[@Dark_Vixens_resin]

Your table is fine and you don't need to keep wiping, don't listen to the haters, if we all listened to the haters there would be no creators, be yourself not what others want you to be

[@miniscenesgb]

Thanks for your support. The irony is the one the person said was "filth" was a brand new mat and mould - first use!

[@WendigovanStudio]

Tracey, I totally agree with this comment. Ignore the haters. They don't seem to have anything better to da with their sad lives. I had 1 person actually moaning about me breathing ffs. This got to me a little but it worked out in my favour in the end as it pushed me to getting a separate mic from using the 1 on my iPhone. Makes a huge difference and it's 1 less thing I need to worry about lol. I didn't bother deleting it and thankfully there's always a better watching/viewer out there willing to put them straight. Also it helps with the algorithm as it's still a comment which helps lol. All the best, Diane xx

Mess is a part of creating. Without mess your not creating. A mess on the crafting-table is better than a messy mind 😂

[@miniscenesgb]

Lol true :)

[@VickyShawcooksalot]

Tree has an enamelled look to it. I do like the Istoyo micas I've been seeing. I want the mixer from them. So I want that kit. And I want the kit that Hippie Crafts has. Like you said can never have too much. Doing all this resin has me wanting to make soap again. 😅😇 And call me crazy but I swear that coaster has a face in there. 😅 Kind of looks like an owl. 😄

[@miniscenesgb]

Sort of does, I agree

[@CreatingwithWinglessAngel]

I love the colors, and Istoyo really come through with their products. Lovely tree 🌳 in you didn't know the condiment cups open for more resin and mixing capacity.

[@miniscenesgb]

ah I didn't - nor did I know what those were called lol. Thanks

[@caligurl56xoxo]

They both turned out beautiful . Crafting is messy, don't worry about it too much ❤. Im thinking the unfinished wood absorbed the resin.

[@miniscenesgb]

Yes it may have. did cause a nice sort of enamelled effect as a result of that slight sinkage

[@evelynbrown5312]

I'm so jealous of all these colours you have, I don't have a lot, just some I got in packets from Amazon a few years ago to use in crafting and since starting resin, i've bought a few from Temu. I adore mica powders but need to wait till I can afford some more. I do love my heat mat, i've did some small projects this week that have cured in a couple of hours on medium heat, amazing. Now going to try the letters mould. Love the tree 😊

This is actually stunning! I have a few similar wood pieces from the Dollar store that I've been so nervous to do something with, but you've given me the confidence to try them!!

[@miniscenesgb]

Go for it and have fun! If the back is open just stick masking tape, resin tape, transfer tape or offcuts of adhesive vinyl - anything like that, firmly onto the back, do your resin then remove the tape oce cured. works a treat

[@Jellybean_Craftz]

Thought of you today… decided to re-arrange my room so I could get to things quicker… and couldn’t stop thinking about the troll who had nothing nice to say about your table… I always end up with resin in my hair, paint on my face and lots and lots of love on my table… just like every artist…. so for every idiot who says anything ignorant to you; just know that there are thousands of us who love you 🥰

[@miniscenesgb]

Hugs :) I got PU Resin in my hair this week -my poor hairdresser had to cut it out in my once every 4 months haircut hence why if you see me on camera soon my hair is shorter lol

[@sallymccornack122]

I think this is lovely. I wonder if you had adhered the top and bottom together with a thin layer of resin, it might have prevented the leakage underneath? Even so, it is lovely xx

[@miniscenesgb]

I did glue it all, just not thoroughly enough. PVA should have worked really. It's user error lol. Resin would have worked, just taken a heck of a lot longer to cure is all and I am impatient lol

[@paulaskuse559]

I love this one and I think you got the background of the tree spot on, solid black is sometimes a bit too hard and would of drawn your eye away from the beautiful tree. Looks more organic and natural as it is. All the crackle ones for the coaster I have seen (and no not done one so this is just a wonder) (and I think this one is stunning btw) the clear they put in they seem to really scarily ’dump’ the clear in faster and so the colours go right out to the very edge almost disappearing (just a ‘I wonder’ if it makes a difference) I’m getting paranoid that you might think I’m being critical which I would never do, this is 100% from a good place as always. 100% admire you for having the guts to go online. I have been talking about doing an Etsy shop for about 8 months and still not done it lmao 😅 (polymer clay items not resin)

Check out Clare's Styrofoam cut out wall. She took a PC of Styrofoam and cut out little compartments for each mica powder.

It's Shadow Foam that Claire and Wendy use. I got some but it's thick, I'd loose a lot of wall space with over 200 pots - and it'd take forever. I j ust keep mine in small toolboxes :) Also - I have zero wall space to use lol
