🚗 Side by side comparison, V1 and V2. I really didn't think the original large dragon mould from Pouring Your Heart Out could be topped, but yes! Version 2 is out and - it's bigger! Here's my review, comparing V1 and V2 side by side. Is it worth the expense, and how is it better than the original?

Tracey, when people nit pick at you, tell them to stuff it. You are spending your time doing these tutorials and it's no ones business if it is your money or products gifted to you from a person or a company. I am happy that companies donate products to you and other craters on here, you deserve it for all of your hard work. As for your nails, sugar dirty nails or chipped ones is a part of our lives during menopause and crafting. I'm coming up on 60 and my girls constantly bug me about getting my nails done and I just tell them it's a waste of time and money, they won't last and they'll get in my way. Julie's molds are amazing and if I lived anywhere but Canada I would be buying them like an insane woman. Shipping for us is again just a waste of money. You did an amazing job with the dragons, love all the color.

[@miniscenesgb]

Yeh shipping to here is expensive too. Worth it though :) I tried telling people to stuff it - then I got abuse about that lol. Then I found the hide button, sorted haha. re the purchasing vs gifting, we're obliged to be transparent about it - and I always make sure I am, integrity is a big deal and I'd rather people know the truth than imagine things anyway . Thanks for your support, I truly appreciate it.

[@georginagallagher2807]

Ignore the nasty comments. Can't believe how people are so rude, and hurtful. I LOVE ALL YOUR WORK. Thank you

[@miniscenesgb]

Thank you :)

[@paulinebradford4823]

Tracey, I had to have a hysterectomy at 40 . I'm 69 now, almost 70, and I still have the hot flushes now and then! I'm not saying that you will too, just that you are not alone in suffering with them. I once had such a bad one that I stepped outside in jeans and t-shirt, during a blizzard, and stood there for about 5 minutes! My husband thought I was nuts!

[@miniscenesgb]

B;ess you Pauline, thanks for this

[@leilalineberger995]

I’m 65 and went through menopause at 50. I still have hot flashes and in our weather here in the southeast of the US we have terrible humid hot summers. It’s so easy now to just overheat. I loved the summer when I was younger, now whew it’s it hard to handle the heat. ❤ 😊

[@miniscenesgb]

Bless you thanks. I am just having fun and hoping people like it :)

[@PecanBaby...]

Omg my heart goes out to you. I thought that I was the only one with a menopause that was never going to leave me. Mine started immediately after having my son and I still get the odd face flushing to this day but not as much, and he is now 19 years old. I sleep every night with a fan running close to me, and I was never given anything to help with it from my doctor. He claimed it would sort itself naturally, and I'm still waiting. I gave up complaining to the doctor after my stroke because I realised that I had better take more care of myself because I was at risk of another one. I love Julie moulds. I have several her Beta fish, Rose girl, and Large sea turtle, but I still want a couple of other ones her moulds are magnificent for sure and worth saving up for.

[@miniscenesgb]

Gosh Pecan that's rough, sending hugs :( And yes this new mould is amazing

[@stiffk666]

Oh bless. My mum is in the same boat and terrified of another stroke. I'm also in middle of menopause, at 48, on my own and crafting the time away. Have you tried red clover? It helped me but goodness, please don't take a strangers on KZbin recommendation without very carefully checking and enquiring if it's suitable for you please. I wouldn't normally share suggestions but I know how crappy it can get. Sending you virtual hugs too.

[@miniscenesgb]

@@stiffk666 Hugs to you and your mum

[@PecanBaby...]

@stiffk666 Sending hugs to you and your mum, I understand how your poor mother feels. Just make sure she doesn't over do stuff, getting old sucks.😮‍💨 I'm going to get my first Mri Scan on my brain this month to see how much damage was caused. I love crafting, and diamond painting was my favourite, but since my stroke plus diabetes my eyesight isn't great, so I decided to change to resin for a while. I'm on the waiting list for so many Mri scans it's embarrassing. 😅 I just gotta keep going because my son suffers from autism and requires my help more than most at his age. I must admit that I definitely would be lost without him. We have some really great laughs together.

Gad you like it Julie, I hope I did them justice. I was amazed how much bigger it is too. I know it's V2 and in soooo many ways a serious upgrade, but ill always live the original too and because of the quality I expect it'll last me for years and years too. Julie people have been asking if you are planning a baby version of this new huge one?

[@miniscenesgb]

@PouringYourHeartOut Julie I'm being asked if 1. there will be a baby version and 2. will these appear in your amazon store ( currently I direct people to your ebay store but some prefer Amazon). Could you let us know please? There sure seems to be a lot of interest in this incredible mould

[@resinmeup]

Tracy, I know what your going through, after the birth of my second I was 23 yo and went straight in and had to have a complete hysto. I have been through it surgically and naturally. Im 57 now and things are calming down a bit now, but what helped me because I couldnt take the meds was one of those cooling towels around my neck. I also know how what you mean about the nasty comments, I think those people have nothing better to do than to nit pick us. Great dragons, love the colors. Hang in there dear, your doing great.💞🤗😊

They are incredible. I do love dragons, I hope the charity I support will do well out of these as I plan to make lots for them

[@frans3474]

Those dragons are something else! Simply stunning I think I prefer the new version. And for those who think the molds are expensive, they need to realise how much time is spent making them, on top of the materials. And let’s face it, any craft is expensive. Yes, one can use all sorts of hand-me-downs or second-hand materials and achieve good results, but good/new materials make for outstanding results.

[@miniscenesgb]

Absolutely

[@miniscenesgb]

Absolutely

[@SkitchBean_aka_Christine_E]

Tracey, you have earned the respect of your viewers. Your nails are beautiful, but your soul is more so. You deserve freebies for show casing products you previously purchased because you really endorse the product. And I, too, have surgery induced menopause and know what you are going through. It surly is tough when the perspiration drips off into the resin you just poured. 😅. I thank my lucky stars that I found your channel and others from watching Claire's Crafty Corner. I appreciate your shout-outs to different products and the companies that make them. It helps me decide what to spend my money on. Thank you for sharing your knowledge with us all. ❤❤❤

[@miniscenesgb]

Thanks Stitch, your kind words mean a lot to me

[@kathrynseaman6482]

Beautiful dragons! The older one is more fierce than the new one but both beautiful! Love the messy! There's a commerical for Rice Crispies (cereal) you make into treat bars, which are very simple and no cooking. The mom is in the kitchen relaxing as the treats are done, family coming so she flings water on for sweat, flour to look messy and goes out with treats. Wiping her brow and signing etc, such hard work. Your mica flying reminded me of that , so messy makes it look like you're working hard! Just lean into it and have fun!

[@sueby1962]

Amazing job! My husband loves dragons! He would be a dragon if possible!! I would love to try my hand at that monster. I'll show it to the hubby. Maybe he will insist we get the mold...hmmm. I must plot and plan!! As for the menopause discussion..I'm going on 10 years with it and started naturally in my early 50's...I'm 61 now. It's not quite as bad as it was, the symptoms are lessening somewhat. I still get hot flashes. One minute I'm minding my own business and the next it feels like I've been set on fire. I look forward to winter. It can be -20° F and I'm outside with only a hoodie... well, I do wear pants.😉Sigh. Keep on making stuff, I'll keep watching. Again, amazing job on the dragons.

[@miniscenesgb]

Glad you like the dragons and good luck with your cunning plan. I had no idea Menopause could last this long, I'm amazed to hear from people like you who have had sumptoms for so long :(

[@DianasYTChannel]

Wow, Tracey! Those dragons are amazing. I saw Julie make her first one, it was amazing. I bought only one mold from her and that is enough for me. She is making a fortune from her molds. I told Claire a while back my hot flashes have been going on since spring 2003! Some ladies have them until they pass on. Hormones are horrible for us at this age. I went on Effexor for my anxiety and an added bonus was it reduced the effects of the hot flashes. I was overjoyed because when they’d come on I’d become nervous and my mind would go blank. They’d last anywhere from five to ten minutes and I’d get three an hour! After they ended I’d be freezing. I still feel them, but only slightly, trying to come through. I was absolutely miserable. Bad thing is, I’ll have to be on the Effexor for the rest of my life. 😡 I need more ice water. The horrendous heat here is dangerous. 🥵

[@miniscenesgb]

Yeh I'm on anti depressants too, Citalopram. Not because of menopause but because of a breakdown I had a number of years ago following a particularly icky incident that I won;t go into. We are nt alone - hugs

[@DianasYTChannel]

@@miniscenesgbOkay, I won’t pry. I just hope you don’t suffer the hot flashes, and all else that comes with it, as long as I have. 🤗

[@angiemills4070]

I'm 49 and I've been perimenopausal for over 5 years. Every time my symptoms start to ease, I'll have a random period and start all over again. I now carry a small, hand-held rechargeable fan in my bag wherever I go for what I call the nuclear meltdowns.

[@miniscenesgb]

Yeh we become experts on and hoarders if fans don't we. If only it was a shorter period :(

Thanks - and poor you, menopause when you live somewhere that ht must be awful

[@Tiatake]

Not enough people make these conversations normal. Thank you for that! I'm pre and hot flashes don't run in the family, but my bestie is a bit older and I went through it with her. We talked about how many things she had to refreeze because she'd bury herself in popsicles and frozen veggies lol. It was about a year for her. I hope it ends soon for you

[@miniscenesgb]

I've not checked out Julie's stuff for a while so thank you for reminding me and showing us such a fantastic mould. Even if the huge resin cost is probably my months budget, haha

[@miniscenesgb]

[@miniscenesgb]

Thanks, I was so pleased with them too

[@samanthacunningham2802]

Julie is lovely and I now have 30 plus molds from Pouring Your Heart Out and I wish there was a smaller dragon as the amount of resin needed is a good amount to experiment and do something different in.

[@miniscenesgb]

There was a small version of V1 of these, I have it and it's adorable. I hope she does a baby version of this new one too, it's so lovely, I think it would be fab as a small version too

[@radlamb593]

Gorgeous dragon!! I struggle with my sweaty hands in gloves too. My solution is to fill an old cotton sock with baby powder and I use it like a chalk bag. I fiddle with it then put my gloves on. Just enough powder for a light layer, we aren’t rock climbing here 😂

[@miniscenesgb]

cool idea, I bet for most that would work well. I did try it but the talc turned to glue. My hands are just dripping with sweat and burning when I hot flush :(

[@miniscenesgb]

Thank you! And oooh one day I would love to visit the Caribbean

[@kangel7906]

The dragons came out beautiful. I must say though I do like the intricate details on the first mold better i.e. the mouth open and the toe nails. As for Menopause, some get flushes more intense than others, I am now 60 and have been flushing for about 9 years lol. For me it has raised my body temp which change what I could wear to bed. I read the other comments about people still being mean, as I victim of bullying it very much pisses me off that they think being a keyboard warrior is ok and picking on things that is none of their business is ok. It's time they learnt to praise someone for their work and if they don't like it then don't watch. I am glad you found the hide button. Keep up the good work !!😊

[@miniscenesgb]

yes I think both moulds have their merits, I'll always still love the first one too. Yes re your comments on Menopause, we vary so much. I was a victim of bullying as a kid, the impact on my life since is still substantial. Online bullying still happens even at my age. It's scary when it comes from influential places too. but - it is what it is. Life goes on :) Thanks for your support. I'll be putting out info on the other charity I support soon, it's the Anti-Bullying Alliance

I love Julie's moulds and her videos, I watch her all the time and I know she does her best to keep costs down for her customers and is always apologetic if costs are high. When i see someone else using her moulds I try to guess if they are hers till the artist confirms it, I think her moulds are recognisable anywhere. It's nice to see you showing both her old and new ones.

I love your videos! I don't usually comment but the menopause talk was spot on. I worked in the medical field for many years, so I thought I "understood" it.

Now I give my friends who are getting to the age of natural menopause the truth about it.

[@miniscenesgb]

Glad you like my videos thank you. I don;t usually comment on menopause and other such issues in my life, as I said this is a craft channel so I usually keep things like that out of it but since I struggled a lot when making this video, I did and I've been surprised how many have commented and are suffering too. As you come from the medical field and have a similar experience to me - what do you think about the issue of our bodies being forced into it rather than having the opportunity to go through the build up phase naturally? is it worse/better...

Oh, hon.. Being dripping sweat down my legs, down my face, my sweat dripping from my face onto my projects, and the sweat pouring out of my gloves.. It happens, absolutely. I use talc or yarrow root powder before putting on my gloves, and "double glove", i.e. put on powder, put on one pair, and put powder on the gloves, then put on another pair. That way, I can remove one pair, and not have to change pairs, because even powder doesn't stop the fact that it's like a mini waterfall when I take them off.

My skin is literally burned, and I'm cooking from the inside! Boy, howdy.. This is sure unique! I've been menopausal since I was 18 though, because of the removal of my uterus. I'm 44, and I'm pretty used to the effects by now. You have my empathy. It *sucks*. Your whole life seems to switch to revolving around trying hard not to wear clothing that will stick to you when you sweat, mood swings, and time in the toilet.

[@susanpickup9497]

A possible idea for the sweaty hands situation, is something that some people do as part of their regular resin procedure, is to get some fine cotton gloves that are worn under the regular gloves. They will absorb sweat, and make it easier to put on your nitrile gloves. I would suggest getting a few pairs, and use as required. You can use the cotton gloves through a couple of changes of the disposable gloves, so probably each resin session would require new cotton gloves, then wash and reuse. I know that menopause sucks. Good luck! PS. Temu has 6 pairs for about A$5.

I like both molds but honestly I prefer the original. I see the new one and I think well that looks mass produced not hand made with love. Julie's molds are very costly here in the states but if you know of any companies based in the US that have hand crafted molds id really love the info. I'm not big into dragons myself but these are gorgeous! Beautiful color combo! Great work as expected ❤ oh and I was also sent into menopause through surgery the final time. I've went through it 4 times I was medically put into menopause 3 times and the hot flashes OMG it's truly awful I completely sympathize with you. I've been dealing with it on and off since I was 21 but in 2012 I had to have the surgery and it's been non stop since actually this is the first summer I've had that it's not been horrid on me since that time. You are at the end window so just hold on keep a misting bottle of ice water close by to spray your face and head with it truly helps and those cooling blankets are supposed to be amazing as well so id definitely invest in one of those. The hormone pills help a little bit but not nearly enough. That combined with one of the hottest summers is literally the absolute worst I could imagine especially since I was going through the exact same thing last summer during a time that our air conditioner was down I truly thought I was going to have a heat stroke so please take care of yourself and if you feel too hot take a break and cold shower or whatever you need to do to cool down and prevent anything catastrophic much love sweet girl ❤

I'm not sure im in a position to give advice, I'm certainly no expert. I had TAHBSO surgery at 49. All I would say to you is if you do have to have it, yes recovery is very painful at first but by goodness it's quicker than I expected. And it was life changing, other than menopause when my body hadn't even started getting ready for it. The doctors really now what they are doing with the various types of hysterectomy, so if you have to go with that, be assured that the really know what they are doing :)

@miniscenesgb thank you. Don't worry I didn't expect medical advice! Thank you for letting me know. Also my mum SWORE by black cohosh (sp?) For her hot flashes. She couldn't take HRT (previous cancer) and she could really tell the difference if she forgot to take it. Also I wanted to highly recommend something random to help at night. I run very hot so I invested in a special brand of pillow with cooling technology. I swear to you my fiancee can't use it as he says its too cold!!! I LOVE it, it's not cheap but it is life changing if you get too hot at night. It's temper cool and you have to buy the pillowcase, that's the magic stuff! The pillow is a lovely pillow too! Shop around, not cheap but absolutely worth it. I hope this helps 🥰🥰🥰

Is there a way that you know of, to check what the exchange would be to US dollars and the exchange for pounds to US. I hope this all makes sense. 😂 It’s very exciting to see you using mica powder with the alcohol (99%). I have both, I’ve had the mica powders for a while with now real ideas how to use. I’m just kind of having a conversation with you. 😂 I’m sorry if it’s too much. I do love watching you!

when you go to buy it will convert Au Dollars to US Dollars for you. in the mean time you can just ask google what the exchange rate is. Not sure why you want a conversion from GB pounds? These are from Pouring Your Heart out and Julie is in Australia. I shall go easy on the alcohol when I do that to minimise the potential to damage the mould.

Tracey both the dragons turned out fabulous. With regards to menopause, sadly it's never over. Once you hit it, that's it for the rest of your days. You should check out Dr. Mary Claire Haver here on yt. Don't listen to fearmongering docs. No reason why you can't be on hrt for the rest of your days. They'll be prising mine from my cold dead hands. I'm 54 and 10 years into it and couldn't get a doc to prescribe hrt for me so I sourced it myself and will NEVER come off it. If you're on bioidentical hrt it protects you from heart attacks, strokes, alzheimers, bone loss... the list goes on. Going without hormones means early demise sadly. Don't let any doc do that to you. Unfortunately docs aren't trained properly in hrt and a lot of them are working on the WHI study from 2001 which was seriously flawed and was using non-bioidentical hormones.

I had to come of HRT. My surgeon is a world leading physician - nothing to do with scaremongering. She is THE expert on HRT so what she says goes. There were risks starting to rear their heads.
