[@artflobymoe]

Lovely Christina!!!!

[@SaskiaFluidArtForAll]

They are just beautiful ❤️

[@saintjamesmodernart]

They came out Great! James

[@alicemesa4840]

Beautiful. How do you clean the back of the coasters?

[@ChristinaWelch]

I have them taped off. When the resin is done, I peel off what I can and use a utility knife to pop the edges off.

[@tuskbear]

They are so pretty

[@tawanascruggs6069]

Love the coasters. Once the coasters were dried did you use a sealant to protect the coasters from moisture?

[@ChristinaWelch]

yes, I use a heat resistant resin from Stone Coat Countertops. Link is in the description.

[@rons3634]

Well, I've just tried this with some coasters. Mixed pigments myself and all that. Didn't get a single cell, but I'm okay with how they turned out anyway.

[@ChristinaWelch]

did you use Australian Floetrol for your cell activator! Check out my Tutorial Thursday playlist. All of June is blooming.

[@rons3634]

@@ChristinaWelch Nope, the paints were already mixed at the beginning of the video so I wasn't aware of the Floetrol in there. I usually use a mix of polycrylic and glue but next time I'll try using Floetrol instead. Thank you for the suggestion, I will check that out.

[@zbambi101]

Absolutely stunning! Thank you!

[@ChristinaWelch]

Thank you so much!

[@allandavidson9176]

Lovely coasters Christina. Glenis

[@creativeroadsartbyjulialee9973]

Hi . I am new to your channel .. love these gorgeous coasters . I was wondering what you are using to mouth blow with to bring up the cells

[@ChristinaWelch]

Hi There! I am using a turkey baster.

[@taraleaver8831]

@@ChristinaWelch Genius! 🤩Are you squeezing a Turkey baster? Or did you cut the end off and you’re blowing through it?

[@sallypoultney4331]

So beautiful. You are the queen of coasters, so fast and so beautiful. How long do you wait until you put resin in the top? And then, before they are ready to sell?

[@ChristinaWelch]

I wait at least 2 weeks to resin and then 30 days for full cure.

[@marywinters9927]

How long do you have to let the coasters dry before you resin them? And how long does the rest need to cure before using the coasters?

[@ChristinaWelch]

at least 10 days before resin and 30 days before stacking and selling.

[@irishgirldutchpour]

Gorgeous!

[@ФРУКТИК-л9ф]

I love your works! 👍😋

[@vermontmom4232]

Very nice! Thanks for sharing!

[@ChristinaWelch]

Thanks for watching!

[@busymomusa8821]

Amazing!!!!

[@carolynmoore1805]

How did you let it dry and did you put a coating on it?

[@ChristinaWelch]

I set them on cups to dry making sure they are level. I wait two weeks, clean off the silicone and apply 2 coats of heat resistant resin/epoxy. I have videos on my channel in the playlist of step by step instructions.

[@AngelasMixedMediaArtist]

Wow beautiful love thx 😊

[@lisaowens7269]

Oh these are stunning. Can you tell us the colors you used…..please?

[@ChristinaWelch]

Hi Lisa! These were all PearlX powders. I am not using them anymore.

[@sonyariley5085]

What do you use to seal your coasters?

[@ChristinaWelch]

I use StoneCoat Art Resin. It's heat resistant to 475 degrees

[@sonyariley5085]

Thank you

[@joycedavidson895]

Beautiful

[@caroljones4639]

What did you use for the base

[@ChristinaWelch]

Ultra Deep Base Gloss from Sherwin Williams. I have a mixing video, number 500 on my home channel page.

[@lexifarr33]

Do you use a heat gun to blow out the paint?

[@ChristinaWelch]

no, you can use a hair dryer or airbrush.

[@BumpITDesigns]

nice love it

[@artandcreationsbyyvettecre2308]

Awesome

[@marystanford-terrien125]

Those turned out so pretty...but I swear if I saw that initial big black blob on mine I'd have a panic attack!

[@ChristinaWelch]

next time we paint, I will get you over that fear......lol

[@caroljones4639]

Are those powder paints

[@ChristinaWelch]

PearlEx powders

[@marystanford-terrien125]

Guess ya just gotta have faith!

[@mlove7979]

I would enjoy this a lot more if it were a turorial

[@ChristinaWelch]

it's just a one ounce flip cup. Same as any flip cup. I have tons of tutorials in my playlist.

[@susansmith574]

Just some “kindly” advice. A bit too much of the last color, black I think it was. It sort of took over. Plus on a palette as small as a coaster, I never use a blower, mouth blowing gives you better control. Definitely not criticizing your work as I know everyone has their own niche.

[@ChristinaWelch]

this was so long ago when blooms first came around. I have mastered the technique since this video. Thank you for your tips, but I am unable to mouth blow. I use a mini leaf blower now on coasters. Check out some of my more recent videos. You may find some useful tips.

[@susansmith574]

@@ChristinaWelch I commented before noticing it was a 3 yr old video, sorry! Yes things have come a long way since then. I love the technique, I watch so many vids to learn as I’ve just started my painting journey at age 68.
