[@kathrynseaman6482]

This beautiful! So happy I bought some of theTiny Turners micas.

[@miniscenesgb]

They are really next level. They do come out a lot brighter than this if I wasn't going for the blended antique look

[@lorimcgarrity6537]

That came out beautiful. I love the addition of the black mica powder instead of just filling in with black resin. Beautiful result and I will have to remember that. I have the Beta Fish wall hanging like that butterfly and something else, all similiar in size and purpose. Greaet video

[@miniscenesgb]

Glad you liked this one. yes the black mica is how I got the sort of antique look

Gorgeous colors and lovely butterfly,Ms Tracey 😍😍💜💜

[@miniscenesgb]

Thanks so much

[@katiedotson704]

Beautiful piece of work. I would purchase the mold if it were a bit deeper. I prefer a layer of clear resin between the mica powders and the final layer of black resin, as I think it gives the finished product more depth. However, that is a personal preference, and isn't shared by everyone.
I am very new to resin crafting and have so much to learn before I catch up to anyone. I sincerely appreciate all the excellent resin artist and crafters that so generously share their hard-earned knowledge.

[@miniscenesgb]

Yes that method can give a different effect. I did this one the way I did to get the antique effect though and as these powders, other than the green dots, are opaque, it wouldn’t make much difference really 😀

[@sugargmum4517]

Beautiful Butterfly Tracey 🤩😍

[@miniscenesgb]

Thank you! 🤗

[@ASA-bl3hw]

This looks stunning

[@miniscenesgb]

Thanks :) I hope it also answered the question about blending

[@SelenesCreationsByTheSea]

Hi- FYI, Temu has a brush cleaner called "Scrub Sponge Box Black" for $1.07, if you prefer not to clean your brushes off on your silicone mat. 😊

[@miniscenesgb]

Yes I have one - just no idea where it is lol

[@Coyo-Tea]

I use a piece of clean aquarium foam to clean my brushes it works a treat.

[@miniscenesgb]

Great tip thanks

[@evelynbrown5312]

wow that butterfly is beautiful, I definitely have these powders on my list. You really need to get a make up brush cleaner from Temu, it's like a round compact with a scrubby bit inside that you rub your brush against, it's great and cleans all the colour off so you can use it again for another colour. There's one on just now for only 79p. The nail art brush sets are great too for getting into all the grooves in the mould, really cheap too at only 57p for 15 different sizes x

[@miniscenesgb]

thanks for the tip - I will get one, though my current methods work ok especially for the blending where you specifically don't want to over clean your brush .I do have over 1200 nail art brushes and could have changed brush as nail art has been my thing for years :)

[@evelynbrown5312]

definitely get the brush cleaner then, it really does work great

[@miniscenesgb]

@@evelynbrown5312 will do , thanks for the tip

You can mix a little alcohol into the mica powder so it doesn't fly elsewhere in the mold.

[@miniscenesgb]

Yes I demo that in other videos but this video was about dry blending :)

[@wendyh3206]

It's beautiful

[@miniscenesgb]

thanks :) I hope it answers my subscriber questions too

[@roygarcia4176]

Thank you so much!

[@GertCreates]

[@miniscenesgb]

Thank you! 😊

[@patriciaburt9365]

U can use alcohol to help clean up the powder you want to remove it would be a lot easier you can also use alcohol to apply the colors with less cleanup you should try it it works really well

[@miniscenesgb]

I explain in the video why I am not using alcohol to apply the colours, I and in this video I do use alcohol to clean up

[@kellyweber627]

Gosh! The end results are amazing ❤ the butterfly is so beautiful! Now I have to ask a silly question: what is it used for?

It is now being a decorative wall plaque at my mum's house :)

[@joycepugh5347]

Lovely.. when I have a mold that powder doesn't stick I spray it first with mold release

Floria? I don't recall all the names but I don't recall that one :) Wicca and some of the other names definitely are though

NEVER EVER OPEN a jar of pigment powder or ink or dye OVER THE MOLD. Ask me how I know this.

Yes. I’m trying to keep in camera shot or I wouldn’t :)
