I Made a Rainbow Crystal!

[@monicafay1904]

I am super glad you leave your "fails" because that way we know that 1) video makers aren't always perfect and 2) we learn from them. Thank you for being vulnerable! Love your videos!!

[@plantdaddylady]

Yes!! Id love to see you layer rainbow colors of clear colored resin bottom to top with some chunky glitter layed in each and black last layer so it mimics your amethyst. Witch craft fairs would be quaking!!

[@quietinspirationcreations3448]

Just an FYI, to maybe save you a little silicone, and allow you to mold the bigger crystal, you could pour a thin layer (maybe 1/2") and let it cure. Then, pour more mold maker directly on top of the cured layer, and put your crystal in, pretty side down. That way, you don't have to submerge it entirely, can leave out some of the "ugly" part, and not run out of mold maker! In my experience, and that of Yvonne Williams (another poly clay/resin KZbinr), that mold maker bonds perfectly to itself, once cured, since you're not the only one that underestimates how much you have, we've also run out mid pour, and had to wait for the Amazon fairy to arrive!!

Put a little metal spare key box in the bottom while it is still wet and you can put it in your garden to hold your key. Speaking of legos, I use the with my 6 way plugs on either side of my bed. I have placed Velcro in a few medium sized bricks, then attached more bricks to the underside of the 6 way plugs (I used hot glue but have had to do touch up due to the heat. You could probably do super glue). Then just attach the legos on the 6 way to the legos on the nightstand. Works so good and convenient. I used to have it with just the Velcro and not the legos, but it did not hold well due to the weight, so I found a solution to that issue.

[@quietinspirationcreations3448]

I love the clay idea, it would save so much sanding and filling! Funny story, when I started playing with polymer clay, I didn't have a lot of money or access to craft supplies, but I have two sons, 13 and 21! Wandering around the house, looking for ways to MacIver things like Tiny Pandora's "square pairs", and acrylic blocks, I swear, I stepped on a tiny piece of Lego (parents, you feel me). Putting the piece in the Lego tote, I discovered a whole new world of clay tools and resin molding. Not lying, when I say that Lego is an everyday part of my crafting!

[@marylizsotoquiles]

Imagine one with just clear resin and iridescent glitter 😱

[@KKatee777]

Dont think that crystals come with glitter. I think its one thing that should not have any glitter at all

[@marylizsotoquiles]

AndWhatAboutIt ? It wouldn’t be realistic, just a fun experiment. After all, thats the fun of resin art! ☺️

[@KKatee777]

@@marylizsotoquiles true that:)

[@muddyducksatv1501]

Love that piece. I want one in blues with iridescent glitter

[@zenmckenny6383]

This is my first time seeing your videos. They are so sweet, pure, and beautiful. It's amazing seeing someone take nature and turning it into unique things to keep permanently. Watching you pour resin over things and flowers, and creating crystals... It's like stopping a moment in time and dangling it there forever. :D

[@karenhartfelder4237]

Super cool. Would you be able to create a silicone insert for the mold that would allow you to then use it as a night light? So you could pop one of those flameless tealights in the bottom?

[@tammymurphy1268]

Real good vid!! Love the mold trys.i cant wait to try this!!!!

[@CreativecraftClosetJaneMarge]

love how this crystal turned out thku for sharing

[@taurean6201]

I love your humor in this video its great!!

[@EnlightenedFlamingo]

That turned out wicked cool!!!

[@reallifeharley3486]

This turned out Beautiful!! New resin artist and I'm so glad iv found toy Chanel. Love your energy and binging your videos!!

[@annettegongora156]

When you do the multiple cup method to mix the resin - do you re-use the cups over and over again. If so how you clean any resin left in the cups out b4 reusing. Would love to see that process in one of the future videos.

[@tracyjohnson2992]

Stunningly beautiful

[@axachll526]

if you ever run out of silicone, you can use scraps from past mold making or even cut up other silicone molds that didn't work out or that you don't use and you just plop em in on the side, they'll bond with your uncured silicone and fill up some space!

[@samvanderslikke7981]

And I love your channel sooooo soooo much

[@lennie3272]

Hi! I just wanted to say I love your videos I literally just started watching you today and I'm already a huge fan. You are so sweet and so adorable and so fun to just watch I really hope you continue making craft related videos.

[@ArtsyMadwoman]

Awww yay! Thank you sooo much! 😭❤️ There’s no stopping me! 😜

[@moonb3ams593]

I just subscribed and love you so much! You have the best vibe about you! You'll be huge in no time!

[@kristalpena2272]

Just a question? do you need to use a respirator mask with this kind of resin?

[@anns1921]

Loved this and you got such great results too. Nice job and such a great idea!!

[@maureenferreira1648]

I just love the way you presentations. You are so happy go lucky person. Love you ! !

[@ArtsyMadwoman]

Aww thank you so much! 😭💕

[@kasie680]

Love it 💓, but I think it would look Even better without white

[@justasamy9860]

It looks so cool!!!!

[@tammyscraftspace]

I would love to have your heart dish mold. I just love it.

[@shawnsisler3743]

You know, with the smaller pieces you make you could get some super strong magnets from Amazon and make fridge magnets. for sale or whatever...:D

[@Lisa_Zapata]

Bad ass!

[@suzieerlach1550]

I love your channel. You give me everything I've been looking for. Yay u

[@kellygallo1075]

I feel like I met my resin sista! I thought I did crazy things....I am not alone...Haaaa

[@terrilynn8119]

just resin makes a great, clear(ish) mold making kit. its been very good to me!

[@terrilynn8119]

the blue/yellow ur using, i didnt have a lot of luck with.. it cured w bubbles trapped inside, (i dont use a pressure method of getting bubbles out.. no patience!), and if you dont use that one in ur video up, in a timely manner, it will turn into a hard rubber ball, in the bottles. i Do still have some geodes i made molds w the one ur using that are still in decent shape and have been used a bunch! i just prefer the just resin one

[@bridgetcox3888]

It's so pretty 😍😍😍 😍😍

[@picassoronal300]

Oh wow!

[@divinagarcia1494]

Awesome video I been wanting to know how to use that particular mold liquid I just didn't know how to do it thank you for showing us how awesome video the Crystal came out amazing I want to make one💛💛💛🤘🤘🤘

[@deannwilson3553]

Amazing and interesting.

[@littlemisssunshine5628]

Yay! Now I understand why you want your piece down in the container before pouring the silicone! Awesome! Now I HAVE to try this!!! (Including a trip to Goodwill. LOL) Thanks again, Darling Girl! Much love to you!

[@jeannehinrichs5734]

now that's one of the coolest resin crystals i've seen

[@kellybattaglia8788]

Awesome, I love it! Excited to see what else is to come!!

[@ArtsyMadwoman]

Thank you so much!! ❤️

[@bridgetcox3888]

Make more please 😍

[@TheEtrangeclown]

You're a goddess girl !!! I love how you keep going ! I just start doing resin and it's because I saw your channel ! So thank you and please keep going :)

[@merrilywillis377]

yes what she said - you keep me inspired to keep trying !thankyou

[@libbyannbest1723]

Thanks. How long did you let resin sit before adding ink?

[@kezzascupsuktumblersandtut3089]

Hey hun, you seem to have some problems with working out how much silicone is enough to cover your objects, can I make a suggestion as a fellow crafter. take your item put in in your container then fill it with water to where you need it. Then tip the water in to a measuring jug what ever the water amount is is the amount of silicone you need to add. This will save you a lot of silicone, stress and money xx

[@angieclark767]

So cool.I want to make a Dinosaur for my son💙

[@CecileJanicek]

Yay on the gloves! Love the vid!

[@ArtsyMadwoman]

Haha yesss! & thank you!

Woowwwwww it looks amazing

[@carrie7116]

[@ujd]

Amazing ❣️❣️ love it

[@amypalladino2584]

Totally wicked. I may have to try a mold with some of my crystals. Of course I also have to buy some crystal clusters 😆

[@RBLACKPEARL7]

Very nice 👍

[@melissaa.bernstein910]

Zjust found your channel, and I am so inspired to get started with resin! Can you explain why, when you were making all those attempts at molds, you had the crystals facing up, instead of facing the bottom of the container? It seems like it would have used less of the mold material if you didn't have to cover as much of the source rock (which was really thick on the original crystal you were going to mold).

[@MeemeeMao]

I love you my resin queen. I binge watching your videos

[@ArtsyMadwoman]

Hahaha I wish I could be the resin queen 👸🏻 thank you!! ❤️

[@Freespeech11]

Thank you for another wonderful tutorial. I have my crystals and moldStar. Now to get up the nerve to do it. 😁. 💜💜💜💜💜 😉

Thank you for watching! You’ve got this! Haha let me know how it comes out! ❤️

[@kandyclove]

ughhh i love iiitttt, thank you for showing us how to get it out

Absolutely!! Thank you so much!!! ❤️

[@samvanderslikke7981]

I love love love it

[@sharonhendrie9910]

Sooooo beautiful ❤

[@robinjohnston7986]

What resin do you use? Why is my alcohol ink coming out so dark with added to my resin? What is the white you use with your colored ink? Thank-you. By the way you are amazing.

[@TheKazadoodle]

It's in the description box, along with a code and a link to the store.

[@blackberrybunny]

Hi AMW, I don't know why this video doesn't have more likes. I love it. You are so cute, and pretty, and fun to watch. I'm a lot older than you, I'm 50, but I have learned so much from you already. Especially from your "Fails," which are in fact, not fails, but happy little accidents. If everything went perfectly, we'd have less to learn from, and learning is the key to perfection! Love this crystal. Was wondering, what if you didn't add any WHITE alcohol ink-- would it still be just as pretty? More translucent? Or do you add the white to add 'depth?' I have only made less than 10 tiny pendants, with only a sprinkling of glitter and a drop or so of translucent alcohol inks. I'm such a newbie, so I'm learning as I go. My 15 bottle set of inks did come with a black and a white, and the black is not very opaque at all. I think the white will be the same. It will take a lot of drops to get a very opaque look with the brand I bought. But it's ok--- the point it to have fun, right?! Please keep making your resin videos--- they, and you, are wonderful!

[@merrilywillis377]

how do you know how much ink to add - it looks like you use a LOT but it seems to come out well. I am scared that the colours will all merge into a dark messy colour

[@etherealgoddess7969]

STOP BEING SO DAMN ADORABLE

[@LaunaLove]

Try waiting about 20/30 min after you've poured the resin before adding the alcohol ink, it creates more defined "clouds" if that makes sense

[@claudialala3]

Amazing!

[@tinamariemalinowski2745]

love the colors what inks o you use

[@JustCardsBySara]

Looks Amazing did u get ur big crystal out of the mixture??? Imagine it with mica omg be awesome

[@kirahfelton2227]

Is it possible to sit the mold in a warm/hot water bath to get rid of bubbles as your pouring resin 🤔

[@chrisa4811]

It's a craft knife . You do craft with it 😉

[@jessicagrage1225]

Curious... why so many cups while mixing?

[@wendygliddon3350]

Love your energy! I have a question for you, do you know how resin stands up to the elements, I'd like to make things to hang outside:)

[@ArtsyMadwoman]

thank you!! So I don't think it would have a problem with rain but if you keep a resin piece in the sun, it'll get discolored. It'll kinda turn kind of a yellowy color, depending on if the resin you use is UV resistant or not. I'm sure it would survive normal weather but the sun would discolor it.

[@belindamason8286]

😱😍❣️💕❤️ Wowza!!! I love yours better than the original! You’re awesome; love watching your vids!

[@ArtsyMadwoman]

Yesss the rainbows in the resin one makes it so much better 😝 thank you!! ❤️

[@marym906]

I just found your channel and I love your videos! Can you tell me what the white is you are putting in the mold with the inks? Thanks so much!

[@ArtsyMadwoman]

It’s white alcohol ink! It’s what makes the colored inks sink. I get the large bottle of Jacquard Piñata white alcohol ink on Amazon!

[@ohhthevanity]

I can’t believe im just finding your channel today! I love your personality and energy 💖 your videos are fun, relaxing, and also educating 😊 really gets me inspired because i just got into resin making. Keep it up 💕💙💜💗💖💘💞

[@KiSaralise]

Frickin RAD DOOD! I wanna make a gazillion!!! 🤣🤣🤣

[@AmyAndreaBeautyBlog]

Do you sell your pieces ? Xxx

[@xcowgirlx]

Do you sand rough edges/or any ugly extras on any of your resins? If so how? :)

[@ArtsyMadwoman]

I definitely do! There can be slightly sharp edges so I’ll take a sheet of sand paper & gently go around the edges till it doesn’t feel sharp anymore!

[@NumberOneDragon]

Your videos are fun to watch and you don't do the voice inflection at the end of every sentence. I've noticed in a lot of instructional videos people do that and frankly it is distracting. The natural speaking voice you have is great. Has anyone molded untreated wood? I have a wood coaster I want to make a mold from. It is not sealed so I'm not sure if I need to seal it or spray it with something before making the mold with it.

[@Shadingoftheheart]

Yes you need to seal it, otherwise it will release air bubbles into your project

[@gabbymacias6879]

I have a big bin full of random Legos I rescued from my sons room clean out, I mean a 'big bin'! I am interested to hear what to do to use these Legos for mold making. I have dabbled in resin a little bit and just recently ordered a large amount of a two part resin from Amazon called UNICONE ART. Supposedly self leveling, high glaos & perfectly clear, no odor-breathe easy, 1:1 mix ratio, BPA free & NO VOC's excited as heck to try this stuff! Love your channel and the info you share so freely!
