I can't believe I said Purple! 😂 I was meant to say that when I added the blue! 😂

Learning little by little great video thanks

[@kathleenbowden9732]

I just wanted to say, because u sounded quite disappointed with that last heart piece with the blue and yellow, it’s actually my favourite of all the pieces in this video. I love all of ur work, experiments as well but I would b so proud to make and wear a piece of jewellery that looked like that blue and yellow heart with the black background. I hope my resin art will b as good as urs someday x

[@janicescragg2388]

Thank you so much for all your hard work. No one really knows just how much effort goes into things like this behind the scenes. I have learned so much from your videos. Both the tutorials and the experimentation.

[@daniel..cooper]

Wow, thank you! :)

[@kttnlvr2bynxylee622]

I think it's all pretty!!

[@PinkQueen86]

ooowww instead of putting black behind the negative spaces.. add chameleon.. its gonna be even more 3D 😍😍

[@wallywaffles1333]

1. Experiment videos like this are my absolute favorite. I've been doing a ton of experiments lately and it is so fascinating how they turn out! Love your focus on sharing your successes (and lack thereof) and your processes with us. 2. I just discovered your tiktok and it is really amazing - funny, charming, and just fun. 3. You have a lot of skill and talent and I really wish you could realize that and maybe be nicer to yourself? As you note, this is all fun and experimentation - so there's no need to call yourself an "idiot" or put yourself down. Resin is fun and you are amazing at it.

[@daniel..cooper]

Wow, thank you, I normally tell myself of but in a funny way. Yes, the experimenting is so much fun, I'm having lots of fun with UV resin at the moment, it's so versatile 🥰

[@221b-Maker-Street]

Daniel, I think you and I both paid attention in our Chemistry lessons about the same amount! 🤗🤪 You keep talking about *pigment,* but alcohol inks have zero pigment in them, because they're _dye-_ based, not _pigment-_ based. It helps me (a non-scientist) to think of pigment like stirring mud into water, and dye as stirring sugar into water. You can't easily separate out the sugar once dissolved, but you could always (if you could be arsed) eventually strain the mud from the water and end up with clear water again! So yes, Piñata's Blanco Blanco alcohol ink is not pigmented, but it is highly *saturated, transparent dye,* if that helps. 😊 Ultimately, I think you get what you pay for, and Piñata's inks are only more spendy because they're not watered down, like many other companies inks are. It's the heavy saturation that makes them denser, so they sink. Like a medium weight coat becomes heavy when saturated with water if you get caught in the rain. I think that's probably enough metaphors for today - fab video as always, and I love watching you on TikTok as well! 😬

[@daniel..cooper]

That's why I love this, you learn something new every day 😂. I should have concentrated more in class. I just presumed pigmented white as they always seperate in their bottles 😂. Thanks for that great tip 🥰

[@dianelefever3608]

Oh just have to say how much I love you!! I love love love how " normal " you present everything and can show real truthful things that happen with resin! Just know you are truly needed in the resin department. Lol I know because i have been doing resin for about 5 months or so. I am from the US.. you really are a breath of fresh air! Learning lots from you and enjoy the bloopers if you have any because i think bloopers can be a great way for us new resiners to feel better when it happens to us or really me. Lol

[@daniel..cooper]

Thanks so much Diane 🥰

[@andreajohnson4587]

Fabulous, thankyou 😊

[@pennyandersen8254]

My husband tells me ‘to leave the resin alone…!’ But alas, 😝. Hopefully watching your processes in this tutorial will help me do just that. Lovely work!❤

[@bevcarpenter8455]

Thankyou Dan, I am new to this art, and was getting a lot of blobbing!! It was so frustrating and I felt I was wasting precious ink! Will now try again 🙏😊

[@libbybankston9136]

Thanks, Daniel! I'm a newbie to epoxy and you inspire me to no end!

[@daniel..cooper]

Thank you so much for the Super Thanks Libby 😊

[@jeczaja5347]

Thank you-very helpful.

[@judymcelwee1078]

I like a bubble or two, they are neat. Everyone seems to fret over them, leave them. You do great work, you are talented and good at this art technique!

[@basementcreationsbyrhondat6995]

I see animals or fun little monsters in almost every piece in this video. Not in the flowers of course, but I think it’s so fun just to see what we see.

[@NinaHansen2008]

Thanks, Daniel

[@lorimontcalm9086]

I really liked the round one with the green, yellow.

[@alkalapasia9340]

Hello Sir, ur work is amazing. I hope after watching ur clip now i will also make this type of effect in my art . Thank you so much for this beautiful tutorial video.❤

[@daniel..cooper]

Thank you so much 😀

[@callyross7873]

that last one made me gasp, so pretty. some of them remind me of a black hole!

Thanks so much 🙏

[@leannemitchem8865]

They are stunning pieces. Very cool effect with the white. Thank you for sharing ❤

[@paintergirl5035]

Thank you! It took me a while to find an answer to my issue, but here it is. My pieces are getting much better now.

[@TonyaCorbett]

Carnival! Love it. Can't wait to try it!

[@nixonartgallery]

those "reachers" are amazing❤

[@AceKaci]

Great videos! I’ve watched several now. 😁 A trick for the roses, something I learned for nail art that might work for resin. Worth a try at least. Two different techniques for the same effect. First one, whichever direction you make the swirl, do a second swirl in the opposite direction, both starting from the center and working outward. Second way, start your swirl like normal, but instead of stopping at the outer edge, keep going in the same direction back toward the center. Either way, it leaves you with two swirls that intersect, leaving you with that distinctive triangular rose petal shape.

[@kathryncampbell3302]

Incredibly helpful! Thank you! 😎

[@rockmediauk]

Love the dimension, looks like oceans beds.

[@mauritsvw]

Thanks, very enlightening. I've found that the video works well at 1.5 times normal speed.

[@rachaelmoore3681]

You are the MASTER of alcohol inks! And I now understand what my “blobby” issue was! Thank You!!

You are awesome!! I enjoy your tutorials, thanks so much,

[@fibromyalgia_yarn_resin]

I love making petri dish looks. And I’ll see how let’s resin’s alcohol ink works. I do like the blobby look in some of my pieces. It makes them each unique but I do want to try yours as well. I also watched your 3d bloom video tutorial, and I’m going to try that as well! I also crochet, so I’m experimenting with crochet items and resin. All a work in progress!

I am just beginning to try these techniques with resin & inks. Thank you so much for your help! It's very well demonstrated and you helped me a lot!!

Thank you, I finially got pinata inks today, did 4 hearts, panicked when there was a skin on top when I went to stir, thought I'd done something wrong, you're the only one I've seen explain that the white does that.

Thank you! You,re the best!

[@Orca2019]

I think I should watch ALL your tutorials befor I do anything. lol I did one trial and used the white sinker and yes it blobbed. then I watched a tutorial and you referred to #22 which I just watched. Any ways my granddaughter thinks I did a wonderful job. And now I can improve! Thank you so much

I havent done anything yet but watched loads of video's and yours is simply the best. Your gentle, calming approach seems to make the information stay in my head. I want to sink acrylic and painted cut out afghan hounds into my work,and get the colors around them. Any ideas would be greatfully received. Could you do a video how to sink a flat detailed object into resin and still use alcohol ink with them? Thank you so much, Mo

[@daniel..cooper]

Thank you, you should be able to do that in one pour. Push down the acrylic and then add the inks after. If the acrylic for some reason floats, you will need to do it in 2 pours. Semi fill, add acrylic, let cure, top up and add inks. Maybe do a test run first, some paints can also bleed into the resin so testing is best 😁

[@bernycethompson4815]

Daniel thank you so much. I felt like this video was just for me! I also learned what might be wrong. I have no clue if my white is a sinker or not. About to correct that right now!! I’ll keep you posted!!
