I'm just gonna come out and say it, this should be a mini-series where you just find random things, and go "hmm, I wonder what this would look like mixed into resin" and we all watch it and see how it turns out. I've already discovered a couple cost effective alternatives to commercial dyes! Edit: Also, as a suggestion, I wonder what chili powder looks like...
Heres a challenge, make a resin crystal ball, with some mystical colors swirling maybe, then mold your hand as a holder for it in the quick set mold. Drill out the middle of the hand and put some LED lights in it so it lights up the crystal ball! This would be absolutely amazing!
+rasmis I looked it up, and they all seemed to basically be the same: textured soy flour, partially hydrogenated soybean oil, salt, dried yeast, natural and artificial flavors, caramel color, autolyzed yeast, and DF&C red 3.
They're called imitation bacon bits... as in, they're imitating bacon bits. The yeast makes them savoury, and the salt makes them salty. Savoury and salty are the key flavours of bacon. They're inferior, but they're absolutely... imitation bacon bits.
Could you try ground up dried out flower petals? I know when I ground up my rose petals (I added some salt to help grind) I ended up with a very fine pigment that I used for painting.
You need a lot of powdered flower petals, then boil them to extract the pigment, dry it off to get the dried pigment extract, and then use that. It still tends to be pretty weak colour unless you use a really strong dye, like indigo.
Me too. I used pink flower petals and they turned to a dirty white color almost immediately after entering the resin, I think the proteins/molecules which make the flowers turn pink might have been denatured by the heat the resin produced or possibly by the pH change it might've caused. Still looked pretty neat, but it couldn't have been farther from pink
Color ideas: -Google “eyeshadow polymer clay” for info on using makeup. -Google “Kool-Aid dyeing wool” for food color recipes. -Gel food colors like Wilton have less water in them. -If you can get it, Big Red soda. It’s so heavily pigmented, it stains Formica. -Celestial Seasoning teas, especially the fruit Zingers. -Check the clearance at Ulta for cheap eyeshadows. Daiso is also good. -Budget drugstore makeup brands like Wet n’ Wild are good. -Ask someone you know who uses makeup if they have old eyeshadow they can’t bear to throw away but don’t use any more.
Today I finally smelled Epoxy Resin for the first time. My respect for this man (which was already pretty high) has gone through the roof. (Love your channel, seriously)
YES!! That would be excellent! Let's up the ante too - it looks like a freaking landscape, right? Peter, what if you made a 3D landscape river table with dark wood and highlighters? You could make something like a lava or volcano table!
Jessica Rochester Indeed but you don't actually get much. I mean if you buy one and don't like it its a viable use so it doesn't go to waste, but I wouldn't buy it for resin unless its the only way to get that colour.
FYI, toner from a color laser printer works awesome, as does sidewalk chalk. (I've used both.) Ink from a pen is weird - some brands make the epoxy a different color than the ink like the nail polish in your experiment while other brands of ink are more true to the color of the ink itself. (Actually exploited this to my benefit... several years ago, an elderly gentleman from my parents church broke the head off his cane, which was intricately hand-carved in poland. I bored a hole in each piece, epoxied in an oak dowel, and then filled the gaps with resin dyed with pen ink - gaps because the surfaces were damaged when I got it & pieces were missing. When cured, it was almost the exact color as the cane, so I just had to carve it to match the existing pattern. You literally could not tell it had been broken when I was done. =) It lasted until he passed & he was buried with his cane because he liked it so much; I was glad I was able to extend the life of something he loved so much for him.)
Ground pencil lead (such as a mechanical pencil refill) should get you a nice gun metal gray. What about the gooey ink from a normal pen? Black and blue....
Colored pencil lead is fairly waxy so trying to get it ground down could be hard. It might clump up. Graphite should be able to be crushed up into powder and give an interesting look.
Some colored pencil leads are more oily than waxy, but those tend to be the more expensive ones so it's really not worth it over just using proper pigments.
I really enjoy these "will it resin" videos, would love to see another! If you do, maybe try mascara or liquid foundation? (Though, I love everything you do and am happy with anything ☺)
I really like how you experiment and how you explain to us "mortals" process of making things. One of my favorite things are that you show your failures. Just keep to do what you do
If you do a third edition you should try using hair dye. A semi permanent one like Manic Panic or L'oreal Colorista because they're a premixed cream/liquid and they come in so many different colors.
It would be interesting to see what the cheese dust from kraft dinner would look like as a dye! Though it probably would have a similar result to the cheetos. It could also be cool to see what flour, brown sugar, cinnamon and other baking goods or spices could look like as dyes.
+Sebastian Mustermann depends how much you use from the other pigment. If the ratio is more pigment then the fluorescent then it could cover the glow effekt and the opposite the fluorescent would glow if there isn't much pignent an it would tend to the yellow. But if you want green you could mix blue and the fluorescent and still have a good glow without covering it with much pigment.
yes do a third. i am guessing all dry spices will be safe. what about pepto bismol? or cough syrup? what happens with a glow stick? shaving the crayon and smooshing it up won't do much?
I know I’m late to the game here and that this is probably redundant, but.... first, great job on this concept - super impressed with the highlighter - I never would have thought of that!! As for some other colorings.... - achiote / annatto - paprika - Mac & cheese powder - model paints Thank you for what you are doing - you have a new subscriber!!
Holy woodworking and resin gods, my comment from the video was shown 😂😂😂 I WAS infact, up at 2:30 am when i commented that, lmfao Edit: 105 likes and a heart from Peter, damn, maybe i SHOULD write more sleep deprived comments :0 Edit 2: *Try ramen flavor packets, multichrome powder, or a different type of nail polish, cilantro (?), maybe graphite shavings/powder from like pencils, or pumpkin spice powder, they sound interesting*
I'm just getting started in resin casting (I'm so new the stuff I've ordered hasn't even arrived yet!) and these videos are GREAT! Loads of really cool, and importantly cheap, ideas for me to try. I'd already picked up some watercolour paints, but I would never have thought to try makeup, nail polish or highlighters!
You would have issues with water-based markers, but alcohol-based markers could probably have their pigment extracted by letting the alcohol evaporate.
You should do a bunch of different color highlighters! They make them in such a rainbow of colors now-days. I'd love to see something done with a bunch of the pink/purple ish colors to see if I could do something for my daughters room as a sort of magical Unicorn/nightlight/surprise thing.
I don't remember if you've done it before, but what if you did something with color shifting properties? Something that changes color based on the angle of the light?
Billie Kathlynn the turmeric isn’t really gonna change much considering it’s encased in resin- the same wouldn’t be true for color-shifting pigments, so...
Do house paint, want to know if these samples I have sitting around from my renovation can work. Also I Kinda liked the unicorn mould better, more of a variety in depth / translucency. The masks were just pucks of resins.
Based on the mustard and hot sauce, I think these ideas will get a similar result. Soft resin because all those ideas are water-based *except the charcoal, I think that might work
Try a holographic nail polish in resin too. Just make sure not to use a glitter polish that just has sparkly bits, but actual holographic flakey pieces. The nail polish community cares a lot about what's real holo and what's not it seems.
Sean Rea Of course we do! You wouldn't try and pass off an opal as a diamond, so why do some companies insist on labelling iridescent things as holographic (although I have seen the reverse happen)? Both are beautiful in their own ways, but they're not the same.
would love to see what other highlighter colors would look like done this way , maybe as a glow in the dark bowl or cup.. What if you went lighter on the Turmeric? did it go super brown almost red becuase you used so much and less would be orange? or is it just RED? As a very unlikely thing. what if you dehydrated something like Cherries or Blueberries or leafy greens and blitzed them into powder.. do you think they would dye? or just do like the baconbits and settle at the bottom?
I dyed my hair bright yellow with turmeric. It stains EVERYTHING. Edit: if you used resin that cures white with the turmeric, you might get a good yellow.
For the nail polish, yes most of it is acrylic. There are some gel nail polishes that require a special light to cure, but they tend to be more specialized. Used for fine detail work that the indefinite dry time allows.
Yes it will turn into a grey ish colour, ive been making canvas primer (i strech and prime my own) from glue water and baby powder and a bit of wall paint to make it slightly more white
Good quality artist pastels aren't cheap though because they're almost pure pigment. If they cost any less than a couple of bucks each you're buying mostly chalk.
I myself have in fact used chalk pastels to dye resin for jewelry! It works extremely well and depending on how fine you grind it, it can look like sparkles are included.
@missmagic you can get a mid quality set for a decent price though. Especially if you have a coupon and got to one of the major craft stores. Or if you catch a sale at Dick Blicks.
Bacon bits is just happy to be there. He doesn't care he's a failure
He's doing his best
Bacon bits is his own participation trophy.
He don't gotta prove nuthin' to no one. He's Bacon Bits.
He isn't a failure he's just not a traditional success.
thats because he is not a failure
Resin + highlighter fluid + the right molds = some kickass Halloween props.
The highlighter was awesome. Would love to see what the other colors of highlighters would look like.
Try highlighter with wood combo 🤗
That would be awesome!!
Does flourecing under a black light means it will glow in the dark?
No, that's a different thing.
@@davidsanders5788 no I don't think so
Can you create dyes from things found in your backyard? Like smushed leaves, berries, flowers, or even rust? That would be so cool!
Rust would be interesting to try, lots of different colors can occur.
Rust sounds like an amazing idea
I’ve used rust
yes mineral colors would be awesome the green from oxidized copper ther i a lot o sand an earth pigments
I've been trying to get Alec Steel to send him shop dust for years... might be pretty rusty by now... XD
- Instant coffee
- Milk powder
- Rust
- Ash
- Charcoal dust
I can verify that charcoal works very well to dye resin black. The charcoal sticks for the art store made into a powder works great.
I'm just gonna come out and say it, this should be a mini-series where you just find random things, and go "hmm, I wonder what this would look like mixed into resin" and we all watch it and see how it turns out. I've already discovered a couple cost effective alternatives to commercial dyes!
Edit: Also, as a suggestion, I wonder what chili powder looks like...
Joseph Haynes yes!! i love this idea!
it'll be like 3 oz max of resin each time to. that's such a good idea
yassss
Should have tried that matcha japanese tea powder
I thought the point was to find things that were LESS expensive than commercial dyes 😂
would still be cool though
matcha and spirulina are both much less expensive if ordered by the kilogram. I use ebay.
If you decide to do a third edition, how about cinnamon?
cinnamon isn't soluble, so i wonder if it would be a bit clumpy and hard to mix in....
+
mpbx3003 Yeah but cocoa powder is meant to be dissolved in something, cinnamon isn't.
would it be considered a wood working project if he does decide to use cinnamon?
Cinnamon need to be infused yo extract some colour so I dont think it work
Milked a highlighter? I have highlighters Greg. Do you think you could milk mine?
You Fokker.
🤣
Heres a challenge, make a resin crystal ball, with some mystical colors swirling maybe, then mold your hand as a holder for it in the quick set mold. Drill out the middle of the hand and put some LED lights in it so it lights up the crystal ball! This would be absolutely amazing!
I would love to see you use nail powders for this. They're only a couple dollars online and you can get really cool holographic and multi chromes.
YES
Peter: *sees Bac'n-Bits suspended in resin* "That's pretty nasty."
Also Peter: *eats pulverized Cheeto off the tip of a popsicle stick*
slimkt duality of man
He didn't show the ingredient list from the bacon bits. What a tease. As a non-American that would've been interesting.
+rasmis I looked it up, and they all seemed to basically be the same:
textured soy flour, partially hydrogenated soybean oil, salt, dried yeast, natural and artificial flavors, caramel color, autolyzed yeast, and DF&C red 3.
It's mental that they're allowed to call it “bacon” anything.
They're called imitation bacon bits... as in, they're imitating bacon bits. The yeast makes them savoury, and the salt makes them salty. Savoury and salty are the key flavours of bacon. They're inferior, but they're absolutely... imitation bacon bits.
Could you try ground up dried out flower petals? I know when I ground up my rose petals (I added some salt to help grind) I ended up with a very fine pigment that I used for painting.
Flower petals were the original organic dye. Should work no problem.
×
I've put flowers in resin, and the resin just eats up the color.
You need a lot of powdered flower petals, then boil them to extract the pigment, dry it off to get the dried pigment extract, and then use that. It still tends to be pretty weak colour unless you use a really strong dye, like indigo.
Me too. I used pink flower petals and they turned to a dirty white color almost immediately after entering the resin, I think the proteins/molecules which make the flowers turn pink might have been denatured by the heat the resin produced or possibly by the pH change it might've caused. Still looked pretty neat, but it couldn't have been farther from pink
Color ideas:
-Google “eyeshadow polymer clay” for info on using makeup.
-Google “Kool-Aid dyeing wool” for food color recipes.
-Gel food colors like Wilton have less water in them.
-If you can get it, Big Red soda. It’s so heavily pigmented, it stains Formica.
-Celestial Seasoning teas, especially the fruit Zingers.
-Check the clearance at Ulta for cheap eyeshadows. Daiso is also good.
-Budget drugstore makeup brands like Wet n’ Wild are good.
-Ask someone you know who uses makeup if they have old eyeshadow they can’t bear to throw away but don’t use any more.
Today I finally smelled Epoxy Resin for the first time. My respect for this man (which was already pretty high) has gone through the roof.
(Love your channel, seriously)
Highlighter River Table sounds like an awesome project....
PLZ PETER DO THIS^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
YES
YES!! That would be excellent! Let's up the ante too - it looks like a freaking landscape, right? Peter, what if you made a 3D landscape river table with dark wood and highlighters? You could make something like a lava or volcano table!
And in different highlighter colours??
Yesssss
You should totally make this a series
Next time try fruits and vegetables. Dehydrate them and grind them up. Berries would probably be best but what about beets, carrot or peppers.
Me: "oh he's gonna crush the crayon up"
*pulls out a blow torch*
Me: "ok well"
You edited the comment but still got crayon wrong lol
That was my reaction as well.
@logandh2 no? It's spelt right
U could true freeze dried fruits ground into powder or chalk
you should do another resin painting but only use these homemade dyes
The bacon bits and cheetos gave surprisingly cool effects.
Can you do holographic or multichrome powder?
I second the holographic powder!
YES HOLO!
Holosexuals where you at!!?? 💅
Using holographic nail powder? Ali express sells it very cheaply.
Sargya Velagaleti there's dozens of us, literally dozens... it is a shop channel tbf
Peter if you do another one of these try nail powders.
I've tried it and it works. You don't need much either but they can be expensive
If you order them online from somewhere like Born Pretty Store you can get some for like $2
Jessica Rochester Indeed but you don't actually get much. I mean if you buy one and don't like it its a viable use so it doesn't go to waste, but I wouldn't buy it for resin unless its the only way to get that colour.
Carolyn McAfee I see holo and I think Cristine from Simply Nailolgical. Lol
Yes I use nail chrome powders all the time! Great effects.
You should make a whole project with the highlighter as a dye! That would be so cool!
i dye yarn with berries and onion skins? also red cabbage juice reacts with certain vinegars and turns a super vibrant royal blue
FYI, toner from a color laser printer works awesome, as does sidewalk chalk. (I've used both.) Ink from a pen is weird - some brands make the epoxy a different color than the ink like the nail polish in your experiment while other brands of ink are more true to the color of the ink itself.

That's a cool story. Good work.
Ground pencil lead (such as a mechanical pencil refill) should get you a nice gun metal gray.
What about the gooey ink from a normal pen? Black and blue....
As an addendum to this- use graphite bike lube it's the same stuff
Graphite or colored pencil lead
Colored pencil lead is fairly waxy so trying to get it ground down could be hard. It might clump up. Graphite should be able to be crushed up into powder and give an interesting look.
Graphite would be really cool
Activated charcoal would be better because graphite is typically mixed with clay.
Some colored pencil leads are more oily than waxy, but those tend to be the more expensive ones so it's really not worth it over just using proper pigments.
You can get just powdered graphite reasonably cheap that'd probably work well, it's used as a lubricant in small mechanisms like locks.
If you use clear acrylic powder & opalescent flakes it would make pretty faux opal. Also embossing powders would be cool.
You should definitely make this a series! Love it 👍🏼☺️
I like the idea of this, a new reoccurring show of will it dye?
I really enjoy these "will it resin" videos, would love to see another! If you do, maybe try mascara or liquid foundation? (Though, I love everything you do and am happy with anything ☺)
How about using a mortar and pestle on Coffee grounds? And maybe even flower petals?
Even easier than that would be instant coffee, or maybe Turkish coffee
I really like how you experiment and how you explain to us "mortals" process of making things. One of my favorite things are that you show your failures. Just keep to do what you do
Always love watching you come up with these nutty experiments! Glad the resin liked it, too! Thanks for the shout out!
instead of the cheetos you could have used cheese powder (think cheap macNcheese) the bacon bits are just soy product dyed with food grade pigments
If you do a third edition you should try using hair dye. A semi permanent one like Manic Panic or L'oreal Colorista because they're a premixed cream/liquid and they come in so many different colors.
Emily Fish that is such a great idea!!!
That would be so cool!!
Those vegetable based dyes contain a lot of water, so the resin most likely wouldn't harden, unfortunately
Using different highlighters to make a black light resin sculpture would be neat.
Would be cool to try things you find in your back yard! Leaves, flower pedals, wild berries, seeds, etc! Very cool video. Thanks!
That green!!! Really impressed with the paint.
It would be interesting to see what the cheese dust from kraft dinner would look like as a dye! Though it probably would have a similar result to the cheetos. It could also be cool to see what flour, brown sugar, cinnamon and other baking goods or spices could look like as dyes.
Can you mix the highlighter with another dye to make fluorescent resin in different colors
I'd be interested in that as well. It should work.
+Sebastian Mustermann depends how much you use from the other pigment. If the ratio is more pigment then the fluorescent then it could cover the glow effekt and the opposite the fluorescent would glow if there isn't much pignent an it would tend to the yellow.
But if you want green you could mix blue and the fluorescent and still have a good glow without covering it with much pigment.
+
Why not just get a different color of highlighter? Sharpies come in a rainbow of colors
Maybe put some of the test pieces in sunlight for a month or in a tanning bed for an hour. The food based dyes might fade rather quickly.
Wow that highlighter is fantastic. Definitely my favorite. I can see many, many uses for that.
These are really cool, and there are probably a TON of different things to try. I would love to see this continue for a while.
Gonna try the highlighter as part of a knife handle that’s so cool
I wanna see that!
I can't see those masks as anything but multicoloured Strong Bads.
That's what I thought too!
TROGDOR!!!!!
Same here. LoL.
the color is slightly wrong, but a giant glow-in-the-dark 'the cheat' would be awesome
All-new limited edition *green* mask StrongBad!
Ultra-rare angry glow-in-the-dark StrongBad!*
Super-common happy bac’n bits StrongBad
*Requires UV light to glow
Can you make secret wood Minecraft torch?
this is a very good idea
@@Zombiewizard Thank you!
Dooo iittttt
Yesssssss! Do it Peter!
yes just yes
yes do a third. i am guessing all dry spices will be safe. what about pepto bismol? or cough syrup? what happens with a glow stick? shaving the crayon and smooshing it up won't do much?
I know I’m late to the game here and that this is probably redundant, but.... first, great job on this concept - super impressed with the highlighter - I never would have thought of that!!
As for some other colorings....
- achiote / annatto
- paprika
- Mac & cheese powder
- model paints
Thank you for what you are doing - you have a new subscriber!!
How about mixing the highlighter with some of the other homemade dyes?
Holy woodworking and resin gods, my comment from the video was shown 😂😂😂
I WAS infact, up at 2:30 am when i commented that, lmfao
Edit: 105 likes and a heart from Peter, damn, maybe i SHOULD write more sleep deprived comments :0
Edit 2: *Try ramen flavor packets, multichrome powder, or a different type of nail polish, cilantro (?), maybe graphite shavings/powder from like pencils, or pumpkin spice powder, they sound interesting*
My husband and I just started playing with resin. It's been nice crafting together. Thanks for the continued inspiration! :)
These home supply pigment videos are giving me life. Rockin’ awesome channel, as always!
3:02 Mrs. Brown :" You gonna die ! "
Mr. Brown : " NO ,imma dye"
ive use spray paints in a lot of my resins. they come out really nice and semi translucent
Keep this as a series please I love it.
Try beef bouillon cube. I think it will work and turn reddish orange.
How about baby powder, magnetic powder or beets?
Destiny Reidel I was thinking beets too!!
Rust?
Magnetic beets
What?
@@soop597 beets are really red in colour. you'd probably get something really nice out of them.
I dont know about beets. The water in it is the issue
Oh you’ve gotta make a project with that highlighter resin! Looks so awesome
I'm just getting started in resin casting (I'm so new the stuff I've ordered hasn't even arrived yet!) and these videos are GREAT! Loads of really cool, and importantly cheap, ideas for me to try. I'd already picked up some watercolour paints, but I would never have thought to try makeup, nail polish or highlighters!
Well, if the hi-lighter worked, what about plain ol' markers?
Wonder if the Mr.Sketch smelly markers would smell at all....
You would have issues with water-based markers, but alcohol-based markers could probably have their pigment extracted by letting the alcohol evaporate.
You should do a bunch of different color highlighters! They make them in such a rainbow of colors now-days. I'd love to see something done with a bunch of the pink/purple ish colors to see if I could do something for my daughters room as a sort of magical Unicorn/nightlight/surprise thing.
I don't remember if you've done it before, but what if you did something with color shifting properties? Something that changes color based on the angle of the light?
ZoieFuia turmeric changes color based on acidity!
Billie Kathlynn the turmeric isn’t really gonna change much considering it’s encased in resin- the same wouldn’t be true for color-shifting pigments, so...
I love seeing the relationship between Peter and his wife. Always a pleasure
Love the highlighter mask. Very awesome. 👍👍
Do house paint, want to know if these samples I have sitting around from my renovation can work. Also I Kinda liked the unicorn mould better, more of a variety in depth / translucency. The masks were just pucks of resins.
So cool! Can you try more natural clothes dyes? Like beet juice, tea, activated charcoal, blueberry juice? Love the channel!
Based on the mustard and hot sauce, I think these ideas will get a similar result. Soft resin because all those ideas are water-based
*except the charcoal, I think that might work
Saw the notification and was here within seconds!
Yes, Please more! All color of the highlighter rainbow!
These are so fun. I just watched #3 and went back to watch the other 2. Great!
Try a holographic nail polish in resin too. Just make sure not to use a glitter polish that just has sparkly bits, but actual holographic flakey pieces. The nail polish community cares a lot about what's real holo and what's not it seems.
oooh, he could do a collaboration with SimplyNailogical
I would love that. I've said it three times already. Peter and Cristine would do an awesome collab
I am so happy I could more Simply fans 😂
Sean Rea Of course we do! You wouldn't try and pass off an opal as a diamond, so why do some companies insist on labelling iridescent things as holographic (although I have seen the reverse happen)? Both are beautiful in their own ways, but they're not the same.
Chalk pastels?
Thought about that too
Hmm, I'm gonna have to remember the bacon bits one for Halloween decorations. Thinking grotesque meaty hands with bone showing.
Can you use
white out
color chalk
Ink from a pen
This could be its own series. Love it.
I'm sure the Simply-squad wants to see holographic and duochrome powders in resin
I never even CONSIDERED chrome powders omg!
Yes puhlese
Simply squad definitely wants to see that
holosexuals represent! I want to see Peter and Cristine do a collab, it would be so epic!
Ramen noodle seasonings, easy Mac powder cheese, powdered sugar
would love to see what other highlighter colors would look like done this way , maybe as a glow in the dark bowl or cup..
What if you went lighter on the Turmeric? did it go super brown almost red becuase you used so much and less would be orange? or is it just RED?
As a very unlikely thing. what if you dehydrated something like Cherries or Blueberries or leafy greens and blitzed them into powder.. do you think they would dye? or just do like the baconbits and settle at the bottom?
Heck yeah! Thanks Peter.
Also I've had really good luck with alcohol based ink.
You could try the powders @saltyseattle uses to color her pasta.
I think that you should do cinnamon in your next video.
I wonder what tumeric looks like if you use much less of it
Thinking of using this to fill the small voids in a Red Eucalyptus slab I am working on.
The red color is due to a chemical reaction so using less of it will just make it less red
I dyed my hair bright yellow with turmeric. It stains EVERYTHING.
Edit: if you used resin that cures white with the turmeric, you might get a good yellow.
The original video was my favorite, happy to see a second one. Would definitely watch if you make more!
Peter this was an amazing experiment and a 100% success!!! You continue to amaze us in each video you make!! My favorite maker on TH-cam!!!!
You should consider doing something with sand and resin, I think it would come out rather interesting.
You should try emptying several highlighters into resin art, make a cool glow in the dark piece.
Wow the highlighter came out great. You should turn something using different colored highlighters.
For the nail polish, yes most of it is acrylic. There are some gel nail polishes that require a special light to cure, but they tend to be more specialized. Used for fine detail work that the indefinite dry time allows.
I really like the water colors and the hilighters!!! Can you do more of those two? Like the different colors. Super neat
Yes I've been waiting for a new video
I love your videos your voice is soothing 💜💜💜💜
You could try talcum powder. I'd guess it'd be a primer grey if it works.
Yes it will turn into a grey ish colour, ive been making canvas primer (i strech and prime my own) from glue water and baby powder and a bit of wall paint to make it slightly more white
A dedicated cheap whirly-blade coffee grinder for potential pigments might yield even better results than the mortar and pestle.
I had the same thought.
Love the highlighter I think you can get Fluorescent powders also
The paint was an awesome idea! And the highlighter ROCKED! LOL
Try common household spices, cinnamon, black pepper, salt, paprika, and maybe dried oregano or any herb.
A resin bowl with different highlighter colours might be cool
I think chalk pastels would look really good, give you nice rich color, not stuff like sidewalk chalk, actual decent chalk pastel art supplies
Good quality artist pastels aren't cheap though because they're almost pure pigment. If they cost any less than a couple of bucks each you're buying mostly chalk.
I myself have in fact used chalk pastels to dye resin for jewelry! It works extremely well and depending on how fine you grind it, it can look like sparkles are included.
@missmagic you can get a mid quality set for a decent price though. Especially if you have a coupon and got to one of the major craft stores. Or if you catch a sale at Dick Blicks.
I’ve watched your channel for ages and I finally started making stuff using resin! I owe it all to you. Thanks for having great content
i want all of these fun little bitty molds for neckerchief slides.
