- Thank you so much for watching! This was a fun piece to create. It is a commissioned piece and got me out of my typical color scheme! And I love that the customer purchased a double canvas (diptych) geode!

A quick note: Some people have asked why I don't share measurements when mixing my resin. I don't measure other than to make sure I have equal parts resin and hardener. Sorry! You will notice that I often re-mix as I go. I don't measure all of my resin at the beginning because I use Quick Coat and it would get hard before I could use it. If you want to know how much to use though, go to ArtResin's calculator and you can see how much to mix! It is at www.artresin.com/pages/calcul...

Thank you!
Truly amazing.
it's very pretty and sparkly!
Thank you!
Wow Rebecca! This is gorgeous. I wasn’t sure how I felt about it till you added the gold and the silver lines. Then it really popped. I absolutely love the 3D parts they’re me favourite. It kind of reminds me of some of Brett Whitely’s paintings. Ps your moon shaped opening totally looked like a smiling mouth with big crystal teeth for a minute there. Lol 😂 ❤️❤️❤️
Thank you! Ha ha about the mouth and I actually wasn't sure about it until I did that as well!
Absolutely brilliant
Thank you!
These are just gorgeous!! Thank you for sharing!
Thank you so much for watching!
Wow...just WOW!
Thanks!
Stunning
Thank you so much!
Beautiful!!
Thanks!
Wow love this one! I think i will have to try doing a hole in one canvas sooner or later...
Yes! Go for it!
Beautiful!
Thank you!
beautiful I love how they turned out and the colors are gorgeous
how much do they weight?
wonderful. you are creative
Thank you so much!
Oh wow. Absolutely beautiful piece. I would love to try something like this on a smaller scale tho. But in still new to resin (about 2 months) and I'm a lil scared to just experiment. Plus buying supplies for the first time can get expensive. They may last a while but it's just the initial start up. But I will eventually give it a try. Again. Love your work. And now I know you are on Facebook I will follow you there as well. Have a great day
Thanks! Yeah, the initial cost is a bit rough. Once you get supplies, don't be afraid. Sometimes things mess up but those are good learning opportunities. I was really scared when I first started and now resin is no problem!
The Frugal Resinista Very true mistakes are learning opportunities. Plus I have learned what I think is a fail someone else actually likes it. I love working with resin and will continue to do so as long as my pocketbook will allow. Lol.
wonderful!
Thank you for watching!
Awesome. Thanks for sharing. I love your videos. I've heard somewhere that if you go over the glue strings with a heat gun they will disappear. Wort trying.
Great idea! Thanks for sharing!
Beautiful love ❤️ thx
Thank you for watching!
If you keep your glue sticks in the freezer and pull them out right before use there will be a lot less strings.
I didn't know that! Thanks for the tip!
The Frugal Resinista You're welcome! I love your work, thanks for sharing your art with us!
Thank you for watching!
Does ur cloth canvas lean down when u use resin on it as i tried it once and resin on the canvas became uneven
OMG i love your work!!! I'm new to this and as I'm watching this video, I really want to try and make this. Do you have a video of how you put topcoat and what you use as a topcoat?? THANK YOU FOR INSPIRING ME!!!
Thank you SO much for telling me that you want to try it! That's why I do the tutorials! I don't have a specific video on it yet. I will add that to my list of videos to create! The closest thing to a top coat tutorial would be if you were to watch the later part of my video #39. I talk through a bit of my top coat at the end of it. th-cam.com/video/nhwiG3IE0kU/w-d-xo.html
Thank you!!!
WOW
Where can I go to buy one of your pieces and roughly how much would a commission piece cost?
WOW !!!
Thanks for watching!
Rebecca, I didn't think you could add a second coat of resin after the first had dried without sanding first. How many coats can you do? Can you just keep going? Love your work
Thanks for watching! Sorry I wasn't very clear on that point. When I pour with quick coat, I typically have my first layer drying at different times and with cracks and different heights and media so I don't have a smooth finish and my stones add a lot of bumps. I pour a clear flood coat right over those because there is a lot to adhere to. If I am doing a top coat on something that is already smooth, then yes, I would definitely sand first! I just don't do it that way often.
wow how much would you charge for something like this? As a set?
I love them! Did your customer?
Thanks so much! Yes she did!
Absolutely gorgeous...awsum work ma'am...💖 i hope to be as good as you one day 😇
You're too sweet! Thanks for watching!
Hello ..love it .. do u have any idea where can we get the material in India ?
Thanks! I don't unfortunately. :( There is a Facebook page if you search "Resin Geodes" and ask to be accepted. I know that there are quite a few people from India in the group. Maybe they could help?
This is awesome 👍❤️💕
Thanks!
question, how did you finish off the sides?
For this one, I taped the edges off level with the canvas and let the resin run over. Then I took the tape off and poured my clear coat so that the edges were shiny and coated in clear resin.
Sooo beautiful! Do you sell them???
Thank you so much! I do sell my art through my Facebook page for now. You can message me there if you are interested. :)
can u mix the sand 8n the resin first and then pour more sand over it
Yes! It will pour a little more chunky so you may have to move it into place with your stir stick.
This is beautiful! How much does something like this cost to make?
Thank you! I couldn't give you the breakdown in terms of things like my blowtorch, etc... but I can remember most of it: canvases=$15, resin=$30, stones/glass=$5, crystals=$3, paint=$2, alcohol ink=4. Hope that helps!
Thank you. That's not bad when people are selling these for $300-$500
@@MicaelaSkyy I know that a rule of thumb that a lot of people follow is to price their art anywhere from $.50 up to $1.00 or more based on their level of experience. Supplies can be inexpensive but time is a LOT! Ha ha!
@@thefrugalresinista definitely should charge for labor. mechanics and doctors do it, why not artist?
@@thefrugalresinista but 50 cent to 1 dollar?
They look great, but to save even more time and money, have you thought about trying the foam boards that Sue Findlay uses? you could simply either dig out a channel for the hole, or take a hammer to it to form a depression.. the small canvasses seem to give you a lot more work to do.
I just started following her but haven't seen that yet. I'll have to check it out! Thanks!
Would love to know how expensive those foam boards are where you are? Over here it goes $Foam board > $Plywood > $Canvas(on sale).
How much was this one if you dont mind sharing
Thanks for watching! I share my prices one on one through Facebook messenger. You can message me there! I'm working on a website but it's not quite ready yet.
ooo the one on the right is smiling sardonically - probably a result of only one eye
Ha ha! Now I'll always see that smile!
Beautiful!
Thank you!
