[@lisaengland2570]

Very pretty! And yes our group is the most helpful and respectful FB group out there!❤

[@mikinelson7022]

I want to thank you for opening up my granddaughter's and my minds to the art of resin craft. We have been looking for a craft we can do together and came across your channel. We get together and watch a few videos at a time then spend time in the shop crafting.

[@farialmab4723]

These are *Quite Beautiful and Unique, Steve! On both sides! Just Lovely!* 💕

[@LeFouGallois]

They came out really beautifully. From the tiny thumbnail, the pinkish one actually looked like it had bacon or ham in it ! lol! :)

[@LostSiren13]

❤ these. That first one is beautiful. That’s my fav as I’m drawn to purple 💜

[@susanwolf7703]

I love your brain. I also experiment with things and wonder “what happens if?” Enjoy your experiments immensely.

[@cherylburkitt9722]

I love these lush coasters..the green one is my favourite with the purple ❤😊

[@amyerion9710]

I am obsessed with the chameleon powders. I am going to try these. So cool.

[@marilynhansen7881]

I love how you added the chameleon mica powders to enhance the folds. Very beautiful! ❤

[@cheriethompson7725]

The greens on bottom looks like leaves to me. love the concept. Thank you for sharing. Have a blessed day.

[@mojoe7951]

This is a fab idea. The purple on green is stunning

[@waywardhunter8633]

Very nice! I’ve been doing something pretty cool stuff incorporating heavy gel gloss medium mixed with acrylic paint into my resin pieces. A lot of “happy little accidents” as Bob Ross would say.

[@mlfett6307]

They do look pretty cool! I think, as you have discovered, that less-is-more with the powdered pigments. Dumping them out directly from the bottle will arguably give you too much. Perhaps dump them onto a small spoon and shake it over the wet surface? Just thinking out loud. :-)

[@carlycharlesworth1497]

Hey, I'm first to comment! I love the effects you got with those colours, and I'm a very messy crafter too, it's more fun that way lol! I liked the wrinkles you put in the cotton under the resin, it gave them character. Thanks for the links in the description Steve. God bless you and your family. Have a great week!

[@barbseed4434]

Love,love, love the effects using the cotton! Who knew!?!

[@robinmckenzie4142]

Really love the green, thank you steve as always for a wonderful video! Have a great day👍😀

[@dollybrown1993]

Awesome idea!! I really thought you were going to let them cure before you poured the second layer.... Thanks again for letting us see how you do something different. Hopefully you had a GREAT week away. Love to you and the family. Hugs for the fur babies ❤❤ Stay safe, you do you, protect yourself and your videos, and stay crafty 👍👍🛎️🛎️🦋🦋💗💗

[@Made4YouResin]

Its a lovely little group, i hope your enjoying your holiday!

[@JulzHair]

I think I love you!!! Just found you yesterday. I love your videos, creativity and honesty!!! (The accent is a bonus) Thank you for all you share❤

[@farialmab4723]

I’m glad you found the channel! Steve has TONS of videos and they are all very informative and fun! The older ones too, (Like 2 years back)! I’ve watched pretty much all of them, as Steve helped me start my resin journey! 😊

[@lisaburnham7151]

I think these turned out really nice. I like the bubbles underneath, too. They kind of look like raindrop.😍

[@wendymcd8219]

Love your fearless creativity!

[@janbuckley1]

They are lovely Steve, with the issue of keeping your colours in the fabric it might be good to invest in a fixative, I know Pentart do a pigment fix which will make any water soluble colour permanent when dry. I don’t know if mixing your pixie burst with that first would help.

[@LisaVornhagen]

Those look pretty cool! I especially love the green with the magenta. I think that shows up really well.

[@swcrafting]

I love these and the chameleon powder gave it such a nice look. You may want to try washing the fabrics in just vineger and water after coloring them. The vineger makes them color fast. When I worked in a doctor's office as a receptionist we did this with our new scrubs to keep them from fading. Just pop them in the washer with nothing but a bit of vinegar (you don't need much) and then air or machine dry.

[@sweetolie1]

Ooooooo so pretty!!!!!

[@bernadettelawson2916]

I have a case of paradolia. Just before you put the cotton onto the mat, it looked just like a little dog running 😂

[@turquoisewitch.wild-owl]

I think they all look cool!

[@pammcmillan8842]

Love this technique and they turned out beautiful

[@tamathagreen8574]

I am a bran-new member.!!!! love your videos and your awesome personality ....!!!!!! from White Creek NY USA :)

[@kymmcmaster6715]

Love them & the effects

[@craftydemon529]

I think the Pixie Burst might give a cool texture if you squeeze it directly into a silicone mold, if you haven't tried already. I feel like it would make kinda a splatter type effect

[@ownsacat]

I like those. Beautiful

[@lorrieross2410]

I love your videos...gives me so many great idea.

[@lisanelson9979]

Love them!

[@krisgair5863]

Thanks to you, and the confidence ive got from your videos, ive decided to do a radiator cover renovation with a black and gold resin top, going to have a go at some coasters first though, the radiator cover i built myself. Would love to send you some pictures, is thier a way 😮

[@kathifisk305]

Amazing!

[@bellaannecgoff2335]

❤❤❤

[@cathysarthub8306]

I used your discount code for the vacuum machine, thank you

[@katiedotson704]

At almost $9.00 USD for 1.26 oz., I'm not going to be using Pixie Burst on anything. For me, there are too many other affordable options out there. However, Steve, it's your willingness to experiment and share the results of your efforts that gives the rest of us so many viable options for our own endeavors. Thanks a bunch!

[@artistpw]

You might take a look at setacolor paints. Those are uv cured and you can do amazing things with fabric. Raw silk might be nice to use. Dharma fabrics has some great fibers.

[@Luvpig]

❤

[@APLAYER008]

Steve that degasser you have is almost $300 in Canada...I built one that has twice the pressure plus for under $30... Yours only goes to 95kpa or 10lbs per square inch I can easily double that for a quarter of the cost...

[@romonamorrow7296]

I think they’re beautiful

[@Tiger804]

HI Steve,,❤ the coasters look really beautiful😮 ,,and bubbles can be your best friend or your enemy!!! In a resin project, where you have little fish a few bubbles look great and natural looking,, as its clear againt the blue colored resin water, so making a few bubbles not to many in the blue resin would look realy nice,, I've seen someone doing this with a coaster with a type of silk, and it looked beautiful,, have you used the chameleon flakes by lets resin?? they are very vibrant colors,, and look great againt a black background. Take care Have a nice week

[@SomethingQuickly]

Gorgeous! I love the chameleon powders too, haven't invested in any yet, but the effects are always gorgeous. What I HAVE had a go with is the Chameleon flakes, however, I find they make my UV resin bubble up in a strange reaction, has anyone else found this? Any tips on how to avoid it? Also, Steve, have you ever considered setting up a discord server for your non-facebook followers? (or as an additional platform to grow a community :D) Love the coasters, they came out looking absolutely smashing!

[@callyross4821]

I was talking to the video telling you to add Chameleon powder! LOL! they turned out beautiful! not sure about the Pixie Burst stuff, underwhelming?

[@perrys5954]

Thanks for the great video I am learning lots from you but I have a loooong way to go. I couldn't find any links to the thing you called a 'sponge brush' when you were adding the chameleon powder to the exposed bits. Any help pointing me in the right direction would be much appreciated :)

[@dulceteixeira9097]

Awesome. How deep are those molds? 😊

[@aliciawilliams7994]

Can you get the same effect with flash paper?

[@lauracutler-sweetpeagifts5676]

Have you tried the pixie burst on foil?

[@tamiecarlile]

How do you not get air bubbles under the fabric without a bullet extractor

[@naudiaangelica6925]

Heya.. Do you have a link for tee expert? The one on this video is JDiction..

[@patshipp9195]

💖💖🙏🙏💖💖😄😄

[@judyeuller7602]

Steve, I noticed that you don't "suit up" like you used to when you work with resin. Has your allergy to resin disappeared? Or maybe medication? I have a slight allergy, too, so I'm curious.

[@ErickTiki]

just tried to get ahold of Jdiction about getting some resin and was basically given the brush off and told that I cannot get the same pack as you have in your videos....and they were very abrupt about it....sorry but, with that kind of attitude I cant see wasting my time getting that resin.....so what other resin do you recommend?

[@natelierichardson5440]

It would be really pretty if you twisted them up like roses.

[@allylovell2914]

I am a massive fifa n fafa
