Epoxy Resin and Alcohol Ink Hearts

This is a requested video from the lovely Louise. In this video I show you the process of making the ink drop hearts that I have started selling on Instagram.
I also feel like I have done better hearts .. but as soon as the camera is turned on .. I am not 100% happy with 100% of the hearts .. but some will certainly make their way on to my Instagram page to be sold.

Hello, love the video. How long do you wait in-between adding different inks? Is is immediately after adding the white or do you give it a little time?

[@marquesta82]

I know this is like 2 years old, I just want to share, I've been making these and gluing 2 halves together for a keychain. Pretty cool!

[@Braven-j7m]

Do you have to use a thick resin? I have been using a new resin that with a low viscosity and the white just drops right to the bottom, even in really deep molds without mixing very much

[@ClairesCraftyCorner]

Heyyyyy lovely... what white are you using ? You don't need a really thick resin ... but if your resin is like water I would just wait 20 mins before dropping ink x

[@squeezable]

When I used alcohol ink like this it stayed wet. Never hardened at all. I didn't use 4th of the ink you did.

[@johnfithian-franks8276]

Hi again, as a long time user of Canon (over 50 years and 6 cameras) I have never had a problem with the batteries. I am assuming that this is what you are talking about, if so you can get a side mount that allows you to have an extra battery and plenty of power. You are using the Canon batteries and not a cheap knockoff; also let the batteries totally discharge so they do not get memory problems.

[@ClairesCraftyCorner]

Heyyyyyy John ... thank you so much xxxx no .. the battery on it is amazing ... I am having major issues with the focusing .. it struggles to focus on what I'm holding in front of it ... Or if I'm doing some flat work ... it struggles to focus looking down . Like in and out of focus all the time ! I guess I could read the instructions xx lol

[@johnfithian-franks8276]

@@ClairesCraftyCornerIt sounds like a lens problem, if you are using the kit lens that came with the cameras, may I suggest a “nifty fifty” lens it is for portraits but it makes a good foreground les and the good news is you can pick up a new one for about £50, and that is cheap compared to other lenses.

[@tyshaunnastoglin1986]

I think it’s really cool you do resin too I really love your

[@ClairesCraftyCorner]

thank you so much x

[@Laikhayash]

Do you put equal amount of white and each colour ?

[@ClairesCraftyCorner]

Hey .. for every drop of colour I put a drop of white yes xx I mean I have never counted but generally x

[@Laikhayash]

Claire’s Crafty Corner I didn’t understand. X as in ? 1 drop of white ?

[@christinestafford9646]

They turned out great! I think the tricky bit is knowing when to stop with the inks lol. What do you use to make the resin black?

[@ClairesCraftyCorner]

Heyyy Christine I agree .. I am always cautious as resin is ££££ and I don't want to waste it .. but I think when I get new colours I'm going to try maybe 3 good layers on these xxx

[@ClairesCraftyCorner]

The black is opaque pigment from Resin 8 .... I adore their pigments xxxx

[@birdiepareagle]

This video is great - thank you so much. ONE QUESTION - what white alcohol ink are you using? It is just the regular one OR are you using the Sinker ink? Thanks

[@johnfithian-franks8276]

Hi Claire, I was very surprised by the amount of colour you used for each one; they look fantastic but must cost a fortune in inks.

[@ClairesCraftyCorner]

Heyyy John ... I think you could end up spending a fortune yes ... I haven't done that much ink dropping so this starter kit has lasted me .... but ... I am running out. I will put these on my birthday wish list ha ha

[@kellyp1367]

i personally really like the one you bumped with the ridge, it looks pretty cool with black in the middle. but i really liked the skulls, the deeper molds seem to yield some awesome color play.

[@ClairesCraftyCorner]

Isn't it just amazing ? love it too.... I should fall off my wheely chair more often 🤣🤣🤣🤣 the thing is a hazard on laminate floor haaaaaa...Cannot wait to do more skulls now .. x almost out only ink ... need to order some more colours still using the pinata starter pack x its limiting xxx Thanks so much for watching Kelly xxx ❤❤

[@HeadNtheClouds]

Now that’s what I call a happy accident 🥳

[@LouiseSingletonCreations]

Claire these are fabulous! I think I actually prefer the results of the ones where you thought you had left the resin too long. I love the way you present your videos, they are very ‘watchable’ if that makes sense. I know what you mean about canon, I bought a fancy camera but it lets me down with close ups and I always resort to my IPad.

[@ClairesCraftyCorner]

Thank you so much Louise ... Yesss omg my Canon lets me down on focus all the time ... even today I was filming and it just would not focus x Thanks so much I am proper chuffed you find me watchable :) xxxx

[@paulapogosian8375]

Hi Claire, love your work. I have question, how full do you fill the hearts with clear resin before you start dropping the inks? Are they 3/4 full or are they fuller or less full? It nice to know that even your stuff doesn’t always come out perfect. Paula

[@christinahutchison3967]

What is the Mossy looking stuff inside it it almost looks like coral you’re beautiful

[@ClairesCraftyCorner]

It does look like moss.... haa ... its just the way the alcohol ink reacts together and settles xxx

[@ClairesCraftyCorner]

Thank you so much xxx ❤❤❤

[@nancieparker4079]

How do you get the sparkles, is it in the alcohol ink, is it iridescent? It’s a lovely extra special effect.

Those are beautiful. I'm looking at getting into trying this but u said I added the black backing in the morning can u explain that? Is that just the ink or is it resine with black ink mixed?

[@ClairesCraftyCorner]

Heyy Kelly ... great that you want to get in to resin.. The backs are purely ti make them neat. You can do any colour but i think black makes the colours pop. I use resin 8 black pigment and mix it with fresh resin the next morning to make sure the hearts are set x I show this process in the next video where I do ink drop skulls ❤❤❤

[@CarminaVillamizarBeautyDiva]

Does this work with resin dye too? Can it be done with uv resin ?

[@ClairesCraftyCorner]

Hey lovely .. dye will not have the same effect no ... I also don't really think it will work with UV resin .. I have never tried though. I think UV resin cures super fast even without a UV light ... so you would have to pour real fast and ink drop real fast for it to go in.

[@mookzmom]

So darn cool! I'm a big fan of the Petrie stuff, and adore your experiments. I have seen from Myriams Nature that she has drilled out the white globs on the front of her pieces, and resined over them, so that you only see the good stuff. It's a thought. And I love the one with the black swoop in the center too! Thanks!

Ohhhhhh see it never occurred to me to sand them off .... I guess I could try because it won't be saleable so nothing to lose xx thanks so much lovely xxxxx

Myriam uses a dremmel tool and kind of gouges out the white blob, cleans out the hole, and then topcoats with resin. you can’t even see the hole part.

you hit my thoughts on Ink sinking, I bought other Alcohol Inks, One is "Let Resins" and they have 2 types of whites one in Middle Drop two Deep sinks,s and either sinks just sit on top I did my drops right after I mixed and let sit for 5 minutes, the only Alcohol Inks that drop well is Piñata Inks, but when I been doing the balls orbs, at times the ink kinda smears on the sides, you know like runs down on the outer making it on some parts kinda hard to see, wondering if you know why? and hopefully, understand what I meant😁 but I like how Ur came out, the skull hat is Cool✌🏼

[@ClairesCraftyCorner]

heyyyy Rom ... thanks so much .. yes I know exactly what you mean. If there is limited surface to drop ink .. like a sphere it will simply sticks to the sides on its way down ..

heyyyyyy lovely ... no absolutely no need x it will be fine and cure thoroughly without x

@@ClairesCraftyCorner thank you😊

[@allisonshatford1396]

Hi Claire, I tried this but the white didn’t push the ink colours down so all the ink just floated on the top 🙈 I used alcohol inks, should I have used a different white. Thanks 🙏

[@ClairesCraftyCorner]

Heyyyy Allison .... ohhhh im not sure why .. did you drop the ink straight after pouring ? Or within 10 mins of pouring ?

[@ClairesCraftyCorner]

What white do you have ?

[@allisonshatford1396]

Claire’s Crafty Corner It just came in a set with all the others colours. No particular brand. What ones do you use?

[@ClairesCraftyCorner]

Ahhh i see ... the reason I ask is because some whites look like alcohol inks but they are mixatives... mixatives do not act the same way xx I use pinata xx

[@allisonshatford1396]

Claire’s Crafty Corner ok great 👍 thanks for the advice. I’ll take a look at that one and have another go 😊
