Hello creative soul. You make my heart sing each time I see a video of yours. Thank you for being you. It is an honour walking alongside you on this KZbin journey. You share such an interesting process which is so helpful.

[@HravnOdinsson01]

It looks like an old plaque you would see above a door to an old tavern or something at the docks. Welcome to The Copper Whale Tavern lol. Unexpected but still absolutely gorgeous!

[@marierudd5204]

I love watching you not just for all the fantastic resin projects you make, but also you always make me smile and laugh you are so funny 😮

[@tazbaby713]

You NEVER bore me Julie

[@cherylburkitt9722]

Awww..he's pretty cool. I hadn't seen a piece before that had flash cured so thankyou for that...the whale is awesome ❤😊

[@emadalzahid3394]

The spirit of easter is all about Hope, Love and Joyfull living. Happy Easter!

[@Ragdollangel62]

I love your resin pieces very much, however I wish you did more acrylic pouring. Acrylic pouring is the reason I started to watch you.

[@fairyspunfibers9098]

That's how I started, too, ages before she started with resin. But, for some reason, the resin work totally grabbed me, and I've never looked back.

[@christines2451]

I can understand what you are saying. But there are a ton of others that only do acrylic pouring on KZbin as well. I love that she is doing different things now. I just love to watch these artist and see them do whatever they choose because it is making them happy which in turn makes a great channel and I feel so much happier after watching.

[@annagray6491]

Oo, it’s created it’s own resting foot! Loving the colour with those foils!

[@MargaretGeorgemgse]

An elderly whale with barnacles. Seriously cool!

[@marionsimpson9566]

Love your moulds, you do such a wonderful job making them. Love the whale.

[@cheriethompson7725]

I love the whale. Beautiful.! Thank you for sharing. Have a blessed week.

[@pearsrtasty3326]

You wouldn't be able to guess that is resin, that is all I can say. Nice work Julie, you created something out of resin, that doesn't even look like resin. I am very very impressed. I hope your mold is OK! And you are able to make us something very beachy themed with it. ;) Love from the PNW!

[@bmacdougall53]

I see it mounted on an old barn board from a fishing shack. 💜🙏

[@CoddiwomplewithGloria]

Love the way he came out. Much more "whaley" than if the foil had worked. We saw the whales up close and personal from our sailboat in Bahia Magdalena in Mexico. They came an rubbed their chins on the boat. They looked much like this one, but blue silver. And BIG! Our boat was 50 feet, and all our "visitors" were longer. Thanks for reminding me of that experience.

[@barbaramchale1306]

This whale looks awesome!!! I really like the copper with this foil!

[@glorialove7312]

Really love the way the eye turned out!

[@pugwash84]

a whale the colour of space with the stars would look so beautiful

[@AwesomeIncidentals143]

Beautiful!... I love this mold and am working on a beach themed oned....lol....thanks again Julie for sharing your talents and discoveries!!!!

[@fairyspunfibers9098]

*Julie:* I want some copper to show through...I don't want to cover the whole thing with foil... *Also Julie:* Covers whole thing with foil... 😅😆💕👍 I'm very surprised how the copper took over...how did it do _that?_ Wow...who knew!? But, Julie, your whale is *_gorgeous!_* Yes, it looks like a patinaed metal. That foil is amayyyzing! I have never seen anything like it on the market, so I'll go have a look for it. That foil and copper powder would be gorgeous in the puffy hearts, btw! 💕❤💕

[@katstorm13]

I wonder if maybe the copper powder was heavier than the foils and sunk, pushing the foils out of the way. Just a guess I've never worked with resin but know that some powders sink lol.

[@Papyrius]

😂❤

[@janicetaylor2486]

Turned out like the patterning on a whale. I love him ❤

[@nurbee77]

Not boring at all. I enjoy your videos. Thank you for sharing the work you do without editing. ❤❤

[@bonitagoodwin5086]

❤ he is beautiful! I love how he turned out ❤

[@dalemaclaren7576]

Oh Julie, look at that gorgeous mold!!! Absolutely a must for me. I like this look. So looking forward to seeing more of your videos using this mold. Take care and keep enjoying ❤

[@soxpeewee]

You can even use cooking spray if you don't want to use mold release spray on your molds and it helps extend the life of the mold.

[@alcg3981]

That's what I use, and then kind of dab the mold since the spray is not a fine one.

[@Nirrrina]

Wait you can use cooking spray? Like Pam? That would be awesome.

[@maiaallman4635]

Thank you so much for the tip!

[@wilhat]

It looks ok 👍

[@llamasugar5478]

This would be gorgeous mounted on weathered wood. It has the look of an old tavern sign from a coastal town. 🧡

[@maddieadams75]

Love the Humpback Whale 🐋 mold ❤ wow it turned out great,

[@SelenesCreationsByTheSea]

Didn't think it would turn out that coppery BUT it still looks great. I was thinking of what it would look like in dark blues

[@narellell2m]

Still absolutely stunning! 💖 💖 💖

[@bmacdougall53]

I think he is perfect. But, isn't he upside down? Blessings from Maine 💜🙏

[@LacyDowson]

He looks like he is a bit backwards and upside down. Great color though

[@bmacdougall53]

@@LacyDowson that is what I see, hahahaha But, great out come 💜🙏

[@triciac1019]

That's just beautiful!

[@loisbradley1201]

I love the patina effect! Well done Julie, well done!😊❤🐋

[@Worthi_Creations]

I love it! The colors are beautiful

[@alcg3981]

Almost a Camo Look! I wonder if some of the foil would shine if sprayed with a glossy sealer? The same as for that Little Bunny... Hmm, lots of 'I wonders' 😅😊.. in any case, it turned out wonderful!

[@lesliespiers8407]

the whale mold is awesome....

[@Stephanie_Hancock]

Wow, I love the look before you even put resin in him. That foil is awesome. He's very cool looking. Yeah, I think maybe you broke up the foil a bit too much. Not what I was expecting, but very rustic looking. Yes, play more with him, pebbles and foil again. xoxoxooxoxoxox

[@siobhankirk9320]

Beautiful creation ❤️

[@pamcolechadwell1302]

Very cool, I love the colors.

[@random_destination81]

Ive been using epoxy at its pastee form with black to make my details in my fondont molds to make detailed vasses with butterflies birds and flowers

[@barbjalcorn]

It’s a shame he didn’t come out the way you were hoping but I still think he’s very cool. I imagine an older whale with green barnacles on him. Thanks for all your hard work 🇦🇺❤️

[@karenyork6894]

How lovely!

[@klairbaranek]

I love the whale 🐋 idea 💡

[@sherimiller5857]

I am always amazed by your work!

[@debranewbigging641]

It turned out pretty cool. Very interesting look.❤

[@devineartist6129]

Love it love it love it....

[@fairyspunfibers9098]

Wow, I actually caught this 6 minutes after it posted! Must be some kind of record, for me. 😅 Now, to settle in and watch!

[@TheBlaktygres]

Just downright beautiful. But I'm wondering if putting a thin layer of resin & curing it to a tacky state first which should help with keeping your foil from flying away & ensuring the foil will be visible in the end product? But nonetheless, your work & creativity is amazingly beautiful.

[@donnahanna10565]

Julie I'm writing this 8 months after you posted this but I think you can turn this into something incredibly beautiful with a little after finessing. You are a talented artist and I love how you reach for different effects with things you have in your supplies. Like you said you didn't know what you were going to do with this stripe you foil but I think what you were going for what's a wonderful idea and I think you should try it again. But back to this piece I think if you maybe kind of did some after work with maybe some acrylic paints and maybe a top coat you could turn this into something incredibly unique. You have great instincts and I wish you really truly understood what a gift that is. Van Gogh passed away not knowing what an incredibly brilliant artist he was and I think that's the mark of a true artist you're never happy completely with what you do. I really love that you showed this because you give me an inspiration to just go for it. And like some of your flowers when the crystals weren't completely in the middle you would add little dots or extra pieces I love that. I hope you still have this piece and you bring it back out and Fiddle with it. I am one of those people too that sometimes cannot stop myself and I fiddle it into a big mess. But then I have stripped it clean and went back over it and it came out better even though it came out different than I want it then it would have if I didn't mess it up in the first place. Anyways I adore you in your your incredibly optimistic beautiful attitude you are a light❤

[@ethereal369]

I love your creativity! Your enthusiasm, passion and unique & beautiful projects make it easy to see why you have such a huge, devoted following! Can't wait to try this project, thank you!!

[@rhodanorton6944]

It has a natural look of some possible sea life that has attached to the whale. I think they are flippers!

[@jackwelyndollar-duff7984]

Too crazy. I bought the same gold leaf- love it. Have used it on turtle shell❤

[@julieboatman7700]

I love it! I would use the foil again but us a mixture of silver, blue and abit of black on the fins

[@Papyrius]

It really does look rusted. I bet it would be awesome in a cool project for someone ❤

[@rburn99]

Try pointing a fan at deeper pours to keep them from flash curing. I check the surface temp of deeper molds with a laser temp gun and if it looks like it's starting to get too hot I point a couple small desk fans at the mold.

[@dawnr714]

Awe shoot. Resin has a mind of its own sometimes but thx for sharing!!! 💙

[@Maizy1985]

I love the effect Julie! As you said it looks like a patina effect...like metal, just gorgeous! I've just bought this mold and got my turtle at the same time yay! The others I bought while waiting for the turtle to become available came so quickly to SA...I'm doing lots of craftwork at the moment as rehab since I had a stroke in March and these are going to be perfect for me to work on:) Oh and the eye looks perfect with that little dot of copper in the middle and around the bottom of the eye. Thanks for the inspiration you give, Lynne from Adelaide Hills

[@arh272]

I love the overall effect, an interesting result 😊

[@debbiepeppers6446]

I love it ,itlooks like a rustyy old whale

[@marilynhansen7881]

I really liked how that turned out. 😊 Very beautiful! Did you make that mold , Julie? I certainly could see your vision using the foils. Regardless it turned out beautifully! ❤️ 🐋

[@bernettetodd2038]

Kinda makes me feel like he is an old soul that has been encrusted with barnacles and maybe seaweed for years. May not be what you were hoping for but has character.

[@melissawells6922]

Beautiful ❤️

[@sherryleggett1612]

Oh no, I wish you would stop creating these awesome creatures cuz I can’t afford to buy them all.

[@HIS_HER.O]

Same girl, same.

[@charlenelesher1198]

Absolutely!

[@klairbaranek]

Too true

[@Coyo-Tea]

Ditto

[@HIS_HER.O]

Girl! Sherry! Wait until you see today!!! Tuesdays video. Definitely caving….

[@janetdeloach8522]

It looks like an old model of a whale .. It is beautiful in its own fashion. Try making it with light blue or grey resin next time. Experiments rarely come out as we imagine... It looks great in aged copper....

[@elfiefromangelcity6142]

Next time around, I would "paint" the foil on with a thin layer of clear resin, or clear uv resin, let it harden, and then do everything else you did the same. I think you'll get more of the vision you were going for. It'll take more time, but the results should be awesome! It's very pretty, but like you, I wanted to see more of the foil also.

[@johnnieswearingen283]

Wonder what that foil would look like in those hearts!:)

[@barbjalcorn]

Hey Julie can you advise me how to put small magnets on the bottom of the mold so when I turn it out the magnets will be working on top of and embedded into the resin? I need to figure this out and them not float. Thanks in advance 🇦🇺❤️

[@Nirrrina]

UV glue might work.

[@shym9933]

I love it.

[@mookzmom]

Love that oil slick type of coloring. Most excellent, Miz Julie❤

[@elisashue5086]

Reminds me of the children's book Rainbow Fish.

[@joanstone4162]

Not what I thought it would be, but it is very nice.

[@OldsouLim73]

Awesome!

[@kim202]

I like it, the rustic look, maybe just mix the colour into the resin instead of painting on. Look forward to seeing the next one 🌺

[@germanmaria]

I like it!

[@elephantfeet280]

That foil you call it is coloured leafs similar to gold leaves they use on gold statues.

[@juanitawalker4836]

It turn out good.. I am looking forward to do mine now.. Thanks you Julie.. Happy Easter to you as well.

[@Sylkbuttafly]

Try putting a thin layer of clear on top of the foils. Then put your colors in

[@katstorm13]

Did they have similar foils but in silver tones? Like silver, pewter, antique silver, almost blackened silver varied colors on one. Then you could use the mica powder for the flippers and belly. Slightly realistic but also the pretty art aspect with the scale type foils.

[@gerripeter484]

WOW this is awesome love it 😍

[@LadySythe]

maybe next time with only the foil, silver flippers only and a deep dark oceanic grey-blue...? the resin would show through the areas where the foil is thinnest and five a different effect

[@LisaVornhagen]

That did not turn out how I expected it was going to. That's not a bad thing. It's really kind of cool. It almost looks like it's metal and not resin. A very interesting result.

[@ChibiChula]

Very interesting look. Not what you were going for but still gorgeous. Admittedly, I'm not the type that goes for rustic things but I can see the appeal. Thankfully your mould wasn't ruined. 😅👍 BTW, I think that foil would work great in a mermaids tail! 😉

[@liepoldfamilyfarms9643]

Not what I was expecting, I was surprised so much copper

[@christineingram55]

Foil is transparent that’s why you lost the effect once you added the heavier powder.Try the body without next time,you may need to have a transparent foil inside instead of the black.Test a small area like in one of your hearts to see what works.These foils look amazing added to the acrylic pours to add interest to areas ,you can make sports of glue then add ,or areas with lines in ,in fact your imagination can create all sorts.?but best to test on small areas before bigger areas.The foils are very thin and transparent,compared to the other types.That’s why these are classed as leaves..I do love Wales and other sea creatures they look amazing decorations in a bathroom 🥰

[@nicholas87541]

Nice whale, the finished look is quite awesome! It has a bit of an old worn look to it. Have you ever done a dolphin before?

[@marilynhansen7881]

Oh a dolphin! How beautiful that would be?!❤🐬

[@RaesTurquoiseTurtle]

Not at all what I expected the copper really took over but make it very vintage and cool! I think the foils all over the body and the copper just the fins and fluke (tail) then poured in a blue epoxy maybe 🤷‍♀️

[@LostSiren13]

Barnacle effect. ❤

[@davedavem]

Inspiring

[@lesleyhenshaw2878]

Moon and stars, a galaxy would be cool

[@rbebut1]

Next one you have to make the under belly of the mouth an off white. the tail the same or maybe the inside white and the outside your choice of color. The eye may be worked on with a white on the edge and black on the center. A color for the iris. Use masking tape to create a motif for the body.

[@TinaArtuso-tx6vc]

Next time I would try putting the foil in whole then using some tape to remove parts of it. Looks cool as is though.

[@mavanie]

nice Humpback Julie. I think the appendages are called fins.? I know the tail is called a Fluke & each Whales Fluke is like Human fingerprint.Need more money to buy more of your molds, Did you make this Whale mold? We get a lot of Whales June to August.I love the colour you see just before the whale emerges,a beautiful mix of turquoise blue/green.Not so noticable with Orcas or maybe I need my glasses all the time!!! I always learn from your videos. Must admit I miss your acrylic pours a bit but am also loving the resin. Is there no end to your talents??Finally heading over your way after many years of saving your Spring time,can't wait.

[@marieround8140]

Cool !!

[@katstorm13]

I wonder if you could also make something with these foils, then use both copper and turquoise powders for patina? One of the sea creatures would look really cool I think, they go with kind of that marine decor like sunken ships or old submarines etc. Don't know if I explained that right lol

[@kim202]

Been trying to find a good rainbow trout mold if you can get them? 🤓🐠

[@phayroent9742]

I wonder how heavy these larger pieces are. I don't think resin gets super dense, but they seem like they'd have a bit of heft to them.

[@sherryleggett1612]

Looks like the copper has its green patina. I guess it was a copper statue.

[@laurastoneking6278]

Happy Easter Julie and to your whole family 🐣🐇 Love your whale 🐋 it's so gorgeous 😍

[@rosehalpin8108]

I would recommend trying glue the foil on there that you had. And clear coat it

[@mariverhagen8082]

It looks like it has barnacles. So cool!

[@MrsLisaCrow]

Very cool. I'm wondering how the Mica slipped underneath the foils. That's so weird.

[@alcg3981]

I wonder if coating the mold with that 'Deco' type of glue that stays tacky, then applying foils would prevent that? I've used that technique on a much smaller scale and it worked. 🤔

[@kathleenlsaavedra9828]

I am confused. What if the foil was placed with the design face down? I think everything you do is stunning!!
