I've heard somewhere--don't know who to credit the quote to or I would--"A journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step." I'd add to that, in the case of your piece here, Dr. Dan, "that single step, and the following thousands, is the adventure." It's been fun watching you learn and grow and try all these new things--sometimes succeeding and sometimes not. In this particular piece, I believe you've achieved a new level in your work and imagination. Well done, sir.

[@danholderman3658]

You said that the vacuum pot removed most of the air bubbles and then you put it in the pressure pot until it hardened. Why? Does it make it harden faster? Love your stuff and I am learning a lot watching you. Thanks.

[@artgivinghope]

Thanks Dan! So the vacuum chamber helps remove a lot of air bubbles from the wood and resin, preventing little bubble streams leaving cracks etc. The pressure pot then squeezes any remaining bubbles so small you can't see them. I've tried both many times on their own with bubble issues, but combined, I've had almost perfect results for clear resin clarity.

A very nice piece! It really comes alive and the resin does look a lot like heavy weather, definitely wind or maybe even a storm. The mystery and the dark pulls you in. Also very daring to use the torch at the end but it was a nice finish! Thinking back at your previous pieces the tall vase with the blue ribbon is probably my favourite. It is just really beautiful and something I wish I could have in my home. I have an idea that I think would be cool. Have you thought of setting a canvas painting in a window, that goes around the vase and then use clear resin and hollow it? If you put a light inside the vase and it shines out through the window and through the canvas I think it could look really good. Especially if it is a painting that lets through a lot of light and looks good when lit up from behind, for example if the shapes and the brush strokes are more interesting or whatever could make a painting look good when lit up from behind and not the front. Going for something that looks good when lit up from inside is just one way to do it though. In the video of the Foggy Wheat I think you said something about how you really like wheat. Maybe it could be cool with a painting of a wheat field or a harvest or something rural? Long comment but I hope you don't mind! Thanks for sharing the making of your projects! I really like the videos. I'm graduating soon and once I get an employment I will donate to ArtForOUR and your amazing work. Thanks again!

The pieces you do are so very awe inspiring for me. You are a very talented man in more ways than one with your hands, from art to what you do professionally. God bless you for what you do in all aspects of your life, because what I see is a true love for their fellow human being. Many thanks again for what you do for others. Much love from Virginia.
