Glad to see you mention at the end not using really tight rubber bands due to marks and cracking later on, but just tying closed with another plastic bag. Good idea.
Very very cool, I think you are very brave the way you just poor the resin and not even panic about screwing up your table or whatever else you get resin on, I am gonna go for it now that I know the proper tricks to actually be mess free, thanks
I have watched a lot of alcohol ink videos and your ideas are so creative and unusual. I almost gave up on the ink but now I am newly inspired. Thank you so much
Amazing! My Grandmother was a resin artist many years ago. I remember being in her studio, the smells, the light reflecting off the beautiful projects..... I wish I could have spent time learning from her but I was too young. Thank you for reminding me. She would have loved this project!
Brenda Patterson Di you have any of Grandma ‘s work? I’d love to see some pictures of them. Maybe you could post them on TH-cam and share the link here if you do please.
This is really cool. A few months ago I took some of my left over resin and put between two dollar store plastic bowls and they created interesting little gifts. Glad to see your techniques to blend with mine for new effects. Thank you for taking the time to share your work.
This reminds me of blown glass which I have always loved. I see so many possibilities using resin in this way! Thank you so much for sharing this video!
Gorgeous! Instead of using elastics to hold the resin over the form, painters tape works quite well - and you can control exactly how "tight" you want it to be held.
Not sure if this would work, but I use thick plastic painters drop cloths that come in a roll on my studio table and it is my palette when I paint with acrylics. Paint just peels right off. It is translucent and for some reason want to say 4ml thick, or about the same as contractors type black plastic bags. Love being able to cut out a chunk, tape it down and go. This looks very fun and may be my jump into resin. Thanks again Jane!!
Awesome! Reminds me of process of melting vinyl records into chip bowls that I did with my mom in the 70s. Poured boiling water over records to melt them around a form!
I totally have to do this as a lamp shade :) Beautiful! Suggestions: We would be able to see your work when you're pouring and adding colours if you put a clear plastic sheet (like for protecting the floor when painting a room) over white paper on the table. You could totally use a cheapo yoga stretch band (you know those big elastic bands for exercising) to wrap around the vase and tie at your desired tightness. Bungee cord wrapped in a garbage bag would also work. Once the moulding container is in place, you could open the garbage bag you've wrapped it in and fill it full of marbles, stones, etc to weight it down without piling books on top. We'd be able to see it more easily in the video. :) So pleased to have discovered your channel! I'm eager to watch more videos.
Jane, I have been making these for years, they are on my instragram, they sell like hotcakes. When I make different shapes for my bowls, I use 100 % silcone caulking and make my shape. The resin peels off the silcone and leaves the shape
Jane thank you SO much for sharing!!! I'm so inspired! I live in Australia and it's very hot so I wouldn't be able to wait until the next morning to mould it around the vessel as it cures so quickly but I may be able to wait 6 or so hours. Cannot WAIT to try this. Thank you again for sharing x
This made me think of Chihuly blown glass artist! Bravo! 👏👏 I’m excited to see where this is going! Your creativity is limitless & I love the vase idea! What great gift to give! Thank you Jane for sharing your amazing talent! I’m a fan from Sandpoint, Idaho. Blessings💕deb
You can use the white glad garbage bags, it would be much better visually having a white background, so we can see the colours better when your making the vase. Thanks!
question: can you spray a very thin coat of say, a silicone spray or even vegetable oil spray, down first on the bag so that it lifts away more easily? Or will that completely mess up the resin and the way it sets up?
Would it be helpful to coat the garbage bag with vaseline or baby oil or something like that so it will come off of the vase easier? I don't know - I've never done one of these - but just thinking for simpler method.
I might have missed in the video, but how long do you leave it spread out before forming around container. You came back the next morning, but didn't say if it was 12 hours, 24??? etc. Thank You!!! Really want to try this.
Beautiful ❤️. Just wondering if I should be wearing a respirator when mixing the resin, or is it ok to not have to eat one? Thanks for your tutorial on your inventive work of art 🎨!
TOTALLY WANT TO TRY THIS! BEAUTIFUL! I have an inflatable driving back roll/ pillow... wondering if that would work. I think it'll be easier to remove but I don't know if it'd withstand the weight. Thanks so much for sharing and inspiring!
Hi Jane, I LOVE your new vase!!! Would it be possible to use white garbage bags, so I can see more of what I am doing with the ink? It seems that it would be hard to see on a black bag. Thanks you for any information. I am amazed with what you do!!!
PAMELA NEWMAN I think I mentioned in the video that white don’t work as well as black. But you can use a silicone rubber mat, thick white plastic drop cloth or even a clear shower curtain. Have fun.
PAMELA NEWMAN I’ve heard mixed reviews about releases. you just have to test different ones. I also heard of people using PAM. or putting moulds in the freezer before releasing.
Jane what a simple but gorgeous design, you are the Master or Mistress (don’t know if I said that correctly??? Please don’t go P.C on me LOL). Anyway, what you did sent a shiver down my spine, the colours, shape and overall effect really moved me. You are a born teacher, you made it seem so simple. Thank you! Cheers, Sean
Hi Jane. Yay ! You are back. Pleased you are feeling better. This was a terrific outcome and such an interesting process - I also loved the resin sheet with the alcohol inks through it before you shaped it. I wonder how that might look framed up? As soon as you pick hydrangeas you dunk them upside down so the whole flower head is submerged in water for five mins, remove and shake well before recutting the stem and placing in your floral foam. They'll last for days. So great to have you back. Cheers, DEB T
Rod Templeton OMG are you serious!!!?? I love hydrangea but this always happens. Thanks so much for the tip!!! Thanks for watching and yes framing the resin sheet would be cool art. I thought of doing that. Lol.
Jojo's Crafty Love If you turn all your plastic containers over on a covered serface so the left over resin can drip to the tops of the containers and let the resin set you can just pull the cured resin out of the containers and no cleaning is needed.
If you get a piece of glass and put it on something to stabilize it and then put a light under it and do your pour on there the same way, you could probably see it better. Just a thought! Looks fun though
Awesome video Jane! Wondering if a white garbage bag could be used to get a better idea of the design when laying in the inks? Not sure if white heavy duty bags are available. Maybe doesn’t have to be heavy duty? This reminds me of my handbuilding vases and bowls clay days! You could make a bowl by setting the resin sheet inside a bowl. Need to try this! Thanks!
Thanks for that tip about the bags. Also thinking of mobiles...cut the resin up before it hardens, oh my, so many ideas, so little time... :) So glad you're back to your old self!
Dear Jane That was a lovely piece of resin art with such an awesome colour combination. I would like to know if acrylic colours could also be used or for that matter , any other colours instead of the alcohol paints ? Will the other colours give the same effect? Will they mix well?
This is my first time watching any of your videos. Truly impressed by your teaching style. I appreciate that you stick to the point and don’t fill the quiet spaces with mindless chatter. It makes it enjoyable and easy to watch. I’ve watched some videos where the person just talks nonstop. Omg! They talk about the weather, the kids, what they ate etc. 😫 This was actually very enjoyable to watch. Just a couple questions? Will any resin work? What are your thoughts on polyester resin? Excellent job on that vase. New subscriber.
Ladywood2 Thanks for watching. Depends on the resin. As well, some are very toxic so just do some research and wear the appropriate safety gear, should need be. 😊 I used Art Resin and is my go to for most art projects.
Your work is very BEAUTIFUL. I wish I knew how to do anything close to that. I'm trying to get started using resin, I think it's very beautiful but when you're using coloring does it have to be a certain type of color? can you use food coloring?
FUZZII EVERLOVE Food colouring is water based so keep it well away from resin. You can color resin with nail varnish, acrylic paint, acrylic ink, ink, alcohol inks (which is what she's using in the video) and any dry powder pigments or mica powders. My favourite pigments are Artisue epoxy pigments.
Hello Jane...I was wondering if you could tell me what brand of torch you are using...it appears that is somewhat smaller than others I’ve seen..I like it!!!
I am a beginer, so I wonder if it requires a specific lenght of time after adding the alcohol ink to begin torching it to be sure I don't start a fire.
What time at night did you start? And what time in the morning did you mold it to a vase? Just so we know how many hours to takes to be moldable before it hardens too much. Just specify times as resin is so finicky
Monique Keithanne Gowie I believe I answered most of this in the video and in the comments. 😊 but to reiterate, around 2 in the afternoon and the next morning around 10. But you’ll have to do your own testing depending on the resin you use and climate temperatures. Cheers.

That is absolutely beautiful. Thank you for sharing.
I loved the idea. Your tutorials are really good as you explain and demonstrate so well. Thank you so much.
Stunning piece 😍
Jo Manna thanks 😊
So beautiful.Good tutorial.May be a thick white compactor bag if you want to give a try on it?
Gorgeous! I've never seen resin used like this. Your colors are perfect.
Cathy Rose Creations thanks 😊

Neysa Oberlin thanks. Yes I’ve done that too! 💕👍🏼
What a great idea Jane. I'm sure this will spark many more ideas for resin containers. Thank you!
Shades of Clay cool thanks! 😎 I’ll be ordering some product again soon. You guys have super fast shipping!!! 💕🇨🇦
Shades of Cla
Great job!!
Thankyou for the video. Saw the vase on Facebook and loved it , will give it a try when I save up and get some resin
Gayle Dodds Awesome! 👍🏼💕😊
I like this video! How is trash bag not melting under torch? Also please recycle plastic cups, don’t just toss them.👍🏻
Red Queen Official thanks. Yes we have wonderful recycling program here.
Beautiful work. Very inspiring to watch you work
This is really beautiful! Thank you so much for sharing! Lots of love from Brazil!♡
Jane thank you SO much for sharing!!! I'm so inspired! I live in Australia and it's very hot so I wouldn't be able to wait until the next morning to mould it around the vessel as it cures so quickly but I may be able to wait 6 or so hours. Cannot WAIT to try this. Thank you again for sharing x
Thank you for sharing! This is all that is wonderful with art combined into one video! I Love It!
stormybing thanks 😊💕
I've been saving my resin drips not sure what I would do with it. Noticed that if I peeled off once it set up it was flexible. Nice job
Awesome and beautiful! Great job!
My challenge for today! Beautiful, thank you for sharing your talent. A big fan here!
Great idea, Jane! I am going to do this! Excited!
Outstanding idea ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
Sharen AK Harris Thanks, Sharen 💕
This made me think of Chihuly blown glass artist! Bravo! 👏👏 I’m excited to see where this is going! Your creativity is limitless & I love the vase idea! What great gift to give! Thank you Jane for sharing your amazing talent! I’m a fan from Sandpoint, Idaho. Blessings💕deb
Debbie Swanson Thanks, Deb 💕😊
Definitely Chihuly. Seen a couple of his exhibit.
Beautiful Great Job very easy to follow instructions I'm looking forward to creating a vase! 😁❤💯 just got my resin today!
Oh this is just so pretty!! Thank you for sharing!! :)
Cindylee29 😊😊

Jekku probably. Or a mold release.
Brilliant as always thanks for sharing

You are so talented and creative artist i love it so much. I want to say welcome from Saudi Arabia 😍😍😍😍
Very cool. When you're manipulating the resin after it's set up, do you get finger marks in the surface?
Judi Hurwitt wear gloves. :-)
I might have missed in the video, but how long do you leave it spread out before forming around container. You came back the next morning, but didn't say if it was 12 hours, 24??? etc. Thank You!!! Really want to try this.
I thought she said 4.5 to 5 hours?
Great idea and great result !!! Hi from Germany :-)
I just love it
This is the best demo I’ve seen of the difference torching makes. How many hrs did u let it stay on the garbage bag to cure initially?
Beautiful ❤️. Just wondering if I should be wearing a respirator when mixing the resin, or is it ok to not have to eat one? Thanks for your tutorial on your inventive work of art 🎨!
TOTALLY WANT TO TRY THIS! BEAUTIFUL!
I have an inflatable driving back roll/ pillow... wondering if that would work. I think it'll be easier to remove but I don't know if it'd withstand the weight. Thanks so much for sharing and inspiring!

Thank You, Jane! I can't wait to get started. Resin comes tomorrow!
Lovely Design, Thanks
London Royal 😊😊
This is very simular to an idea that I have bouncing around in my head. I guess I need to give a go. Awesome job
angelsandfaes thanks. Yes fun to do too. 😊
Can you put silicone mold release spray on the black plastic wrap so it will release without cutting the mold?
FABULOUS! THANK U SO MUCH FOR SHARING U R an AMAZING artist 🎨
Andrea Harutunian Aww, thanks 💕😊
Welcome back, glad you are better. Really enjoyed this video. Thanks for the great idea!
Christine Bensen Thanks for watching. 😊😊
Hi Jane, what do you recommend for a resin release for your vases? Thank You so much, Pamela
PAMELA NEWMAN I’ve heard mixed reviews about releases. you just have to test different ones. I also heard of people using PAM. or putting moulds in the freezer before releasing.
Is it worth putting the mixed resin into a pressure pot to shrink the bubbles before adding color?
I just discovered you this morning, and am anxious to try your technique.
Jerry Callender awesome. Have fun 😊
Hi jane , thank you for sharing your amazing work with us ❤️
You’re the best TH-camrs channels of creating the best ideas with resin 😍
maram Aww, thanks. Just having fun really 😊
Wouldn't using a heat gun on the base before/after applying the bands help avoid the cracks? Just wondering.
Jane what a simple but gorgeous design, you are the Master or Mistress (don’t know if I said that correctly??? Please don’t go P.C on me LOL). Anyway, what you did sent a shiver down my spine, the colours, shape and overall effect really moved me. You are a born teacher, you made it seem so simple. Thank you! Cheers, Sean
The Bungling Woodworker lol. Reads well after a glass of wine. 😂🍷👍🏼 Thanks!

Nice! :D Just wondering how do you clean your plastic cups that you use to mix your resin, please? Sorry for the n00b question... :)
Jojo's Crafty Love If you turn all your plastic containers over on a covered serface so the left over resin can drip to the tops of the containers and let the resin set you can just pull the cured resin out of the containers and no cleaning is needed.
Beautiful, I'd call it a Faux Chihuly! (glass artist) Going to do this, thanks for sharing
carpediem5790 😊😊
O wow,nice good idea..
If you get a piece of glass and put it on something to stabilize it and then put a light under it and do your pour on there the same way, you could probably see it better.
Just a thought! Looks fun though
Chelsea Bonnin I use clear heavy duty plastic tablecloths now 👍🏼
Oh awesome!
I just subscribed and I am about to embark on the resin train..
Awesome video Jane! Wondering if a white garbage bag could be used to get a better idea of the design when laying in the inks? Not sure if white heavy duty bags are available. Maybe doesn’t have to be heavy duty? This reminds me of my handbuilding vases and bowls clay days! You could make a bowl by setting the resin sheet inside a bowl. Need to try this! Thanks!

Thanks for that tip about the bags. Also thinking of mobiles...cut the resin up before it hardens, oh my, so many ideas, so little time... :) So glad you're back to your old self!
Denise Johnson oh yes mobiles would be so cool! 💕👍🏼
😯❣😯❣ wow that is ace!! 💙
amron ronnoc Thanks 😊
Dear Jane
That was a lovely piece of resin art with such an awesome colour combination. I would like to know if acrylic colours could also be used or for that matter , any other colours instead of the alcohol paints ? Will the other colours give the same effect? Will they mix well?
Also...what thickness would you say, was the resin ‘puddle’ after smoothing it all out? TY, 😁
Cathy holmes She's using art resin which should self level to 3mm
❤️this, will definitely give it a go 😁👍
Lesley Murphy cool. Let me know how it goes! 😊😊
It’s so creative,
This is my first time watching any of your videos. Truly impressed by your teaching style. I appreciate that you stick to the point and don’t fill the quiet spaces with mindless chatter.

Thank you Jane for sharing, it’s given me food for thought, do you think using acrylic inks would work as well?
Would Vaseline on the outside of the bag make it easier for removal?
Very pretty! Do you think plain old Vaseline would work as a mold release? Cheers..👍
Hello Jane...I was wondering if you could tell me what brand of torch you are using...it appears that is somewhat smaller than others I’ve seen..I like it!!!
If you leave the resin in the mix cup too long, doesn't it get hot??
khart091 Kayla yes but I don’t leave it to that extent. It would be unworkable at that point.
would this melt if it got hot from the sun etc? Are these waterproof?
Lovely
Jean Grice 😊😊
I am a beginer, so I wonder if it requires a specific lenght of time after adding the alcohol ink to begin torching it to be sure I don't start a fire.
I torch before adding the alcohol ink because I did start a teent tiny flame. No firetrucks involved😀. So torch before.
What time at night did you start? And what time in the morning did you mold it to a vase? Just so we know how many hours to takes to be moldable before it hardens too much. Just specify times as resin is so finicky
Monique Keithanne Gowie I believe I answered most of this in the video and in the comments. 😊 but to reiterate, around 2 in the afternoon and the next morning around 10. But you’ll have to do your own testing depending on the resin you use and climate temperatures. Cheers.
Jane Monteith thanks! I look forward to experimenting
Late to the video, but I was thinking, before it hardened completely I would cut a vertical strip off along one side so that the bottom wouldn't end up looking kind of bulky. Then I would epoxy the seam. Maybe that would prevent some cracking as well.
