Hi I'm Wendy a resin artist and crafter.
In this video I am trying out three different ways to back coat pieces that have had a druzy mould in them using vista cascade resin.
I wanted to have a solid back colour on these placemats and still use druzy moulds. So to accomplish this I needed to either fill or cover the crystal areas before coating the back completely.
I try three different methods. Out of those three, there is only one which I wouldn't use again, but I am still happy with the results.
Which way would you choose or do you have another idea??
I hope this video inspires you and helps you create beautiful pieces as well.
Come over to Instagram and say hi, I love to see what other crafters have
made.
Thanks for watching
Wendy

Love how experimental you are. Have you tried gold leaf, or flakes? I made a little 1:12 scale picture frame, using a silicon mould and UV resin. I dusted the mould with mica powder and I mixed a little in too (not too much, the light has to get in lol). When I took it out it was pretty transparent still (held up to the light) and a bit sticky - so I dusted some more mica on the front and UV lit it from the back. After all that I still didn't think it looked solid enough, so I glued flakes of gold leaf all over the back. Whew! Mental but at least it was only tiny. xx
I have put flakes in things, but haven't used them much Tbh. I haven't had the pull to them yet 😂. They haven't grabbed me and said use me in every 🤣🤣 you know what I mean 🤣. That must have been fun to do though. Thanks Val 😀👍
I love the Mica Powder .. definitely my fav x the tattoos are great too :) cannot wait to try a Druzy ! xx
@Art4start is now selling to the UK again 👍 I highly recommend her moulds. Thanks Hun 👍. The one you like is the easiest one too 😹

Those turned out beautiful, very stunning ✌🏼🤍😊
Thank you very much 👍😊
I am always learning something from you, thank you.💜👵🏼
I’m so glad you find my videos useful 😀😀❤️👍
Thank you. I've seen the druzy inlays and couldn't get my head around what they were. (I thought you left them in the mould. Doh!) A brilliant tutorial and I love the texture technique on the back. It was really effective.
I am glad you found it helpful 😀😀😀
I do love druzzies 😂😂😂
There are so many types now too from crystal to bubbles and dragon skin 😀😀😀
Thanks for your comment 😀👍💖
I love purple! 💜 💜 💜 You might be my spirit animal! 😃
Well I am a Leo 😀😀💜👍
They are all beautiful 🥰
Thank you Lorna 🤗😊👍
They all look beautiful in my opinion great job
Thanks so much Geneva 😀❤️👍
Gorgeous I love all three 😀
Woohoo a full house. Thank you very much 😄😄😄👍
Those are cool, Wendy!
Thanks so much Billy. I just received your sticker so I will put it in my next video. Thanks so much 👍😁
I prefer the one with the mica powder!
Good call and it's easier too 😜👍😁
Those are beautiful. Thank you 😊
Thank you 💜
My favorite was the second and third one that you did I really think the color came through a lot better and accented the druzes better whereas the holographic paper you put down I mean you can see the holographic but it doesn't really accent all the edges and bumps of the druzy part but that's just my opinion you know I have real crystal Drew's he's here at home and when the light hits them it's like a dance of rainbows you know and if you want to do that in resin then you want that same effect you want that Shimmer shine glistening glittery iridescent glitter might have made it a little bit harder for you to see it but but I think the second two were very wonderful if you would have pushed that paper down in or maybe even used more of a holographic foil instead of the paper or card stock, but they all were amazing but my 2 fav were the 2nd and 3rd one!
Thanks very much Bobbie. I totally get what you mean about the light dancing 🕺, I think the third one wins in the opinion section 😂. I'm not keen on the second one myself, but I do like the third one too. 👍😃
They are beautiful.
Thank you so much Rebecca. 💖
Very kind of you to say 😊😀👍
You are truly amazing😁 The Queen of Druzys 👑
😂😂😂 thank you so much, you are too kind ❤️👍
Well done Wendy another good video great
Thanks very much Terry 💗. You are very kind indeed 👍😁
You could try sealing the mica powder druzy areas with clear uv resin then put your background colour on.
When you put clear resin of any type on to clear resin the pattern or effect is lost completely 😳
So to keep a clear crystal effect it won’t work.
But thank you for commenting and watching 😀
Happy crafting 😀👍❤️
@@Toonpish thank you for explaining that to me, I am learning every day 😊
very nice Wendy
Thanks 👍 you are a nice guy Brian 😊
wow there gorgeous
Thank you Colin. Thank you very much 🥰
They all look good. Thank you for sharing your experience with this.
Have you thought of either using a foil in the durzi (not sure on correct spelling area.. or try use that area as a shaker.. granted if you do try the shaker idea, might be better on something much smaller.
6:58 You would be wanting to use the clear flim and uv resin together, just a tip for it, want the uv not to come to the edge of the piece, just used a a seal like in durzi, then dome. Other wise if dropped it will pop off.
liquid to use for a shaker is baby oil, or distilled water, you can either color the liquids with food coloring, or ink that is friendly to the liquids, or glitter or powder, even small charms. I have found adding the sparkly bits or charms and mix them together before pouring into hollow space keeps them from forming into permanent clump.
hope my explanation is not to confusing, want to keep you from frustrations.
Saying with much love, Don't forget gloves. I really do not want you getting ill. You are a very vibrant person. And with all powders are you wearing a mask?
Think you would have fun with this experiment.
Thank you for this 😀😀
Yes I ware ppe all the time 😀
Appreciate you commenting 👍💜
@@Toonpish I'm glad, so many creators use ppe only when working with resin, and don't when playing with powder.
Really pretty Wendy 😍 xxx
Aww thanks so very much Valerie 💖. Very kind indeed 👍😄
@@Toonpish Hey no problem Wendy, I love your videos, I learn something new with everyone I watch xxx 💜💜💜
@@valeriescraftyattic3337 thanks honey 😘
Oooh, I think my favourite is the mica powder, followed very closely by the holographic paper. These are very pretty! 🤩🤩🤩
Thanks so much Hun, for me it's close but I think the holographic wins if I hadn't messed it up 🤣🤣🤣
Love this idea. Instead of putting mica on druzy you could brush the resin druzy then pour topcoat. Keep mica from being on druzy silicone. Way to go I just ordered large druzy inserts to cut up like that. I also filled silicone into a resin piece let it set up and made Extra inserts. It worked. Thanks Wendy for such informative and inspirational videos. Hugs Sheryl 💙🎨💙
I’ve used druzy moulds as masters too. They are handy. Thank you so much Sheryl. 😀👍
Fab Video, love your commentary, you tell us all the little pitfalls and how if we want to avoid them. You make crafting creative. Thank you 👋
Aww thanks very much 🥰. That has made my day 😘.
I think all of these turned out great. By the way, i received my tiny little inlays today, im afraid to use them for fear i won't be able to find them to remove them😂 you are multi talented thats gor sure. Thanks for sharing your talents with us
Good luck! You can do it 😀😀😀
While you were making them I didn't think I would like the one with the rainbow (plastic/paper?) and it ended up being my favorite one! I think druzy spaces would look great with a mica mixed into resin and poured in too. I didn't know this druzy mold pieces existed till this video. Love your content. Thank you!
I am glad you liked the video 😀😀😀
The mica powders idea I considered but thought A solid colour would take the Crystal effect away and would just look like stone. However a translucent colour could work well 😀😀😀
Thanks for your comment 😀
Happy crafting 👍
I honestly can't choose. They're all so faab. Thanks for sharing x
Hehe thanks very much honey 👍👍👍👍
I had an idea to put the mica powder on the space where you took the druzy out. I never thought to put it directly on the insert. I love that look. I never ordered any druzy, even though I love the look but not when it is left open. Now I can go get me some druzy's. Yay! Thank you for doing this experiment.
Aww that is so cool. You are very welcome indeed and I hope you enjoy using them as much as I do. Have fun and I'd love to see the results. ,👍😁😁😁
Love the mica color and thanks for video
So glad you like it 👍❤️😊
brilliant! I'm happy you included the close-ups at the end, so I could see better. I'd love to see what black does behind the mica powder, but all these are quite lovely!
Black changes everything lol. And white does too. But there are a lot of pigments design to be on those colours and work best for it. Some however just look naff 🤣🤣🤣 thank you 👍😄
Stunning as usual! Love the way the mica sparkles in the Druzy 💛
Thanks very much Elizabette imagine what they would look like with peacock colours or metallic flakes. So many things to do and so little time 😜 👍😁
Hi Wendy, Great video. My favourite was the second one right up until the stills at the end when the Holographic Paper one just shone and became my favourite. Grat explanation of how you do this as well. Take care Wendy. Cheers, Huw
I see what you mean, like you said though the holographic one is amazing. Thanks for watching huw 😁. I've got ideas for the pen blanks lol you got my mind racing lol 😁
@@Toonpish 👍
Wow new subscriber absolutely lovely!!!!
Thank you so much Chayy. Check out my latest video and enter the giveaway 🤭😮🤭🤭 thank you for Subbing 👍🤞😀❤️
Thank you so much for sharing this! I have always wondered if there was a way to backfill the druzy as I was worried it would lose all it's definition. I made some coasters with a round druzy piece in the centre and over the space of 6 months where the centre is so much thinner it has started to sort of bow so there is a bit of a dip which can cause the coaster to sucker on to the bottom of the cup. Bit of a disaster, but now I might just remake them using one of your techniques. Thanks again 😊
You are totally welcome Coral. 👍😀
I know what you mean about over time it moves, resin is an unpredictable thing 😂😂
Good luck with them and have fun 😀
their Beautiful but what would i use them for? fantastic job
Placemats? Or druzzies 🤔🧐😀😀
I use the mats underneath plant pots or vases and the druzzies go in so many of my resin pieces 😀😀
I hope that helps 😀👍❤️
Hi Wendy you are so talented please tell me how you made your druzy's
If only I was that talented 😂😀
I bought them from art4start 😀😀
She is the talented druzy maker 😀😀👍❤️
May I ask, did you put the foils in backwards? Yo me, it looked more colorful on the opposite side. However, all turned out beautifully. You have yourself a new Suby here❤
Hi there miss adkins 👋👋
I think I put them the right way round 😳🤔 but it was quite a while ago and will have another look to see 😀😀
Thank you for joining my little channel 😀❤️👍
I think it's pretty cool without those patches on the sides.
Druzzies are very cool 😀👍
Hi could you please do a video on how you made the druzys.
I don’t make the druzzies 😳😳 but I will try soon 😀😀💜👍
@@Toonpish ❤️ ok thank you. I know when you practice making the druzys your going to be awesome. You got this ❤️

HI Wendy, please can you answer a question When you pour clear resin over your tattoo when it is Fully cured Does the tattoo stay the same colour or Change colour thanks Lin 👍❤️
It stays the same Linda. No change at all 😀❤️👍
@@Toonpish HI Wendy, Thank you so much for taking the time to answer my question I really did appreciate it thank you………I have only been using resin for a few months so very new to it all any help & Advice is very welcome once again thank you so much Wendy 👍❤️ Lin
Purple rose are my absolute favorite 💜 and I too am not a fan of green. Btw what does toonpish mean?
Toonpish is named after an old cat we had who loved Tuna Fish 😂😂 we called her Toonypish which was then shortened 😀😀❤️
I love Binging your videos! This idea was fantastic! Also with the foil from the first one if you did heat behind it wouldn't it shrink to the design of the drusy? And then maybe fill them with clear and then back coat it with color??
Honestly it’s been a while since I watched this video and honestly I can’t remember sadly 😖 but your ideas sound good to me 👍💜
Their lovely What was the white bits called what you put in the trays with the tatoos please
They are druzy pieces.
The link where I bought them is listed in the description and I cut a large one into pieces.
Hope that helps 😀👍
Hi! Ive just discovered your channel and im really loving your videos. I really love the idea of using tattoos, just wondered how long they would last? Do they fade easily?
Well I’ve been using them for a few years now and not noticed any change in them.
Resin does yellow over time however so bare that in mind 😀❤️👍
Hope that helps 😀👍
Thank you for replying to me i appreciate it! Not many people bother which is frustrating because im trying to learn. Thank you
You are very welcome 😀
for these molds how much resin do you use to fill it?
It's been such a long time since I have used them .... I will find them and get back to you but If you want to find out how much you need to make for a mould then you can fill it with rice and measure the volume of rice. I hope that helps 👍
How did you make the druzy pieces you used?
Hi there. I purchased them from art4start online. I believe that the link is in the description box 😄👍
❤💛💚💙💜🌈🌠
😀😀❤️👍
Can anyone tell me Where I can purchase the druzy inserts crystals ?
www.art4start.com/
Hope that helps 😁
