[@lynwoods4375]

The flake are my favourite, never thought glitter could be rubbed into the mould thanks for that great tip. I love you latest music choices.

[@miniscenesgb]

Oh thank you! The music is my AI made music :)

[@SkitchBean_aka_Christine_E]

For me, the definite winner is the flakes. Somehow, they always make everything better. ❤ I love the crafting song.

[@miniscenesgb]

Yes those flakes are just amazing. Glad you like my song

[@user-ks7gf3pz7t]

The chameleon flakes are the clear winner. Love the musical interlude.😊

[@miniscenesgb]

Stunning aren't they. Would have been even better if I had burnished them in better to I think

[@sugargmum4517]

They all look great but as you say the flake one's stand out more.😍 The one's with the flakes in the middle stand out good as well.🤩 Great crafting song 👍

[@miniscenesgb]

Glad you like them, yep n the flakes are amazing

[@CynthiaPrice79]

Idea: Burnish your “crystal” areas with your chosen material. Then, use a marbled mix of opaque resin in your chosen colors as your pour. I’ve seen some other channels experiment with that recently. Also, using translucent resin for the crystals, and Resin Crete or an Eco for the stone. Again, with the incomplete mix of the pigments.

[@miniscenesgb]

That was kinda what I was trying to do with some of them. The marbling is tricky on such a small scale but I must try. I was trying to do different to other channels. I'll keep playing and try that one again :)

[@cwv-artistry]

[@miniscenesgb]

Glad you like them Sudha!

[@CynthiaPrice79]

What I’ve seen a couple other crafters do: specifically painting the mould with the powder of choice, then burnishing it in where you want it to be. With chameleon flakes, and metal leaf, I’ve seen them applied before and after curing.

[@miniscenesgb]

That is what I do in this video :) I was trying several techniques - that is the technique in use in most of them after the first batch. it's the most common method

[@CynthiaPrice79]

It’s always a bit funny to me, when I see the mail technicians I follow, and the resin artists I follow, using the same products. As in, I specifically recognize that packaging.

[@miniscenesgb]

Yes a lot of nail products work fir resin and visa versa

So many options! 💜 I have a single geode mould I bought cheap that has some defects. After watching this I'll try to colour the rasied middle bit in gold mica and then pour a few colours resin on top like one usually does geode coasters.

[@miniscenesgb]

Great idea, certainly worth a try

[@lizlizardbreath1]

Love them all. Thinking a picture frame with some embellishments would be lovely.

[@miniscenesgb]

Interesting - would you explain what you are thinking more please Liz? I'm intrigued

[@lizlizardbreath1]

[@DeborahOlander]

I think your instinct to put something different around the edges and sticky up bits is correct. That will highlight the live edges better.

[@miniscenesgb]

Thanks for watching, glad you like them. Did you get them from Toonpish as the stockist or direct from the Tiny Turner as a matter of interest?

[@WendigovanStudio]

@@miniscenesgb I bought my original sets from WEndy at Toonpish and got everything she had. Although I had to go to The Tiny Turner's website to get the flakes and a few new colours this time. I will have the complete collection when they all arrive. I will be able to sit and drool all day long 🤣

[@selene4621]

The colours you used are just simply gorgeous !!! I was wondering with the centers could you fill them with resin would that give it a more defined 3d look ??? LOVE the black backing always brings out the colours

[@miniscenesgb]

That's a good idea, definitely worth a try

[@CynthiaPrice79]

If you’re concerned about floating particles, you can just shake them out over a receptacle of your choosing after you’ve burnished them in.

[@miniscenesgb]

Yes I do, if I don't want them to float. often put them back into the original pot if they are clean :)

[@meintsgwen]

I would put white on raised areas. That might help

[@miniscenesgb]

Good idea

[@miniscenesgb]

Neat idea thank you

[@pbgreenroom]

If you'd like then to look realistic, I think I would go around with pipet in a couple of colors and then pour clear mixed with a tiny bit of etherial interference color in the middle to give the raised crystals an extra sparkle.

[@miniscenesgb]

Good idea. they are so tiny a pipette would help a lot I think

Hi, I'm new to your tutorials and I'm glad I found you. I think the flakes are best, but ALL are gorgeous. I really love the music, very fitting.

Hope you're having a great weekend. Take care, and have fun xx❤❤😊😊

[@miniscenesgb]

Thank you so much! I have loads of real geodes. it's replicating them in resin that is tricky Not too difficult on a larger scale but these are soooo tiny :)

Maybe - it's a good idea :)

[@tammytoth5874]

Maybe do gold around the center pieces then do the chameleon flakes??

[@miniscenesgb]

definitely worth a try thanks

I wonder if you used the ethereal in the center and the darker chameleon around the rest if you'd get a good effect. Thanks for sharing your experiment.

You have a geode invasion, they are all gorgeous, thank you Tracey. Love them. X❤ Are they big enough to put more than one colour in, maybe a lighter one in the centre, and darker as you go towards the edges xx

[@miniscenesgb]

Yes they are. I kinda tried that when I mixed Mica in. I need a smaller brush lol

[@adelealdridge2080]

Could you do them in a colour then maybe get some coloured uv and put in the spaces like fill them in

[@miniscenesgb]

Interesting idea, i think that has potential :)

[@helenm6543]

I'd try using the glitter or chameleon flakes only on the center(raised bits). Then I would use a pearlescent for the remainder in a lighter color matching the center, like glitter in a dark purple and the rest in a lavender pearl. It should make your center crystals pop. Or do that in reverse, crystals light and the rest dark. Either way, your center will be the spotlight. Did any of that make sense?😊

[@miniscenesgb]

that's kinda what I tried to do with the pinky ones, just not very well lol. It should work yes

[@nancylevinson3353]

Definitely chameleon flakes

[@miniscenesgb]

Yes I agree

[@kareykins]

I have this mould and was really disappointed in the lines on the bottom, I think it would be so much better completely flat.

[@miniscenesgb]

I agree. i think they were trying to make like cut lines but I;m not sure

[@Lana.Lulu.]

I almost want to see a dull milky thin layer down first and then put a layer of your sparkly bits for the middle and then top the back off with black... Does that make sense? I feel like most geodes have the sparkly insides, whereas you are doing the sparkles throughout the whole thing...🤷‍♀️😅

[@miniscenesgb]

Yes that sounds like a great plan thanks :)

[@vinkkt]

Hi how about using the powders over the holes and then cover them with UV resin so that it is clear then fill the rest with the darker PU resin.

[@miniscenesgb]

Neat idea, thanks

[@Prettynotpurrfectcrafts]

I need a clear Pu for notebook covers, this looks like a perfect choice thanks. All the colours you used look stunning, what are you going to use all those cool geode shapes for?

[@miniscenesgb]

No idea to be honest. Someone suggested just put them all in a bowl, someone else said they would be fab wire wrapped - so I'm totally open to suggestions. Yes I have used clear PU for things like that, works a treat

[@Prettynotpurrfectcrafts]

@@miniscenesgb Wire wrapping would look lovely, what unique necklaces they'd be. I put sand in some PU for a sea scene the other week didn't even consider it might hold moisture, whole thing started bubbling up and flash cured in the notebook mould as a massive lump. It was Steve McDonald that pointed out the water issue.

[@miniscenesgb]

Yes wire wrapping is a great option. Re sand = Try Coral Sand, it's for marine aquariums and it's lighter coloured which looks good in resin and if you get a sealed bag from an aquarium supplies store it's been sterilised and super dried. so if you keep it in a sealed container it will stay that way

[@Prettynotpurrfectcrafts]

Thanks so much i didn't know this i will look online now

[@thelmachase4861]

I think they're simply gorgeous, but what do you do with them

[@miniscenesgb]

Exactly. I'm stumped . necklaces or keychains maybe, but that's not the most inspiring is it lol

[@MrsLisaCrow]

You could arrange them in the bottom of a coaster. Sort of like a nest Then take one of your dragon figurines or something such as and prop it in the middle and fill with resin. I would let the geodes sit above the surface slightly in the coaster. Now you'll have a display as well. Am I making sense?
