54] Make a RESIN & Alcohol Ink PETRI - 12 piece SHOW & TELL - Full TUTORIAL

[@AnotherCatLady-]

You have the best laugh, I laugh along with you every time! And I gotta say, I love how much fun you have. You can really tell how much you enjoy creating and it's very inspirational. 💜

[@jlz5594]

Excellent delivery, clear tutorial. A pleasure to listen to your voice, Myriam...You kept me in suspense the whole time I was watching and listening and I found myself nodding when you made decisions about the test little pieces.The colors in the ocean/beach are well defined , in all a-most enjoyable tutorial !

[@MyriamsNature]

Many thanks for that JL!! I am simply delighted that you found it entertaining! 😊💕 😘

[@monikaburk2958]

You are my Wonder Woman, Myriam ... lol... your artwork is amazing and watching your videos is therapy for me. You are such a lovely person. Your laughing is contagious. Even if I have a bad day, you make me laughing too. I‘m looking forward to your Facebook group and your new page :)

[@MyriamsNature]

Awww, What a lovely thing to say ... Thank you Monika! 😊💕 You so made me smile!

[@CraftsWithKripa]

Do we have to add any mixatives to the resin before pouring the ink? I poured the alcohol ink and it seemed to just sink to the bottom of the resin

[@artfullivingwitharlene]

Hey there Myriam, beautiful work. I'm just wondering what do you do with these pieces? Sorry I'm not aware of how they are used? I think you mentioned jewelry maybe? I would think a necklace? How would you make it into one.

[@donnaheard4185]

Yet another great video Myriam! Love watching your videos!You mentioned wishing you could figure out a way to keep the white from coming through so much... I watched a video where the lady suggested that by using a thin layer of "tinted" resin (she used 2 different colors) and covering up the places where she dropped her color before putting the white down helped with the white dots a lot. Guess it helps keep the white from pushing through so far maybe? Hopefully this will be helpful to you as well. I've also watched resin pours where they've added an extra bit of clear resin in places where they wanted more depth or more of a "3D" look. Worked great for that too. TFS your talents with us!

[@MyriamsNature]

Thank you for that Donna! I really appreciate that kindness and the tips!

[@PerfectlyImperfectByCyndy]

I just want to say, even though I'm late to the party, I love listening to your smiling voice. It's obvious you enjoy sharing what you do. When you posted this you had just started your Facebook page, now you have over 6K followers! You can count me as one of them. Look at you grow!! I'm looking forward to watching more of your talent & hoping to become even a smidgen as imaginative 😊 Thank you & God Bless

[@marybarton5166]

Thank you for all you info ! Love your work ❤️..my husband wants beer caps in his . I’m worried about bubbles . Any info you can share .Also what do you charge for coasters??? \

[@salboutique]

OMG you are so funny!! Love your videos just to hear you laugh! 😂😂 And love your products too!! They are really amazing! 😊💖💕

[@laureenlarrow2063]

Been doing a lot with epoxy over the past month. See my page...all things fluid on FB. Have not promoted. Did cool beach coasters. Selling where I work. Love your videos.

[@dianagribble9928]

Hi Mayriam! I've been acrylic pouring/painting, decoupaging and a little bit of wood burning for the year and now on the resin kick. I've purchased a few products and have watched a number of your videos on hacks and clarity of molds to buy? And best place to buy IF you are not huge on Amazon? Also very interested in your opinion on alcohol ink vs resin dyes vs food coloring?

[@judysecor5855]

Ah, dear Myriam...still love your voice, especially when you're having a good time. You have a smile in your voice, kinda mischievous! And, yes I love to watch your tutorials. I always learn so much, so keep on doing them. Have a lot going on in my life right now, so I can't watch every one but hope to catch up in the future. I am trying to start my own business. Wish me well. I have fallen in love with acrylic art and the resin is wonderful. Want to learn everything I can. Thank you for sharing your test runs and your knowledge. God bless and keep you!

[@MyriamsNature]

Many thanks for your kindness Judy! I absolutely wish you well and much success with your business! I pray that you and your and endeavor be richly blessed! 😊💕

[@lisamb4269]

I LOVE listening to Myriam!!! ty for the tips, especially the dollar tree ones!!!

[@judejudesdrums106]

Awesome I learned so much. All ready and set up for my first resining....yikes I’m so excited!

[@gailchapter9240]

You have really inspiredme, to the point that I finally ordered (your) resin (of choice) and am eager to start 'playing'. I also don't like so much white, which is why I most ofter like the back of a piece better than the front. If I mix my colors with the white, will they still sink?

[@mimiprays8288]

Love your work, but I don't facebook.😕 So you'll just have to share on both platforms. Lol..😊

[@MyriamsNature]

I will try my best to keep both platforms interesting and full of info. 😄💕 Thanks for the kindness!

[@stephaniesinnott6587]

Yes lots of tutorials. I love working with resin and alcohol ,not that I'm good, as I'm still experimenting. I purchased you resin cup and square molds. I had been working with tile but now want to try the sq molds when I get them. Thanks for all the tricks and lessons you provide. I will try again to get on your facebook page. I must be doing something wrong.

[@surfmomma1949]

I loved the beach scene! I live by the beach in Florida so I think you did a great job. Now the “bottom” looks like an underwater reef in shallow water and the white looks like coral. I love it!!! So beautiful!

[@robinjohnston7986]

Love your video’s and ideas. Things you make and do are beautiful. You explain so well!

[@susanchamblee2549]

Oh Myriam please don’t stop these tutorials...!! I love the alcohol inks and they do scare me a bit because of the white needed. Do you always have to use the white? And when you say you used ‘mica’ - did you mean the powder - which is what I have. I also have both Piñata and Ranger paints and some petal colors. I’m a jeweler by trade (well for the past 4 years...LOL) but now that I’m doing resin projects - I am loving it!! I started doing pressed flowers for cabachons then moved on to steam punk and now I’m doing UV resin with magnetic nail polish and magnets with color shifting paints and polishes. Very cool. But I have ALL this alcohol ink and I really want to learn how to unleash my inner-petri style and your videos are immensely helpful!! Plus I LOVE your LAUGHTER...!!!! :)) So please do more🙏 Thank you so much for sharing your time,talent,expense and expertise with us!! I just love your videos - wish I lived right next door to you...LOL!! Thanks again Myriam with a ‘Y’...😍

[@MyriamsNature]

Hi Susan! The white alcohol ink need not scare you! When working with the inks in resin, the reason we need the white is in order to push the other colors down through the resin. Unlike the colors, which are dye based, the white is pigment-based and therefore heavier. If left alone the other colors would rarely sink and would usually just sit on the top surface. I sometimes add mica to some resin as a colorant, and to add a little shimmer. For that, ANY mica will do: Pearl Ex, mica for soap makers, old eye shadow... literally whatever you have on hand. Because it’s a dry medium you can add it liberally (though a little goes a long way). I’m happy to hear you’re having so much fun with resin. I wish you endless success with it! Happy art-ing! 😊💕 If you’re on FB, I’d love to have you join my group... there are a lot of alcohol ink and resin artists sharing their work, resources, etc. It’s a great place to ask questions, get inspired, and show off what you make. If you’re interested, here is the link: facebook.com/groups/Myriams.Fluid.Art.Tribe 😊 Many thanks for your very kind words!!

[@susanchamblee2549]

Myriam's Nature Thank you Myriam!! I’m headed over to FB now.

[@robynjustrobyn1014]

I LOVE your work! And you are just gorgeous. I could watch you all day long. Thank you so much.

[@monicacamilli8942]

I'm so inspired by the back side to your beachy coaster. So marine like, alive. It could be shown in a little holder. 💕

[@tinaandfam4751]

Have you ever tried T-Rex Alcohol Inks?

[@stephaniesinnott6587]

How do you finish with the Resin. Do you paint it on or just use you finger to spread it around. I did a pour in a circular mold and after 24 hours it is still sticky. Did I pour too much in the mold?

[@ppastrana1672]

Loved this. Watching your videos as I’m a newbie and you are great!

[@Pashanny824]

Where you been Myriam? I’m watching reruns now.

[@shibibi1]

fluid physics. the white in the beach area was dragging the colour down, which pulls the water to where the beach was

[@rosietass7988]

Hello so I guess if you put white after every color like they say I get white spots in. The back so why do some artists say to add white after every color thank you have a great day

[@lilliambaezmakeup]

In the first 2mins, I got so many useful tips! thank you!!!

[@donnadecicco]

yes make more petri dishes things and pendants, it's really hard to find them with straight sides, so if I don't find it I will buy the one you have

[@monicacolter3897]

You make me smile. Please continue with your wonderful work

[@jeannecharleton4887]

love your presentation and calm voice!

[@suekruger8525]

Beautiful but like another lady asked i want to know what you use them for jewelery?and how would you go about doing that thanks

[@daleyaw3126]

I found you by accident but I love watching each & every one of them.

[@scottieable1111]

Myriam...you crack me up with your giggles! I have bought every blue color ink I can find. Blue is always my go to color. Thanks for all your videos, I’m learning so much that my head is in a jumble.

[@MyriamsNature]

Hi Lynne!! Well I don’t want your head to be a jumble but I am very happy you’re finding the channel useful! Thank you sooo so much for “joining my team” 😘💕... I am grateful and excited! I look forward to seeing where your creative journey takes you 😄. Happy, happy holidays to you and yours!

[@suekranick4415]

I love these videos......you have a great way of showing your enthusiasm, making everyone feel that same way........you are inspiring.....and I love your laugh.....keep up the great work.

[@MyriamsNature]

Thank you Sue! 😊💕

[@valeriegallaway5903]

I found your KZbin videos quite by accident but I'm so glad I did. Your artistic endeavors are simply mesmerizing to watch. Thanks so much for sharing your knowledge with us.

[@MyriamsNature]

Hi Valerie… I’m so glad you stumbled upon my channel! Thank you for your very kind words. I hope you continue to enjoy the videos. 😊💕

[@CeruleanBlue1967]

I love the beach from the top side. Beautiful!

[@NinaRogoff]

I love both sides! The back side has a lot of dimension created by the dots on top of the colors behind them.

[@lindaknox7725]

My preference is KZbin but will follow you to Facebook too. Love watching you play and give me so many fun things to do. Keep playing and I'll be watching :)

[@MyriamsNature]

Thank you Linda! 😊💕

[@johnjwm2984]

Neat stuff, Myriam! Funny how the blue flowed over the brown, or did the brown seep under the blue? What a conundrum! Now, I wonder what would happen if you introduced the inks using a needle tip or hypodermic applicator? Would you have better control over the amount of ink? I'm just wondering. I don't do anything with resin as yet, so I have to rely on you and others to do all the experimenting. Actually, I just don't have the space to do anymore than just paint some small abstracts with acrylic and some inks. Keep up the good work, always enjoyable to watch your videos.

[@MyriamsNature]

It’s totally bizarre... on the reverse the “beach” is literally twice the size. This entire process is fascinating to watch. I have several sizes of hypodermics so I will definitely give that a try! Thanks for that idea John... and for your always being fun to read!😊

[@philucilleburness6638]

Love your work. I 'm glued to my iPad. Just learning about the ink etc. Can't wait till I can purchase some silicone molds. Looking forward to seeing you tomorrow. Take care. Hugs 😁🌸🌅

[@MyriamsNature]

That’s awesome to hear... thank you so much Philucille! 😊💕 I’ll be happy to see you too 😉😁💕

[@Embracetherandom]

Beautiful looks like mushrooms! I love mushrooms!

[@inaatkins5691]

Thank you for making & sharing your experiences. The reasons 4 the wins & less successful ones. I'm enjoying them very much. Will be checking in on the Facebook channel as well. God Bless you. Would love to try theses one day. I have subscribed

[@MyriamsNature]

Many thanks for that Ina!

[@Simplyalisonwagner]

Did you ever figure out how to eliminate the white that drops to the bottom

[@emilylovespins]

So what if my mold aren't shiny? Is there any hope?

[@justchristine8479]

I am wondering what you can do with the test pieces you didn’t like? Supposing you wanted to ‘responsibly’ throw them away, is there any way resin can be recycled? Can it be melted down and reused? Or would it be recycled with say, the plastic household waste? Just wondering, as I am hoping to start having a go at making resin jewellery and am anticipating a few initial disasters?! 🤪🤪🤪

[@MyriamsNature]

It is SO funny that you ask Jo! Stay tuned and please save any pieces you don’t like. I will be talking about JUST that thing in an upcoming video... showing you what I had done with mine. I hope you’ll want to do it too. 😊💕

[@jacquelinehenseleit5995]

The ones that you don't like you could make magnets out of

[@lacariscreations9404]

Have u ever or can u use a sm baking tray for resin. The metal ones?

[@hennashafi1431]

It's too beautiful with all the depth under water 💕

[@moogie3111]

Very interesting, as usual. I really like the back, but I really, really like the front. I'm not a Facebook affecienado, but for you, I'm in!!

[@MyriamsNature]

Awww, thank you so much for that... I’m not a big fan of Facebook myself but I do like that it gives me a way to better interact with everyone 😊 .

[@gr8eft]

I knew you would be able to put your own spin on the Petrie resin dish !! Who else would be so talented as to literally paint a scene in a Petrie? ummmm no one that I know of ! You have my head shaking on the things you accomplish, especially this one. They are supposed to be impossible to paint. The are supposed to be a mystery until they are popped out of the mold. You have done it again !!! You are not going to believe this, I have run out of words to express my delight. Sending you Hugs......

[@MyriamsNature]

Ok... you’re making me blush... a LOT!!! Thank you so so much Jo. This process is probably the most challenging thing I’ve tried. There’s still further I want to go, but it’s kicking me in the rear, and resin is just not as cheap as paint. But this beast needs taming 😂😉. Wish me luck! 😘💕

[@rufus1931]

Love the beach and the small test piece in the rainbow colors so cool. Social media challenged...no FB so please, please keep sharing all your hints, tips, triumphs and the occasional fail here! Love listening to you, you always make me smile -the smile in your voice in infectious!

[@MyriamsNature]

I will do my best to keep this channel as tip filled as ever! It is my happy place! 😊 Thank you for the kind words !

[@esprague6]

Which one do you prefer, ranger or piñata ink?

[@heyheyrob1972]

You are hilarious!!!!!! I love all of your videos because I love your humor!! Oh, I learn a lot too, I mean a lot!! Thanks for sharing your time and talent with all of us!!!!

[@MyriamsNature]

It is really my pleasure Robin! Thank you for your kind words!! 😊💕

[@mamabaer1110]

Have you ever thought about making yoyos out of the petris? I bet kids would love them...even the ones you call epic fails!

[@MyriamsNature]

I have never thought of that, but they are the perfect shape aren’t they 😄? I may have to check out a yo-yo now 😉.

[@kymscott2203]

Again brilliant!!! please keep making videos love all your experiments and listening to all your tips and as always your happy voice

[@MyriamsNature]

Thank you so much Kym!

[@alycherry6459]

Ooooohhhh ewwwww ahhhhh pretty! Fun! Don’t worry Miriam, you can just say it’s high tide at the beach, 😉

[@MyriamsNature]

I like that ... thanks Alison! 😊

[@christyfriedel297]

Is this resin heat tolerant so that you could use the discs as coasters?

[@lindalmiller429]

Do you use any kind of mold release? My petries always stick. Also, does resin stick to freezer paper? ❤️

[@MyriamsNature]

Hi Linda! Nice to see you again! I do not use any mold release but I do know that peach trees can stick. Here are three tips that will minimize that from happening: - limit using the torch to pop bubbles ... that is a big reason for the sticking problem... tried to let the bubbles pop on their own by letting the resin degas before starting to drop your inks. - If you start to release a petri and you find it seems to have stuck, pop the whole thing into the freezer for several minutes and then try to release it… chances are it will be easier to do - Warming the resin instead also helps .... so if freezing failed, put the whole thing in a bowl/bin/sink of warm to nearly hot water for a couple of minutes and then again try to release And finally, about the freezer paper… My experience is that resin doesn’t stick to freezer paper but sometimes it’s tricky to peel it off so I don’t love making resin skins on freezer paper for example. But for the most part freezer paper does not stick to resin. Garbage bags are better at releasing and any silicone mat would be ideal. I hope that helps a bit. 😊💕

[@lauriewatson2822]

To me the backside looked more like a pond with lily pads at the end. Either way it's beautiful.

[@LindaRUDYK]

I’m a follower!!! You are wonderful.

[@beverleyjones4179]

What you call back I would call front

[@will1234714]

I looked at the mold site from this video. The square soft one and want to order some and maybe different ones but how can I tell if they are shiny or not??? I only want shiny ones. Please help. Thanks

[@MyriamsNature]

I really wish I could tell you Will. They all seem to use the same exact pictures so there is no easy way to tell that I can see. It does seem to be the luck of the draw. What I would recommend to do is to order from a couple of different vendors... maybe three or four ( that’s what I did) . Luckily there is no shipping cost involved. You do have the option of contacting the vendors on eBay but not all of them answer right away. I’m sorry that I can’t be of more help. 😢

[@therealzuxana]

The coasters you did are beautiful! Perhaps you can raise that glass plate up higher, and put a mirror under it, so you can see the bottom some, and get a better idea of what the white ink is doing and better control your results?

[@MyriamsNature]

Oh my gosh... I had the same idea half way through! I will definitely give it a go next time. Thank you Kieran. 😊

[@kkowalski131313]

Great tutorial. Thank you

[@NinaRogoff]

Do you give classes in person??

[@ReneeW59]

You got lots of nice ones! Try less white. Some people sand the front to get out the surface white spots, then add a layer of resin on top.

[@MyriamsNature]

😊💕

[@maratrumbo7852]

Loved it thank you Myriam. Time for me to break my one year old resin box and do the bravery test!

[@MyriamsNature]

You can do it Mara... I have faith! 😉💕😊

[@christinekoz5353]

as always, Myriam...wonderful video. Love your colors, sharing....all and more. Just a thought.....if you know someone with a miter saw..or saw..maybe you could try to slice the small beauties in half to reveal another layer. sanding and polishing may give you two pendents out of one. you are the best!

[@princessoffire1107]

LOL " The water is coming on the beach ! " ... I guess the tide was coming in LOL

[@joannecrombie9152]

It really does look like under the sea!

[@nadarawortham2901]

I like most of your little rounds. thinking ... can you take those and add them to a larger one and make a collage???

[@MyriamsNature]

Oooh... what a cooool idea!! I love that Nadara!! I will play around with making shallower, consistent pieces for that very idea! The ones I currently have are of varying heights so it might be a challenge. Thank you for this! 😊💕

[@judyelb9107]

Hi again, 1st, can I have a slice of this delicious cake? I love the colors, and, I am sure it tastes as it looks. 2nd; Thank you for all the info that you provide me. I purchased the quick explanations from Debby, it is in ML, and when i asked a question, I was told again to purchase same. I am sure it is an error. However, I would like to ask you if I can use any acrylic paint for the pour,, or, should i purchase the special fluid acrylic paint for pouring. I started processing some of my painting on facebook. if you go and look for Judy, you will see me and very few from the 100's that i painted. None of them was pouring, which i am trying now. Thank you Myriam, you are carrying my mother's name, hers is with i.

[@MyriamsNature]

Hi Judy… From your question I’m getting a sense that you’re asking more about acrylic pouring than this resin petri (which is alcohol ink and resin 😊 ). In acrylic pouring, any acrylic based paint or ink can work. In fact you can even mix and match them within the same painting… I do it often. The most important thing is that each of your individual colors has the same consistency/viscosity so that when you move your painting (e.g. tilt it or blow it) everything flows uniformly. As an example, I might have a painting where I used craft acrylic paint for my red, acrylic ink for my blue, and high end Golden heavy body paint for my yellow. As long as I use whatever “medium” I intend to use (for example Floetrol , or Liquitex pouring medium) to get each color to be about the thickness of warm honey I’m good to go. If you plan to sell your work you might want to make sure that every paint you use is lightfast so, for that reason, you might not want to use the craft paint because they are not usually rated as lightfast (some very well might be but most don’t let you know that on the bottle so we’re never really sure). I hope that that answer is what you were looking for. 😊💕 It’s nice to know the name Miriam has meaning to you!

[@judyelb9107]

Thank you, my dear. I do not intend to sell anymore. I have sold plenty. I have some left in my house, but, will give it as donation. By the way, you can start teaching the adult community, in the senior center, or activities for adults. i have thought there, and, it is fun, not only for them but, for me too.. thank you again. and, hope to meet you one day.

hi myriam,1001Thankyou s for the last two videos amazing and inspiring as always ,the rounds would make beautiful pendants, would love to try the coasters, love learning new things and watching you feels like being there with you great fun! keep them comming myriam best wishes from your friend across the pond.

[@MyriamsNature]

Thank you so so much Tanyia! Many of the rounds will become pendants! It’s lovely to make a new friend 😊💕 !!

[@MyriamsNature]

Ha... love it! 😊

[@monicaeggleton8894]

I know this is an older video, but I wonder about shaving down the backside of the pieces that had “too much white” to see if the mid level is more interesting for a piece of art/jewelry. Always appreciate your videos. Your instruction, and in this case your trials are informative and helpful. I doubt that I will every play with “resin” for anything! However, it is nice to know the information is here if I change my mind. Some art materials just are too expensive to play with. I look at just how much paint, ink, paper, etc. I could purchase with those funds; and for me, this just doesn’t fit into my daily art needs.

[@sandyferland8297]

Love your voice, your talent, and your videos-cannot wait to try this!

[@MyriamsNature]

😊💕

[@ILoveMontana]

I'm glad I found your channel. Very informative and you made some gorgeous pieces. I've been playing with techniques to prevent having some much white on the back of my resin art pieces and I've found that allowing the resin to rest for a while (I also use CC 7050) until it gels a bit. I get beautiful results but the white doesn't sink nearly as much as it does if you add the inks when the resin is more fluid.

[@laurieshaw1960]

love the video.. you've given me a lot of inspiration. Thx! and I joined your FB page too!! Lovely work. Thx for sharing.

[@lizfreitas6816]

[@mayramarrero1218]

[@bonniebabird]

Really turned out well. I wonder if you could wait and add the white in little amounts, like you did between the sand and wave, if the white wouldn't sink so deeply. Sure enjoy watching your videos, your knowledge and chuckle! namaste
