Can we rewind the tape? *RESIN ART* - Grab that pencil

[@sarahkwast1250]

I think two cassettes and the shapes is PERFECT! Trust your first instinct, it is often correct. ❤️ I was born in '79 and those shapes always remind me of Saved by the Bell! 😄

[@antonietta2874]

Love this!! Love the 80's. Good times.Great music. So much fun!!

[@fairyspunfibers9098]

LOVE the hand drawn look, Claire - I greatly prefer it, in fact! In fact, most of these images showed on fabric or objects as hand drawn, not factory-designed (even though they were). 😊 Ooooh, I *love* the color, girl! Love orange. 😍 *IDEA:* the neon powders work well in UV resin, too! You could even put them in the fine-nozzle bottles (after mixing) and make lines, curing as you go.

[@JoTrew-o5y]

that's a awesome idea actually I hope you consider it

[@dawnbozykowski1306]

These are so fun. Your drawings are great. Born in 74 the struggle was real with these. I hated when I put the stickers on crooked. Me and my friends would sit around for HOURS waiting for certain songs to come on so we could hit the record button, trying to get it just right without the djs voice or commercial and no one could make a sound! Lmao. Once we would get it on tape, we’d keeping rewinding to learn the words. 😅

[@CynthiaPrice79]

Some of my friends preferred to get just the DJ saying the song and artist before each track.

[@BoredWifesProductions]

I'm such an 80's girl. Graduated in 87. I had sad songs, dance songs, and rock music. Every tape was different. Love the tray!❤❤❤❤

[@Coyo-Tea]

Oh such happy days, the dj’s infuriated me 😂

[@eckyfumparkid3096]

Remember sitting on a Sunday afternoon recording the top 40 & having to rewind a bit when the DJ started talking at the end of Duran Duran 😂 Oh the joys ! And strutting your stuff with your Walkman & your Wham Fantastic tape 😁 xx

[@TheMadArtist1]

I absolutely loved this ❤I am from the cassette player era and yes the pencil wind was real 😂

[@fairyspunfibers9098]

Ugh, yes! Real and agonizing! 😅

[@amacam4504]

*Memories* Sunday nights from 4-7pm Radio 1 FM - UK Top Forty Countdown with Bruno Brookes. Getting my little red boom box cassette player ready to record/stop/record/stop all the way down to no.1! 😅 That was a fine art in itself. Dating all the cassettes and pulling the tabs out so they couldn't be recorded over, then a few weeks later covering the holes with sellotape because the bundle of new cassettes had run out! 🤪🤣

[@jackiepena1541]

This turned out beautifully… I love it !!!! 🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩 The names of the artists or when I recorded from the radio to my blank cassettes, especially the radio mixes during happy hour at home. Those were our crazy & fun days of the 60s, 70s & 80s (60s bc that’s where the mod squad started with the color block styles, 70s psychedelic vibes & then the neons came to life in the 80s). Quite fun memories of back when. 🤣🤣🤣

[@sherrigriffin8891]

Hand drawn is way better and more fun than just vinyl ❤ love the colors

[@ellenmeredith1990]

Hi Claire love this video brings back memories the 80's were the best. I remember using the pencil to wind the tape when it got tangled. Also recording on them with my friends pretending to be radio DJ's lol fun times. Bring back the 80's

[@trevorburgess2695]

It's gorgeous Claire,love,love,love the colours. 🙂🙂🙂

[@kymmcmaster6715]

Love the way the colours turned out. The whole tray looks fabulous

[@odettehillier3387]

It would be cool to see a layered tray with the cassette images and the pencil ✏️ images, love the trays. Brings back so many memories ❤❤

Shrinky Dink BIRD on shed, Claire!

[@lizlizardbreath1]

The neon pinks, purples, & blues are still my favorites. Thank you all for the memory lane trips, 😂 We aren’t sweating to the oldies, we’re hot flashing through 80’s.

[@fairyspunfibers9098]

😂😆😅👍🙋

[@madeleinegombert661]

❤❤❤ The Tray.

[@jeanettewestgarth8271]

Gorgeous, so many memories come flooding back, omg the trauma of the pencil and the tape is still with me lol. I also remember trying to splice the tape back together if it snapped 🤦‍♀️......trying to stop it at just he right time before he DJ started talking on a Sunday night taping the top 40 off he radio 🤯 those were the days xx

[@mizzuzie3338]

I have cassettes in neon orange and yellow!? I named my mix tapes with names like walking mix, ballad mix and rock mix as well as the month I recorded them.

[@debrajol3585]

Yes we did lots of ‘personics’ back then.. that’s the last name I remember them calling it. I remember getting so upset at the radio people who would talk over the start or end of a song I was trying to record 😂. Of course they knew what they were doing.. forcing us to buy the records to get a clean copy!!!

[@mizzuzie3338]

@@debrajol3585 As I grew up in Sweden I have never heard the word personics before ☺️

[@tonic2639]

Loving this trip down memory lane! Wish my son could experience cassettes! 😂

[@JayneHartnett]

Adorable. You’re taking us back to the 80’s! Start the movement, bring back NEON colors!!!! 🤣🤣🤣

[@AlpacaMade]

It turned out very well. Good on you for going bold graphic, so far unique in Resin design. I love your speculative ideas at the end. 👍✏

[@shaldal6198]

Memory for me was my job on an assembly line making audio cassettes for 3 years. So I'm familiar with these! ❤

[@Stephanie_Hancock]

I think it's wonderful!!!!! Yes, you are too hard on yourself. Great job! I remember, when I was a kid, my father got an 8 track player in his car. He thought it was so snazzy. Now that's OLDDDDDDD.

[@marjangoetheer9158]

So exciting to watch your video! Thank you Claire ❤

[@beverlytinsley-minniefield2434]

Super cool, love this so much Claire. Definite perfect representation of the 80s. I used to write Slow Jams; Mixed Tape, Radio Hits, etc on my cassettes too.

[@lilmsmetal]

I love the drawings! The tapes look much better this time 😁

[@CynthiaPrice79]

I’m also old enough to have had a record player in my bedroom. My sister had a fancy one (she’s 7 years older) that could queue and drop multiple records.

[@kathrynseaman6482]

Love the hand drawn. The colours are just Wham!

[@karenlloyd16]

Oh my God that looks amazing!! So funny when you were writing on the cassettes. Upside down back the front. I was getting dizzy trying to work it out. 😂😂😂

[@resinartists]

Glad to have attended today's premier, Ms Claire. Today's trinklet tray is so gorgeous with those neo colors and those lovely doodles 😍😍.These bring back our childhood memories 😍😍😍📼

[@maddieadams75]

Very cute, you did incredibly well with the graphic design ❤

[@JunesHouseofCrafts]

Absolutely brilliant Claire.

[@dianescraftycreations]

Love the colors.. great hand drawn design too! Not bad Claire!!

[@MyrsaHutchinson-rg5tf]

I graduated in"89" and I kept a pencil on top of my boom box because without fail it would unravel my mix at least once while listening to them😂😂😂😂😂

[@amgroves76]

The nostalgia is real, reminds me of the journey to college on the bus and running out of batteries halfway xD

[@Becka.M-D]

For anyone that struggles writing backwards/upside down, save some clear plastic & a dry or wet wipe pen. Then write what you want to put down on your resin as you would want it to look on your finished piece. You could trace over text as well. Leave to dry. Then flip. It’s a great reference point for writing on resin. You could even draw over images as well. When finished, wipe clean & put your plastic away for future use. I advise putting a few layers of tape around the edges if you have cut it out of something.

[@cblaney3931]

Flip sake I'm so late, the naughty step is closed!! Off to watch the video.

[@suekranick4415]

aaaahhhh, the pencil wind...😵‍💫, love the 80's Claire.....good job

[@Lourin911]

The Struggle was Truly Real ... Trigger warning. Lol .. mine usually had the name of the radio station I was recording from on it. Lol born in '69 ... So the 80's were my EVERYTHING . Would love to see this again with blobs of the neon colors. It's Lovely-Truly no matter! - Lourin/Florida

I like really brungs back memories the drawings were great

[@loriphillips9790]

Your writing ❗⁉️ You have a great hand❗

[@christineingram55]

Beautiful.Good old cassettes.I remember the time I went for a new car and the shock there was no cassette player in it.lol?..Then I had to buy disks to play instead..Just not the same feel lol..I love this and the pattern.i think you may have to leave colours to set a bit to get the effects your looking for.The orange is more dominant than the green that’s why it’s more prominent but I actually love it anyway 🥰

[@lesleyhenshaw2878]

You’ve done a fantastic job. I feel like the 80s bypassed me. We moved from NZ back here in 81, then school, I had my oldest daughter in 88, I didn’t really have friends, I was busy with family. I wouldn’t change things, I love my kids and family very much xx❤ thank you for your videos x❤

[@Coyo-Tea]

I would sit there twirling my tapes on my pencil so often. I do miss cassette tapes. Mix tapes were probably thing things I did the most.

[@michelle_resinrebel]

Hi Claire thinking about the tapes I used to love winding up the tape with a pencil ✏️ 😂 , Jason and Kylie 😂, the carpenters and Tiffany and 80's hits 😂, still love the tray 😍 thanks for sharing ❤❤❤ xxx

[@CynthiaPrice79]

Hexagonal pencils = auto-rewind for cassette tapes. Also, my first computer (it was in my bedroom) was a Vic 20 (Commodore), attached to a 13” color TV as a monitor (only Apples came with dedicated/integrated monitors way back then). It had a cassette drive, and my games were all on tapes like these. The drive looked for all the world like a regular cassette player/recorder of the time, but it translated a different kind of data.

[@Kathy-Carr]

I would make one The Doors and/ or Led Zeppelin. 😂. Awesome job, thank you for doing this again! 🎶

[@vezhopkins714]

used to record my own music mixes (mostly from radio 2 XD ) on my ghetto blaster :D and yes had to use the pencil to put the tape back in the cassette when it got tangled

[@HandmadeDunyasi]

This was great. Came out so cute. I agree, mixed the two colors too much, but still came out great. My chat froze again, so couldn’t see the end or say goodbye. KZbin has been a pain lately.

[@Leena79]

I love this. I need to get the acrylic pens to do something like this, I already tried my little pots of neon powders over the weekend, and they look awesome. Now, did you happen to watch today's video from Tea & Art? She had a uv resin that worked brilliantly for making outlines, and it might be an option for making the cassettes individual colours - but jesmonite would probably work for that, too. Or that outliner paint you used a while back.

[@SelenesCreationsByTheSea]

would love to see another tray with just cassette tapes and a pencil !!! just backed with neon yellow !!! . I have to admit i cant remember what i wrote on my cassettes that was soo long ago LOL

[@kellyjean4981]

This is fantastic!! I may need to make something similar. Thanks for the inspiration

[@Stinkerbelle62]

[@yvonneellenberger9350]

Yaiiiii…. 80‘s are back! Only if you know, what the pencil was for,….. sorry, but your getting older than….. uhmmmmm 15 ?!?😂 I loooooove to be back for a few minutes in my bedroom as I was 15….16…… hundreds of cassettes and tons of pencils 😂😂😂😂😂 and of course! Written on these like „Metal ballads, rock ballads, Metallica, ………“ gosh!!!!! Girl, you made my evening ❤️ thank you for that ❤️❤️❤️❤️

I though for sure you would be going skating next!

[@tawnyb5791]

I had so many, recorded from the radio mostly, that just had mix tape then maybe rock, or ballads etc. indicated afterward. Because we were living in the 80s, who noted the decade you were living in? 😂 That was for the previous decades. Plus, if I was really being meticulous, I would write each song title as tiny as possible, and that usually ran all together, and you ended up almost cross-eyed trying to read it later. Lol

[@HelenHywater]

This so reminds me of my NKOTB days

the orange was a tad overwhelming but then I prefer the yellow and green I used to wear the socks the tape's I used to wind I done with my fingers as they were small enough then my other half was fancy he had a hand crank winder for his tape's he also suggested you use a mirror and look in the mirror to see what your writing looking forward to more 80s themes oh and your a year older than me nice one

[@Enjoythepour]

I remember using a pencil to wind my tapes back up!

[@Og-Judy]

In 1983 I was already 30 years old. I kept a stubby pencil with my cassettes because I'd usually have a tape mess up on me 🤣🤣🤣

[@mavanie]

A pencil was essential if you owned a tape player. I used many...lol!!!!

[@alexsmith9983]

so, can you use the acrylic pens with the silk screens? the mind boggles......

[@thedragonscave1]

1970s, Radio Luxembourg… trying desperately to stop recording before the DJ talked over the end of my favourite song 😂😂

[@reginaphyfer9619]

❤

[@cwv-artistry]

I would always write Casey's "pop" mix or "country" mix "rock" ECT on the tape and in the box for the tape I would write down what I labeled it along with what was on sides A&B kids these days just don't know the struggle was real! Id give anything to go back to that time frame! It was the best! Now it's all electronics and noone could make it if we lost the Internet they don't understand go out and play I was never indoors you had to drag me in 😂

[@lotusswan9156]

I don't believe that cassette tapes had an up or down position in and of themselves -- it all depended upon the type of tape player into which it was inserted -- some players you had to open the little door and insert the tape into the slot with the "tape" side down in order for the mechanism to activate -- other models you'd insert with the "tape" side up and lock into place when you closed the door. Depending upon which kind of model you owned -- sometimes the writing would be upside down on the cassette -- as it was actively playing on the device! So, no right or wrong, it's all good!! Lol! Peace!

[@ilsabailey8195]

if you do a cassette tape with the tape hanging out you need to draw a pencil too. 😆 edit: lol you talked about the pencil

[@ellemandrews1113]

Ahhhh, MIX TAPE
