It's ACTUALLY SNOWING INSIDE! This IS CRAZY! An Experiment by Daniel Cooper

[@danaparsonsliquidcosmosart2669]

You did this wrong.. the water will eventually go mouldy. I make these all the time as a dice maker and you need to add a bit of glycerin and some alcohol. (30-50 percent glycerin depending on effect and a few drops of alcohol don't need much to stop it going off) The glycerin will stop the mica settling to fast and the alcohol will stop the water going off. Also you can very much dome the top of the ball with UV resin..( but I only do that if it's going in a dice where it will be invisible) this is also the same solution for potion bottles.

[@daniel..cooper]

Oh no! I will mention this in an update, I though water was fine in these, I have seen people making the big potion bottles with just water 😔 My bad 😔

[@daniel..cooper]

I have pinned this so we all learn 🥰 Pls do it with the above method everyone! 👆 🥰🥰

[@MarcysArtsyFartsyCreations]

I'm sorry I missed your premiere, I was engrossed in a hunt for my finished Halloween related projects/inclusions/molds to clean and pack away to make room for all the Christmas projects coming up! I didn't realize just how many molds I used, how many inks/micas/inclusions I used, and how many inclusions and molds I had intended to use... until I started gathering and cleaning 😅 I will definitely make sure to make your next one!

Learned my lesson decades ago making snow globes. Use Distilled Water. Only as all the others will mold and turn green and grow algae inside. Other than that this works great. ❤ Wanted to catch the live but spent the day in the hospital. Finally got home.

[@lechatbotte.]

I saw a creator us a small piece of acetate to seal the hole, then use the UV resin to seal that. These are so clever.

[@daniel..cooper]

Thanks, that's a good idea too 😊

[@Leena79]

These look so cool, but I'm slightly worried about leaks. For the ball bearing...I recently bought a mold for tiny snowflakes, and I think they might fit inside these balls. Seeing a snowflake through the glass would be a nice addition, and they'd serve the purpose of keeping things in motion.

[@daniel..cooper]

They shouldn't leak if sealed properly, also may be an idea to hook them if not wearing to keep them upright 😊

I love the fun aspect of this. Now wondering about sticking a mini snowman etc in the bottom and making mini snowglobes. The original is more classy though, with just the subtle movement. Great tip about putting resin stirrer balls inside, btw 👌

Thank you 😊 Yes, you could use the epoxy putty idea 🥰

​@daniel..cooper ah yes I have some foam clay that I use to make clouds, but they are a right bogger for trapping bubbles. Epoxy clay would be better.

[@katstorm13]

I've got some flakey "glitter" that's a bit bigger than the larger flake you put in. Gave it a try, some sank pretty quick but some was slower. I think it's mylar, got it at a place that sells supplies largely for making nail polish. The matte white glitter shreds floated right away lol. I prefer irregular shaped flakes to hexagonal glitter, both for aesthetics and it comes off nails much easier than regular glitter.

[@daniel..cooper]

Perfect, thank you, I will try soon 😊

[@the.resintist]

no to water but yes to baby oil or something else more stable than water as it will eventually go green mate . but great idea especially for Christmas earrings or pendants 😉👌👊👍

[@ishihtzunaught]

hi Daniel, firstly I love this idea. I do have one concern though. Water does go stail/go off. I do nails and we do something called aquarium nails and we use baby oil. could you please try this using baby oil?

[@daniel..cooper]

Thank you, yes, just pinned an update from a viewer, oops 🙈😂

[@Oonagh72]

These are cool!! The heavy bearing would be nice. Just enough weight for swing, but not too much where they will hurt your ears. You should make your own “globes”. Just make a paint a few layers in a cabochon mold. Then glue it down to a plastic backing. Make a hole and fill it up. If you want to put things in it put the dry pieces in before the backing.

[@daniel..cooper]

Thank you 😊 I will try that 😊🥰

[@lokiwartooth1138]

You can take the glass balls out of shampoo and hand soap and use them also.

[@naudiaangelica6925]

The glass globes you have must be much bigger than the ones I got, because the top that comes with it looks HUGE on mine. It covers a lot more of the ball than I would like.

[@daniel..cooper]

Oh no, did you order from my link or did you already have them?

[@naudiaangelica6925]

@@daniel..cooper I ordered them from your link, but I must have ordered a different size or something.

Well you have given me an excuse to buy those glass balls. 😇 Those are beautiful. Other platform huh? I noticed that effect in the opening shot. I wonder how a glass seed bead would work instead of the ball bearing. I actually have metal BB's one tube has lasted years. Bought it for my nail gels and polishes that didn't cone with a mixer bead. That's it! They're called mixer beads. Just took me like 6 months to remember that.😅

Would it work with baby oil and mica?

[@cwv-artistry]

What if you coated some little tiny bits of Styrofoam in UV resin and dropped them in? Would it give the look of little snow balls maybe? And maybe coat them in a white sparkle this would remove the need for a bb being in it keep them moving and give a bigger snow effect.. just a thought you may want to try

[@daniel..cooper]

It may work but think they would be super floaty?

[@cwv-artistry]

@@daniel..cooper that's why I suggested coating in UV resin to weigh them down or on an even simpler idea make tiny white UV resin balls they would have to be transparent but would still give the snowball type effect I believe

[@cwv-artistry]

Oh or tiny diamonds in them how awesome would that be??!! And they come in soooo many colors too!! I get so excited from your videos!!

[@slfaina]

Wow. This sounds like it could be complicated. Instead of uv resin, can you adhere the cap with super glue? I think it may be difficult to penetrate those caps with UV light.

[@daniel..cooper]

Thanks, no, not complicated, this was only my 2nd attempt and the 1st ones worked great 😊 Super glue may work but I haven't tried yet.

[@maddieadams75]

Very nice idea, glycerin is a excellent product to use when creating shakers. It’s a little bit thicker than water and it suspends particles a little longer. Just a bit of info. Btw glycerin isn’t very expensive and it a excellent hand moisturizer too. ❤ thanks Daniel

Thanks Maddie 😊 Yes, will definitely learn from my mistake 😊😂

Never tried these before. But I'm wondering if the resin might react with the glass and crack it with any change in temperature?

drop an Orbie (orbee?) those tyhings that they call water balls or whatnot, into the water. it will swell up and bounce around but quietly.

[@rosesweet1967]

I can’t find that mirrored lamp, I have foil on the bottom, back and sides, I also make a flap or type of cover for the front covered in foil….so it’s enclosed with a small turn table that turns from the uv lights…

[@daniel..cooper]

That's a great tip 😊😊

[@fairyspunfibers9098]

Ohhh, these are so cute, Daniel! Even I would wear these! I was thinking (uh, oh): a small, clear glass bead would be great. OR...if you can make super miniature things like trees, etc., just use glycerin, Iso Alc, and distilled water to make a "regular" snow globe! You could even make a snowy bed of mica mixed with UV resin to stand a tree (or whatever) in, then fill with the liquid. I heard someone say that, when they make shakers or globes, the chunkier glitters work way better than the fine stuff.

[@daniel..cooper]

Thank you 😊 Yes, I will definitely try again soon with Glycerin and bigger glitters 😊🥰
