this Milky Way so you're not physically mixing up your colors. Also, I basically used all of my Milky Way, so that's the end of that. It's fun over here in Micah world. Don't get crazy. Where's my torch? Did you guys know that in many countries, a torch is actually like a flashlight and not a little weapon-looking thing that fits fire? I didn't learn that till we went to Australia. So there. Oh, forgot all of this. All right. I don't wanna use too much heat as per use because I don't wanna give any of this the chance to blend together too much. And I still have little flecks of color that didn't mix in fully. You can see. Oh, I ran through. Oh, you can do that one right there. I'm torn on if I want to try to get them out or just let them kind of just live. Moving forward, what I think I'm going to do is pre-dissolve my powders in alcohol. And that will help reduce the occurrence of these little flecks. Not completely mixing in. Paste wouldn't do this to me. Vamp. That's okay. You guys are gonna do some other stuff to it. Now, I'm gonna try to create some cohesive movement by tilting it a bit. What's the difference between ocean coat and diamond coat? Ocean coat is, it's really made for making cells. So they call it ocean coat because you can get really nice ocean pieces with it. It is, I think, more UV resistant and has a longer working time than diamond coat, but I have to double check on that. So many flecks of color in it that didn't get in. Vamp, I will take away your wrench. You too, Judy. Shut up talking to me, Vamp, with your science. I mixed it for the exact amount of time that I mix all of my pigments that are usually paced. It's not my fault that this is more difficult, okay? Okay, so I like it better now that it's kind of blending and moving in to each other's space a little bit. And purple is pretty awesome, isn't it? Tim, I know you're not laughing at my pain. In this kind of look, it may be kind of okay to have tadpoles of color because it just will look more galactic. I don't think so, Judy. There's something else in there. Mainly, I think that because the ones that I tried, just mixing in part A didn't do the same thing that my regular pace do. I like it like this. I'm gonna take you guys down again. Can you still use resin that has yellow maybe with darker opaque color? You sure can. Caught alive. Haven't got alive in about a year. Spotty A internet signal. I'm sorry, Angel Ridge Designs, but I'm happy to see you here. I have to mix it longer. Okay, y'all, quit bullying me. I'm feeling very attacked, but I think it kind of works in this. The brown bottle stuff, I don't think that is part A, but she doesn't even sell that anymore. So I think she like gave up. Not attacked more like strongly advised. Okay, ma'am's gonna be in time out. Nah, I wouldn't do it. I think the little ch-ch-ch-ch-ch of color works. Maybe we should just revisit it next time I'm over there, Judy. I wish you guys could see what this looks like. IRL, this is my inspiration. I didn't get quite as vivid of colors. I think if I added a little bit of a dye to my iridescent colors, maybe it will do what I want it to do. I don't know. So this is where we had a pocket of clear. You can see that darker. But that's where the iridescence ran over the clear pocket. This is where the clear pocket is still on top, still on top. So I didn't use any actual black colorant. It just works by having pockets, you know? I could see this in a geode form or shore. And it is aurora borealis, isn't it? You did it yesterday and it didn't mix long enough. Judy, I've seen you mix. You mix quite thoroughly, I would say. All right, JJ, anything with pockets is amazing. Test it at a little paste and put it on a coaster and see if it takes away from the effect. Kim, I'm pretty sure I'm gonna do that. I used up every ounce in this piece. I need to hit it with some heat. But there it is. Now I need to know if you guys think masking fluid trees in the mountain. Oh my goodness, we could totally do that, couldn't we? If we did it from like this perspective, this person. I wish I had added the lines on this way so that all of this would be how it just is. So that I wouldn't have to kind of deduce whether it would be better to do it from here or here. So should I leave it at this? Sorry about the guy that's really angrily wasting all of his gas outside of my place. Do you think I should granify it by Italian dripping over some black spray paint or should we let it live? I like your idea, Kim. Good idea. Judy, it would be a cool countertop one, not. I just love that soft fade between one color to the next. Man, calm down with the black. So JJ, that's kind of the look I'm going for is just letting it be awesome. You know what I mean? Unicorn granite. You'd have to wait longer to set it up. This is true. What's up, Dee? Long time no see, how you doing? What do you think of my this? So you know what you guys? I think because of the flecks of color that are kind of just jetting about and then having tilted it the way I did, it kind of looks like maybe a little bit of stars and that makes it more realistic to an aurora borealis unless I'm just making that up in my head. Can you see the colors jetting through the other colors? Am I making that up or do you guys see that too? Does it look more aurora borealis with these lines? Or am I crazy? I'm great, Dee. Did you I'm married? It happened. I'm waiting on my wedding band to come in. Color art definitely has the most intense interference colors. I will definitely co-sign that. I'm here for it and we love to use their colors. I think I may do another one for the aurora borealis look and leave more pockets of the abalone to have more of a starlight sky in the background. You know what I mean? And then have a few, you know, if I like erased this and erased this and just had this band of overlapping colors with the striation of not quite mixed in particles, I think that would lend itself best for an aurora borealis. And I have been asked, I don't know how many times, how to create this look and my Judy came through and helped me figure it out, you know? Oh yeah, it will stay. I could add in some halo, huh? What's up, Joe? Okay, so you guys think I should aurora borealis this one and maybe just black out some of it or should I do another one for the aurora borealis look? Since this sample was a success, I hate that I'm just showing you the same stuff over and over, but I'm really torn on what I should next step this. Do another, do another. Looks like the consensus is to do another. But now I know the exact formula to get the look I'm going for since we've done three tests now, maybe more. You should do the A.B. like you did with the pop stick yesterday. A.B. I assume means abalone shell. Maybe black sections would be awesome. Right, so should I granify this? Is that what you guys said? Or let this one live and then visit that on a completely different one and save this as the successful piece to base all future aurora borealis. What's it called when you're making bread? Is this the mother yeast? Or the mother, do they just call it the mother? I don't know. We got one let it live and one granify, two lives. Okay, so two granites and three lives. Four lives, five lives. Mother seed, is that what it's called? Dirty poor like Jeff did yesterday for it. Cool, cool, cool. All right, looks like the elives have been outnumbered. Let it cure quite a stencil of trees and mountains. Okay, so let this one live. Maybe we'll do the something. What's the thing I was gonna do? Words, words are hard. We'll do the other thing that we're gonna do. Oh my goodness, I still have COVID fog I swear. Vamp is so extra, she just woke up with it. All right, we'll stencil this one out and make it an actual aurora borealis-ness. So yeah, all right then. Do another one with bigger pockets and granify it. I'm here for that for sure. So I hope you guys enjoyed this live. I did three loads of laundry today. So basically I'm a full adult. No, that's a lie. So anyways, I got a lot of work to do before Vamp gets over here to tell me to do more work. So I gotta go, but I hope you guys enjoyed this live. I super did. I'm very excited with the success. And so I'll see you guys later if you're gonna be, I think Rhonda's doing a live tonight on RK3. If you have time, that's on PM Central. Come on over to RK3 Designs. Vamp and all of us mods here will be over there to do the things. I have no idea what she's creating, but it's gonna be awesome cause it always is. Anyway, hope you guys have an awesome day and we'll see you guys tomorrow. Be kind to one another cause you never know what someone's going through. Till then, bye. I guess I should say it for Jeff. We did a test. So you don't have to. Y'all have an awesome day.
