Autumn-Inspired Freeform Epoxy Resin Rose Bowl

This video is another project involving resin bending. For this project, I used potpourri for the texture elements, not only does this give it a unique look, but it also smells wonderful.
For this project I used:
• U-Resin Standard UV Resin
• Artisue Powder Pigment - Fuscia
• Artisue Powder Pigment - Sparkle White
• Le Rez Metallic Pigment Paste - Molten Gold (bit.ly/metpaste)*
(Le Rez Expression Pigments are now available to purchase on my website)
• Potpourri (amzn.to/2HGKMxo)*
• Cellophane Wrap (amzn.to/2Oj8Uri)*
• Plastic Cup to shape resin
Books
The Essential Beginner’s Guide to Resin Art Techniques
eBook version: (bit.ly/resinguide)

[@jennifercooke2273]

Fantastic piece. It would be helpful to beginners to include how much resin you use for each project

[@SueFindlay]

I don't measure the amount because I often use leftover resin. The size of the finished bowl is determined by how much I have left. 💕

[@jennifercooke2273]

@@SueFindlay Thanks Sue. I have broken the ice and done my first small sculpture .Guess there are flaws professionals will pick up but on the whole I am pleased with it.

[@SueFindlay]

[@roootsfarmer]

Wonderful project for a beginner like myself, thanks for taking all the time to produce these 🙏🏼 My only issue when trying to create this was....how do you get the cello bag to unstick from the sculpture?? I ended up trimming it off because it wouldn’t peel off easily...

[@SueFindlay]

It all depends on your brand of resin. I have no issues removing the cellophane, whereas other people have experienced issues. You need to try your resin on different plastics to see which works best for you.

[@WhyKhoda]

This is my 4th times to carefully look at it, and still Love it so much. Sue you said a few hours, can you say how many hours and how thick it should be Please????

[@SueFindlay]

I can't give specifics on times because it varies greatly from project to project. It all depends on the time of year, the temperature of your room and the thickness of the resin. I can tell you that the thickness of this is whatever it levels to, which is approximately 2mm thick.

[@tinaprocaccini4351]

You have a beautiful gallery and it looks like a fantastic location as well. I love the colors that you used and the potpourri. Can you smell the Potpourri after it's done? Or does it resin coverage? Thank you for showing another beautiful creation

[@SueFindlay]

Thank you 💕 you can still smell the potpourri 😉

[@wilhat]

How do you look after it and it looks fantastic.

[@SueFindlay]

You can give it a wipe down with a damp cloth.

[@margaretperry2015]

Beautiful work! Would Saran Wrap/handicrafts be ok as a substitute for the plastic you use?

[@SueFindlay]

If you take a look at some of my other videos, you will see that I have used cling wrap and other plastics. 💕

[@lilycessna3077]

How clever! Gave some ideas on using up my leftover silk flowers and pip garlands! I was wondering, someone else uses contact paper to do their resin bowls, you use cellophane? Which is easier and cheaper? Thank You!

[@SueFindlay]

I haven't used contact paper, so can't give you comparisons, sorry. 💕

[@lilycessna3077]

Sue Findlay thank you! What do you normally spend on cellophane? Do you order it on Amazon?

@@SueFindlay I'm in south Louisiana in the US.

[@lilycessna3077]

Hiya Sue, it's been about 7 hours. I tried to mold it over a glass vase, noticed the resin was starting to slide and when touched the resin lifted gooey on my stick. Noticed it was starting to slide just a smidge. So, I set it flat on the table. The touch should be tacky right? not gooey?

[@SueFindlay]

It should no longer be sticky, but flexible. 💕

[@creatrixworldbytimma6213]

Hello, please I need help on how to get started

[@SueFindlay]

Please see my comment on your other post.

[@muntuk6424]

It really looks like something! Well done! Aren't the potpourri pieces on the edges delicate and easy to break even with handling? Would it stay intact to shipping, or how do you wrap it for shipping? Thanks :*

[@SueFindlay]

The potpourri is very hard, especially after they were coated in resin. If I were sending this out, I would wrap it in a foam wrap (don't use bubble wrap) and then place it in a box with plenty of padding around it.

[@joycelalka1280]

Hi... Sue Is that a hair drier that u using??

[@SueFindlay]

No, I am using a heat gun

[@Canaritayo]

Buenas noches Sue. El plástico que utilizas para soportar la resina tiene algún aditivo para que no se adhiera ésta? No hablo inglés, disculpa. Gracias, un abrazo desde Gran Canaria (España)

[@SueFindlay]

No que yo sepa, he usado muchos tipos diferentes de plástico y mi resina no se pega. Recomendaría probar una muestra en resina antes de comprometerse a crear una pieza más grande. Porque no todas las resinas son iguales y se sabe que algunas se adhieren a la resina. Tenga en cuenta que he usado Google para traducir este mensaje.

[@Canaritayo]

@@SueFindlay interesante. Probaré en el que tenga en casa, con poca proporción como bien me comentas a ver que tal el resultado, como siempre un placer contactar contigo, gracias por la ayuda y los tutoriales Sue.

[@melissad6259]

You make your bowls using only uv resin?

[@SueFindlay]

I use epoxy resin 💕

[@mariogiraudo5751]

il fon che passate sulla resina a che temperatura si passa e cosa serve alla resina. grazie

[@SueFindlay]

Uso una pistola termica che ha due impostazioni di calore 400 / 600˚C. Devi stare attento a non bruciare la resina, quindi non tenerla troppo a lungo in una posizione. Nota, ho usato Google per tradurre questo messaggio. 💕

[@spudslayer]

Where do you buy your resin? I can’t find U-resin on Amazon.

I buy it in Australia, it is not available on Amazon. It is my local resin company and they only ship around Australia.

When you come over, make sure when you visit the park, you make time to visit Caversham Wildlife Park. Here you can feed the kangaroos and stroke a koala. It is well worth a visit. 😉
