I know that everyone is creative, yet I don't think everyone believes that they are, so between doing videos on the creative artwork I do, there will also be videos chatting about you Being Intentionally Creative. Once you understand your creativity, it will open up a whole new world to you.
In regards to the art I share with you, I will take you through my processes, what has and has not worked for me, and there have definitely been some things that have not worked out well. In taking advice from Ice T, I now practice, almost every day and I focus on doing my best, perfection is no longer something I am striving for because it doesn't exist.
So, I hope you will join me in exploring more about this thing called creativity, expanding your own, and exploring the fascinating and playful world of art in all its many forms.

I've had this mould for a while and decided it was time to create a piece using it. Am I sure how this is going to turn out? No. I am trying something a little different by using a darker pigment paste with neon mica powder brushed onto the mould. Let's hope it is a success. We won't know until it comes out of the mould.

Is there some sort of release agent that you could use in the runner sections? I do like that sleigh mold but I'm a beginner so I don't know if I could do it. Might try it though.
looks great.🙋♀
Thanks
Perfect for treats! Been busy with mix2mold, making a test tube bud vase. Made too much, of course so hummingbird ornaments and gnomes for xmas. Paint then gild with Tiny Turner micas.
I’ve had this mold forever and haven’t thought of anything to do with it..glow in the dark is a great idea! Thanks for sharing..❤
You are so welcome!
chuckling...I so want to fill his mouth with something. A real something, like cookies, hard candy or fruit.😅👍
Maybe add wire to the runners or even card stock. I simply bought a wooden one ro decorate, paint etc. It's very similar.
Some others have mentioned wire. You had a better idea to simply buy and decorate one. : )
I would put a coat of uv resin on top of the runners. Have you found anywhere to get more mix2mold? I know Regina and Calgary are sold out, and i cleaned out one michaels in Lloydminister the end of July.
If I do this again, will definitely have to have a better plan. As for the mix2mold. You won't find it at Michaels anymore. You can buy from Amazon.com. I have seen a couple of items on Amazon.ca but the prices are nuts. I don't understand the prices put on some things on Amazon.ca. Best bet is to order through Amazon.com if you want more. That is probably what I will do at some point.
I agree with the person who suggested putting wire in the weaker areas. Like they put rebar in a concrete structure to reinforce it. Copper might be good. Or a thicker gauge jewelry wire. It has a potential for so many applications. Or just use regular resin. That would be easier to color also. I commend your dedication to finishing with all your skills and talents.
Thanks for appreciating my dedication. : )
I was holding my breath while you were demolding. Usually 2-3 hours is pretty safe to demold.
lol I would have binned it!! In saying that my suggestions are: a piece of wire in the sled part to give it more strength; leave it overnight before demoulding; could you loosen the cut outs with the end of a mini applicator. But you’re not doing that mould again 😜. Kudos for your perseverance and patience 💚🇦🇺
I would definitely have to shore up the mould if I use ceramic resin again... I am not beat yet, just out of this game for a while with this mould and ceramic resin. I could have chucked it all in, that would not have been useful to anyone else.
The runners are too shallow and the ceramic resins do not perform well in shallow pieces, they are made to make bulky pieces. On the white one, yes do the entire runner front and back in uv resin. I believe oil based paints are best to paint the ceramic resins with, I watch Steve McDonald and that is what he uses. They did turn out well considering they were only breaking in that one spot, I have watched a lady have half of her piece crumble because the mold was too shallow that she used. -Beverly
Honestly, it wasn't you, the mold itself is poorly designed. I do applaud your determination and patience and was just finishing a silver rim on a box, when the nib fell out of my brand new paint marker😅 On to another make!👍
Thanks, and I feel your pain with the paint marker. I have had that happen and occasionally get a blob of colour from priming too much.
I was holding my breath while you were demolding. Usually 2-3 hours is pretty safe to demold.
love this mould .looks great.🙋♀
pretty mould .not sure about colours .i would like to see it in plain white.🙋♀
what a great mould .you done a great job. but no i will not try it .great work.🙋♀
I figure better for me to mess it up and let others know my challenges, then you as a view can decide if you want the challenge or not.
Hey Natalie, I hope you are having a great Thursday. Thank you for doing this mixer review. I don't believe anyone else has reviewed the mixer in regards to adding paste or powder, at least no one I've seen. I have seen several add alcohol inks or resin inks in the resin before using the mixer to keep from introducing bubbles. I love that orange color.
I wanted to see how well the mixer would do with heavier products like paste and mica powder. For me, if it worked with those products, to me it is worth the money. It did a good job.
Other resin artists add a drop or two of Elmer's clear school glue to the resin, and the thickness increases significantly. The foam balls should be mixed in without floating.
I might have to try that... I have added glue to other projects, but haven't with styrofoam balls
Pretty kitty!
The kitty turned out really cool looking! And that was an awesome color morph!! That Istoyo mixer works great!
now I just have to find better ways of highlighting the cat once out of the mould so you can see all it's features
That is one of the most interesting transformations I've seen from a pigment powder. I expected orange however; the entire time it was mixing, it appeared just short of florescent green on my phone. The fun part was when you got the head out and the little cat has a glitter crown 👑👍
thanks, and I never considered the glitter going to the cats head and ears. lol
Love the grundy pumpkin! Just made a cross body bag for grandaughter for starting kindergarten, crochet chenille yarn.
Very cool about the cross body bag.
Thank you for doing a thorough review, I'm not that far along but it's good information. The combination of that eye-watering orange and the mica for highlight is perfect. And since you asked...while you were demonstrating, I was unpacking an order that has the most delicious deep, deep purple mica. About 5 shades darker than your mat & not super shiny in the jar, which is great! I'll tag you when I post a test tile shot.
I am glad you found my video thorough. The deep purple mica, where did you buy it? I look forward to seeing your piece when you have it done.

@@AlpacaMade - I will have to check out their site - thanks
@@nmbbeingintentionallycreative You are very welcome!. One note; their foray into Resin/Casting colorants is new, they were primarily a soap company, so a bit of reading is necessary. They _do_ provide lots of chemical compound information. Happy reading!
I wonder if you could glue some together in a ball shape and have them look like ornaments. Adding transparent colored beads to look like lights, cut up tinsel or foil for the garland. Add a star on it later.
With your ideas I am curious what creative work do you do?
I wonder if you added food coloring to the Styrofoam balls or just put them in a bottle or jar with the spray paint may go e it color. To keep them from floating I know people use glue in the resin when they add glitter to keep it from floating. Maybe it will help with those. When I finish watching the video maybe I'll have other ideas. May e someone more experienced will give you better suggestions.
I might have to try your glue idea with the styrofoam, and all ideas are great creative ideas. Thank you for sharing yours.
The Styrofoam would look great in a Cauldron to look like it's bubbling
I have some small resin cauldrons, something I should look into doing. It is a great idea.
love this mould.not sure about the colours.🙋♀
Thanks and the beautiful thing about colour is there are enough for everyone to find something they like.
As someone else said, I did not expect the ceramic resin to pick up the epoxy resin pieces. What a wonderful exercise. The finished piece was a little busy for me, but I liked the fairies. Keep the videos coming.
Great idea to use up my multitude of little resin pieces. 💚🇦🇺
I hope to find some more uses for mine - they add up so quickly, especially for me as I tend to create test pieces - have a great day and have fun finding new pieces to make.
I really like the finished piece. I wouldn't have thought the ceramic resin would pick up the resin pieces.
I wasn't sure it would either, I guess by surrounding the pieces, lol, it had no choice, hope that is always the case
I use a baking mat
cool, I have been looking at them, probably thicker than the very thin mats I have been using so far, which ripple too quickly
"...it's made for cardmaking, but that doesn't mean anything to me..." 😂 Yep, best tool I have for all this jazz is from ceramics! I am pondering my stencils now...👍
stencils are cool, and some products may only be for one thing, but there are plenty of items that can be used across a wide variety of art, enjoy your exploration
Pretty neat with the coaster, you have inspired me to maybe try something like this!! I love Ms Jane over at Qutiful Queen Crafts, she did amazing on those pieces for sure. I love Simon Hurley too, those pastes are awesome. Have you tried dragonfly glaze on your eco resin pieces, I love the sparkle that it leaves as well. Great job, really love the coaster! -Beverly
I have tried the dragonfly glaze, it does have a great sparkle and can be used so many ways - thanks for liking the coaster
Awesome Natalie! I usually let eco resins sit for at least 2 hours before demolding. Astro paste? Where do we get it? The jdiction sealer works good. Add a tiny bit of water with the first coat. Use sparingly.
thanks for the update on the jdiction sealer and the tip, I have so much stuff around here, going to work on using up before moving onto another brand, the astro paste, I got that from a craft store, you should be able to find it on Amazon, or you can by from the Ranger website.
Way cool thanks for sharing ❤❤❤
you're welcome
Your laughter is infectious. 😂😂 I love watching content creators simply enjoying themselves, it doesn't have to be serious all the time. Girl, that tealight holder would be seating in a corner collecting dust a year from now if that were me. 😂😂😂 You stayed with it and the result is nice. Thanks for sharing the good and the challenging projects.
Glad you enjoyed the video and creation, some times I can’t let things go when I know there is so much more to be created 🦋
Miss Natalie, as I've said before, I watch TH-cam on my TV. I wish I could comment on the TV, maybe one day. Anyway, I really LOVE the flower side of this. It screamed flower child. I'm a flower child at heart, I believe, I'm a baby boomer(end of boomer years). I also love the abstract side. What a wonderful twosided tabletop. I'm enjoying coming home nearly every day to one of your videos. It's a true treat.❤❤
Wow, thank you!
@@nmbbeingintentionallycreative You're welcome 😊
chuckling...production anxiety is real. If you still think this was all over the place, know that for me it was a relaxing voyage _away_ from one of my hair brained ideas. I love that you thought about weight, I love that you kept going until you were satisfied. 👍
Thank you and your comment made me smile- have a great day. 😃
The coaster is bright and colourful! The styrifoam balls made me laugh but playing and enjoying the process is always good.
Glad you enjoyed the video. 😃
I wonder if you did the light in smaller layers there wouldn’t be as many floating to the top. 🤷♀️
Yes, layering may have been a better idea, at the time though, that idea didn’t go through my head.
Thanks for sharing your idea . The coaster turned out nice. Your candle holder was very cool in the end..
The coaster is cool, I do like the tealight holder more.
Glad you did this they look great
Thanks
first time on your channel,and i like you asking qustions it is like you are just talking to me
Awesome that you like the questions. It helps me to learn as I go along as well. 👍🏻
Is that an alarm in the background??
It has been too long since I made this video so I am not sure what you may be hearing. It could have been my cell phone which I do try to ensure is on silent when making my videos.
I absolutely loved what you was doing on both sides. 1you made me remember a set of funky pouring tools similar to those you have. I had forgotten about them so I’m going to dust them off and try your brilliant idea. 2 I immediately located and brought the puzzle pieces mold from Temu because I must have a go at that too. I want to thank you for doing this project. I won’t be doing both techniques on one piece probably. In not that brave. But I will have a go and mention you in my video as the inspiration for the art. Cheers my friend.
You have lots of fun when doing your pieces. 😃
Looks cool, keep getting 70's vibes from it!
I agree with you re the vibe
I really like both sides, but if I had to choose a side, I would choose the mosaic side and ensure that it is level. Beautiful work -Beverly
Thanks. I am going to redo the ceramic resin side. And the mosaic side does look cool
I think it’s really cool!
Thanks
