Steve, know that you are loved and appreciated 🤗 I always wanted to try resin but I was very intimidated by it. You are the one who gave me the courage to go for it 🙌 I am comfortable with it now and I absolutely love it. I owe this to you my friend Much love ❤

Steve I fully understand where you’re at because I have to live with depression and anxiety with the health conditions I have; I will keep you in my thoughts a prayers that you find the answer to what is holding you there; you are a great inspiration to those of us who struggle from time to time

Steve, you really are a Jack of All Trades, Master of None. That was something that was often said of people with multiple skills at fixing and making things back in the 1960's, it meant you had multiple skill sets but you were not an expert at any of them. It was used as a compliment back then and I still think it is now. Both my parents were referred to that way, and I think it describes you perfectly. You like to have a go at anything and everything, and try new things, I like that about you and your channel, it's part of what makes you and your channel interesting, and it's what makes your channel great.

Thank you Carly. I just love trying new things. I have a terrible attention span so I see something I want to try I and off I go lol. The one thing I am skilled at I keep just for me. Because I would hate people see me do it and think it is easy and then be disappointed. I can guarantee that one thing is not knitting or crocheting lol. I would love to be good at those two things. When I retire, I plan to go on some courses to learn it.

Great video again Steve. One thing I am personally thankful for is that our mental health isn't a "taboo" subject to talk about these days. People feel more freedom to talk about their feelings nowadays which is so important. The very thing that helps us through these times is the love and support from others and of course their understanding. I've suffered with my mental health since I was a teenager. I'm 44 now and still fighting the good fight. It's all down to my supportive circle. Just remember Steve, you are never alone. You have so many people that care for you just here on your channel and hopefully in your personal life too. Lean on them when you need them and always remember you are loved. Be kind to yourself and keep crafting because you are amazing!! Did you receive the mould I sent you from amazon? ❤

You might be a Jack-of-all-trades, but you definitely are a Master-of-inspiration as well! I am always impressed with your ideas, but I was absolutely gob-smacked with these tiles! I simply cannot wait to do some dirty-pouring tiles with glass paints! You are so honest and open, and in spite of your depression you are a ray of sunshine. I often watch your videos for a first, and then immediately for a second time, just to be sure to not miss any details! I love your channels, please keep up the fantastic work!! ❤⚘❣

The snowdrops and poppy are my favourites but I also love the dirty pours especially the one with the white cells. Could you go around the edges with your metallic pens to give them a frame? Don’t know if the tile accepts the pen. Also Steve have you tried the method of pulling a chain through the dirty pour. This could look really effective too. Another great job. 😊

Great idea, the pens would work well. I have done chain pulls with resin, but never thought of doing it with these, great idea

Steve you are such a darling!! ❤ Thankyou sooo much for sharing with us your gorgeous self. I just realised that when I hear your bubbly voice, the stresses of the day seem to disappear. I know that it's time to focus on art and resin, "the good stuff" lol and for a little while just escape the world and have some fun. In a safe place, with beautiful people, being creative, listening to your awesome sense of humour and get inspired. So I just wanted to thank you so much for your videos, and for you to know that I am sending you a massive amount of ' feel better-big hugs-sun shiney-sparkly vibes' from Australia ❤😊
