wow wow wow Wendy - this is beautiful - well done on persevering with it ! :) xx even though you said Alooooooominum- I still love you ! ha ha ha ha ha
I’ve no clue how to talk 🤣🤣🤣🤣 I wonder how I’ve got this far really 🤣🤣 thank you so much honey 🥰🥰🥰
Wendy there’s a lady here in Australia, Julie Cutt, who has a TH-cam channel called Pouring Your Heart Out, good channel actually. Well she has a few videos of making crystals and she’s done it very successfully. I tried to make them, and for the same reason as you, to make a drusy, FAIL,FAIL,FAIL. I don’t have your patience. And yeah I think the “seed” is one of the smaller crystals “you made”, that’s a joke for me. Yours is still beautiful, it will make a brilliant tray and you can cut them up for other projects I guess, but I really like yours makes me want to try again. ❤️
Hi Wendy... was gonna say the same thing about Julie, and she uses Borax that amazon sells
I was going to say the same she gives recipes and very good measurements .. . Wendy You have such great ideas .the thought of making them into inlays is genus ..
I think they may know each other through youtube
Just came to say the same thing! Lol
Julie also kept a lot of seed crystals and said if anyone needed any to let her know! She even has videos about how to make inlays from them.
Wendy, I swear I will "owe my soul to the company store/Let's Resin et al." By the time I try to do what you, Claire, Daniel, and the rest of the resin and crafting community entice me to try! 😂 I love this video and all of your previous ones.❤❤❤
Christine just be who you are and have fun in your craft that’s all I really want 🥰🥰🥰🥰 thank you ❤️
Just making the mould on top of the crystals was good but making the master from that was brilliant! 💜
Thanks Suzzie 😀😀😀 really appreciate that 🥰🥰
Fatakdi alum works best Wendy...I get mine from an Indian foods and spices place online. Just type in Fatakdi alum. Good rule of thumb is 90 grms alum to 200 ml of water....and sieve it as you add it to the container you're using to make the crystals. The sludge you get is too much alum and you're not sieving it. Little tip...put some wood glue in your container and put dry alum on it. When it's dry...that's your base point.pour your mixture onto that. And make sure you cool it slowly..the slower the better.I've grown crystals up to 6 inches across. Well done though..😊😊
Thank you for this❤❤❤
Agree 😀😀
I’m screenshotting this 🤣🤣 it’s a great comment 😀😀 thank you so much 🥰🥰
A few months ago, Julie spent a few months perfecting making crystals. She went through all of her trials and errors but pretty much mastered it. I'd recommend those videos to you! She even mept a lot of seeds and said she would give them to whoever needed one if they contact her. If you look at her videos though, she'll show you how easy it is to make them! She even has videos about making inlays from them!
Thank you 😀😀❤️👍
Your perseverance paid off! You got a giant inlay and a beautiful crystal tray. I can't wait to see how you use your inlays. 😍
Me too 😀😀😀😀 thank you so much 🥰
Turned out gorgeous,I live in Australia, and every time people in the UK say it's hot 28 degrees, I laugh it can get to 36,37 degrees where I live, but I like the heat hate the cold can't wait for winter to be over. Love all of your videos ❤from down under.
I am from England and live in australia and yes i totally understand you
I know I sound pathetic about the temperature 🤣🤣 but we are just not geared up for it.
Shops run out of drinks, you are expected to work through it as normal homes don’t generally have any kind of aircon.
Enjoy your summer 😀😀😀👍
Thank you so much for the understanding 🤣🥰 I don’t know how people cope with 37 🥵🥵🥵
It would be okay if you could just get in the cool water all the time though 😀😀😀👍
Wendy you should feel proud of yourself as I know they are not easy to do 👍😊
We can see the amount of work you have done just by watching this video🤩
Honestly I think my husband was fed up with the word crystals 🤣🤣🤣🤣 every now and then he would say, haven’t you done that already 🤣🤣🤣🤣
Wow, wonderful druzzy inlays making tutorial,Ms Wendy 💜😍
Thanks so much 😊 🥰🥰
Hello from Canada, Wendy! What I got out of this is that you must have the patience of a Saint! For me, it wouldn't just have been the resin that was blue! The language would have been blue, the air black, and the whole miss chucked in the bin after having been bounced off of a wall! Then I'd have been really annoyed at having to clean up the mess I'd made doing it! I'm glad it finally worked out for you, but I don't think it's something I am going to try. Thankyou for the video, and I can hardly wait to see what else you come up with.
My stubborn nature won’t let me give up most of the time 🤣🤣🤣
I’m happy for now, but I must do better 🤣🤣
Thank you 🥰🥰
it turned out beautiful wendy . i bought my grand daughter a crystal making set from temu wendy and it was brilliant xx
Oh wow 😀😀❤️ I will look into that 😀😀❤️
Borax powder can also be used to make crystals they form overnight. Same principles heat up the water to boiling then add the powder until it can no-longer dissolve. The person was dipping silk flowers that they had sprayed glue on and dipped the flower into the borax powder then suspended it in the borax loaded water and let it hang for a few hours around 6-12 hours depending on how much crystals you wanted forming on the seeded silk flower.
Sounds beautiful 😀😀😀 thank you
I can only find borax substitute
Would that work??
The uk has strange rules over what we can get here
@@Toonpish I just did a bit of research and yes you can use borax substitute as long as it's made from sodium sesquicarbonate. It can form big lamellar crystals that are up to 2 mm long.
@@micah06v8 aww thank you 😀😀😀😀
Wendy!!!...you are a better woman than I!!! I would have thrown all that out the window ....I have no patience with fiddly things for sure....lol.... So I stand up and give. you a standing ovation for going through all the tuff stuff needed to show us how to get to it!!! thank you so much!!!
I was quite close as I have tried before a failed but never recorded it lol this time i had a bee in my bonnet as my mother used to say 🤣
@@Toonpish I feel ya my mother used to say that too!! 🤣
I shall make crystals, I Shall Make Crystals, I SHALL MAKE *&%$@! CRYSTALS! Beautiful inlay! Thanks for the giggles too!
🤣🤣🤣 I always try to laugh through things 🤣🤣 it’s the best way to be 🥰🥰
It took a bit for you to get there, but you did! The end result is really amazing! I love all of that sparkle!
Thank you Lisa 😀😀🥰
*BRILLIANT* results, Wendy! That tray/master mold is gorgeous, all by itself. 😍 Kudos to you for your amazing patience, too! I'm afraid I'd have chucked it the bin in disgust after getting nothing but sludge. What you got is really pretty. 💕😊
Thanks so much! 😊 😀😀😀 I very nearly did 🤣🤣🤣
Great video Wendy did enjoy watching you make the master 👍👍👍
Thanks so much 😊
I know from watching Julie at Pouring Your Heart Out, when you're making crystals it works better if you cover them while they're growing.
Yes apparently you are correct 😀😀 now that’s a step I didn’t know about 🤣🤣❤️
I always wondered how to make a master, thank you so much Wendy! Awesome job by the way. ❤❤❤
You are so welcome! 😀😀❤️👍
Turned out absolutely gorgeous Wendy ❤ Take great care ❤️
Thank you Dale 😀😀❤️
Wow,i mossed your live that day and this most exciting thing was done,I had been curious about alum and crystal things since a while,but didn't get time to check other channels. Great that you covered it and got what you wanted,thank you so much fo sharing the making of this wonderful druzzy unlay,Ms Wendy 💜💜💜💜
Thank you Sudha 😀😀 I will hopefully make better ones in the future 🤣🤣🥰
Love your humor and your videos.
Thank you Madeleine 😀😀❤️👍
Tip instead of useing grid, you can use the alum powder for grip. Petra jongbloed made video's about making crystal inlays a couple of years back and she used wood glue and the alum powder let it dry and them poured the alum water solution over it. It will make the formation of the crystals easier and faster. Your tray looked great 😍
Thank you so much 😀😀🥰👍
Well done. Your perseverance definitely paid off. You’ve way more patience than me. I’d rather buy one off you. Also have to say how much I love your video production. It’s always outstanding & entertaining in itself. Thanks Wendy ❤from another Aussie laughing at 28degrees being hot.
Yes it’s hot 🥵 🤣🤣🤣🤣
I heard one guy say he sets his aircon to that 🤣🤣
Thank you so much Barbara 🥰🥰
Awesome video thanks Wendy, very much appreciate you,and everything you do x❤️
Thank you so much Lesley 😀😀❤️👍
Success is so sweet! It may not have been your original intention but it’s really a great crystal tray, mold and inlay!
Thanks so much! 😊 ❤️❤️
OMG Wendy this is just soo gorgeous !!! Your mold making is just brilliant !!
Thank you so much 😀😀❤️❤️ really appreciate it 🥰
You did it! I was never able to get crystal in a plastic tray with alum. I gave up. I know you don't have borax there but that's the only thing that worked for me. Some people use epsom salt but I think those come out thin and pointy. I stopped once the borax worked. Took me weeks until I discovered borax. The only thing I see that's different in this process is that you didn't cover it while it was making crystal and I did. Everything else is the same. So maybe if you try again, cover up your tray so the heat stays in there longer. ❤️
Right 😳😳🤔😀 I will definitely try that 👍👍🥰
If you haven't watched Pouring Your Heart Out with Julie Cutts, she did quite a few videos on growing crystals with Alum and aluminum products. You probably have, but just in case you hadn't. The master looks awesome!
No I haven’t 😳😳 but I will check them out 😀😀👍
Amazing! Awesome video Wendy, thank you 😊
You are so welcome! 😀💜
I am looking forward to what you are going to make with this ❤
Well I have a few other videos coming out so it will be a while but hopefully soon 😀😀❤️👍
Thank you for sharing! You did all the work and I appreciate it!
Thanks for watching and commenting 😀😀👍
I’m with you in the pursuit of crystals and have failed every time
we can do this lol dont give up . Hopefully I can help as I plan to do it again 💜
I wondered how those inlays were made. Great video.
Thank you so much 😀😀👍
Definitely worth persevering, it looks great ❤
Thank you so much 🥰🥰
That was great, I will definitely try to make my own druzzy now. Thank you x
have fun with it 👍
I'm so happy to have found your channel!!❤
Thank you Susie 😀😀😀 I’m happy too 🥰🥰
Can't wait to see what you make with it!
Me too Lady 😀😀❤️👍
WOW It is a gorgeous druzz Wendy!
Thank you so much Carol 😀😀🥰
WOW, I'm shocked. I didn't use a seed and I didn't have these issues. Mine worked straight away. I'm glad you were able to get it to work. Love the end result. Just my 1 cent
I’m so glad for you but also a little jealous 🤣🤣🤣🤣
@@Toonpish 🤣😘🤗
Borax makes nice crystals. I usually have them grow on pipe cleaners, but we did get gorgeous growth on the bottom of a bowl.
I will try that one soon hopefully 😀😀👍🥰 thank you 🥰
I think you did really well. I too use Alum… if you want to grow bigger crystals just reheat the water and add more alum. ❤❤❤
Okay 👌 thank you ❤️❤️❤️👍
love your in lays... nice work !
Thank you 🥰🥰🥰
Wendy that’s stunning 😍 I wish I had your patience lol xx
Thank you 😀 never say never 👍💜
@@Toonpish I hate waiting for results which is why I struggle with a deep pour as I want to demould it strait away 🙈
THANKS SO VERY MUCH 😊
Glad you enjoyed it 😀😀❤️
Pumps are the best!
I think I need to get used to mine 😀😀❤️
Well done. ❤❤❤
Thank you so much 😀❤️
Brilliant information-thank you
Glad it was helpful 😀😀❤️
Yes Wendy, the seed they talk about is a seed crystal. Most alum despite name is actually the same thing, it's used as a mordant in dying. I find it unusual you had trouble finding chemicals as I've not ever had a problem even with some odd ones. Glad you didn't give up, I would have just used crushed glass in frustration xD
I’ve actually tried the glass 🤣🤣 and couldn’t get a good enough inlay from that either 🤣🤣 thank you 🥰🥰
@@Toonpish *hugs glad you got there in the end, even the master looks awesome
After you take a break... LMBO, I'd love to see what you would make with this inlays! Get a tax deduction for advertising too! Bonus! Lol
I need a break from crystals for a little while 🤣🤣 I will come back to this 👍❤️
amazing as always! keep up the good work!
Thank you so much 😀😀🥰
Hi I love it very beautiful
Thank you so much 😀😀❤️
It turned out great!!
Thank you so much 😀❤️👍
Shared. Ooh so pretty!
Thank you so much 😀😀❤️
Nice one Wendy! I use Alum for that too, it does work, but I felt your pain, been there :) Great video
Thanks so much! 😊 😀😀😀 you can’t be an expert straight away can you 🤣🤣 I think I have a long way to go 🤣🤣😀👍
Awesome would love to try it ❤
Have a go 😀😀😀
You are so amazing! Wendy! How Fantastic! Nice job! wow ! Thank you so much for the encouragement 🫂❤️🧡💛💚💙💜
So glad it helped 😀😀❤️👍
I always enjoy your videos, but this one, OMG. I laughed out loud throughout. Yes, a seed usually means you need a piece of what you are growing. Plus those pumps were laughable for 24 ounces of resin.😂. Didnt you make a master, then resin over it then make another master? 😂 Very funny video, but thanks for your mistakes and your knowledge. Your talent is above and beyond.❤
Kinda yes but no 🤣🤣🤣 those pumps 🤣🤣 I filmed the entire 24 ounces and when my hubby started editing it he said
You was at that for ages
So I cut it out 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
You gotta laugh right 🤣🤣🤣
Excellent!
Thank you 😀😀❤️❤️🥰
First of all. I love you. You're fun informative and talented.
I just finished this video. Have you ever heard of Borax? I don't know if you can get it there . Can't attach a photo. It's a very old school laundry product. TH-cam has videos on how to grow crystals with it. A string or pipe cleaner is dangled into the liquid ( made from boiling water and borax) and within 24 hours you have a ton of crystals attached to the string. If I can find the video, I will forward it on Email. But they can be like towers or clumps. Not just flat. ( Mine kept ending up looking a bit perverted 😏)If you're looking for something else.?😉
Your druzy insert is BRILLIANT!!
Sue

Thank you Sue. 😀😀
Others have mentioned Borax and we only have Borax substitute , but it should work.
I will try that another time 😀😀👍
@@Toonpishthey are fun to make but I found it gets ugly after a couple years. It turned matte white and lost all sparkle. Fun to make but not good for long term display.
😘
Great video!
Thank you so much 💜👍
Hi Wendy thats what i used when i done crystals alum, do the first method with the alum, thanks for sharing ❤❤❤ xxx
🤔🤔 okay 👌 ❤️👍
Wow, Wendy. You have so much patience. I would have given up. Youre a star. ⭐
Thank you 😀😀 I really don’t like losing 🤣🤣❤️👍
Love this but I dont have your patience would rather buy a inlay from you. My ethereal powders arrived yesterday they are amazing, thank you ❤❤
Oh thats fantastic Kaz 👍 have fun with them . they are gorgeous😀
Cool,ty❤
Thank you 😀😀👍❤️
Right up my alley. I hope to do similar things in the future. I have lots of resin equipment, but haven't used it much. My apartment manager did a surprise inspection today and called my pressure pot a still.😂
🤣🤣🤣 so you are making alcohol? 🤣🤣 that’s really funny 🤣
I hope they are okay with that 😳😳❤️❤️
Check out good ole Daniel Copper. He did a video on this. Gotta love this man.
Did he ? 🤔😳 how did I miss this 🤣🤣🤣👍🥰
I think your patience is one of your best qualities! Brilliant idea to make a master. Thank you so much for sharing this!!! 💜. P. S. Do you think the heat (weather) helped the process? Thank you!
I do think it sped things up yes 😀😀🥰
❤❤❤
😀🥰
Great Job. I wish I had half your talent. I have a question about a different resin craft. I have been trying to make a fairly large sphere for like a plant aquarium. But it’s always fuzzy. How do I do this and also keep the lines out of the sphere because of the number of layers.
You need a deep pour resin that can pour that deep.
And that is hard to find, as most only recommend 40 mm
But some do go much deeper without issues.
Layers are really hard to get right
I hope that helps 😀😀❤️👍
🥰
😀😀
Yes watch Pouring your Heart out, Julie tell you how to grow crystals..and they are big.😂😂😂😂
I will do that 😀😀👍
I have only gotten into the beginning of the video, and I had the same problem with the pumps too. It is so dumb that the pump doesn't extend far enough.
🤣🤣 I do think it is a little design flaw 🤷♀️😳 but I still like them 👍
🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉
😀❤️👍
dredging up old science classes, I think that the way the crystals are formed is by supersaturating the water. Essentially, by boiling the water, you allow it to absorb more of the chemical than it normally would. When it cools down, the mixture is unstable and adding something to it causes the excess to sort of squeeze out of the water. I think.
And I think that is what is meant by seeding and maybe why the first attempt didn't work. I think you would have been better served to add the mixture while boiling to really supersaturate it.
I know nothing about the chemicals involved and dont know if it is safe to do that - just theorizing in general.
The whole process is like creating rock candy sticks. It is like crystalized sugar on a stick (not sure if other countries call it the same). So, i imagine it wiuld have worked better if you stuck something into the water AFTER it cooled and was supersaturated for it to grab onto? Or if making a flat sheet, maybe wait until the water is cooled before pouring.
Just me needing out and theorizing in general...
Lol
Looks really awesome tho!
I enjoyed reading this 😀😀 thank you for theorising and telling me your thoughts.
It sounds as though you have a much better understanding than I do. And I really appreciate it 😀😀
Thank you so much 🥰🥰
👍🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻👏🏻😊
Thank you so much 😀😀🥰
A word of warning. I used the botax method and used them in a geode id made for someone special. It turned matte white and got really ugly. Im currently breaking it out of the geode to replace it with something. Haven't decided what yet. But the borax ones do not stay pretty and sparkly after two years .
Thank you Sue 😀😀 that’s really handy to know 😍
You can use common salt
I’ve tried that 🤣🤣 couldn’t get it to work either 🤷♀️🤣❤️
Wendy, I would be happy to help you grow crystals if you would like any help ❤
Aww thank you so much 😀😀 loads of people have mentioned your channel and videos you have out. I had no idea, but I will go and watch them now 😀😀
National Geographic sells a making crystal set were you grow your own crystals
That sounds like fun 😀😀👍❤️
I gave up trying to do crystal inlays 🙄
I did a few times 🤣🤣🤣🤣
Check out Pouring your heart out she has done Crystal's with measurements which is quite helpful
Thank you 😀😀❤️👍
❤❤❤
😀😀❤️
