Turned out great. I have problems sleeping too - hate not fully functioning the next day. 💚🇦🇺

Yep, sleeping becomes an issue as the years rack up. On my phone, your Eyecandy looks like antique gold, not unlike a rubbing paste. I really like that color. The soap dish itself would also serve wwell as a deep 3-D frame. You could ggo a little nuts embellishing it.👍

Really niiiice!!!!

I would of liked it more in silver I think, but otherwise it's ok.

I really like it... I think itll be lovely with some lights highlighting the bits and bobs 🧡

Very pretty! 🤗❤️🤗

i love it

Oh boy do I have observations! Starting with the texture along the 1" edge; love it. On my phone it looks frosted, or like a green velet ribbon, floating frame. Straight on, it virtually disappears. The Starry-whatever was just enough to hint at an evergreen. You probably have read enough of my comments to know I would have put less volume of trinkets in, but am cheering the variety. All in all, it's a success. I would put one thin taper behind it & call it done.👏😊

Do I need to seal my wood? LMAO

I get a great deal of enjoyment out of watching your videos… and usually am watching between 2.00-4.00am! Like you, I go to bed very early… and, although it is just hubby & I in our house, I love the peacefulness of the early hours… hubby is sleeping, which means our fur bay is still sleeping… my phone doesn’t make any demanding noises… serenity!! 😂 Both Xmas trees are awesome! Much love, Nat. ♥️♥️🇦🇺

I’m liking the blue of your tree with the silver accents. Your vid hits Aus in the morning- perfect watch before getting out of bed. 🇦🇺

Very pretty! Love the silver bead trim between layers on the tree.

I like the blue tree very much, just the way it is. I think the seeping of the blue resin made the silver look dimensional and added movement in a subtle way.👏😊

Support unions! Postal workers deserve living wages and a safe working environment!

Are you sure of front and back? Could that be why? Maybe a “B” on the back? Or maybe you want it hard to figure out. 😂

I love the Christmas boots.... definitely better than a solid colour or pure glitter etc, for me at least ... super fun ☺thanku 🎅

Great idea for the coffee table at Christmas 🇦🇺💚

Great fun mould... perfect for Christmnas. Very pretty. But ohhh how frustrating for you when they dont fit... that would drive me a little crazy 😵‍💫😂 Hope you managed to sort it out. Thanku for sharing 💚

Lots of fun trying out a puzzle! Love the glitter and shine! Happy to say no snow sun and rain on the west coast! And hey saving money but not online shopping due to the strike! Good old Canada Post!

I haven't used holographic molds yet but they are so interesting.... love the play of colours with light.... apparently one of the best colours to show the holographics is black ... looks crazy good... not terribly good for christmas trees I guess... although might be cool 😃 Anyways great experiment Natalie, thanku and have fun with all your little trees 💚

The water trick works because of the metric system; 1g water=1mL=1cc(cubic cm). That will give you the volume of the mold. If you’re using resin mixed by weight, you’d have to figure out what that translates to in volume. A lot of manufacturers will have a resin calculator on their website, which makes things much easier. I’ll normally add at least 5-10ml extra to whatever volume I need to compensate for what remnants get left in the cup.

These boots are lovely. I bought similar mixing cups a couple of years ago and they’re the best. 💚🇦🇺

Very different not sure they would me but cute.

I like them and think they came out beautifully. 🤗❤️❤️❤️🤗

Love the effects that you did

They turned out super cute

I love your tea light boots… I really like the uniqueness you bring to your pieces!! I think it’d look neat with the gold chrome marker around that part at the bottom, like you said… and then around the top of the circle, where the tea light sits?? Also, with the little gold n white ornament, that came from a matte mould… you could always spray it with a couple of coats of clear, high gloss varnish… depending on what it is you’re doing… I find this quicker and easier than epoxy?! I totally agree with you re pouring resin from up high… this certainly works with liquid silicone (which is where I believe the theory came from)… but, in my opinion, it does not help reduce bubbles in resin… it actually does quite the opposite, well it does for me anyway! I pour my resin down low, slowly… and, if pouring a deep mould, I let the resin flow onto a flat silicone stick and allow it to slowly run down into the mould. I’ve done a few pieces where I encase a dandelion in clear resin… and this method works really well for these. Lotsa Luv, Nat. ♥️♥️🇦🇺

kind of wish you had used black instead of white

Pretty! Love the gold on white! Just wrapping up xmas makes. Some how I used plenty from my xmas stash but while starting to gather and pack it up I needed a larger bin than I had been using! I think for every piece I used two took their place! LOL

Nifty! ❤🤗

A wizard taps the holographic into the mold with his wand. 😆 I googled it to learn how the holographic effect gets in the mold. The particles in the plaster are too large to pick up the super ultra fine holographic.Try mold release instead of alcohol to spray molds.

Looks good, good buddy! Painting the ribbons would brighten the gifts and look more festive.

Nice! Yeah the gifts would look cute with painted ribbons. I like them! And if he don’t like the truck tell him to piss off. 😂 I think you did a great job.

Very handsome mold. I think you did a very good job, I do agree that stack is in the wrong place. I think your treatment of the windshield was spot on. 👍🦃

Happy Thanksgiving to you very Thankful for you.

That is really nice.

Happy Thanksgiving Natalie!🦃

Good on you for continuing to be yourself… I personally love the way you present your videos! You give us plenty of information, while being warm and friendly. Great experiment too… I’ve never used glitter in eco resin before! Thanks so much for sharing! ♥️♥️🇦🇺

That turned out so well… I love those colours!! ♥️♥️🇦🇺

Hi Natalie! 👋

The holographic effect is actually the way a pattern is etched, (extremely fine engraving) on an object, and the silicone picks it up when a mould is made, which in turn is reflected on the material poured into the mould. Some materials pick up this fine etching, some don't. (Eco pours are generally made up of particles that are too big to go down into the etching, so show less or not at all).

After seeing your results I think I going to have a pay with both alcohol inks and resin pigments

That’s weird I have been playing with same Mold t tink clear epoxy site best to show off holographic I know that the resin has to touch the holographic for it to work with polyurethane bottles I have at mo new type was literally less than 30 seconds it cured as I was pouring today

I’ve not used polyurethane resin yet… but yes, I’ve only ever heard that you have just 30 seconds to mix… and 2 minutes pot life… it’d be nice if you have longer… but, having said that, I’ve never seen anyone mix for 30 seconds… pour… and have it not cure properly! So maybe 30 is enough? 🤷‍♀️ Talking about the holographic transfers… I don’t know how it works… but I’ve made a holographic silicone mould, using a refraction sheet… and it worked a treat!! And it was a fun experiment… maybe something you could try on video?? We can see the holographic effect, when you turn them side to side… better on some than others… but it gives us a good idea of what we’d get when doing it ourselves… and… you move it slow enough for us to get a good look… so thanks so much for that!! I’d be wary of spraying alcohol into the holographic mould before the resin…I don’t know for sure, but I’d reckon it may damage the mould?? Much like not spraying hand made moulds or crystal moulds!?! Well… epoxy is the clear winner here!! And the translucent red tree is just stunning… definitely my favourite of the bunch! I really enjoyed this video, and sharing the experiment with you… you are very easy to listen to… clear and to the point, without sounding cold. So, once again, thank you… I really appreciate you Natalie! Much love from Nat. (Brisbane, Australia) ♥️♥️🇦🇺

I agree, translucent is the nicest & richest. I'm not a polyurathane user. However, I was pretty sure the casting compound wouldn't render the holograph. I can't say why except if the design isn't engraved or embossed, the casting compounds don't pick it up. That red is yummy👍

Just found your channel and subbed! Looking forward to learning from you.

Great trees. You’ve inspired me to try something similar. I’m thinking of doing a few and hang them from a horizontal stick. 💚🇦🇺

I like the trees and yes we can see the little stones. The are subtle & I do like subtle or understated when it comes to glittery things. I will also say that I've tried twice to watch the previous video & always got interrupted. Like right now, off to finish culture compound butter 🤭👍

I’m getting backlash for my long videos so don’t worry lol. I’m being told I’m slow 😂

Thank you for the comparisons and the information. I didn’t feel like you talked my ear off, and I did watch to the end. 🤗
