 Let me get my um This out so I can see what you guys are saying Theory working on it and working on it that cover photo is not cute So yeah, I'm working on this geode Well a pair of geodes Let me turn Nope nope flash on hi Diana. You love them already. So let me I'm gonna end up putting Glitter glass on them like this but so far I only have the fire glass and the Quartz so now I am faced with how To turn the top into a geode when there's so much Interestingness Going on. You know what I mean? Like it's not a flat surface. There are many levels I'm trying to figure out how to do that and a lot of times You may end up with clients that Have an idea and you just want to make it work for them. So you have to Kind of work within the Boundaries of the project, you know So my conundrum with this one is that there's it's different levels and there's peaks and valleys in This surface. So the whole thing was black and gold. So we painted This top part black and my headphones about to die. So let me switch that out So, yeah, so yeah, I'm trying to Figure out you guys remember that White and gold geode series that I did this client was very inspired by that look and so now So it's me to turn these two amazing nine-foot-by-million burls into geodes and I kind of just skipped the boring part of applying Those crystals in the glass that all happened one at a time by hand I have many burns from hot glue and so I Figured I would Do some of their resin With you guys I can't raise these because It's heavy. I don't have any sense that would support it with me That may further make it not level because since the top isn't level and there's peaks and valleys That would lead me to believe that the backside is also not level and has peaks and valleys So That could further interrupt the flow of the piece. It can't really tape off the back Because of the same reasons I just said so I have a tarp down and a plastic tarp under it and I'm just gonna I'm gonna just roll it and hope for the best essentially because That's all I can do and I'm on a time crunch. Yeah, I don't know what it's What the burl is from but it's massive and I would assume it's a redwood Are you filling the holes? I'm not I The piece that she was inspired by that she wanted these made from didn't have filled center holes They just had the holes kind of encased in crystals and also if I were to fill these It would take So much resin if you look at how high it is it comes up to above my ankle and That would take even with supercast from just resin nope from stone coat pouring it at two inches apiece that would take at least eight layers and That resin takes days to cure So not filling the holes. I'm just I'm essentially doing what I have here But I'm going to be throwing a whole bunch of glitter glass at it as soon as I get the resin applied I think really all I can do is Apply the resin not worry about it flowing off the piece really Sorry about the movement Apply the resin not really worry about it flowing off the piece and then whatever may flow off if it does flow all the way then just Heat it and cut it You know not mean I Did not bring the biggest buckets that we have I only Because I'm genius only brought one quart mixing cups Which is okay, I'll just put I'll just mix two of these and then Sweet I only brought liquid silver and not liquid gold. That's amazing Sorry, I know that crinkling in y'all's ears. Not the funnest I'll just use some double O seven instead of liquid gold and just paint the liquid gold on after so What is your client going to do with it so these were wall pieces I Don't for clients privacy. I'm not gonna show you guys the whole house But I'll show you where they live a big hook right there and that big hook right there That's where they live So they'll be going right back up in those spots now To mix Some resin. I'm glad I'm not gonna have to lift these pieces cuz I mean sure they already weigh a billion pounds but once the resins on and All of this I think I have right now 10 20 30 40 50 70 70 pounds on them right now each Plus the resin plus The glitter glass wish I had one of those electrical stirrer-ruppers But I don't So I'm gonna just muscle through it Sometimes when you have a gig like this You just do what you got to do, you know Hope that hooks are sturdy. I think I think they will be Sturdy enough and Honestly, I'm not concerned about whether these clients can get sturdier Hook system I Think they will do that just Fine now when you mix big quantities like this You have to really pay attention to How long you leave them in them, how long you leave the resin in the mixing buckets Because the bigger the quantity that's sitting The more it's gonna heat up because of science. I would love to go into that with you guys But my brain's not working After two days of adding crystals and stones and glass But essentially The resin's gonna create heat which will create more heat with the more Resin that's in the bucket so the bigger the bucket the faster you need to get it out of the bucket. However, I Am fine with it thickening up a bit so for it to start getting warm and Starting to cure in the bucket so that it will be thicker and the thicker it is The less it's gonna run off So that is why I'm cool with it being in the bucket. That's why I'm mixing two at one time If you wanted to keep it fluid for longer, I would not recommend doing two at one time Also, I'm using art coat by Stone Coat countertops You can get it on my website artistslead.com or you can get it from Stoke Coat using the code yall y-a-l-l all caps no punctuation So I know that was loud for y'all my bad and I'm using Stone Coat art coat because of its super awesome UV resistance Otherwise I would be using something like Stone Coat Which has slightly less UV resistance, but has a shorter working time which means it will cure more quickly and that's kind of The two things I'm battling is I need a little bit longer working time so that my dangerous idea of letting it start to cure in the bucket and thicken up Won't get me in trouble because if I'm using a resume with a shorter working time I Risk it completely curing in the bucket because the time that it takes for it to go from Starting to get warm to completely unusable isn't very it's not a very big window. I love the new glitter. Yeah How will you keep dust out of there? Essentially, it's not gonna be possible This is an active family And they do have two pups And I inform the client that these shouldn't be touched or gone near for 12 to 18 hours And so we'll see We'll see how that goes. That's one of the issues with doing a piece in a client's space Is you you don't have control and I won't be able to just watch it and baby it so I'm doing all I can Which is inform a client. He has a very clean home It's gorgeous house, by the way, I want a place like this when I grow up lots of room for art and Mermating yeah, that's true when containing dust on location you can close off rooms vents and fans and Keep the door shut and put a towel under all the doorways that being said I am in the foyer of the home so Not a lot can be controlled in that respect also sounds like someone just came in the door Looks like it would be touching my this if I sat like that. I've been crouching over this piece all day And back is killing me. I just took and a leave three minutes first bucket. Thank you Thank you. Thank you Right tutor also tutor come help me pour this Send you the address. I think it sounded like someone just pulled up, but I don't know Hey, sir No, not at all. I did. It sounds like a pretty nice car. Oh, goodness. So initially I was going to Do multiple colors however, I Worry about them flowing together and not looking exactly like I want it to because Of the highs and lows on the piece So what I think I'm gonna do is just do Milky Way and maybe a white. We'll see So after I get this down Try not to get let anything near it Because for 12 hours, whatever lands in it's gonna live there. Yeah Well, I don't want to put that one there on it there because we don't have the plastic under it so I Would just hate for like for you to come up and sniff it and her nose gets stuck to it. Thank you, sir Abalone I don't The client doesn't want She wants subtle sparkle and Abalone's got a little bit too much rainbow sparkle in it. So We're gonna do Milky Way However, I think I did bring some Abalone. Um, no, I'm not feeling the large the large Wish I could show you guys this house. It is a beautiful home But I would never do that without asking clients Permission, you know, I thought that was Jeff when he came in Jeff is watching over Bowie. He is having a little bit of a hard time being a Loan pup. So we don't want to leave him alone right now. So Jeff is at home with my little Bowie bear who Had a play date this morning, so he's probably asleep, but you know Thanks Clara Also, I ran out of glass like twice. I had to order like same-day delivery on Amazon So, yeah, it was three minutes, but I'm seeing some swirls Some fish fine angel hair It's something you guys gotta watch out for when you're mixing especially big quantities Especially especially on a One-shot piece is to make sure that it's completely mixed don't cut corners Don't know what I would do if I did this piece and then it didn't cure fully I'm on like a time crunch to complete it because we're leaving the country on Essentially Friday, so yeah, I'm crunched. I can't just leave and These stay in the middle of the floor for the client Not even almost warm yet awesome so Do you guys have any questions about large commissions or Resonant general or any other things that I tend to work on? Also, if you're asking me something, I can't see it. Sorry about that. It's a flat land. How are you doing Chrissy? Yeah, Claire is the best You can over mix resin. What will happen is essentially It'll start to heat up Sooner than it should Sounds like a deal Susan Thanks messaging Jeff I would Ideally like to do both of these at the same time However, I need to see how the resin flows And make sure it's not going to go too far and flow off onto the floor Because the other one over there doesn't have Doesn't have the plastic tarp under it. Thank you guys so much my other screen that I was reading comments on has Basically stalled out. So if you guys are asking me something Listen to whatever Claire and other mods say because I can't read it I'm mixing some Milky Way in Just a little bit to give some sparkle But I'm not making it opaque because it's inevitable that something to run Into the crevices and off the sides and it would be a little bit difficult to hide How that's going, you know Great so the video is back, but not the comments, which is essentially all I needed to see need to adjust so that you guys can see What I'm doing I feel like I'm not ready for this part But here we go right now. I'm just kind of skim-coating it Seeing what we got to work with how much it moves Well, it doesn't know too much and I can go ahead and do both of them I was going to just use high build But I don't know the UV resistance of high build But the high build and ensure that it doesn't flow anywhere, you know, sure Oh, no, no, you I thought you meant just leave it open. I was like, yeah, of course These clients are really awesome. Let me work my way down to where you guys are seeking Actually, see what I'm doing. I'm just literally skimming it with my hands Super thin not an eighth inch Close to an eighth inch actually Hope that wasn't too much So, I know I just said that you guys could ask me whatever about large projects But I can't see what you're saying right this second. So if you could hold The questions that I need to answer versus what the mods can answer that would be awesome Because I would hate to miss a question this looks really nice already With just the Milky Way on it. So once I get the skim-coat put on I'll go over And I'll have to pour some down into the crevices help my stones stay put because Right now the only thing holding them there is I'll go in a prayer actually Yes, I should set you guys back up back here Like for example, like right here. It's higher than it is right here. So the resin's gonna flow this way for sure So I'm gonna make sure I just apply it a little bit thinner on The low spots because it's gonna run from the high spots. Sorry. I'm not talking you guys. I'm trying to focus Because it's epoxy down After I get all this this skim coat put on I will Start pouring it into the The gold areas amazing even with just doing a skim coat. It's gonna take Both just to skin it Also gonna be a challenge To make sure I get all the white areas and not forget one since the color I'm putting down is The color that it is but just with sparkle not really too concerned about Flow over into the areas that have Like a base like the The this little one Because it can't flow all the way to the floor Only really concerned about the overflow in the areas that'll go to the floor. I'm also gonna end up coming back over it with a Posca pen. Oh wow, where are you guys going? You've tilted So this live makes me feel like the lives that I used to do where I was in the beginning where you're essentially just talking to yourself to build Your viewers Because I can't see what y'all are saying. I don't like not being able to see what you guys are saying Pretty do what you got to do when you're working on a commission. I feel like I'm putting resin on mountain peaks While standing on another mountain peak initially, I thought I was gonna like foam brush The resin onto this but we don't have one So I'm just gonna roll with what you got and while Artcoat gives me two hour working time. I don't know how I Care it that is when it's just sitting in the bucket I'm trying to get this on relatively quickly That I can get the other bucket of resin Out and working. Also, I just lost my place Luckily this bucket isn't getting warm yet, and I think this is the first one I mixed up But I can't be sure I'm definitely gonna go through both buckets on the skim coat. Also, I think I have resin in my hair No time to stop and get it though. There's not a lot who hasn't lost this strand of hair to resin My back is killing me But it'll be worth it. I feel like once I get this first skim coat down I can then get more precise with application and Possibly add some lines Like the geolines However, with how this is gonna flow. I know that it's not gonna stay Also, definitely gonna get demonetized for a song in the background So this video may not stay up for very long I Don't get a strike against me Because YouTube does not like it when you play music Also, they've killed my life feed before cuz I think I was watching the office one time and it picked up the audio or Like caught a glimpse of the video and it killed my life feed. So That may happen. There's my other reason. Oh you guys can't hear it Sweet I'm surprised typically if I crinkle a wrapping paper it burns some people's ears, but Music can't be picked up. Maybe Maybe they already muted it. I'm gonna pour most of this into the other bucket That already has the Avalone shelling up so I can keep Some in here that I might make into a white Close it too tight. I'm really surprised you can't hear that music. I Don't care with it letting Milky Way Milky Way such a beautiful color I feel like I could probably even add Milky Way just on top of The surface and it would look nice Not even getting warm yet. That is amazing. So if I had the time and I wasn't working inside a client's house, I would have Leveled the surface with like maybe a bondo so that I wouldn't really I'd have more control with how the resin flows By leveling it off. Sometimes you just have to work within the Constraints is that the right word? Boundaries of the project. All right. I almost have all of the skim coat done after that I'm going to See if I missed anything Now I'm gonna add clear into these little crevices because I'm gonna add Glitter glass And the glitter glass has to have something to stick to so I'm just kind of putting it at the top of These ridges I'm letting it just flow into the Into the piece but only in the areas that has a bottom to it I'm not doing this to everywhere hot glue I'm not doing it to the outside areas because Trying to save the floor Gary anyways I don't think it would really hurt the floor because we have a tarp under it The resin being added Also Further secures the Fireglass, okay. Yeah, sure See you tomorrow also Something I just realized is the resin's still a little too fluid to add fireglass so And I have to Use a spray adhesive For the fire glass. Yeah, on my back. It's so bad. It's gonna be worth it I think I didn't finish telling you guys that It's important to use something other than just Hot glue to secure your Stoned Because hot glue is not essentially it's just it's not for forever. I don't think anyways It could be and I'm just misinformed So I'm trying to selectively let this drip over the glass if this was a Plastic tarp I could be a little bit more Loose with this application I think my back may fall off just a little bit I think I'm gonna have to use the resin that I reserved for white for more milky way Which is fine. I've already been doing this for an hour It doesn't seem like it probably I could get away with not putting milky way in In this bit because It's going in the places that's over fire glass So you won't be able to really tell because I'm going to add glitter glass. However, if you can add sparkle To a geode and again lost those to where I stopped. So right now. I'm just kind of like rough icing these bits for lack of a better word While the floor is protected and I'm just going to Cut it off if it sticks I still rather not If I can help it Also, I think I cut my gloves Because it feels a little heavy As if I have resin in the fingertip that's Always a good time So after I get this bit of resin down I'm going to start adding some fire glass. Nope glitter glass. I think that's my client's favorite part I don't blame her. It's one of my favorite parts. I will geodes is The sparkle and nothing sparkles like The glitter glass. Oh, yeah, there's resin in there for sure That's one of the hazards of working with Glass and and the thinner gloves Even probably thicker gloves you risk The gloves splitting at some point and getting into your That sounded very repetitive and that Was all the resin I have So I'm gonna have to mix some more. This is all up in there So Since I have to stop and mix more resin, I can give you guys a better flyover And answer questions That you guys may have a while doing that I'm letting my fingers dry off. Oh, and I can fix my tripod. So My pleasure Evelyn So you can see the milky way sparkle in it very subtle You could drip some resin onto The tarp but the tarp has a plastic sheet under it So If you guys don't have any questions for me in this moment I am going to Start mixing more resin But I have to get new gloves I'm loving how the piece looks. I don't know If I'm going to add the lines I don't know that they're going to add anything To the overall look, you know and ultimately If It doesn't it was not going to add to Then best not add it Because then it may come off as just taking away from What you're trying to create Also, I think Jeff just pulled up and if that's the case I'm gonna have to let you guys go so I can call him Until I'm That I'm not finished Oh unless one of you guys can text him I would just go out there, but I don't know if you've got bowie I don't want bowie to get all frustrated because I'm not coming that way up to the car Take this opportunity to sit down Not used to not being able to see Claire call time on my Resin mixing I bet you he does have bowie There's always not doing good with Being left right now It's really important no matter what quantity of resin you mix up to scrape the bottom of your cup and the sides So that everything gets incorporated really well I should have brought A um a mixer power drill mixer Very to say I'm not used to not being able to see Claire call time You can't even really see the areas where the resin's running down the side of the piece So that's good I'm not gonna have to really worry about saying to get off because It's just clear a little bit of sparkle Just a little bit of sparkle I appreciate all you guys being here with me I know it's not the most exciting live feed however maybe You guys will pick up something that you can use in your projects adding Then Milky Way I'm trying to add enough to where it has a lot of really nice sparkle, but isn't opaque And the main reason why I'm trying to go for not opaque is In case it does run off Onto the outer edge the black side That it um Won't be distracting. So I won't have to really worry about sanding it down or Fixing it. Nope. There's Jeff and they have amazing Texture front door so I can't see out to see If he's got the little beam with him So you guys He does have Bowie Down off this door Yeah, I know. I know. I know. I know. I know I yeah, there's slept. I think I went to dinner. Um, I just went with full Milky Way for now There's tarp Yeah, they put the tarps down. I was like This is not gonna be sufficient They rolled out a tarp I know it big boy. Yeah I can't let you down big boy. Um, I don't know. I'm sure they're friendly, but I have no idea I don't know how to get there Um, unless you want to add resin she said, um I saw Claire's text about losing or freezing Yeah, this one Oh, and that one I I'm the it popped up that I was running on better If you want to help me just if you want to put gloves on and or hold what you want to do this You're capable So you guys just here You're okay, Bowie. Calm down Bowie so I'm just gonna add this on and then um put some glitter glass and then we'll be good I figure if it sticks to If it sticks to the uh Jeff is distracted by this amazing house right now Mm-hmm Right. I bet their sunsets are pretty sick Ooh, I bet I just ripped my gloves again Bowie He's like what? I'm surprised he's not more tired after playing with Matty all day He was like, no, she'll be here I'm not like full concerned with Applying the resin to well, I'm gonna full Yeah, he's he's got I need to put your drops. It looks good because what the dull and I'm gonna be Doing glitter glass I think on top of where the gold is You think I should put Basically You think I should put it on the top top So like I was trying to tell Jeff, but he was very distracted um I'm gonna be Using a spray adhesive to put the glitter glass on the areas that aren't really getting covered With resin right now, but I will give you guys a close-up of that as well I think I did put a hole in this glove. I've never had a piece or I've had to sling resin to get it Or I need it But that just happened. It's quite an adventure to have to sling resin as a necessity goodness Always having a bout of separation anxiety poor little guy resin applied Now I hope the clients Pay attention to the fact that they should not Should I apply glitter glass now? or do spray adhesive Huh, so where if I add it now that it'll Like just sink heavy This is a fun too Yeah, let him just kind of wind it out Well, those aren't really moving I kind of let it sit up in the bucket for a little bit So I just tried to put some gold something I don't know if it's working. Uh-uh You know Do you say you think I should add glitter glass to the center? So you guys if you're still with me I'm about to add Some glitter glass and I'm hoping it stays on top But if it doesn't I'll just add more with a spray adhesive As soon as I get this down, I'll give you guys a final flyover before we head out You know, it's such a gorgeous home I can't even explain how this is going to go crazy once they lift it up Like all the glass and things that Didn't fully adhere It's not enough I've been waiting for this like as long as I've been working on this piece All I've wanted to do is throw glitter glass at it Because glitter glass just kind of changes the game a little bit a pit pit pit I think she's she may love it just like this and I may not have to add lines to it At least that's what I'm hoping You know what I mean? In theory they'll look awesome Maybe You wouldn't do too much to the side or How about that y'all? It just went down to 10 percent In a minute, I'll show you guys my inspiration for this piece beyond the White geode I did for a while ago Kind of just have to go up to some parts Yeah Maybe got something going on with these ears for sure I've got drops I'll put in it when we get home Maybe that's where they went Whoops, that one got on the surface, but I don't know that it can be helped so Maybe just have to call it a creative choice and Do a bunch of that All right, don't think I forgotten anything Except for these old guys I feel like I'm Will this help people feed chickens? That's what I feel like I'm really hoping she'll like it without the lines We'll see I think I'm gonna just make it busy and there's no way to constitute the line and make it make sense So let me give you guys A final flyover Do we have a light on still? Nope This is okay I'm telling you if you're not using glare glass for geodes I don't know what you're dealing with your life because They're pretty it's pretty awesome product. I think so. I haven't been upstairs Uh, I think they are maybe lights I did not spray it with gold. It was already gold I put some little gold chunks in here. I don't can you guys see? Like right here Do we like that? Oh, some got out here. I'm gonna have to fix that. I got some gold flakes There's a glass. I can't really mess with glitter glass You can try But you just can't the one and one I did not That's awesome Can we see boi? Yes, you can yep All right, you guys When I go Hey ocean So I'm so glad you liked it I have to do the resin and the glitter glass on this one tomorrow It should be the first thing I do when I get in And stuff, but Thanks for watching you guys. We'll see you guys tomorrow Be kind to one another you never know what someone's going through. We love you guys And always remember we do the test so you don't have to See that. Oh woke the pups. It's gonna be pretty sunset See y'all tomorrow. Bye
