[@nicolelocas77]

C'est vraiment très beau merci

[@MicheleEngel]

Fantastic demo! PERFECT, in fact. I don't know how you could have done a better job of teaching how to do this. Thank you for so generously sharing your knowledge and for doing it so beautifully!!!!!

[@jennesont4791]

This video is excellent! The bubble popping is clearly shown, thank you

[@celesteday9473]

Thank you so much for your teaching videos, I also bought your book!

[@UIV7096]

Just what I was looking for.. in 2021 I want to do a Resin A-Ink design on Canvas. Ty beautiful work♥️♥️

[@purnimayadav1669]

Beautiful thanks for sharing ❤ would be possible to share tbe step By step video how to make the On art work that you are using to resin

[@maryfoley3781]

Hi Jane, must stop watching your wonderful videos and take the plunge to do the wooden panels with yupo and resin coating. No questions as l have read all the comments below and you have generously answered any that l may have asked. Many thanks for the great videos you put up . You have inspired me to do the panels, previously used resin on tile coasters so not afraid to use it. The set up process is most helpful so l am digging out some old canvas art and all the bits and pieces l need for that part. Had to travel to another town for the Golden GAC but now have all the things l need to start. Many thanks again

Anne Bulmer Aww, thank you 😊😘

[@annacarey7980]

Hi jane.... fabulous videos you do... it's 4.30 am here in rainy old England, I'm still awake thanks to you! Here's what I like. Your commentaries re. what's needed, choices etc, is succinct yet quickly said. You have a knack of telling us a lot in a short a time as possible - my personal difficulty is, having a mental health illness, I find it hard to concentrate if there are long drawn out vocalisations during demos, where the commentary is dragged out by too many 'err...um...s'. Meaning, the well-meaning commentator is trying to talk us through something whilst getting immersed in the work, and I'd rather they said 'sorry, switching into work-mode now, can't talk!' than continue to TRY to talk whilst actually working. So the audio bits can get (maybe it's just me?) agonising. I find yours well-paced, easier to follow and if you go fast, I have the choice to rewind and listen again. Whereas when we're listening intently for instruction, and up to a minute (yes I have timed it, in sheer disbelief! ) elapses between the start of the sentence and it's actual end, containing the info we need - SCREAM! And even more SCREEEEEAM when commentator has forgotten start of sentence. I know, it must be hard (I'd never dare to do a demo!) --- am just telling you and my fellow fans my Room 101! So for me, I like your pace of describing what we need and find it refreshing. I like your work itself. One question though, from a novice here; when you say you measure half resin into the glass jug, and half 'the other' - well I may just be tired and full of morphine but - what other, please? What liquid is in the 2nd big white container you measure in with the resin? I kept replaying it but somehow can't find it... is it a pouring medium or something please? Keep teaching us, won't you? You are good at it. So thank you.

[@mjrewerts]

I use a clear plastic cup big enough for the resin amount I want to mix. I use water in the cup and mark it half way with a Fine Sharpie, add the rest of the water to complete the amount I need and use the Sharpie to mark it. Using this method means I don’t have to ruin my measuring cup. I can either wipe the cup out good after resining and reuse it, or throw it away.

[@mjrewerts]

Leveling the artwork by stacking the cups is a great idea! 👍🏼

[@danacampbell8331]

I love this channel! The art is so beautiful and inspiring and the presentation is so listenable. Jane uses a regular speaking voice instead of being over-excited and cute like some. I really like that.

[@Coirbre]

Can’t thank you enough for sharing these tips. Love your work.

[@JaneMonteith]

[@gloriaharrelson4990]

Your work is very cool. I love it.

[@siobhangillespie1665]

Lovely work jane,thank you soon much for sharing 🤗

[@mariemaurasse4552]

Do you by any chance have a tutorial on the art work that you are applying the resin to? And what is the sizeof the wooden panels. They are lovely.

[@wendyblacksin7063]

Hi Jane - thanks so much for your videos - they have taught me so much. I happen to work with resin quite a bit for jewellery making so you might want to try letting your resin sit for about 5-8 minutes after mixing and a lot of the bubbles will rise and disappear on their own. Since your resin has a 45 minute "pot" time you should be ok before you pour. :-)

[@JaneMonteith]

Wendy Blacksin yes I do that quite a bit. Thanks for watching 😊

[@theartofmyclay]

Great tips. Thanks for sharing your knowledge.

[@JaneMonteith]

[@cathyherring6424]

Your art work looks amazing... I have not tried resin yet.. this is very helpful. Wish me luck this week will be the first time to use it thank you so much ❤️💕❤️💕😇

[@sandrastewart9438]

Hi Jane. Thankyou for the great videos. Could you please advise what adhesive to use when applying the scrap pieces of yupo. Thanks

[@valerieneal2747]

Absolutely beautiful. I have subscribed and look forward to more of your awesome and informative posts. You explained every step in detail. You rock😉🌿🌻

[@kristinaandthegerman4554]

I am such a freak about exact measurements that I use a small kitchen scale. My years of baking have made me realize precision is crucial.

[@-ny-3427]

Thanks Jane - this is the best video i have seen on this subject! Super helpful thanks for posting!!

[@JaneMonteith]

Stacy WS Thanks, Stacy. Appreciate the comment. Thanks for watching 🙏🏼

[@amberlynnboswell8253]

I am about to use resin for the first time and I love how thoroughly you demonstrated the process. I’m very excited and I hope my results are as lovely as yours. Thank you for taking the time to make this video.

[@JaneMonteith]

Amber Lynn Boswell awesome! Have fun. Thanks for watching 😊🙏🏼

[@amberlynnboswell8253]

Jane Monteith It’s so weird, the Ranger inks that I used became less vivid and bright, but the piñata inks are fine! Have you experienced the same problem?

[@JaneMonteith]

Amber Lynn Boswell yes. Ranger products are not as vivid as piñata

[@dalediane1]

Thanks so much. I've been working with alcohol inks for about three years. Your tips infused me with new ideas.

[@usherl250]

Great instructional video! Question about removing the tape. What the ideal time frame and do you use a blade or just fingernails and is it possible to damage the surface while ripping off tape. Thanks

[@nuna4307]

Thank you so much for your sharing....bravo

[@NancyLynn]

So fascinating Jane! By the way, I just opened up my Mini Mods and am "over the moon" happy!!! I will be ordering some more pieces from you in the future. Thanks, so so much Jane!

Nancy Lynn awww, thanks Nancy. So happy you love them 😊😊

[@dalyte62]

Excellent tutorial, thank you. Love your pictures

[@UncleVinnys]

Very helpful. Thanks. NOWHERE in the video do you name what's in the second bottle. I presume it's 'hardener.' Is that correct?

[@rachelearles8768]

Yes

[@shaz8486]

I would love to resign...But I am not game to try it ! ....I will stick to varnishing......these works all look stunning the Resin really makes them pop ! ❤️

[@nicholep392]

[@sarahbrown9397]

Hi Jane I live in Australia. I just love your posts. Do you make your own wooden blocks, or do you order them online?

[@desleywimbridge3616]

Hi Jane, your work is so beautiful! Do you seal your alcohol inked yupo with anything before you resin? I have seen lots of people saying that it needs sealing or the resin may fade it. Have you ever had this problem? Thanks, and keep the videos coming. Desley

[@JaneMonteith]

Desley Wimbridge Thank you. No need to seal. Resin won’t fade if you use Art Resin

[@oneshiftmexico2188]

Amazing work! Love it!! Congratulations!

[@originalart888]

Thanks for a great video! How do you clean the glass container? I would NOT want to use plastic and throw that out into the landfill. Please let us know how to clean the glass container, I bet you need to do that within the allotted 45 min.?

[@moogie3111]

Lots of questions answered. Thanks so much for doing this!

[@AlexisBonavitacola]

Love your videos, Jan AND adore your pieces. I am definitely going to try this technique this weekend. VERY cool. Love your teaching style. Thank you for being so generous.

[@JaneMonteith]

Alexis Bonavitacola Hi Alexis, thanks so much. Appreciate your comments. Thanks for watching 🙏🏼😊

Your artwork is a joy! How beautiful.

[@JaneMonteith]

nywvblue Thanks 💕

[@kaydriver9041]

Thank you Jane for every single wonderful video you have taken time to share with us! I have watched and love each one! I have tried the resin experience four times. The finish was beautiful and successful but Last time the new wide blue painter's tape I used did not work. My sides were ruined and the resin seeped through. It cost a fortune to frame but salvageable! Is your green tape from Canada? I didn't ever see the tape in your list of products but maybe it was there. Thanks. All tapes are NOT created equal!!!

[@scorpionzdezignz]

Fabulous! Thank you!

[@JaneMonteith]

scorpionzdezignz you're welcome! Thanks for watching my videos!! Appreciated 🙏🏼

[@helenw6243]

Really enjoying your tutorials Jane thanks. Please can I ask how you create the effect of the shapes on the pieces in this tutorial, is it the contact paper or have you stuck your own inked shapes on a background? :)

[@terryhowson1979]

O.K. Great! Glad you enjoyed 😊😊

[@sereneartau1237]

Love your work Jane. I just wondered what you clean your glass jug with after mixing resin please? I'm always concerned with constantly throwing away plastic containers after mixing resin as I don't think you can put it in the recycle bin. Thank you :)

[@originalart888]

Would like to know this also!

[@arthibler]

Hi Jane, super video!!! So amazing art work you are doing! Love it! best wishes from Germany xxx

[@JaneMonteith]

art-hibler Thank you 🙏🏼😊

[@barbaraayala6487]

Love these pieces!! Thanks for all the great tips.

[@xencage]

Hi Jane! I’m assuming these are collage pieces cut from different paintings on Yupo? Do you have to color or treat the edges of the cut out parts on the top layer to keep the white from showing, or is the Yupo thin enough that it’s not necessary. Thanks for the great videos!

[@camillefulton7709]

THANK U SO MUCH SHOWING THE MAKING OF COASTERS. U DO A REALLY GREAT JOB EXPLAINING AND SHOWING HOW TO DO THIS. WONDERFUL. CAMILLE AUSTRALIA DAY 😄

Thanks Jane. The cup leveling increments is so simple yet effective! Thanks.

[@bornwithbsguards]

ingenious! best way i've seen yet!

[@rsparker421]

I love your art and am enjoying watching your videos! Do you photograph or scan your art when you are finished? Also, how do you make prints of your artwork? Can you please make a video showing how you do both those things?

[@JaneMonteith]

rsp717 I scan my art and edit in photoshop. If I do prints I use a local printer. Not sure when I’ll be doing a video of scanning and editing. But I have had people request this so maybe in the future I will.

[@ivysinkunas6186]

Hi Jane! I know that you made this video over a year ago, but I just watched it. I love your work and you explain things so well. I would like to know how and what you use to cut the round full circles and thin circles on the yupo paper. And, what do you use to glue them on the background. I tried cutting out the thin circles out of the yupo paper like you but they didn't turn out as nice as yours. Thank you so much.

[@JaneMonteith]

Ivy Sinkunas I cut all my work by hand. How I actually create this work is covered in my online ecourses at www.janesclassroom.com. Thanks for watching 😊

[@sylysyly9759]

Thank you for teaching us this..I've never worked with resin ..they look great! I just find when the music comes on I have to turn it down, then when you speak I have to turn your voice up..just so you know ..it can be a bit frustrating...but I loved this lesson

[@nissrentonbari9023]

Beautiful work 👌💕 thank you so much for sharing

[@huyenthanh7499]

Hi Jane, i love your videos, they are so helpful. But i cant find the wood panels anywhere in the links you share. Can you pls tell me where can i get it? Thanks.

[@liseabraham1883]

Hi Jane, Great video, Thank you. Do you do anything to the alcohol ink on yupo paper before the artresin?

[@UIV7096]

Could I do this same process however on a table top? Ty

[@laurabiscaro6900]

Hi Jane I am wondering what medium you used to get the black background on your piece. Thank you

[@tuirehamalainen6303]

Thank you!

[@JaneMonteith]

Tuire Hämäläinen You’re welcome. Thanks for watching 🙏🏼

[@karinalegumi]

HI, thank you for such clear videos very enjoyable. Please, can I ask how did you stick the cut-out yupo paper onto the base yupo paper? Thanks K

[@kwhiteway01]

So you don’t need to put a protective coat over the alcohol Ink on yupo before using resin on it? Thanks in advance!

[@DianeMaley]

Do you ever torch your resin in your measuring cup prior to pouring. I have heard this helps to decrease the bubbles. Of course you will still need to torch after the pour. Great video.....thanks.

[@JaneMonteith]

DianeMaley can’t say I have. But I’ll give it a try 😊😊

[@joycecintron2572]

Love this! Thank you! Do you have a video how to apply those designs you have on your wood panels?

[@JaneMonteith]

Joyce Cintron yes. Www.janesclassroom.com

[@gloriaharrelson4990]

What do use to glue down your pieces ? Thank you

[@JackieHall1000]

Hi Jane, what kind of tape is that you use around the edges to keep the resin from spilling over? I didn't see it on your list of products on Amazon. Thanks for all of your talent and sharing!!!

[@andreasarts8495]

thank you for such great tutorials :) Friendly tip for prepping the work surface for resin, Parchment paper. Resin wont stick :)

[@JaneMonteith]

Andrea's Arts Oh thank you!!! What a GREAT tip🙏🏼😊 Thanks for watching.

[@kasiafacciolo2087]

I use the parchemin (baking paper) too 👌 :) unfortunately, the problem I struggle with the most is the tiny bubbles :( I use the torch and the resin seems flawless and yet here they are, once all seems perfect and the piece is already dry. Are your resin layers totally perfect or there are some minor flaws on the surface? Great videos, by the way ❤️❤️❤️👍😊

[@wendyprice9046]

Hi Jane, I noticed on another video that you used sandpaper and it looked wet. Can you tell me what grit you find safe to use? Thanks so much love your videos.

[@nicoleturcotte8757]

Où avez-vous achetez votre petite bonbonne pour enlever les bulles d'airs sur la résine epoxy? Merci pour votre vidéo! C'est très généreux de votre part de partager votre savoir. Tanks!

[@JaneMonteith]

Nicole Turcotte Bonjour, I think your asking about the boxes or panel sizes. I have a shop link in amazon with some various wood panels. Thank you for watching 😊🙏🏼

[@kellyherbold5559]

I'm so glad I found you on here! Your work is amazing and I'm so appreciative of the tricks and recommendations regarding the resin! I have run into the exact same thing about the edges running down the sides! Also for some reason, my pieces have remained gooey. Maybe I didn't have the mix right. Would I be able to do another layer of resin to fix that? I'll email you the pieces I'm talking about to see if you can help me fix them!

[@andreaharutunian3316]

Awesome video! Thx for sharing 🎨🎨🎨

[@JaneMonteith]

Andrea Harutunian You’re so welcome! Thanks for watching, Andrea. 🙏🏼

[@Debbio2222]

great piece. are the circle designs done with alcohol​ ink on yupo paper then adhered to the piece?

[@jamiebergstrom464]

Thanks for the tutorial! How do you clean out your measuring cup so well with leftover resin?

[@JaneMonteith]

Jamie Bergstrom I. Ow use plastic measuring cups. When the container is dry you can pull the resin film/residue out and you can then reuse it.

[@jamiebergstrom464]

Thanks! Mine was unable to pull out, but will try again!

[@JaneMonteith]

Jamie Bergstrom are you using plastic? You have make sure the container has very little resin left in it before leaving it to dry.

[@jamiebergstrom464]

There was not a ton, but a little more than a thin layer, so I will try to make sure I get most of it out next time. Thanks for the advice!

[@JaneMonteith]

Jamie Bergstrom if you follow me on Instagram I have a clip up as my latest post on this. Instagram.com/janelovesdesign

[@dediezachary9519]

How do you get the small pieces of tape off that stick to the edge?

[@nicomom152]

Wow!!! nice. Can I put resin on all surface?

[@lizashurland1720]

How can I fix a canvas that is showing diamond dust particles? It would seem the little glass pieces are too large and did not submerge well and are noticeable when viewed at certain angles.

[@sk4152424]

Excellent finish! Where do you get these panels made?

[@TurbanDiva]

Will a magnetic mixer work OK for the resin? Thanks so much for this wonderful video!

[@shellydianenovascotia3914]

Great video....have never used resin....not sure if I will or not...but very interesting......is resin expensive to use on artwork? What do you figure it costs to do one of your pieces you show in your video here with resin?

[@Pipsterz]

Hi Jane, Were stuck. There's two bottles shown. You referred to using "each" of them throughout, but you never say what the second mystery bottle is (?) Did we miss it lol? We watched twice. Liked the bubbles disappearing.

[@bornwithbsguards]

Hi Jane! I love your tutorials. If you get a chance please answer this question. Since you tape off the sides and that resin pours over it how do you remove that tape near the top edge where its really connected. Does it not dry to the resin? I don't understand. I can see it removes easily from the bottom where there are mainly just drips. But around the top edge its got to be hard as rock connected. No?

[@JaneMonteith]

Sage Flowers if you left it for a couple of days it would be but slightly under the 24 hour mark it’s fine.

[@bornwithbsguards]

@@JaneMonteith Thanks Jane. You rock!
