Absolutely adore how your wavescape turned out! It's so stunning!! Thx for sharing!!!:)💙💙💙💙💙
Thank you, Chris! Always so happy to see your art.
Hi Chris, Thank you so much for this video. I am new to using resin and found your video so helpful. Just simple things like using the electricians tape! Love the end result! Please keep the videos coming.
Wow! Very beautiful!!!
❤️
Wow. Beautiful piece, Chris. Thank you so much for doing this video.
Beautiful pour! You are my favorite resin artist. Not only because I think all your pours are gorgeous, but also that you think everything through! I really appreciate your insight and willingness to share.
Gorgeous! Love the white negative space. I love the color combo too! Truly excellent!
Thank you so much for posting this. I love your resin art.
This is definitely one of my all time fav Resin Art pieces. Just love it 😍
A very talented couple. Your husband is very talented!
beautiful! your husbands work is stunning as well.. i like the shaping of the orb stand, nicely done
Incredibly gorgeous. Thanks for sharing.
Hi Chris! So much 'good stuff' in this vid!!: Your gorgeous pour, your hubbie's fabulous work, his fantastic idea for a leveling platform! I, too, suffer from Internet Woes, I totally understand that issue. Thank you for going ahead with this! Karen ❣🙋♀️👍
LOL you gave me the nudge. I sacrifice upload speed for a pretty good download speed so it takes forever to load. We can’t take credit for the leveling board idea. I saw it in one of the facebook groups after the frustrations of living in an older house where every surface is just a bit off.
WOW!! So gorgeous. Mesmerizing to watch this. I must try.
Absolutely gorgeous!! You have a true gift for colors and blending them together beautifully! Blessings. Thank you for sharing..
Thank you so much Crystal. 🌺🌺🌺
Beautiful and love the hubs wood resin works as well 🥰💕
Oh Chris. I have so missed seeing your videos. Thank you so much for making and posting this video. The colors and the placement are perfect !! Love your Husband's work as well. I am too busy gushing over your Art at the moment.
Beautiful wave scape and technique! Thank you.
I love it Chris Cross. I think I might have found myself a new hobby. I love how interesting and abstract these are.
absolutely stunning thank you so much for sharing you have inspired me to take on my long overdue project
Gorgeous!!
Awesome work!
Tell your husband he does beautiful work and it's nice to see his work also thanks
Stunningly beautiful, wow, I love it!
Both you and your husband are so talented. Love both of your works. Thank you so much for sharing
Thank you so much Beth. I pass all compliments on to him. LOL its quite funny to see him blush. 🌺
Chris Cross I started playing with resin after watching your videos. You inspired me.
The resin / wood “cup” is really cool.
Thank you Beth. The cup is gorgeous. Its still a new thing but he is working thdough all the little hiccups. 😀
Loving the end result. Thanks for sharing :)
That's beautiful!!!!😍
Aloha, I just had to say I'm very happy to have found you and to see all the art you do and also taking your time in answering everyones questions. You are truly a talented artist AND a teacher on top of an amazing person. Mahalo from the Big Island of Hawaii. 🌋🏝️🏖️🌊
Luv you and your huby's work!
Thank you so much 👍🏻
Love the ocean pour.
Stunning!!
I love it! The orbs are gorgeous
Thanks Erin 🌺🌺🌺
The colours are gorgeous the ‘paw print’ in it is too cute!
😋😂
Love the colors
Clever lady and gent. I have to get my husband busy making the leveler for my granddaughter and me. He’s not a wood turner ( and your husband’s are gorgeous) but an old car(1950s) restore enthusiast. He’s going to hate me interrupting for a job for me, but I’ll eye twinkle him in to it. Bwahaaaahaaaa. A spectacular result...as usual.
LOL We cant take credit for the levelling board ..... tripod levelling is an old woodworking thing and I saw the boards on LIF. One thing I learned was ziplock bags have a way round. LOL you need to put the slightly longer piece on top or it fills with resin and ruins your legs hahahaha
Chris Cross giggling.
Stunning 🤩
"WOW"
BEAUTIFUL
OMG THAT'S GORGEOUS!!!😯
Harry thank you. 🙏🏻🌺🌺
The blue is a great colour making a great contrast.
Thanks Chris, I know that I am a pest and you already have plenty to do. Love you and your art!xx
Happy to help if I can
Hi from Australia thanks so much for your time wonderful work, and video
This is awesome !!!
Hi Chris. OMG..Absolutely Beautiful. Colours are so gorgeous. Love your technique. You explain so well. Great. I am learning Acrylic pours.Cant afford resin. I learnt so much from watching 100's of videos LOL. I have been doing pours on quarry rocks. Had no canvas and i love rocks. Anyway, I was about to turn off my computer and seen this. Had to watch eh. You are truly gifted and so very kind. Spectacular blending. Your tips are so helpful too. Much appreciated watching and now I will watch again. True magic this is. Cheers from Girt, Australia bush country
Oh thank you. Have fun with your creativity.
It looks like your husband shares your artistic talent as well. Great!
Gorgeous 😍
so excited to watch this thanks so much for sharing your talent
My Pleaseure. 🌺🌺😍

Beautiful!!
One of my favs as well thank you Paula 🌺🌺
Stunning! I’ve subscribed 😍
husband work is gorgeous as well!
Thank you.
re-doing it...wtf the first try was beautiful! You know....sometimes accidents are amazing!!!!!!!!!
😄 I liked the first one as well.... It was just not the colour I wanted. Both are special in their own way.
I want to try another Waves cape I’ve only done 1! Yours is so beautiful 😁
Thank you. Go for it and enjoy. The colours are wonderful
Beautiful ❣
First video I've found of yours! Excited to watch more and learn about resin. I pour currently with acrylics. Always looking to expand and learn
Really nice !
Perfection!!
Gorgeous
Amazing!
So beautiful
More please. Just lovely.
LOL. Thank you
Love this
Quite gorgeous my friend, I swear you are magical. 😜
Laura my wonderful friend. Thank you for your continued support and encouragement. ❤️
Nice 👍
Very beautiful I haven’t done resin in a while.
Thank you so much. I haven't done any resin for ages either. Lucky hubby is still incorporating resin in his woodwork so all my surplus does not go to waste.
@@crisscross104 awesome looks beautiful
Just so glad I’ve found you so easy to follow you and I must say nice and clean and tidy.
Husbands work is just fabulous please tell him… Can I ask are you from Aus. Or NZ or have I got it completely wrong 👍
Thank you 😀 I am Australian
I love it
Beautiful Work! How much resin are you using in each cup, and is it ever different for different colors?
Since you're re-doing the one you showed in the beginning, could you have also gone over it with the new paints/dye? Or would it have not been enough coverage of white over the old pigments?
Yes I could have gone over the previous one but I prefer the stark white of the new pigment over the white board. You can mix the white very opaque but you may still get a ghost image of very dark undertones of a previous pour
I would be interested in seeing the edge appearance after removing the electrical tape. Does the resin leave a clean edge? Or do you need to use a blade along the edge first for a clean edge? How do you finish the back and sides for sale?
Debbie, It is a bit easier for me as I don’t sell my art. To finish I let the piece fully cure, then using a sander I clean off any stray resin from the back and paint a neutral colour. The sides are very clean from the tape so I sand if it needs it and replace with clean tape, foil or paint. I prefer sharp edges rather than resin flowing over but that is a personal preference. You can also of course let your resin flow over the sides for a more rounded look.
This is very nice
Chris, Can I ask where do you get your painting surface? I have looked on line everywhere but can’t seem to find a similar item. Yours is perfect for what I want to do. Thanks in advance!
Hubby cuts them from sheets of MDF. They are 40cm diameter.
Love those colors. Can you tell me where you got them from?
Love the effects. Do you ever use a hairdryer or is the heat gun better because it gets hotter?
I use torches, heatguns (two sizes) hairdryers and airbrush, I like to work with resin on the cool slow side. I suppose each tool has its role to play. Torch for bubbles and lacing, heat gun to thin blend and spread, hairdryer for wider movement, airbrush for quick flashes of movement.
Just found you this is spectacular. How long does the resin take to dry? I am doing acrylic pouring but I’d love to try this ❤️
Thank you. ❤️ This is epoxy resin and all the brands are slightly different but as a general. Light touch cure in 4 hours, first hard cure over night or 24 hours and then fully hard 3-7 days depending on your environment, hot climates are quicker, cold climates are slower. Each brand should give you an information sheet on its particular properties.
Very nice beautiful jobs
Hello Chris. Thank you for sharing your method. May I ask what the proportion of pigment to resin is?
That is a tricky question to answer. All pigments, powders and inks made specifically for resin use are very highly pigmented and you can alter the opacity and tone by how much you put in. It doesn’t take more than a dab on the end of a stirstick to give you a rich colour. More will almost give you a black. The liquitex inks are less pigmented and so I use about a dropper full for a rich colour and less when I want a lighter or more transparent colour. It would be wonderful if there was an accurate measure to give you a particular colour but in my experience you tend to gravitate to a value or depth of colour that suits your style. I admit to being heavy handed with mica because I use high viscosity resin and I want it to stay where I put it. LOL
Just wondering if the resin will stick to the tape for the last pour or is it just taped on for the black look?
The resin does not stick to the plumbers tape so it is removed after the piece has cured. I then add a clean strip to get the black edge look.
i love this so much, can i ask what the white pigment is? i couldn't catch it in the video
The white is a pigment paste called snow white from an Australian company called Artisue. Its a lovely white to work with.
Haven’t been able to you find you again til now. You do such beautiful work. How did you learn this art. You are such a perfectionist and so neat. I love your work.
I started using alcohol ink on yupo paper and making faux wood designs, i would cover them with clear resin. Then I found acrylic ink and how to colour resin. I learned by being hands on and just experimenting.
Wow beautiful ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
Thank you so much 👍🏻
Hi Chris, can you tell me how many days should you wait before giving your piece a second flood coat to hide imperfections?
Sorry Mary I missed this. Different imperfections will have a different answer. If you have dust or raised imperfections..... you will need to sand smooth before a flood coat. 2-3 days before you can sand. If the imperfections are dips or dimples you can pour after the initial cure of your resin. Normally 4-5 hours or the next morning.
Hi I've been seeing a lot of videos on TH-cam and checking out a lot of materials. I have never done a peace but your pieces are fantastic . I would like to know because some people talk about resin and other people talk about epoxy are they talking about two different materials or is it the same thing. And is it possible to color them with any type of paint pigment or inks. Also is it possible to have part A of the resin or epoxy all ready with the Colours you want just stored there for when you nees them or will they go bad. Sorry for all the questions.
The terms are bandied around but for art purposes. Epoxy is a type of resin that is mixed together. There are different types of resin and epoxy is one of those types. Pigmentation of resin depends on the combination you have. I have used everything from ink to powders to paint with differing results. I hesitate to say definately as I have had some colourants that do not mix well. When you start off use colourants specifically designed for resin and once you get comfy with it then experiment. Resin art is all about how the resin cures. Try to keep your mix as clean and carefully measured as you can. In short, Yes you can use some part A and store for a short period but unless you have a pigment that is difficult to mix it can be wasteful to have it sitting around potentially unused. Resin has a shelf life so fresh is best and gives you the best cure....... Which should be your goal.
Wow I’m really new to resin but just love the look of it. I have had loads of stuff ups with room being to hot. I just found your videos and can I say you are the easiest to watch, plus you take the time to explain even the little things that others miss. Your videos are super for us beginners please keep them coming when you have the time, just love watching them. Your work is amazing, can you tell the best place in Oz you have found to buy resin and paints, my local art store is pretty expensive. Plus my end goal is to resin a glass table top, 60cm round. Can you advise as to which resin would be best to use as the table is for outside, plus should is paint the glass first to give the resin something to grip on too. Thank you in advance. ☺️☺️☺️☺️
Sadly resin is expensive so I tend to wait until sales or discounts come up. The types of resins for outdoor use are normally the countertop resins. Make sure they have proper UV filters in the resin. First up let me say that I don’t really do anything with outdoor furniture. So a few things you might want to consider. Whichever resin you decide on it will expand and contract in heat and even soften if exposed to the high temps we get in Australia. Your glass table will also go through significant expansion and contraction. I highly doubt they will do it at the same rate which potentially will lead to delamination even with a paint grounding layer. Secondly you will need to consider the quality of pigments. Cheaper pigments, inks and dyes are not lightfast and will fade and change quickly in UV light. If you can and the table has wonderful legs and base I would switchout the glass top for a more stable braced and sealed wood panel. Resin is a wonderful medium and I am sure you will have a lot of fun with it.
You. Are. Amazing!!!!!!!!!! NICE!
Yes but Your amazing too Carl.
Your husbands woodwork is awesome❤️yours too
Thank you Lyn
can I use acrylic colors or glass color or lacquer color to pigment the resin? And should I use sandpaper after finish?
Resin is designed to be a top coat. You would only sandpaper it if there are imperfections and you need to fix before putting on a final coat. Yes you can you other pigments to colour your resin but....... a big but..... Only you know the temperment of your resin and the different colourants. Do some very small experiments by mixing a few of the different colourants into a small amount of your resin. Only use a very small amount of colourant. See what happens to your resin. Every combination will be different. Some with mix, some will disperse and others will stay clumpy.
How are the "inks" different than the regular acrylics or the pigment mixes? Sorry, I'm not sure about the terminology.. Are the inks made for this application, or are they intended for calligraphy? Are all these different mediums, the resin and the Liquitex, etc. all water based?
The liquitex acrylics are water based and can be used for most multi media projects. The Snow white paste and the teal inks are specifically made for use in resin. You need to be careful of the water based pigments and test whether they have adverse reactions to resin. Too much moisture and your resin will react leaving with a hot sticky mess. The same would apply when you use water based paints.
Would you possibly share what the blue/green color is...I love it. Great job?
Julie. Thank you. I tend to mix them up by eye using a combo of the liquitex 4 blues and greens. Not an exact measure but between the 4 blue green shade, deep turquoise, Phthal blue and phthalo green.
Can you tell me what you use to clean up reusable bowls or tools after using resin.?
If you are using reusable bowls then either turn upside down on some baking paper or leave a stir stick in the bowl and use that to pull out the cured resin. With my measuring cups I wipe out the main excess with a paper towel and the remainder with some handy wipes. Same with tools. Wipe with disposable handy wipes
Is your preference a heat gun over a torch to get the resin flowing? Why so?
I use both depending on what I am trying to achieve. First the torch. A must for spot work, clearing bubbles and when you need some finer detail. Heat guns on the other hand tend to heat a larger area so (I use a low heat and speed setting). I use when I need the resin to get to an even temp. Don’t forget your hair dryer, its another valuable tool for moving resin.
❤️❤️❤️❤️
Have you had any problems with any of the pours peeling from the wood or glass? I have been doing resin and micah and acrylic paint on tile, I clean the tiles first with alcohol and then pour. So sad, I have had a few peel off. It is very disconcerting.
Nancy. When I use tiles I normally use the matt ones and like you clean thoroughly. If I happen to use gloss I sand lightly to scuff the gloss coating. All my mdf boards for resin are primed with house paint front, sides and back. But I gesso for acrylic paint pours. In the early days I did have some minor lifting but that was completely my own user error and using the wrong tile. Try and make sure your tile is the same temp as your resin when you pour. Heat it slightly first.
Oh thank you so much. These are floor tiles. Not really glossy, but I will sand from now on. It is so upsetting to have them lift. This is quite awhile after they were poured, too. I will also make sure to really clean them with the alcohol. I love this resin, micah and acrylic. They are so beautiful. All because I saw your video. Thank you so much. I love your videos, and your accent!
Lol thank you Nancy i am so glad you get something out of them. Happy pouring. 🌺🌺🌺
How much do you seek those for? I love the one you just did.
Thank you. I don’t sell my pieces. I just enjoy creating them.
hey Chris! first of all I am in love with your channel and videos you're such a pro painter and artist!! actually I need your help because I am a bit lost.
I have a Mdf circle 50cm board, I have mixed the same quantity of resin and hardener but the problem is that I am not being able to know what is the exact ratio in a cup between resin and the painting some people say the amount of paint should be 10% comparing for the resin, for example if we put 10ml of paint in cup we should add 100 ml of mixed resin and hardener ( I am using all type of paint as I noticed in your videos such as acrylic, water based, spray etc .... ) and is it crucial to use alcohol?? I really appreciate your reply, keep it up the great work. thanks !!
Firstly all paints seem to have their own point of failure when mixing with resin, the amount of water is determining factor. The general rule of thumb is that adding more than 10% of any additive will effect the bonding reaction in your resin. If you want a mild soft colour then you add less if you want deep opaque colours you add more. (To a max of 10%) I would love to have a standard formula but sadly it changes all the time. 🙃 it is not crucial to use alcohol it is just a thinner to even our your mixes.
I like the other one also. Like both 😀😎
Oh my...you could be making a bundle...
