- Happy 2022!
This tumbler design was initially going to be a Valentine's Tumbler. However, as often happens, I switched gears. I just fell in love with the design of this piece, before it 'should' have been finished.
I have actually been inspired to create a couple different designs, based on the different stages of this process. So, be on the lookout for those in the near future.
I listed all the materials in the video. But, questions and comments are always welcome.
Thank you for watching.
I appreciate you and your time.
Sincerely,
Sandi
OMGoodness that is stunning. I was like no,no,no, before you started drizzling on the extra resin. I loved it before the drizzle and swipe. I love it just as much after the swipe. lol 😂 I know the pain of going too far and wishing you had stopped at one point, and the joy when it all comes together. ❤
😂😂 It can be nerve-wracking, can't it?
This was one I held my breath on as well.
That's pretty cool. I'm learning there's no right or wrong way to create a cup
Thank you, Rhonda😊 Absolutely agree! The rules of art are not rules at all. Suggestions only.
That turned out absolutely beautiful! Proof that an idea in transition can become a masterpiece in the end.
Awww, Thank you Mary.🥰 I deeply appreciate your words of inspiration and support ☺️💖
That turned out amazing
Thank you, so much, Geo Cacher😊 🌺🐭
Gorgeous ✨
Thank you. 😊
Beautiful colors on this. ❤ it without the glitter and agree, it is gorgeous as it is.
Thank you. 😊
It’s gorgeous
Thank you so much, Lorie 😊🌺🐭
I absolutely loved how it was turning out before the use of the silicone wand spreading the colors and it was a good decision not adding the vinyl.. The end result was still beautiful but I Loved the the 'galaxy' look.
I appreciate your feed back, Lynne. This was an experiment. As someone who doesn't like to waste materials, I could see this wasn't sinking into my base coat of epoxy. So, I felt like it needed a light blending, to avoid losing my interference powder. But, I do appreciate your honest opinion.😊🐭☃️
I love the way you r using it. Something I haven’t seen b4. I like it. Alot
Thank you Kari😊 This has been the best way to use this Mica powder. Other uses have not given me this vivid effect.😊🌺🐭
I’m glad you decided against the vinyl. It’s beautiful.
Thank you😊
Omg it's gorgeous!! Northern lights/galaxy vibes!! Well done
Thank you so much, Erica😊🌺🐭
Really a beautiful tumbler. Wasn’t at all what I expected but I’m glad it wasn’t. Never thought to use the Micah powders like that. Definitely gonna try this.
Thank you, Pam☺️. I surprised myself. I had no idea what I was doing. But, I wasn't disappointed in the end. 😊🌺🐭
Beautiful!! It definitely didn’t need the vinyl
Thank you, Tracey. Agreed 💯. 😊🌺🐭
Wow. Stunning!
Thank you so much Jane 😊🌺🐭

You absolutely can and will!! Tip:. Skip the ink. It was a waste of materials that made no difference in the end result. 😊🌺🐭

Yeh I think you were right to leave it it’s pretty just the way she is 😍I’m waiting on some interference powers I order during the sales 👏🏻👏🏻excited now xx
Thank you Amanda🥰 I have some other ideas for the interference powder, but I'd love to see how you use yours. And, smart lady, save the money wherever you can😊🌺

My not be for VD but like how it turned out - very pretty - I would give it for VD
Thank you so much, Joyce😊🌺🐭
Suggestion - Try lightly spritzing with alcohol after dusting to get those colors popping. Love how the cup turned out 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽
Oh, Thank you Sophia😊 I appreciate your suggestion. I knew someone would have a workable solution for me. Thanks for your support ☺️💖
You're very welcome. Again the tumbler came out beautifully 😍
Thank you so much 🥰❤️
I LOVE this
Thank you, Emily☺️
@@sandisshedhouse4741 u r so welcome
It’s beautiful. I kept hoping you’d use the heat gun after sprinkling the micas. I’m tempted to try it myself since I already have the pearls and the micas.
Thank you, Sharla😊. I wanted to avoid a swirl. So, I didn't want the heat to cause movement in my epoxy. But, by all means, give that a try. I'd be interested in the results.😊🌺🐭
@@sandisshedhouse4741 I think I might try it this week. I just got an order for one along these lines so it will definitely be a cool experiment.
Very cool, Sharla. I'm so glad you were inspired to try this. 😊🌺🐭
Absolutely amazing! Just found you today and started following you! 😊
Thank you so much, Your😊 Welcome to the Shed House! I'm so glad you joined me🐭🌺☺️
It's sooo pretty 💜
Awww, thanks Lori😊 🌺
Very beautiful. I have all the interference ink, thanks for sharing.
Thank you Theresa😊. I'd love some suggestions as to how you use them, if you care to share🙂💕
@@sandisshedhouse4741 I would love to know what alcohol inks you used? Absolutely stunning tumbler & technique!! I've never seen inks like that. I have the Lets Resin powders & LOVE them. Thanks for sharing the tutorial 😁😁🥰🥰🥰
Thank you kindly, Marta😊. The inks are from Tim Holtz/Ranger. Colors are, Intrigue (pinkish) and Tranquil (blue green). Hope this helps😊🌺🐭
@@sandisshedhouse4741 it does thank you so much girl 🥰🥰🥰🥰😁😁😁😁😁
Marta, you are so welcome ☺️ I appreciate your support 🌺🐭💓
Love it!! Thank you for taking us along
Thanks so much Lynn😊 I'm honored you wanted to join me ☺️💕
@@sandisshedhouse4741 I enjoy your videos. You are real and we need that. Keep them coming
Awwww 🥰 so sweet of you ☺️💖 Can I tell you.... I don't know any other way to be. 😂😂
It’s gorgeous!!! Love it!!!
Thank you Patti😊 I appreciate you watching ☺️🌺
I think you made the right call not placing a decal as the cup is beautiful all by itself. 👍
Thank you Tricia ☺️💖
So pretty. Yes I have never seen the interference micas used that way but it certainly turned out beautiful something for me to keep in mind I just never am that brave lol.
Thank you Christine😊. I would love suggestions as to how this mica powder is used. I know it can be mixed with resin or alcohol. But I am open to additional application methods. Thank you for watching 😊🌺
@@sandisshedhouse4741 I know there are two kinds of mica powders that I am aware of. One is for paint pouring that is mixed with a pouring medium. The other is to be mixed with resin. But like you did here if yours is for resin then pouring it over a dark colour gets your the colour shimmer in different lights. Just make sure when you mix it in that you really mix it and ensure each bit of mica is mixed in so you don’t have a piece that doesn’t get mixed. If you mix it over white you can also get the coloured effect I think it is just a more subtle but pretty look. And also you only need a bit of mica to mix. Have fun playing
Christine, it's mind blowing, the different ways, we can use art materials. Isn't it? A little trick I picked up, mixing your mica powders in a small amount of alcohol, to make a slurry, before adding resin, helps to ensure all the mica powder is incorporated. No chunks left behind.😊. I'm definitely going to be doing more experimenting with the interference mica. 🙂🌺
@@sandisshedhouse4741 oh really. That’s a great tip thanks. I will give it a try.
This is just stunning. Definitely a good choice to leave it without vinyl! Going to have a play with this method for sure. Thinking if you heat the resin after the inks but before the powders it might flow slightly better?
Thank you, Wickedkittin☺️. I had considered it, but I didn't want it to band around the tumbler. I'm going to be playing with this method again. I appreciate your suggestion and your support ☺️💖
I approve of not putting decals on the piece. Beautiful!!! I'm new to this and want to know where I can get one of those machines that rotate the cup. Thanks.
Thank you, Allen😊 I assume you are asking about the cup turner. Mine is home made. If you're interested in making your own, I can give you the basics. However, if you want to just try it, to see if you like doing cups, Amazon has a few different turners that are ready to go, right out of the box. I hope this helps. Let me know if I can help you along your journey.😊🌺🐭
I loveeeee this! Do you mind if I do one just like it ?? It’s beautiful thanks for the tutorial 🥰
Thank you Susana😊. Honey, I would be honored to have you do this. That's why I these videos. I always hope to inspire someone. Today it must be you😃 Thanks for watching and your support ☺️💖
@@sandisshedhouse4741 se thank you so much!! I’ll make sure to tag you whenever I make mine ☺️ please keep up making videos I’d love to see them💕 I’m subscribed 😆
Thank you so much for your support. Welcome to the Shed House☺️💖
I absolutely love it ❤️
I always say there are no mistakes, just new creative avenues.
I just found your channel, and already I'm enjoying it
Thank you 😊 I like the way you think. I'm glad you stumbled in. Hope you'll come back often🙂
This is gorgeous……is the powder you used just mica powder? And, can any prepped painted tumbler do?
I think yours was powder coated? Good video and you have a new subscriber. 😊
Thank you, Pam😊 any tumbler is fine. I just used the powder coated tumbler, because I had it on hand. And it's too flipping cold here for spray paint.😂
I used Interference Mica powders, by Let's Resin. I ordered from Amazon.
Welcome to the Shed House, where the rat isn't the only crazy one🤣😂
Thank you for your support ☺️🌺🐭
@@sandisshedhouse4741 Thank you…Sounds like my kinda place. 😊
Yayyyyy😄🐭
I wonder how it would look if you sprinkled the mica on first and THEN did the alcohol ink?
Hey Chuck, sounds interesting. I would imagine the ink would cause the Mica to swirl. Therefore losing the Mica pattern. If you try it, let me know how it goes😊🌺🐭
What color micas did you use? That is awesome!
Thank you.😊
Unfortunately, I don't remember the colors. They were part of a set by Let's Resin, Interference Powder mica. Amazon has it.
I hope this helps.🙂
Absolutely beautiful!!! Glad you skipped the vinyl.
Thanks! Me too.
do you think you could do this again but dont brush out the mica,? Befor you brushed the micas out , they look like stars and galaxirs.
I will keep that in mind for the future.
What is mica ink mixture or whatever u said about the alcohol inks?
The alcohol ink didn't effect the outcome of this tumbler. I could have skipped it completely. It was an experiment. Hope that helps😊🌺🐭
Nooooo leave it to spin. It will be beautiful
Hahaha. I listened.😁🌺🐭
What is interfering powder?
Hi Lori,
Interference powder is a Mica powder that shows differently on a black base, than white. It throws more of an opalescence than a particular color. Does that make sense? 😊🌺🐭
What is interference powder?
Interference powder is a type of mica powder, that is reactive, when used over a black background. By itself it appears to have very little pigment. The black background enhances the color shift effect of the powder. I hope that makes sense😊🌺🐭
