Such useful content, been watching all the ladies for months, found you in the piggies giveaway, and can see clearly now. Not sure why a males information is so much more structured,and context…. Thanks, Paul from California
Beautiful work, and so nice to see how one can use the tiny blower. Love the little caddy that you have for your paint pots.
Fantastic Mitchell!! Thanks so much for making your vids. It's great to have another Aussie explaining this great technique.
Thank you, Mitchell. Great info and well presented - you're a natural in front of the camera.
Your videos are so detailed and a massive help to us newbies. Thank you so much for your time.

Thank you so much for this extremely helpful tips, I have to say this, you are an INCREDIBLE teacher, the way you explain things is perfect, your so easy to understand & follow. I just watched your bloom blowing technique video & hands down you are the best teacher on TH-cam & I’ve only watched 2 of your videos so fare & I intend on watching all of your videos, so thank you, thank you, THANK YOU so much 🙏🤩🇦🇺
Aw thanks Nathan! I try to explain in terms that make sense to me because that's likely what makes sense to others :)
Thank you, something to think about
Thank you, thank you, thank you
Thank you for another informative, easy to understand, and entertaining addition to your channel
Thanks Mitchell! Lot of good info.! I appreciate learning how to correct the bloom if it should be off center!
Thanks for another great video packed with easy to follow instructions💛
Thank you so much for this series of videos! It has really helped me
Thanks you're amazing
Great video. Thank you. 🎶💞🎶
Youre talented man. Love your videos😊😊
In this video, you mention that you can re-use pillow paint drippings for other projects. If it becomes too thick, how do you thin it out, and how long can it keep for?
You can thin the pillow with a little bit of water, and it will last as long as any other paint as long as it's in an airtight container. It will separate out though to be sure to mix thoroughly before using it again :)
Great explanation, though I have a doubt; You say to use 1 Tbsp of colour paint on the 4"x4" and 2 Tbsp of Colour paint on the 6"x6". Is that 1 Tbsp per colour, or for the total of all colours?
Also could you tell me how many ml in the cups you are using?
In the video I actually measured 1.5Tbs of pillow paint onto the 4" tile. I have not measured exactly how much colour I put down as I drizzle my paints on. I did mention that I estimate it to be about .5 - 1Tbs worth, however it will be totally different depending on how much coverage you want. More coverage: more paint, softer look: less paint.
Forgive me, but could you tell me why “crazing, cracking or flocculation,” would happen if there isn’t enough paint? And would I use a tad less pillow paint so I don’t stretch out my cells as much? All you art looks wonderful, even the ones you call “failures or bad”. I just like all the small cells.
Think of paint like an elastic band that expands and contracts. As the paint dries, it contracts upon itself and if it's too thin or dries too fast, the skin on top rips itself apart as the paint underneath tries to dry. If it's thin, it dries too quickly. And yes, less pillow will mean less stretching
@@rainandpours oooooohhhhhh, I actually think I understand that. Thank you so very much.
Thanks. I have a better handle on it now.
Hi Mitchell. Can you pls tell me more about your spinner setup. Thank you.
Absolutely! If you have a look through the rest of my channel you'll find a video dedicated solely to building my spinner :)
Quick question, I am in USA and loving the little blower, there are so many knock offs. Was there a brand or packaging detail you know of? Thank you 🙏,Appreciate you…
Hey Paul. No there wasn't anything specific on the package different to what I've seen globally. However your power delivery system is only 110v over there where ours is double and a half at 240v, so literally throwing more power at the blowers. Also the battery ones are terrible haha get a USB one and it'll work far better especially plugged into a wall socket with direct power supply.
Love it 👋
Hi - great video... always a help!
If you don't mind - I'm also always interested in people's setup.
So you have a box, wrapped or coated in something that is "easy to scrape" while you're doing your Blooms.
Can you describe that ? I know it may be obvious - but sometimes it's those simple things that help make the work area better/easier to work in.
Thanks
I have a whole video showing exactly how to build it :) th-cam.com/video/a78N91qgfnU/w-d-xo.html
Hello. I would like to know what do you do with the paint that you scrape in the cup after spinning? Do you use it for something special?
I use it as pillow paint for the next lot of coasters I make :)
Thank you for the video. Mitchell, how many ml are in your Tablespoons please? Thank you
I use 20ml tablespoons as I'm in Australia :)
Yes. I was going to ask the same thing cause I remember Shelee saying that in Australia a tablespoon is 20 ml. So you are using approx. 30 ml(1 1/2 Aus Tablespoons), does that sound correct. Also thanks so much. I moved at the beginning of the year and just getting started back on doing Blooms and struggling so I've been going through your videos as a refresher. You are awesome and explain everything so it's easy to understand. Hugs from Texas!!
What did you mix your paints with to get cells ?
Australian floetrol :) This is the Sheleeart Bloom technique
Is that 1/2 tablespoon each color? Or all of them together?
All together for a 4" tile :)
So you are saying a Tablespoon of paint in TOTAL?
That depends on the size of your canvas.
Hi
Where do you get the flip Los containers for paint I have looked everywhere?
They are baby food containers. Varying availability around the world but mostly eBay and Amazon.
What is the box on your spinner is that a permanent thing.
It is permanent. I have a video on my channel showing how i made it :)
@@rainandpours Sorry but I checked the video Number 8 and it’s about paint volume not how you made the box ,I am looking in the wrong place ?
I'm unsure as to why you thought video number 8 was about the spinner but video number 28 is the one you are looking for :)
Hi Mitchell, could you please give us the brand of your mini blower please ? thank you very much :-)
They aren't branded at all just called the world's smallest blower :)
@@rainandpours I found them !!! under the name : MINI BLOWER ... thank you :-)
Except a US Tablespoon does not equal an Australian Tablespoon!!!
United States tablespoon is approximately 14.8 ml (0.50 US fl oz), a United Kingdom and Canadian tablespoon is exactly 15 ml (0.51 US fl oz), and an Australian tablespoon is 20 ml (0.68 US fl oz).
So - In the US to get 1.5 Australian TBS, we need about 2 US tablespoons.
US cups are also about 240 ml to your Australian cup of 250 ml.
Yes that is something I'm aware of haha. My tablespoon that I used for the video is actually a 15ml spoon as well. That's part of why I mentioned the little trick in there as well so you can judge the amount needed without using a strict measurement. It's paint and it doesn't always follow rules like we'd like it to so knowing visually how to measure it out is better than using a tablespoon or cup etc. Thanks for pointing that out too though as it can be important when mixing paints for pouring mediums.
