Thanks Mandy 💚 it's hard for me to pick a favorite too. I think I'm leaning towards the black tray though. Those little spatulas are so handy.

Green is my favorite color but I like the black tray best! I haven't tried a tray yet...maybe next.

[@naptimecreations]

Thanks for watching Carol, the black tray is my favorite too 🌻🌻 I hope you give it a try, they would be great for decor in the bathroom / kitchen. I was thinking I could put my soap & lotion, perfume etc on it in the bathroom. In the kitchen it would be great next to the sink to hold hand soap, sponges etc. 😁💚

[@HeathersTreasures]

tough decision since green is my fav, but I have to say black. It's more classic. You have such cool molds!

[@naptimecreations]

Awe thanks Heather, the black is my favorite too. I think I have an addiction to buying silicone molds 🤣 I just bought a bunch more and they shipped yesterday 😆💚

Real nice both are great the black one would really pop if you did the etching it’s personal preference 👍🏼💜💕

Thanks Gina, I was thinking that too. Thanks for watching 🌻🌻🌻🌻🌻🌻

[@Synchronicity21]

thanks for sharing. I'm new to resin, but not the crafting world.. I have some awesome molds that I purchased from overseas and some locally. This techniques is what I will try on my smaller projects. Even a fine point acrylic paint pen was too big for some of the smaller items. Im glad I found your channel. I was trying to see if I wanted to deepen the etch like engraving, which would be the best tool for resin

[@naptimecreations]

Thanks so much for watching. Sorry for the delayed reply. KZbin put your comment in my held for review folder so I just now saw your comment. It wasn't a published comment. This technique works get to fill in the etched designs on your resin pieces. I also recently discovered a squeege and acrylic paint work well too. I show how to do it in this quick 4 minute video if you want to check it out. kzbin.info/www/bejne/jaXTc6d9hJpmg9U

[@usherl250]

I’m not a green fan either but I do love that green druzy, the special cut of holographic really gives it an extra sparkle factor. The black one is cool too. I wonder if you painted the yellow and brown of the sunflower how that would look. Maybe with a different glitter.

[@naptimecreations]

Thanks girl, I think the Brown and yellow painted in the etching would look really pretty with a pearl White or white glitter 😍💖 thanks for watching 💚

[@jofish420]

o0o! I love that glitter!

[@naptimecreations]

Thanks so much Jo 😘😘 It makes me so happy you are trying my tips. I try to keep everything as simple and easy as possible 😊 I bought a 7.5 inch druzy insert from her. I can't wait to use it. She gave me a little insert too. It's so sparkly and pretty. Have you checked out her b grade mold page on IG? She has some nice discounted molds on there with tiny imperfections. I bought an ashtray mold and I can't even see where the B grade is. Lol. Definitely check that page out. Can't wait to see your koi piece, I hope you post a pic on IG or FB. Thanks for watching 💗😘 I appreciate you.

That looks amazing. Love the Glitters! I'm not a green person either. But this tray is absolutely stunning Tish. I do love the black though. Just because I'm partial to Black EVERYTHING! Black is the color of just about everything in my condo! Kitchen Cabinets, couch, chairs well just about everything is Black, Pink & White! I have a question for you Tish. I just made a Black, Gold & Clear 13" Resin Tray. Both sides do look wonderful, except the side that touches the inside of the mold has streaks & smudges on it. I am so upset. Do you know of anyway at all to remedy this issue? Seems most molds I buy do have smudges or something on them. Even the expensive molds. I'm just "hartsick" about this! 🐇 🙄😞 I ran water over them and blotted with a napkin. Hopefully I now didn't leave water spots. argghhh. Thanks for your help.😊🐇💗💕Bunny Hart . On IG @bunnyrhart4u

[@naptimecreations]

Thanks so much Roxy 💗 I love all things black, pink and white too. I bet your place is beautiful. 💗 did you post a picture of your tray on IG I'd love to see it. I'm going to go check it out right now. I know what you mean about the molds it's so frustrating when a tiny spot is damaged. The only thing I know that will fix the blemish on the finished piece is a clear top coat. Unfortunately there's nothing you can do to fix the damage inside the mold 😥 super frustrating because molds are expensive & top coats are probably my least favorite thing to do but it always fixes the problem. Sorry I wasn't more help 💗

Black for me

very pretty and creative..your glitters do not sink but spread evenly. Any tips for that? Thank you in advance

[@naptimecreations]

Thanks so much and thanks for watching 🤗 to have the glitters spread and not sink I like to use a thicker resin like a TableTop Epoxy. It holds the glitters nicely. I like to use TotalBoat TableTop epoxy 🤗

@@naptimecreations thank you for your response..could you please advise me how do you define a thick resin? How do you know one resin is thicker than the other brand? I am a newbie and from Asia. So, I am buying from local brand..
