Message in a Bottle Epoxy Resin Paperweight Cube with Ocean Sea Foam Effect | DIY

This beautiful aqua blue resin paperweight contains an embedded glass bottle carrying a secret message over an ocean of sea shells and real pearls. The glistening sea foam effect creates the illusion of movement at the surface.
This is an intermediate level tutorial which requires multiple resin pours consisting of clear epoxy art resin, UV cure resin, and doming resin.

Thanks. I'm from Brazil and loved your work.

[@Dhanen]

Awesome work, you make look easier than I bet it is. Cool auto-translation, I even thought it was an spanish channel. You should have more subscribers!

How do you do to get the auto translation of the video?

Thanks for taking the time to share your work. Much appreciated

[@rosielow527]

Can we just take a second to admire how accepting this guy is of criticism? In every comment I’ve seen so far talking about what they disliked, he seems to be very nice about it. I love when people can accept that not everyone will like their work, and take into consideration what they can do to improve!

[@resinAce]

😎 I did fight back against the comments with a follow-up video, all in good spirits of course 😂 kzbin.info/www/bejne/bYWchYSVprSagqc

[@crazycatlady39]

I wish you'd covered the entire bottom with the sand. It doesn't really look like the ocean with just a circle of it.

[@resinAce]

Thanks for the feedback. I actually did that for a trial run but I didn't think it looked as good. I also tried regular beach sand, but it turned too dark in the resin.

[@crazycatlady39]

Hmm, then maybe a bigger circle of sand? Or a not quite to the edges square? My opinion is just that if the bottom isn't completely covered it reminds me of a fish tank. But it is still cool.

[@misterenigma514]

Same thought.

[@thatonekid1732]

I actually really like the circle, makes it feel more like a complete little piece to me rather than a slice of ocean 🤷‍♀️

[@crazycatlady39]

I prefer the slice of ocean version because then I can imagine myself in the water.

[@J3STERRR]

It won't be long before this channel takes off more than it already has. Thank you for the great video.

[@resinAce]

It's all thanks to wonderful people like you :)

[@rottureWIP]

ive seen people mix out gradients with a few layers of slightly more dye each time to make the transition between clear to blue look natural

[@TalonStormCrow]

I'm sorry, all I could think of when this was done was "I've got a jar of dirt! I've got a jar of dirt!" xD Beautiful job!

[@diedredunham7383]

It's white sand. I guess I see how you might see that.

[@osielramirez46]

@@diedredunham7383 did you know pearls are made by Sands by the clams did you know the clams pick up sound and roll around but it hurts them and then it turned into a pearl in their mouth

[@Regrettable-Username]

I love that you had clear instructions throughout, I don't have the supplies for this right now, but it's nice to have a legit how to for this really cool craft!

[@samanthakarabin7058]

Some people are saying the blue next to the clear looks odd, but personally I like it. While it might have looked better with more of a gradient, it allows you to see the sand and shells at the bottom better. I have seen quite a few resin projects where they either do all blue, or blue at the bottom and clear at the top, and it makes it hard to see whatever is inside it. Very cool though

[@Chrissnox]

Really nice, good work I would have gone with a gradient effect on the resin so it wouldn’t have been that hard edge but that’s me.

[@jillmassey7814]

What a beautiful piece, and probably one of the most relaxing resin videos I’ve ever watched! Thank you for sharing this 🤗

[@ydorbtsersug5079]

I see a lot of resin channels doing boring stuff that takes no effort, but I'm glad I stumbled across this channel! The stuff you make actually looks really good! Now excuse me while I binge watch the rest of your vids

[@mariamontero207]

I'm in love with that message in the bottle art. Beautiful!

[@sheilamoade6016]

So pretty . Definitely going to try this project as a gift for a family member who is obsessed with nautical themed decor .

[@choochiefreddy]

I loved the entire video. It came out so beautiful. I personally would have liked the bottom sand spread covering it completely. Still a beautiful finish. Thanks for sharing!

[@mimi-ey8yh]

this would be a great way to propose

[@Irene-gq4jr]

What a great imagination you have. This is a lovely little piece. I enjoy sculptural projects such as candle making, this inspires me to try working with epoxy resin too.

[@StephenBoyd21]

I am not sure that I like the transition between the clear and the blue "water". It looks a bit like oil floating on top of water.

[@resinAce]

Thanks for the feedback, you've just given me an idea for a new project :)

[@jameswalker199]

What could be fun would be to add a small stone, a small easter island head, and a small pineapple to the sand base. Also maybe a light coloured felt pad to the bottom to prevent scratches.
