Can you update the fresh flower ones again in a few months curious to see if they keep deteriorating. I kinda like them as they are now. Like someone else mentioned they look vintage
The silicone chunk "hack" is true! I do it all the time. Wet silicone sticks to cured silicone. Just make sure your chunks aren't too small and trap air bubbles. I pour some silicone and then drop in the chunks to fill space.
I had the same type of fail! I couldn’t figure out why my piece was so flexible but my resin was also pretty thin and I used quite a bit of ink too. Thanks for solving the mystery for me haha! For your dark corner in the background, what if you put LED lights into a block of resin and made a lamp?
I wonder.... If you could grate the silicone mold with a cheese grater. Or even grind it up in a blender. Cause I worry if you just did chunks if it would cause problems... But otherwise it seems like it would work fine to use it as filler. Can you do a video on it?
I just learned something from you today !!! You suggested to place place the flower up side down !!! I am ready to start with orchids, since I grow them and have quite a selection of colors and sizes to try !! I do want to make specially coasters and medallion to start with, since they are small ones !!
Had a flower idea for you. I have heard that using glycerin water for a week before drying, will make the flowers more resilient. I can't remember what the water/glycerin ratio is but I have definitely seen dried flowers that had soaked up the glycerin were much more vibrant. Was wondering if that would make fresh flowers or dried ones in resin would look even better? I love dried flowers in all their variations but thought I would offer something to test.
I love this video so much. You're one of the resin artists I look up to when I make my own resin stuff. And i have had MANY fails. I hate throwing away pieces so I usually save and give them to my friends. Your videos help me so much! Thank you!
I'm playing with Resin today for the first time! Because of you! You make it look so fun. And Now I love it! Thank you. Can't wait to pop my Creations out for the first time tomorrow!! I'm so excited!!!
I wonder if you could put the old mold material in a food processor and shred it to real small pieces. You would have to do small batches but it woukd be so worth it!
I just want to say that I’m SO happy that I found a TH-camr who actually takes the time to explain how stuff works. I recently found one of your videos and I’m obsessed! Thanks for everything! Can’t wait to see the next video.
Every fail video, your hair attacks you and you describe it in great detail lol- first video was a nose hair tickling the end of your nose. 2nd video, you had a hair across your face driving you crazy. 3rd video is your eyelashes hooking together trapping your eyeball. (I'm binge watching your fail series all in a row, so that's probably why I even noticed, lol.) I like that you leave those kinds of moments in your videos, instead of a jump-cut and editing it out like most other people do, you're just so much more real and I love you for it.
You are adorable, and I love your videos. And yes, I really appreciate seeing your "fails," because they show your learning process and how you did a bunch of things that I probably would do, too. I get to learn from your mistakes, and that is REALLY helpful to me.
I have a tip for you for spheres but it’s kind of hard to explain without showing you what I mean. You need to do them in layers, especially the two piece sphere molds. You want to do the seal in it’s own layer so you can pour it until you are close to the seam and then let it cure and do the seam and let it cure and then finish the rest. The seam is where bubbles are most likely to form since no matter what you do, there tends to be a perfect place for air to get trapped. I’m not sure how to do flowers since you really need them to be sealed all at once or the resin cooks the exposed areas but you can still experiment and figure it out. If you do the layer thing, it should help.
I like when you show that your putting on a respirator. So many ppl are so unaware of how dangerous resin can be. Maybe you can show that more often to make ppl aware? :)
Well using the silicone to fill some places so you can save silicone sounds like a great idea but, just a thought... what about if you mix a little bit of the new silicone and you fill the little holes were it ripped so you can kind of fix the mold you already have.
WAIT! I know this was kind of a joke maybe but I am obsessed with your makeup and if you ever did want to do a makeup video... I’d be HERE for that. Enjoying your videos as always! Thanks for sharing your “fails” (they are all pretty anyway!) it’s very interesting to see!
You should make a video of wich type of epoxy resin you prefer. (Uv. Or mixing each parts.) And what the downfalls and good things about each type. cause ive only used uv resin and it seems to be tacky and sticky after i cure it with the uv light. Also it sometimes doesnt want to set correctly and will still be wet underneath and will have set and hardened underneath.
Love your channel totally motivating to make resin myself... Others kept my attention but you make me feel like I can do it. Already a crafty person and on Etsy so you pushed me to step up my game lol
How much resin do you use at a time? Like 1/8 of an inch, and inch and so on? What mold spray do you use so your piece doesn't take some of your mold with it when you take it out?
I watch alot of you videos so I'm confident you can help me!!. How do I get finial products clear I am messing up somewhere in the sanding/polishing part and it's soooo frustrating...save me
Is there anyway to fix uneven resin for wedding bouquet? My mom had my wedding bouquet preserved in resin but it turned out terrible!!! It’s uneven, sharp, and the resin isn’t covering all the flowers :(
Hello, I was wondering how do you get all the flowers to stay in the mold? I have done coasters but some of the flowers are above and bumpy, how can I make it smooth ? Thank you
about the mold thing, I tried doing that and it worked for me BUT I do believe it's best that you use the same type of silicone and mix it the same as possible.
Got a question! A little desperate for an answer lol. My little sister had some flowers from a funeral that she really wanted to save but followed the advice of others instead of coming to me first and both sprayed them with hairspray and put them in the freezer. Is there any possible way to save these flowers to be able to put them in resin. Everything is telling me even if we go straight from freezer to silica they're still going to turn into mush.
Have you ever tried dying white flowers THEN trying the fresh and dry experiment? Just cut fresh white flowers then put them in warm water with food coloring (not sure if alcohol ink would work but hey...why not try that too) and wait for them to achieve the color you want, then proceed as normal. Could get black roses, purples, all kinds of colors, just not sure how well it would preserve in resin...
Omg I love your video's, they're so creative and inspiring. Excited to see what you do next 😁😍 it make's me want to start my own resin journey 😁 pressing that notification bell, love your stuff girly 🤗
Hi there..... I’m a newbie at resin art.... I’m having trouble with some colors mainly purple turning brown once the piece is cured..... Do you have any advice??? Is it the ink??? Is it the resin???? Please help!!!!! I love your channel by the way!!!! You inspired me to start trying resin art!!! 💜
hi I started a resin project and it didn't go well and now I have lots of scrapped domino pieces that don't look like dominos haha. I was wondering if you know if resin is recyclable once cured? I've seen some things that say yes and others say to dispose properly but I think that may be referring to uncured resin. Thank you for the help :)
Hello, I just found your channel and I loved, I just started learning about resin and u are the perfect teacher, thanks. I saw u are following dannerbuild but I need to know where to find an alphabet letters big ones, can u help me?
I have a question. Have you ever tried to put coral in resin? My friend has a few pieces of coral from their great grandmother. I was wondering if the resin would destroy it? Also i really love your videos! 💜
I just did my first resin piece and it was a fail in a few ways. I bought self adhesive laminating sheets to attempt protecting butterfly wings when suspended in resin. However the adhesive does not stick to wings well so the resin was able to seep through and damage the wings. It still looks cool because the wings end up looking like stained glass but the laminating sheets don't stick well together so you can see it through the resin. Another reason it was a fail was because i got the heat gun too close the lamination sheets and it crinkled. It was a learning project i knew it would probably fail I have an important butterfly to preserve I gave to my late grandfather ( the shadow box it was in got damaged), Will be working on the next butterfly piece I purchased the lamination machine you used previously and have already successfully laminated a butterflies wings with it. I think this time wont be such a fail...
I feel like that's such a huge part of resin & creating in general. Testing things out & sometimes failing but failing is how you learn how to get it right! A lot of people are afraid to try because they don't want to fail so that's awesome that you went for it & now when you do your butterfly piece, it'll come out better! I'm so happy that the lamination machine worked for you!! You've got this! ❤
I'm curious if you have any dried flower pieces that have faded over time inside the resin...? I have seen some people saying that you have to seal the dried flowers with some hairspray or resin sealant before you stick the dried flowers in resin so that 6 months down the road, they still have color. Have you had any of yours lose color?
I couple of my rose pieces have lost a bit of their color over time but I do think that there are certain flowers that do well in resin & flowers that don't quite hold up. So I also have pieces I made last year that are still colorful! I try to avoid doing flowers I know will lose its color.
I love your work id like your opinion on if i should use a casting resin or the normal resin in a mould i just want to make coasters thankyou actually anyone like to answer this question thanks
Thank you so much!! So I'd use casting resin because it sounds like you want to cast an object so I think casting resin would be perfect! As long as the coasters aren't too thin, some casting resins can be slightly flexible especially if the piece is really thin.
I just got that moulding stuff in the mail, I ordered it before I saw this fail video.. Is everything you made with it ripping? or just the heart dish?
You are soooo cute✌🏻🌈 You inspired me and i am trying to resin art 🙂 especially in these pandemic days, it really helps to motivate myself. Thanks from Turkey 💕
Instead of using pieces of the heart mold as filler, why can't you touch up those small pull away parts with fresh mold putty? I'd try that first instead of wasting that mold. Thanks for sharing.
I bought everything I need, resin, moulds, heat gun, I have tons of dried flowers pressed and dried in silica gel but... I am too scared to try it :(( Got to watch more of your videos. P.S. I am scared because here in Canada the resin is VERY expensive.
Uhhh everything was going so gooood. Then when I had to start adding the flowers I didn’t know pouring the resin too thick would cause it to start smoking a bubbling. Luckily my mold is fine it’s just now it’s not clear! It had a bunch of bubbles 🥺
So I just had the same "bending" resin piece (too much ink in it) and I decided to try to bake it with polymer clay - just to test if resin melts or something. BUT! It has gotten exellently firm! Like glass. So that's a hint for this topic. ^_^ (But i tried this only one time, approx.10 minutes in 120°C)
Can you update the fresh flower ones again in a few months curious to see if they keep deteriorating. I kinda like them as they are now. Like someone else mentioned they look vintage
Wait what omg the first ones look so beautiful 😭 they look so vintage (:
I liked them like that too haha
I love them! She should put them in her shop ❤
I agree
The silicone chunk "hack" is true! I do it all the time. Wet silicone sticks to cured silicone. Just make sure your chunks aren't too small and trap air bubbles. I pour some silicone and then drop in the chunks to fill space.
I do this all the time too. Also use the same type of silicone since different silicones have different hardnesses and flexibility.
Thanks, I was wondering about that and was really hoping someone would comment on it. Definitely going to give it a try with my next molds
I wish i knew this before. I just tossed some molds I made that were mess ups XD oh well now i know
"... And it didn't know what to do with itself. *Can relate." ❤
when you were showing the poppy mirror and had it turned towards the camera. idk why I was expecting to see my reflection lol
Saaaaaame!!
Can we talk about how good you do your makeup.. I would love to see how you do your eyes 👀
Ms. Batista omg yes!!
her technique is as good as the colors! i LOVE that shade she's wearing in this video, and she wears so many other great ones, too! :)
That plant in the back looked like Side Show Bob with the lights out lol
I just discovered your channel a few days ago as im getting into resin art. You helped me so much! Thank you so much!!
I had the same type of fail! I couldn’t figure out why my piece was so flexible but my resin was also pretty thin and I used quite a bit of ink too. Thanks for solving the mystery for me haha!
For your dark corner in the background, what if you put LED lights into a block of resin and made a lamp?
This explains why my “test” pendants never properly cured!
I wonder.... If you could grate the silicone mold with a cheese grater. Or even grind it up in a blender. Cause I worry if you just did chunks if it would cause problems... But otherwise it seems like it would work fine to use it as filler. Can you do a video on it?
I just learned something from you today !!! You suggested to place place the flower up side down !!! I am ready to start with orchids, since I grow them and have quite a selection of colors and sizes to try !! I do want to make specially coasters and medallion to start with, since they are small ones !!
Oooooo what if you did feathers in the resin?! There’s like colored feathers at michaels or like real type. I think it would look super pretty!!
We love these fail videos because we think its only us when we flop and its nice to know even a resinista like you make the occasional flop

the 1st ones were super vintage! me likey!!
You are a blast to watch. I don’t resin but I enjoy your videos!
I wonder if you could put the old mold material in a food processor and shred it to real small pieces. You would have to do small batches but it woukd be so worth it!
I just want to say that I’m SO happy that I found a TH-camr who actually takes the time to explain how stuff works. I recently found one of your videos and I’m obsessed! Thanks for everything! Can’t wait to see the next video.
So...are you gonna re-make that heart dish mold?....I LOVE THAT!!
Have you thought of getting a pressure pot to get rid of bubbles? It seems to work super well
Your eyes back and forth cracked me up.......both times. Oh ya, also very good advice.
Every fail video, your hair attacks you and you describe it in great detail lol- first video was a nose hair tickling the end of your nose. 2nd video, you had a hair across your face driving you crazy. 3rd video is your eyelashes hooking together trapping your eyeball.

I like the fresh piece,,,looks antique

The ornament piece - I literally just made the same fail. I just started and as soon as you showed the piece I was like “ooooo, I did that “
Love these ! My fail pile is growing 😂😂 but each time i learn!
exactly! fails are a blessing in disguise!
You don't fail... you either succeed or you learn 💜💜💜
Love your videos! you are so pretty and your eye make up is lush! I have failed coasters with keys and tiny watch parts in..what can I do with them?
Well using the silicone to fill some places so you can save silicone sounds like a great idea but, just a thought... what about if you mix a little bit of the new silicone and you fill the little holes were it ripped so you can kind of fix the mold you already have.
You can also use the mold and brush on a thin layer to fill in the holes.
WAIT! I know this was kind of a joke maybe but I am obsessed with your makeup and if you ever did want to do a makeup video... I’d be HERE for that. Enjoying your videos as always! Thanks for sharing your “fails” (they are all pretty anyway!) it’s very interesting to see!

The little mirror isn't a fail, it just needs to be sanded to a really fine grit and buffed to a shine. Totally save able!
I was thinking the same thing, because it turned out beautifully!
Love your channel totally motivating to make resin myself... Others kept my attention but you make me feel like I can do it. Already a crafty person and on Etsy so you pushed me to step up my game lol
Could you please tell me what resin you are using as the one I have leaves bubbles your resin is crystal clear. Many thanks Maralyn
Can you do a video on how to get rid of the seam on a sphere? Do you just sand and then Polish with something?
Your “fail” videos are wonderful (and very helpful)!
Great tips, thank you 💙💙💙
How much resin do you use at a time? Like 1/8 of an inch, and inch and so on? What mold spray do you use so your piece doesn't take some of your mold with it when you take it out?

You should do make up tutorials! Every time I'm OBSESSED with your makeup!
I love the first ones!!! You should put them in your shop ❤
I love your channel! You are soooo amazing!!!!
You can cut up the silicone to use again as you said - as long as it's the same type of silicone. Tin and platinum won't stick together!
Is there anyway to fix uneven resin for wedding bouquet? My mom had my wedding bouquet preserved in resin but it turned out terrible!!! It’s uneven, sharp, and the resin isn’t covering all the flowers :(
Will alcohol inks dye dried/ miscolored flowers without spreading into the resin??
Hello, I was wondering how do you get all the flowers to stay in the mold? I have done coasters but some of the flowers are above and bumpy, how can I make it smooth ? Thank you
You should get a one-piece sphere mold. They have them on Etsy.
about the mold thing, I tried doing that and it worked for me BUT I do believe it's best that you use the same type of silicone and mix it the same as possible.
Hi Heather can you use cooking spray so the resin piece won't stick to the mold?
your makeup is beautiful! you are so artistic
Got a question! A little desperate for an answer lol. My little sister had some flowers from a funeral that she really wanted to save but followed the advice of others instead of coming to me first and both sprayed them with hairspray and put them in the freezer. Is there any possible way to save these flowers to be able to put them in resin. Everything is telling me even if we go straight from freezer to silica they're still going to turn into mush.
Tried putting rose buds in resin 20 years ago. It was an epic fail. The resin burned the rose buds, some even smoked. Haven’t tried it since.
i wonder what would happen if you hairspray a flower and then try to put it in the resin when its dry
I see you use mostly round molds. Is there a reason you prefer round molds over square molds?
I tried to go to your shop, but there is nothing there is it my phone or is nothing currently listed for sale?
Just found your channel and adore it! I really want to try making my own pieces. These videos will help me out so much. 🌸
Just started using resin myself, and I've been loving your videos!!!! Keep up the amazing work ❤️

I've binge watched your videos so much your my number one recommend Lol
Thanks again for the real deal! So helpful.
Congratulation and Thank you for advise!
You are amazing.
Omg I love your video's, they're so creative and inspiring.
Excited to see what you do next 😁😍 it make's me want to start my own resin journey 😁 pressing that notification bell, love your stuff girly 🤗
Silicone 100% sticks to silicone. As long as the mixture youre using says it sticks to itself, using chunks to fill in should definitely work.
Your Makeup is always so pretty! Do you do makeup tutorials too?!?
Did you use releasing Agent when you made the mold? If not, that might be the reason it broke
Hi there..... I’m a newbie at resin art.... I’m having trouble with some colors mainly purple turning brown once the piece is cured..... Do you have any advice??? Is it the ink??? Is it the resin???? Please help!!!!! I love your channel by the way!!!! You inspired me to start trying resin art!!! 💜

Goodness! I loooove your adhd mind... you my type of person ❤️ any tips about bubbles? I’m just starting out on a smaller scale.
Danielle Lykins I find keeping your resin warm really helps if you don’t have things like a pressure pot
Also mix and let sit for 10 min
What is the difference between casting resin and top coat resin can someone please tell me
A part 3 posted on my bday hell yes!!!
Hello dear I love all your work I have question i this got the casting resin u use all the time ;now how long take to cure ready to unmold? Thank u
It's 5:30am but who cares, Artsy Madwoman posted! 🤩
Hi, have you invested in a good respirator yet for working with resin?
Where did you get size square mold?
How would u recycle those failed resin stuffs? I wonder.
I have a question. Have you ever tried to put coral in resin? My friend has a few pieces of coral from their great grandmother. I was wondering if the resin would destroy it?
Also i really love your videos! 💜

My artist resin from culture constantly has bubbles i dont know what the hell is going on 🤬
Will the casting resin you use work to make shot glasses? I have tried 2 types of resin but they get too hot & cause all kinds of fails.
Also want you to know that you are too cute & I just love love LOVE your videos! 💕
New to your videos but I'm truly inspired! Have you ever tried to make resin dice!? That would be cool to see! #foodforthought
I don't remember the heart mold ripping when you made it. And didn't you even make resin pieces from that mold already? I'm confused......
I just got that moulding stuff in the mail, I ordered it before I saw this fail video.. Is everything you made with it ripping? or just the heart dish?
You are soooo cute✌🏻🌈 You inspired me and i am trying to resin art 🙂 especially in these pandemic days, it really helps to motivate myself. Thanks from Turkey 💕
DO YOU THINK THE REISEN IS EXPENSING (sorry for my englisch) //CARINA SCHEMBRI // SWEDEN
Instead of using pieces of the heart mold as filler, why can't you touch up those small pull away parts with fresh mold putty? I'd try that first instead of wasting that mold. Thanks for sharing.
I bought everything I need, resin, moulds, heat gun, I have tons of dried flowers pressed and dried in silica gel but... I am too scared to try it :(( Got to watch more of your videos. P.S. I am scared because here in Canada the resin is VERY expensive.
Uhhh everything was going so gooood. Then when I had to start adding the flowers I didn’t know pouring the resin too thick would cause it to start smoking a bubbling. Luckily my mold is fine it’s just now it’s not clear! It had a bunch of bubbles 🥺
Soooo.. are you every gonna make a geode artsy madwoman??? 😀😀
Oof!!! I remember when you encased the Queen Anne’s lace! It looks like browned mush now! 🤢
So I just had the same "bending" resin piece (too much ink in it) and I decided to try to bake it with polymer clay - just to test if resin melts or something. BUT! It has gotten exellently firm! Like glass. So that's a hint for this topic. ^_^ (But i tried this only one time, approx.10 minutes in 120°C)
