You are amazing Molly! Not only a very talented artist, but so willing to share your knowledge and help teach us newbies. I appreciate you so very much! ♥️♥️🇦🇺
An oldie but goodie, Molly! Love this set! I am about to make some for gifts and wanted to find a good how-to...I should have known you would have one! Thanks for sharing!! :)
Love your videos! You are easy to listen to and a great teacher. Thank you for sharing your talent!! I am just blown away that you have such perfect outcomes from 3 very different techniques and the same paint consistency! Just fascinating... And you make them all look so easy! lol I've been watching videos for months now and have tried pouring 4 times, and each time i say that "they make it look so easy..but it's sooooo not" lol
Thank you! It gets a little easier as you go along and find what pouring medium and what consistency work for you! Keep trying! Hope you have fun with it!
@@singerislandadventures5018 Wouldn't that be just so neat? But individually, altho none would be the exact same, they would make a very impressive kitchen, or bathroom tiled wall. Oh my, they are so beautiful. :)
This was a very helpful video on coasters Molly... thank you so much... it has inspired me to have a go on my wood rounds this afternoon... I must buy some tiles as i think they would be a lot easier to handle somehow... :)
Molly I have been watching you for at least 2 years now, and I'm just finding out that you do coasters???? WHAT😂 What else do you do? You have all types of tricks up your sleeve 😂
Beautiful tiles! I love the colors. I am thinking of making a back splash using tiles and these would be perfect. Do you have a suggestion for resin? Thank you for your video!
. These are beautiful and what is the silicone for and where can I buy it.. Do you have to dilute the paint?And when I dries you just pour the resin on It??
The silicone is to create cells it is not needed but helps the cells form easily it is an oily substance so you do have to clean it before you put resin on it you can wash the surface of the painting or wipe it down with a lysol wipe or alcohol you can put cornstarch on it to get rid of the oily substance to soak some of it up. I use spot on treadmill silicone oil. I get it off amazon
Love the three styles you shared with us . They are beautiful! Thank you. Three quick questions- 1. Can any acrylics work ? 2. Did you say the that after pouring , you have to cure for 21 days, before resin? I am assuming that just means drying in a protected area ( or anything else involved like baking, etc?). 3. Have you already done your video for cells? Thanks
Hi Molly, so what do you put on the coaster itself before you pour? And after you pour and torch what do you use to seal the paint when done..thank you..I'm very new at this.😊
I decided to do coasters, but do you do any prep work on the ceramic tiles, like "roughing up" the surface? Also, if I want to make trivets, do I use a heat resistant resin?
Hi Molly. Thank you for sharing your expertise. It's such a pleasure watching you create beautiful pieces of art. I am an avid follower. Please advise what name brand of glue you use to put the cork on the back of the tiles. Thanks.
Molly what do you do to the top of coaster to prevent glasses / cups from sliding off the smooth top? Your art is so beautiful. I am doing your art class. Thanks
Molly I so enjoy your videos and am taking your smart Art Courses. Happen to come across this video on coaster put I didn't get what you said on what you use for the resin? Thank You
Make sure the paints are level and thin. If they are too thick they will crack. If they are mixed with too much water they will crack. If they have air flow over them they may crack. It has to do with the evaporation of water and a thing called crazing. You want good drying conditions for the work to dry and cure properly.
What can I use to coat my acrylic painted ceramic coasters that is heat resistant? Everything I have tried, the hot cup sticks. I'm at a loss. I've done lots of research, watched lots of videos. Help Molly, please.
Ok I have a question. I live in Maine and as you know it gets really cold. I don't have room in the main part of my house to let my coasters sit to dry. I do have an unfinished basement but it's a bit damp and a garage but it's about to get cold soon. What do you suggest for me to do? I love the coasters I've done and I'm looking forward to trying the wave like yours. Thanks in advance.
Only this that is concerning is that with cold air and low humidity your paintings may dry too fast and crack. I would place them under a box with a cup of water to dry.
Hi, your cell textures are so beautiful! I would like to do something similar, but do you have a video or link of how you do your color paint mixtures? I can’t seem to find it
What do you mean how I color them? You mean how I mix my paint? I don't normally show that on Gardner, but I always tell the mixture I use in the description!
How do you put resin on without getting drips hard on back? How much resin for a coaster? I did 1 Oz but I gotta get a tool to sand off the drips. Lol.
I added tape to the back and then once the resin has hardened for A-day or so you take the tape off by heating the drips with a torch very carefully and they pull right off you don't have to stand them or anything just make sure you tape the back 1st
Hi! It takes about 2 to 4 weeks to let all the water evaporate so that you wont get clouding. How long depends on the mediums used and how thick your paints are!
Hi! This was from a long time ago. My mixture varies depending on the technique. But its the same as on canvas, i don't change it any. For thin techniques i use paint and water, about 40%, for thick designs i use floetrol, gac800 and gloss medium mixture.
I love your art. Alas, there was no closed captioning and I’m hearing impaired. I’ve lost 50% of my hearing. You nearly always have CC. I just wanted to let you know. The tiles look wonderful. Are the tiles used on backsplashes ? I can see endless possibilities. Love the one with the spiral look and the small area with what looks like metallics are maybe just colors that mixed and came out that way.
Hi sheila! Thank you! The closed captioning is an option that is chosable for the viewer. I have it turned on. Check on the screen for the option to turn on! Sorry that happened! The tiles are bathroom tiles, but they will be for coaster sets! Yes, there was some metallic gold in there! Let me know if you find the closed caption option if not I will have to look into that!
How do you make it look so easy??? I'm just starting out and practicing on the thin Artist Loft boards. How do you -or can you- keep them from pulling the back forward and shrinking in? And is a heat gun ok or do you need a torch?
I would invest in a torch. I would also just go ahead and get some student canvases. The boards almost always warp. They are too thin. You can try painting the back and then putting an x of tape on it but at that point for me it's more work than just spending a dollar more for a canvas. But that's just me. I am not sure where you are, or what stores you have around you.
You are amazing Molly! Not only a very talented artist, but so willing to share your knowledge and help teach us newbies. I appreciate you so very much! ♥️♥️🇦🇺
You were in focus all the time. The coasters were beautiful, thank you for sharing how to do it.
Thank you! It's hard to tell sometimes lol. I will do a whole video just to find out I was blurry!
@@MOLLYSARTISTRY ...and I thought she meant you were focused Mentally!
I was thinking, "Wow! How does she do that?"

Did you coat the coasters first with white?
I love your coasters!
Thank you for sharing your art Molly. I'm obsessed

These are super cool Molly! I can picture a kitchen with a backsplash of Molly Tiles.
I am all over your house remodel!
Singer Island Adventures: Absolutely! I had the same thought in mind when watching the video. :)
Laurie P I was also imagining a giant wave across a few dozen different little tiles that would be sweet 🌊

Thank you I’m so happy I found this video because I’ve been struggling with my tiles. I think I got it now.
OMG Molly, I love the coasters, and I love the cells. Can’t wait for that video. Awesome work!!!
Thanks Shane!
Molly, these coaster/tiles are way too awesome! Absolutely stunning and fascinating to watch them being made. :)
Thank you!! They are fun little pieces of art! love that they are functional too!
So blessed to God be all the glory. Keep looking up Wow.. th-cam.com/video/Ar-pAdtvRro/w-d-xo.html
Beautiful ❤️
Today I will paint coasters. 💃!
Have fun!
They are fantastic! Yes please do a video on cells. You, Karen, Julie and Christina make it all look so easy. It flows. (Bad Paint pour joke!)
Hahaha. Ok, I want it to be comprehensive with multiple mediums and different silicone products, but I will try to make one next week!
They’re so beautiful.

Love all your work Molly, everything is always beautiful!!
Thank you so much milisa
Is there any Spray? Or for TopCoat to make it shine and cover the whole coaster with acrylic paint??? thank you! 💕💕I really love it😍
Love the coasters. Looking forward to your video on cells
Absolutely love watching you!!!
Beautiful !! You are such a great artist and I enjoy watching .
Love the blues it’s so pretty ❤️
Thank you Linda!
Do you have to use specific type of tile when doing these? These are awesome!
Love them all but especially that last one 💜
Thank you!

Thank you so much. Enjoy you so. I have learned a lot
I loved those colours. Great video.
What a neat idea and so beautiful!! Thank you
The straight pour looks like a red onion!! Yes, I've been making coasters!
This is incredible! Im a beginner. Can I get those cells with just the paint and floetrol?
They are all pretty!
Do you use a base coat or a pillow?
I did use a base coat
Ty!
Fabulour Molly love all your stuff, you are one talented girl !!!
Thank you so much!
I decided to do coasters, but do you do any prep work on the ceramic tiles, like "roughing up" the surface? Also, if I want to make trivets, do I use a heat resistant resin?
Molly your PM is it thé same ratio for the colors and base, your work is amazing
Love your coasters. Thanks so much for sharing your method. Do you varnish before resining them?
Thank you! No I do not I just wipe with lysol and alcohol and then resin with stone coat countertop resin!
Thank you for the ideas.
I shall try them on my tiles.
Love this wave
Beautiful Molly!!
Thank you!
Awesome details and effects. Glad I got to see the process, it was fun. 😎👍♥️
Thank you!
Love these! The colors are magical. 💫
Hi Molly love these. are you just using ceramic tiles for these?
These are great. Thanks for sharing!
Pretty colors as always 🤩
I learn a lot from you! Do you always make them with tiles?
Yes I do!
On the wave, did you put white down on the tile first before you swirled the other colors on it?
yes i did
@@MOLLYSARTISTRY Thank you for answering me. Have a great day!
@@tinamcclaskey2872 of course maam! You too!
Hi Molly, great video! how much do you sell your coasters for and how many do you sell in a month? Thanks
Hi Molly. Thank you for sharing your expertise. It's such a pleasure watching you create beautiful pieces of art. I am an avid follower. Please advise what name brand of glue you use to put the cork on the back of the tiles. Thanks.
Can I use a heat gun instead of torch? Love this process
You can
Molly what do you do to the top of coaster to prevent glasses / cups from sliding off the smooth top? Your art is so beautiful. I am doing your art class. Thanks
These are so beautiful!! I wonder if you took 4 inches X 4 inches?
I love all of these! Can you go into more detail about the top coat?
Beautiful! I’m wondering if you need to prime the tiles so the paint adheres. Are they glossy tiles, or does the tile finish matter?
Thank you! For me, the paint adheres with no priming. They are glossy, I personally don't think the finish matters.
MOLLY'S ARTISTRY Thanks, Molly 💓🌷
Molly with using silicone on the tile do you wipe it with alcohol after it dries then resin ? Or should I wash them ?
Yes i wipe it. Washing the tiles peels the paint off for me
when you use the torch how are cells created without silicone? I've tried and nothing happens with just paint. love your work
It depends on the brand of paint and the piuring medium you use. Some create cells when heated and others dont
looks great, but I have a question, when u swipe w/ your knife, are u putting anything on the back of your knife, to "swipe ! ??
Do you use the same materials as you would use for your paint pouring...like the resin or you have to use the countertop resin?
What kind of finish is on your tiles. I tried some that were glossy and I had a hard time getting the base coat to stay on.
Hi Molly great video. Is there any other products that can be used to seal the coasters other than Resin?
I have tried lots of things and nothing else really compares especially if you are going to put hot mugs on them
@@MOLLYSARTISTRY Thank you!
Molly I so enjoy your videos and am taking your smart Art Courses. Happen to come across this video on coaster put I didn't get what you said on what you use for the resin? Thank You
thanks debra, glad you are enjoying the course! i use ks resin now!
Hi, Molly. What do you put underneath your tiles to elevate them above your work surface?
Hi! I was just using little 3oz cups
😍 gorgeous!!
Hello. How long do you allow the paint on the coasters to cure/dry before adding the resin?
3 to 4 weeks
I use stone coat countertop resin as well, but I’ve had some people request a matte finish. Do you have any suggestions?
Hi Molly! So awesome! I am about to start pouring on coasters. I could not find your tutorial on Stone Coat Resin. Please advise.
Your artwork is beautiful! Do you have any advice on how to avoid getting cracks as the paint dries on my coasters?
Make sure the paints are level and thin. If they are too thick they will crack. If they are mixed with too much water they will crack. If they have air flow over them they may crack. It has to do with the evaporation of water and a thing called crazing. You want good drying conditions for the work to dry and cure properly.
@@MOLLYSARTISTRY okay thank you so much! 😊
I used water instead of floetron and I didn’t get the bubbles look. Is that the reason for no bubbles? It still looks pretty
yes :)
Do you ue anything to pretreat the tiles? I just love the waves, so beautiful.
I pour right on them!
Hi Molly, where do you buy your tiles. The ones in Home Depot have slight projections on the sides.
Yes thats all they have now a days. The other ones got discontinued. You can sand or file down those parts though
I missed whether or not you used silicone on the first tiles you did (not the flip cup). Help, please! Thank you so much.
I am an avid follower!
Nope! No silicone until the flip cups!
I did a set! Don’t know how to share the photos with you. But they turned out awesome. Thank you.
Great job! Email me at info@mollys-artistry.com

I'd like to start selling coasters at our local Art in Park next year. Do you add water to each color or floetrol or ?

Do you clean the paint off the backside so it looks smooth?
Yes
Stunning! Do you or does anyone know if she is using tiles to make these ?
Very beautiful!! Do you have a video on the green coasters?
No, sorry
Hello Molly, new subscriber. How long does it usually take to fully cure before you glaze? Love watching. Thanks
Hi! It takes about 2 to 4 weeks to let all the water evaporate so that you wont get clouding. How long depends on the mediums used and how thick your paints are!
you are an inspiration!
Hi Molly! I have coaster that came with cork already attached. Do you think I should tape the bottom of them? Thank-you… from a big fan of yours xo
i would tape the bottom if the cork is already on them! thanks so much!
When you do tiles as your canvas, do you put your PM on the tile before you put the paint on it?
No that was white paint
Do you add anything to the regular house paint?
How do you mix your paints for coasters? Just curious the ratio.
