 Trying to get you guys situated Wait for it wait for it Yes, I'm filming on my phone. So it's easier for being on this side of the board so yeah We're live and I'm trying to I'm trying to uh Do a piece that's inspired by The piece that I have as a cover photo hi Susan and that is it's by the one of the cover photos by Someone miss colorberry she does amazing geopieces And I have a client that wants one that's based on that. So I'm doing a sample piece to test out some colors What's up you guys? Oh Denmark? Hello Hey guys, where are you guys watching from? I've got a Denmark and a Montana Well, thank you Nancy Sorry, it's been a minute since we've decided to go live We've just been Super swamped We're not really even slowing down yet. I'm glad you're home Lisa Lifting cups I Don't anticipate having too much overflow on this one Kansas City, Kentucky work life. I feel you UK Marilyn Phoenix floor. That's such a fun name Hottos 80s Pacific Northwest Not bad not bad So we've been preparing to do those green countertops down in Austin as well as Negotiating for this piece which will probably be a seven foot geode and Also something else. I teach class yesterday We've been Hosting a bunch of people and getting ready for our art retreat in Belize and On top of that Sending out orders and answering emails and text messages and getting pieces from the fire sale ready to ship out We've been busy busy bees. Hey Clara. I Did Denise I sure did. Hi Nancy Are you're on vacation? That's fun. I hope you got my response to your recent emails Arkansas pass Beautiful gorgeous love it. I'm gonna assume that I've mixed for three minutes Okay, what do we got? Looking at the reference I was sent we've got a gold She wants a silver There's pearl in there a deep blue a Mid-range blue and a turquoise Hey gingerms miss Leopold So let's start mixing some colors This won't be a very long video today. I Want to I guess there is no white, but I'm gonna do a white anyways because you can't go wrong with a white In a dark geode you've got to have something to balance out the deep colors So let's mix our first color, which will be Thornton shimmer can't go wrong with that Cannot go wrong with this Yeah, the final piece is gonna be quite large. Whoops But who doesn't like working on large pieces. I haven't informed Rhonda yet that I'm gonna do The actual piece at her shop Surprise I know it's one of my favorite colors Is Thornton shimmer back in stock um I Will check for you be send me an email and remind me to look I'll probably forget by the time the speed is over But I have another Oops, sorry got too close to the camera. I have another shipment coming of color passion So it should be in soon For that mid-range blue. That's like close to the inner circle of gold. I'm gonna try blooming by resin arts Nice media girl. What's up Marcy? How are you doing? Are you still like traveling the whole world? Pretty much when you say you were coming through Dallas. I need answers Someday I'll sleep same girl same So this blue moon is actually a dry paste But since it's very reminiscent of a powder. Well, it's not a powder, but it's kind of a powder I always overload just to make sure I have a great color payoff How rich and beautiful that color is and I always mix in effortlessly Ooh, I got that word right on the first try Okay for the very bright-looking color of turquoise, I'm gonna use turquoise luster by just resin it looks like It may have like it It almost looks like it's a glitter layer Just very concentrated glitter layer But since I cannot be sure I'm gonna mix both a glitter And a paste for that color So this one is turquoise luster. Why do I keep forgetting? Put this in here. I forgot what I was saying, but what's new? client says that she likes Turquoises and that her living room is blue and silver, but she likes the mixed metal look I Eat golds and silvers together. So we're gonna we're gonna do that You love red, but these blues are nice exactly Can't believe you have a good signal. Well, I'm excited about that to Pamela super pumped Thank you guys so much for all your support if You haven't been here before welcome. I'm Erica Jeff is over here is Well We're artists till death. We go live every day usually at 6 p.m. Central during most days except for 2 p.m. Central on Tuesdays usually and What are they gonna say? Oh, we always do art usually resin, but we do multiple forms of art I'm also gonna use some Bondi shouldn't request Bondi, but You you cannot go wrong with Bondi, right? Right? anytime I do An ocean I have to have mostly transparent pigments when I do geodes. I like to have at least one translucent or transparent pigment as well Let's do four drops Getting crazy You actually got a notification sweet If you too would like to get a notification make sure you subscribe and hit the bell So that YouTube can usually let you know when we're live But they don't always so don't hold your breath. What's up TG? Hope you had the most amazing amazing birthday. I Want to come to your shop Monday the 12th. I'm about six hours away No, we will be I'll be in Belize Jeff will be in Vegas On business So I'm mixing less White and less gold. So that's why I'm using these smaller cups What brand is the red bottle that is color obsession? They went they're moving away from the older bottles with the heavy jars and the pipettes To that bottle. It's more durable for transit and it's lighter. So it costs less to ship But same awesome product just different package The white is Le Rez angel white now. I'm gonna use One of the most amazing golds. This is rich gold shimmer by color obsession It's basically molten just melted gold This is what Midas's dreams are made out of Wait, did you get engaged? Okay, I wasn't gonna tell you guys But yes, we are engaged The fifth will be in Austin starting the countertops the green ones Then we should be back here the 8th But then we'll be gone on the 10th should be back by the 17th, then we'll be gone The 20th we're gonna be gone a lot This month is crazy busy. It's hope from Facebook page ATD. Hey, hope. How are you doing? Freeman Oh, I was wondering like did someone just comment it? All right, then the last one I'm gonna do is Abilene shell because You can't have too much sparkle, especially not in a geode glitter is always an option Okay, Bowie. That's not I'm adding a little bit more to make it more of an opaque and I'm using this instead of the pearl I didn't leave any resin for my glitter Maybe I have enough in here. Let's see. We'll make it work I'm unconcerned Two of your favorite artists are on here Erica and mix media girl. Oh Thank you so much for that. Nice. Okay We got colors this is about four colors more than I like to work with but is What it is So firstly, I'm gonna add some glass in the center Or the druzy area of my geode Since this is just a color test this part isn't really necessary But sometimes I feel like it'll help the client to see the vision better if there's The elements that they have in their references so glass Cool. Cool. Cool. Type type type. We got we got her this Then it looks like there's some in my reference like halfway up More than halfway up So I'm gonna put some right there. I like to add my glass Before I have any resin down because then I can move it and manipulate it without Worrying about if resin sticking to it I'm messing up a design So if I don't like this right now I can just pick this whole thing up dump it and Be good to go Looks Geody. All right in my reference. There's gold next to The rock in the middle and any time I do a piece I put The color on Then are at first and then I'll fill it in You're okay. Kujo Just so that I can kind of draw our paint with My resin a little bit. I am using stone coat art coat best resin in America And the next color up is the mid-tone blue. This is something Blue moon by resin art. Then there's some goodness. I didn't mix up near enough resin Because I meant to do a dark turquoise as well, but that'll be fine so That Then it looks like a Deep color But I'm gonna make this color a little bit darker By putting some You put a hashtag it's on there So while Jeff tries to get that open I'm just gonna add this color Then the this color Actually, I think I want to add some whites and in a reference that I have it's I mean, it's quite obvious that Some of the layers are done in different setting There's different layers. So part of it has set up before Adding for example the really metallic glittery line so Do you guys work from reference? Um, it's me you girl. Thanks, Marcy I don't know where my button is Appreciate that so much add some abalone in here. Did you get it? Oh, thank you. I had almost given up hope So this is dark turquoise. I'm gonna add just a little bit of it into My thorn tin Shimmer and an awesome thing about the pigments that I have on my website artist till death comm is that you can mix and match and Combine colors to make other Colors so I needed this one a little bit darker So I added some dark turquoise and now it's like a super deep shimmery turquoise Susan What's up dances with our barks? Okay Moving on I need to put a Blue up here is my transparent Put a big line of this color. I really didn't make enough for us. I don't think What's up, manana? Have you guys done geodes before? How do you like doing them? I find that people most often request me to do geodes and oceans typically So I am I can't see the back ends of the piece I'll put some of this darker Just through here in the reference the patterns more rainbow. I like to have a little bit of Movement awesome Susan I'd love to see it Petra, you're always working on some amazing geodes Can't compete I'm gonna blend some of these colors into each other We'll just help the resin to know kind of where to flow Trying really hard not to mix colors Patricia, we don't have to compete. Well, of course not, but I'm just saying that your geodes are always spectacular Okay, now once I have all of my colors down you can start to Manipulate the lines and add little extras Oh goodness, Susan I hope you got that fixed because it's no fun to be pouring in super hot temperatures Now that my board is completely covered every time I add more resin. It's gonna push everything outward Which I like to use to my advantage it creates Unique dips and things in the design so I'm gonna pour some of this over my glass. This will help the glass stay in place and Will help my fire glass stick to these areas This will probably end up being a multiple part pour Because the final piece will be multiple part I think if you're going to do a sample piece then You should Kind of do it how the final piece will be done. Just Save yourself some stress and do it that way However, this isn't exactly a sample piece. This is just a How well colors work together piece is not gonna be like a mini replica of the final piece which green Just got a phone call from probably someone calling to see if I Need to get an extended car warranty PS anyone else getting those calls those are fun, right? I've gotten every ounce of resin. I can't out of that cup. Yeah, sorry about the Buffering I got a phone call so it's resolved and add some more gold over my Rocks and I'm probably gonna add a few lines through here Can you have too much gold? I've probably not now. Let's see. I'm gonna take my Bondi mixture that I have and I'm gonna mix in some glitter You have been daily and you have a 1998 Taurus. That's funny. Hey Valerie I'm gonna use some color obsession series one number 12 confetti glitter because this looks a lot like what's in The reference. Okay. That's a lot, but that's fine You guys think I overload my powders. I Super overload my glitters It's in this Words are hard necessary evil And again, you had the best idea for your next pour than you waited too long and forgot Embarrassed to say I've done I'm gonna add just a little bit of heat. I don't want to add too much heat because that will Really liquefy my Resin and move it and we don't want that so Technically according to the reference. I'm looking at this should be added after The piece has cured After this layer has cured but we impatient and We're just gonna go for it. I think I want to do like a mini little like dirty pour Where's that? I need a tea time baby cup What do you think? You know what I think is the real I could tell you haven't used any heat on the colors Just by looking at it, right? I did a little bit If that's one of y'all calling I can't answer right now We're just gonna do it a little tea time baby dirty pour Need a little stir for good luck. We're gonna put this and that almost looks purple Does Town sounds so posh. It's about your auto warranty. You know, it probably is I just love the ribbons I think on my next sample piece. I'm gonna do like a few dirty pour areas first and then Do the color around them. All right, let's add this glitter ness glitters even harder to control than resin itself You guys think of the glitter I think it fits me. It's too much We think now she wanted She wanted silver as well, but I don't know if or how I can do that And make it look Like on purpose and Make it flow. Well, I don't know I'd be ever do metallics combined like that so Let's um, let's get the Where's our chrome? Let's find our chrome But you know where your little Molotow chrome thing thing is Never mind. So I don't sell this in our shop, but if there's anything in here, it's gonna look cool The upper corner this upper corner. Thank you Shelly You got anything in here, it's not even very chromey However, that looks really fun All right, I need a new this or I can just use my liquid Gold that's in silver We go grab that All right, I'm going to use Here the laptop. Oh, you mean this messiness. Yeah Definitely does Totally get it Angela. What's up Tim? So I'm going to use Montana's liquid silver to add the client requested silver to this piece in order to do that I'm gonna make some room let my Paper over to the mat side and pipe it out some mat Nope some silver and Let the propellant that's in it to kind of soak in You guys see what I'm doing. No Okay, see this darker area That's where a lot of propellant is when I move it see the dark bits That's areas that have a lot of propellant. So I'm waiting and mixing this around to get that part to sink in I don't know if you guys can tell there's like a bit of an oily film Looks like it's happening Just on the outside of this And that's where that propellant soaking in to the paper. It won't soak in on the gloss side just on the mat side I'm doing this so that You do a roadside See, I didn't draw the line that big, but it's growing because of the propellant Once enough of the propellant has soaked into the paper and I'm left with just the silver pigment The line should be super thin and only be where I put it still too much Unfortunately, they don't make it without the propellant Because then it will dry out and I won't be liquid by the time it gets to you so It has to be in there But see how it's thinner and it's not cracking on the edge like it is on that one Because we're working a lot of the propellant out of it. Oh my pleasure Susan It's what I'm here for and if I just get too into what I'm doing and don't explain the why Just call me on it. Let me know that I haven't fully explained what I'm talking about because there's times where I just get too excited What I'm doing and don't Fully explain What I'm doing? Let's try this again And then I'm wiping this stick off over here so that this color that I pick up from doing this doesn't get transferred back into my silver that I'm just Mixing around over here. So that last one was okay alright Let's just pick up some of this. There's still a little bit of propellant in it, but it'd be fine Sorry about all the movement by the way Let's put one right here. Let's put one one right here Put them in between the dark and the white and then a line where the blue and white mean What we're gonna do is this bit up here to be honest, it's probably gonna slow off But we'll just do that so that there's some movement. Yeah. Yeah so I'm gonna try to pick up some of this Sands propellant just Add a little bit of silver into my rock surface Yeah, I'm gonna work Make sure that you mix if you get some of the liquid gold or liquid silver mix it up every time Because it separates super fast. Okay. I'm just gonna let a little bit of propellant soak out of it If I don't it's gonna bloom and crack And do a whole bunch of stuff that I'd rather it not do I know I can't get all the propellant out of it though so This is just kind of what I do when I get commissions and I always ask for references of things that they like Then I ask them to circle if they send me a bunch of references that Are similar but there's so many different attributes to them that I'm not sure what it is that they're looking at I'll ask them to circle the parts that they like in each photo Whether it be the shape The design element like if they like the glitter part here or the dirty poor part What is it that made you save this photo and then I create based off that? all right, let's do some glitter glass because Basically, it doesn't matter what you're making glitter glass makes everything more amazing That's just science, and I don't have my flash on yet for this Piece but once I turn it on you guys are gonna be like what I just quoted you hope you don't mind So if you use glitter glass be careful While it's a very dainty and pretty and awesome and amazing it is glass it will cut you paper-cut style which I Would argue is one of the most painful styles to get cut, but I Don't have a whole bunch to reference so Yeah, just be careful. Let's turn some lights on and show you guys what we just made I feel like you know those People that paint a whole painting and it's upside down and then they flip it over and they painted it in 60 seconds And then it's a full portrait Alright, let's get up here first That's a full overview glitter glass silver liquid silver and fire glass Some gold I purposefully You guys know if you've been on the channel any length of time that I do splatters quite often It's just part of my style and I love it Got some glitter some more gold up That's split right there. That's from that silver blooming. That's what I like to avoid That first one it's splitting and cracking right here But the the more I've waited The thinner the lines tend to get and the less crack cracking and splitting happens as opposed to the first And this is our dirty pour line that seems to have sunk a bit Splatter dots and of course the gold lights up and this silver lights up. Let me fix this so that My glitter sparkles more. Hold on too much There we go. Check out that trick You have a dirtier looking lens things tend to sparkle more because science Did you dirty it up on purpose? I showed them the trick See how much sparklier it is but if I just Or start to clean it off. It's still sparkly But less so there's still a little bit of Grime on it not grime, but you know what I mean Hold on. It's still sparkly, but it doesn't quite do the thing like if I just Do that just a little bit Fun fact for you videographers out there That glitter is somewhere. There it is series number one Color number 12 confetti glitter from color obsession. They're all various size little round glitters I think it's a good-looking piece You realize when you have cuts when you use parts of your finger you didn't know you used that and when you go to Use a hand sanitizer. That's super fun. I mean, how are you doing? So I'm loving it. It's just a color test. I think they work. I'm gonna ask her to clarify if she likes this Darker blue because while I like it. I don't know If it really fits for sure for sure overall But we'll find out No worries. We just wrap this bad boy up. I'll be doing another layer Maybe probably tomorrow Just to give a couple extra lines make sure to mention but yeah So thanks Joe, I appreciate it also my assistant sent out your package without adding the epoxy So shoot me a message don't remind me to do that. I just got done taking kujo out So I'm just gonna whisper this part. Thank you guys so so much for watching.
