[@lindao7887]

LOL, you've created an entire hurricane system in a tiny circle - looks just like a hurricane on radar - neato!

[@fredrowilson7659]

“This is Art” belongs in the Louvre. Your artwork is inspiring and I love making Resin masterpieces.

This is brilliant I have my ring blanks , hoping I can get something decent with uv resin lol

[@CatLadyJude]

Thanks for this Daniel. I loved the wire-wrapped ring. You are so talented.

Thanks Barbara 😊

[@traceyshenton1920]

Nice job so much detail in such a small piece 👌

[@daniel..cooper]

Thanks Tracey, yes, we can go smaller 😊

[@michelledetoth7503]

Very pretty!!!

[@daniel..cooper]

Thanks Michelle 😊

[@LisaVornhagen]

Those are very pretty! I don't know why, but I hadn't thought of making rings with my little pieces. I think I'll start doing that. Thanks!

[@daniel..cooper]

Thanks Lisa 😊 so much can be done with this mold 😊

[@Rebevaillan]

As soon as you showed the adjustable ring blank I thought “no it would be better to wire wrap them, and adjust the size with a crimp in the band” 😁 just love your wrapping. So beautiful❣️ Can you do a tutorial on that sometime?

[@daniel..cooper]

Thank you Rebecca, yes, I will make one at some point 😊😊😊

[@ninaosborne2004]

good

[@Rebevaillan]

Muito obrigado, seja muito bem vindo 😊

[@sallymccornack122]

I love the thought of doing these Daniel, but you can’t get the sinker white more. I found one company that wanted to charge £29 and then £208 to deliver it LOL

[@daniel..cooper]

😳😳😳😔

[@MCher2]

I can see where these would be profitable. TFS!

[@daniel..cooper]

Thanks 😊

[@The-Grateful-Hippie]

Can you use a syringe to fill the tiny mold cavities with resin?

[@daniel..cooper]

You can, it will probably be easier 😊😊

[@ginrincreates]

I use a pipette for some things like this and it works pretty well. You might consider that, since they're pretty cheap.

[@funo6581]

That’s a great idea Daniel! I bet they’d sale great at craft fairs. The one you wrapped would look great with your dragon eye technique. Maybe you could drop two colors in at once? I don’t use my small cavities, I haven’t worn post earrings for years. I always hated how they’d poke me behind my ear whenever I was on the phone.🥴😂

[@daniel..cooper]

Ouch 😂

[@SalemSphynx]

Or trying to sleep w/them in!😆 Have to take my conch piercing out at night for that reason

[@funo6581]

@@SalemSphynx Yes! I couldn’t stand to wear them or really any earrings at night. I used to keep my jewelry on all day but, now I only wear it when I’m going out and it’s off the minute I walk in the door. I also wear only my comfy’s at home.😂 The older I get.. the less patience I have with anything that’s not comfortable.😊

[@SalemSphynx]

@@funo6581 Agreed, me too-im pushing 44 so maybe thats my prob lol🤦🏻‍♀️

[@annafraub4871]

If you left the plastic partition in the mould then added the white, I think it would work?

[@daniel..cooper]

I agree, I think if left for a couple of minutes after, 2 colours wouldn't mix.

[@the1bud]

Great Video Daniel. Wanted to know canyou use hot glue on the back of the bezels?

[@daniel..cooper]

Hi, thanks, I wouldn't think it would bond as well.

[@infinitymoths]

could you measure the size of the tear-drop shaped mold? i wanna make a ring that is the same size as that but i'm not sure what size it is. i want to buy that mold and the rings in the same purchase on amazon. thanks!

[@dawnr714]

Even your tiny pieces turn out great! Mine have just been icky or underwhelming lately. And my LR sinker seems like its just alcohol and I can't get the bottom to mix in the bottle. (Ill probably have to pour it out and refill it). I need some ball bearings like you use! Anyway so I've been using Pinata and its been weird and creating a weird film that will come up when I go to stir it. Just disappointed with my stuff lately. Anyway, thank you for sharing your videos! I love them! ❤❤

[@daniel..cooper]

Thanks Dawn, yes, piñata does this bit remember that you can dilute it down as shown in #21 😊

[@ginrincreates]

I feel you. My resin luck has been crappy lately too. Resin is so finicky. We'll just keep trying!

[@fairyspunfibers9098]

@Dawn R I hear you! My resin Petris look like mud, no matter *what* I do! I follow Dan's instructions to the letter...and get mud! Argh! Welp...we just need to keep trying, is all. Some day... 😊😁

[@miriampalmer-golembiewski8483]

Where did you get these rings blank to fit correctly

[@daniel..cooper]

Hi, all links are in the description 😀

[@the.resintist]

These look great only issue is sizes for selling on as these can only be certain sizes plus people seem to want silver at least rather than plated but still like you say cheap to make 😉👌❤️👌

[@daniel..cooper]

Thanks Mark 😊

[@debcirrincione1902]

Gorgeous! Love them. Why do you back fill with UV?

[@daniel..cooper]

Thanks Deb, just quicker than filling with 2 part :)

[@fairyspunfibers9098]

Oh, wow, these are great, Dan! Hey, if you left the partition in until you were ready to stir, would that work? I mean, drop of ink on either side, then a drop of sinker on either side...wait an hour, then stir? Hmmm. I wonders, I wonders, yes, I does...

[@daniel..cooper]

Thanks, it may do, if propped up 😊

[@awitcheshome]

Hey Daniel, curious if once cured you've tried spraying the outside of your cabs with a UV protection spray (such as Krylon UV Protection Acrylic Varnish) and if that has / would prolong the life of colour fade in alcohol inks?? Best wishes and thanks for all the amazing information. Imogen x

[@daniel..cooper]

I did think about it but the brand holds up really well with uv exposure 😊

[@awitcheshome]

@@daniel..cooper I agree this resin does hold up well against UV! It was just a thought re something you mentioned in this particular video about being open with potential buyers about uv and fade issues.. As said it was just a thought..! 🙃 Thanks for the reply! Have a fab week ☺ happy creating x Imogen

[@daniel..cooper]

@awitcheshome it's a great idea, a lot of 3d printers use the spray too, just not sure if it would wear off easily, or be able to seal over the top, I may experiment soon but would take a very long time to know the results.

[@awitcheshome]

@@daniel..cooper funnily enough THAT is exactly what made me think of it..!! As I'm spraying my models!! - And have your playlist in the background to keep me company!! 🤍 Heh!

[@rosesweet1967]

Do you mix the sinker white with 91% alcohol, I have and I’m not sure where I learned that from…

[@daniel..cooper]

I have done before but not with the collaboration resin as its not needed with the C deeper white 😊

[@rosesweet1967]

@@daniel..cooper I have the 2 large sinker white bottles, I put in a small bottle with the 91% alcohol…someone had that on a video, maybe an early video you made…I’ll give it a try without the alcohol and see how that works…

[@nixonartgallery]

Hey Teach….do you ever have the issue of the alcohol ink bleeding out the back of the shape or is that why you se it with the UV resin?

[@daniel..cooper]

Hi, I never have that issue, maybe too much ink?

[@mihaelafrentiu4207]

Hello! your tutorial is great. I want to ask: can you use uv resin to attach the two pieces?

[@daniel..cooper]

Thanks, sadly not, the UV wouldn't penetrate the opaque piece I wouldn't think.

[@joallawestervelt6918]

Those are so pretty. Can you use UV resin for the whole project? I have read that you can not use alcohol inks in UV resin

[@daniel..cooper]

Hi Joalla, check out #44. Also, the yellow ring in the thumbnail was just uv with dye pigments 😊

[@nixonartgallery]

I’m watching now teach - #letsgo

[@daniel..cooper]

Thanks :)

[@isabellrc]

I’m thinking about getting jewelry started in my resin journey. I have concerns about purchasing cheaper metals; expensive ones are an issue too! Wiring looks a bit difficult; hope I can eventually learn that art. ***I noticed you collaborate with LET’s Resin. Can you purchase those products in US?

[@daniel..cooper]

Sure can, they have many more products in the US 😊

[@isabellrc]

@@daniel..cooper How do I find the collaborative products you are involved in?

[@terribailey228]

Sorry Daniel but I have another question which you probably have answered before. But I tried to get the same effects you get with alcohol inks with just flat bottom type molds. I do okay with the rounded bottoms like you are using here. Cool effects in the flat ones. But not as cool as the ones that you have taught us. Is the round/dome that is also important in the effects you get? I'm not sure if I am explaining what I mean. Still new to all this and I am probably not using the right terminology.

[@daniel..cooper]

The domed ones magnify the art 😊 You can dome the flat ones too 😊

[@katrinthorsdottir7514]

[@dianefink1978]

[@daniel..cooper]

Thanks 😊

[@leslieCerealkiller]

Can you add color to the sinking white?

[@daniel..cooper]

Great question, you really wouldn't need to, the sinker will push the colours down 😊
