OK... THIS IS CRAZY COOL! A Resin Art Video by Daniel Cooper
Here is a Resin Art video of me experimenting with UV resin and hair shampoo, OK, the results are not going to be to everyone's taste, but, I think it's still pretty cool and it has given me more ideas to play with! As mentioned, a big shout out to @DuncanCustomAirbrush for the inspiration to try the wires! Here's Duncan's Vid below where he tried this technique:

[@DuncanCustomAirbrush]

I love this my friend and I appreciatethe mention!! The colored resins look AMAZING and so many possibilities!!

[@daniel..cooper]

Thanks Duncan 😊😊😊 No problem 😊 Looking forward to more resin vids 👍

[@AngelCrafts1999]

I thankyou for the inspiration this is amazing

[@MarcysArtsyFartsyCreations]

When many minds come together, nothing is impossible, think of how many great things have been accomplished through the inspiration of one collaborating with the different perspectives of many others (medicine, bridges, airplanes, space exploration, deep sea exploration). You did justice to someone else's inspiration 😊

[@daniel..cooper]

I know this is very different, it's definitely not going to be to everyone's taste, however, I have already tried dipping one if these in my dipping resin and it came out looking like Amethyst! 😳 There is potential here 😊

[@farrenrohana]

Put it in a nice round bubble somehow. 😉

[@cherylalikhani5957]

I love the idea and results, one of my favorites. Would make a cool sun catcher.

[@josiepalmer6536]

Why not make a small loop in the top and pop a bench in. It would make it easier to turn .😊

[@josiepalmer6536]

Pencil in

[@TheWickkit]

Couple things I thought about while watching; Maybe slide the wire down into the shampoo and then sweeping it up through the resin to get the top that is left open. Also, maybe putting the resin in not in a filled in area but with an open middle so when you swirl the wire through, it's not such a solid chunk to see how that turns out. Just thoughts...! I would try myself but I can't currently afford to be so liberal with my resin as this technique requires. Good job on the projects and I agree and appreciate your open mindset about learning and being inspiring to each other through this video sharing method. It's a strange sort of brainstorming collaboration almost to do things this way, and it's good to seize it as an opportunity, not view it as a creator and poser type of situation, kudos! 👍

[@ClanMidgard]

It works out pretty cool if you put the wire in first, then put the resin in, and spin the wire as you remove it from the pot as the resin cures too. I agree though, there is no copying in Art, if you reference people, it is inspiration! Awesome work from both you and Duncan! You can also use a slow electric screwdriver to hold the wire, and keep it spinning at a steady rate too.

[@barbridingsTheResinator]

Awesome shout out to Duncan Custom Airbrush. He is insanely talented. You amaze me with your experiments🤯 ! Brilliant

[@daniel..cooper]

Thank you 😊 Yes, his vids rock! 🤩

[@kheventplanner]

It is not copying,its flattering to a designer to have someone take their work and use it as inspiration. We all have to learn somehow,so repetition is the best way to go about it. This is so interesting to me,and im so glad ive found your channel!❤

[@daniel..cooper]

100% true 😊🥰 Thank you 😊

[@patriciaharkin1571]

This is cool Daniel. Once you have the first dip done, you could immerse the piece and draw lines of coloured UV resin on the surface of the shampoo, then slowly pull up and turn the piece to create a pattern.

[@daniel..cooper]

Thanks Patricia, that's a great idea! 😍🤩

[@lauriebevins8517]

My thoughts exactly, Patricia!😊

[@itsalways5oclock236]

Thought that too. Bet that would cover the top area well.

[@clairelucy5667]

These are so coool!!! Can you do this again but make big spheres with lots of dips (bigger shampoo bottle probably lol). Maybe do one just clear but between each dip attach the nail art powders and on another magnetic nail varnish - it would layer those colours in a crazy way! If they are spheres or other random shape depending on how you build the support structure (could play with the colour wire of it too) you could turn them into lamps which i bet would be epic, highlighting the inner structure and givijg off great shadows!

[@mikemccormick865]

There is always going to be someone in the group that tries to bring down the vibe. We will pay them no mind. I love watching your videos because you are always so positive even if things go awry.

[@daniel..cooper]

So true! Thanks as always Mike 😊

[@singingsam40]

There's no such thing as a failure, only learning opportunities.

[@DuncanCustomAirbrush]

That last one with the pink, the coral colorfade was stunning. Definitely see that as a pair of earrings!

[@daniel..cooper]

Thanks Duncan 😊 Much appreciated 👍 😊😊

[@nicolal6846]

I know late comment, yes glad you acknowledge Duncan's efforts, it's all a collaborative affair. Thank you both for the inspiration ❤

[@anitamitchell3452]

Hi Dan, I like it so much. Two ideas: #1 Making the top of the wire a T shape may help with the grip. #2 While the crystal is submerged the second time .. no light ... dribble resin down the wire enough to fill cavity void of resin, turn on light and swirl. This is so much fun!! Have a great day.

[@daniel..cooper]

Great ideas Anita 💡 😊😊

[@jayelleart]

Ohhh, I wonder if you could use you glue thickened resin…. Might not drop as fast. 🤷🏼‍♀️ sooooo cool and interesting! ❤️

[@daniel..cooper]

Thanks, will test that soon 😊😊😊

[@bluefish4064]

inspiration is the greatest gift you can give others and yourself , It’s what pushes things forward. Sharing is what bonds creatives together and being generous is important in life it is how we evolve . x

[@Doxymeister]

That's a nifty effect, kind of reminds me of rock crystal candy with the pastel colors. Very cool. You and Pouring Your Heart Out have inspired me to take the plunge, I got a beginners kit and have begun playing with it, I hope to get my granddaughter interested. Thank you!

[@daniel..cooper]

Thank you so much 😀 Yay, have fun 😊

[@katstorm13]

That candy is what I thought too!

[@shellylinn2672]

Makes me think of a stormy ocean, smoke swirling, and cotton candy/ candy floss 😊❤

[@fairyspunfibers9098]

Oh, now, those are just cool, Daniel! I'd wear them! 😊👍💕

[@nilsafaga74]

I think they would make great pendants. Love them.

Thanks Irene 😊😚

[@Ali-H3444]

Love your experiments Daniel.

[@daniel..cooper]

Thanks so much 😊😊🥰

[@jpendowski7503]

It is a lovely effect. To finish, cover the rough spots with your thickened clear, it would make a gem. Thanks for your experiments.

[@angelfromhellshawna]

Im LOVING this!! They look so unique...no one would be the same!! I think theyre STUNNING!! 💜😍💜

[@PrincessScary]

Absolutely not copying. You always give credit to the original artist for the inspiration, just as others do for you. I can see the amazing possibilities with this method 🖤

[@daniel..cooper]

Thanks 😊 It wasn't meant that way 😊

[@Anggea]

I love watching your experiments even though resin is not a medium I actively dabble in. And I really respect your attitude that while so-in-so was inspired, and tried something you’d put out as content, it in turn inspired and got your creative juices flowing in turn. 💕💕 I wonder, if you wanted things further up, if you partially submerged the wire frame, then added resin if it would cover the areas you wanted with a little more control? I do love the idea of putting things in a drill to get a more consistent spin… would a dermal or nail file have more adjustable speed settings then a traditional drill I wonder?

[@daniel..cooper]

Thanks, I will test those ideas next time, I have a few spinny things I can try 😊😂

[@Shines-On]

That wrapping of the resin looks so cool! Love it Daniel!!! ❤ You are amazing and always laughing at yourself and just always being kind. Thank you for sharing! And I truly mean that! Big hugs 🫂 to you.

[@daniel..cooper]

Thank you so much! 😊

I watched Duncan Customs video after yours which was totally worth it for the Daniel impersonation. I loved that some didn’t work too well after a product swap. Made me realise sometimes it doesn’t work like yours 1st go but to have fun either way. Thanks for sharing your amazing experiments!

9:04 It's starting to look like rock candy. 😂 Everyone is going to be trying this out. I'm going to be watching experiments this week. Did you see what Tea Nad Art did with your putty idea?

[@daniel..cooper]

Thanks, yes, she did an amazing job with the putty! 😍🤩

[@tishmoore2732]

Thank you so very much Daniel Cooper!!!! I intended to try resin many moons ago and purchased the resin along with a few other things. Unfortunately life got in the way, so the Resin etc was packed away in the box room. Since then I concentrated on paper crafts and forgot all about the resin, until Marion Emberson gave you a shout out on her channel. After watching only one of your video's I was hooked and have subsequently caught up on possibly all but certainly most of your video's. The video's that intrigued me the most were the petri effect and the sinker. So off to the box room I went, fully expecting the resin that had been sitting there for who knows how long to be useless. Rather than waste money, I decided to see if this resin was still usable for experimentation purposes and it was [it was a good quality resin]. I also made up some alcohol inks with mica powder and would you believe I had some white pigment paste; I was on a roll. Did the necessary last night, and have just de-molded. Almost Eureka!!!!! there was some slight evidence of the petri effect, which of course means I need to work on the sinker [in process as we speak] and had my colours not been on the anemic side [more work required] the final products could have been usable. Actually my test piece, which was a coaster, is usuable, it certainly works with red wine; haven't tried it yet with white wine. Not sure what your background is, but you are a natural teacher!!!! and I speak from experience

[@daniel..cooper]

Yay! So glad you decided to take the jump Tish! Congratulations on your experimenting also! It sounds like you have sucked everything up perfectly and are now putting the info into action! So happy for you! 🥰🥰🥰 Well done Tish 😊😊😊🤩

[@suebee4380]

Love to see the jewellery you make of them, they are amazing!

[@daniel..cooper]

That first one with the blue weirdly quite pretty x

[@daniel..cooper]

Thank you 😊

[@tammytoth5874]

WOWZERS 😮😮😮😮😮😮 SOOOOO COOL

[@ccada2023]

This is so fun and interesting! Wonder if you could start with the wire in the shampoo, sort of on its side, and then drizzle the resin over it as you turn it. Would need a flatter, more open vessel for the shampoo, though.

[@bobswihart]

That sure made some crazy shapes. 😊

[@daniel..cooper]

Thanks Bob, sure did 😂

[@ritaprovencher6048]

That is really cool! I can't wait to see what you come up with next!❤

[@daniel..cooper]

Thank you! 😊

[@WhatsNextAmy]

Cool idea, maybe attach the wire to an inexpensive resin paddle mixer to spin it.

Looks awesome Dan!

[@thephotonut55]

So cool! About the coolest thing I have ever seen

[@daniel..cooper]

Wow, thank you 😊

[@SunshineSomeday]

What if you start with the colored UV, then find a way to encase the whole capture in a smooth clear epoxy or UV bubble? You would see the crazy design with color inside, but it would make it more smooth for wearing as jewelry. It would be similar to blown glass..

[@SunshineSomeday]

Another idea is taking a filament like fishing line and attaching a pattern to your wire? I imagine that line capturing the resin in some interesting ways.

[@daniel..cooper]

That's a great idea! Most of the pieces were really smooth, just some odd bits but not overly sharp 😊

[@MIssditto33]

I love your experiments. They give me so much inspiration! You’re brilliant.

[@daniel..cooper]

Thank you 😊

[@Shines-On]

Ok now I’m checking my notifications all the time because I’m waiting for another mind blowing video!!! No pressure Daniel 😂 There are what, close to 7 billion ppl in the world? We learn or get inspired by other ppl all the time! It’s how us humans learn. Pls don’t let that 1 person bring you down. You are an inspiration for me and so many others. You are a rockstar imo! ❤

[@daniel..cooper]

[@daniel..cooper]

Thanks Lisa 😊

[@cjbee4938]

Another fantastic experiment - I’ll need to check out Duncan’s video now. I loved the “Venom” pendant most but the other two were fabulous too. Thanks again for all your experimentation, making it safer for us all to try these things. Can’t wait for the next one 😊

[@daniel..cooper]

Thanks so much 😊

[@marycronin1167]

Great experiments Daniel love all your work 🤗🤗🤗

[@daniel..cooper]

Thank you 🤗

[@mlfett6307]

In order to get the top of the piece perhaps you can dip the wire in first, THEN drip some resin in before you turn the UV light on. I find this all fascinating!

[@daniel..cooper]

Will be trying this next time 😊😊😊

[@kj7238]

Thanks!

[@daniel..cooper]

Thanks so much for the Super Thanks 😊 😀

[@cherylalikhani5957]

I'd love to see an experiment of layers of shampoo and resin poured over ice chips with bits of twisted wire connecting everything. Idea comes from hot wax poured over ice to make holey candles. I think it would make a gorgeous sun catcher.

[@daniel..cooper]

Oooh, I'm trying to picture it but I can't 😔

[@SusanLynch-n9l]

This is really amazing !!! I cannot wait to try it ! It is really cool !

[@AngelCrafts1999]

Daniel this was so pretty

[@daniel..cooper]

Thank you 😁 😊 🫂

[@ElectroAnnie]

I love this! I think once the initial base has been established, I'd just pour some resin directly onto the piece and then plunge into the shampoo to cure.

[@daniel..cooper]

Thanks, yes, that's a great idea 😊

[@ericamanda01]

Resin ropes/webs! This is so cool! I think I'm gonna try this, but instead of an open wire I'll use a stone to see what the ropes/webbing does! So excited to try this!

[@daniel..cooper]

[@cherylabrams7590]

Just a thought if you want just the top of it. To cover maybe leave it in the shampoo and drop some over the top and allow it to drop down over it.

[@daniel..cooper]

Will try this next time 😊😊

[@michaeltroll8429]

this is cool, i wonder what it would turn out if after the initial swirl you did an up and down plunging movement

To fill in the top part try putting the jewellery piece in the shampoo first then squeeze in the uv resin over the bare parts, spin the jewellery piece whilst curing with the uv lamp.

Yes, will try this next time 😊😊😊

[@cynthiaswain4070]

Very interesting technique. Curious to see what you create next. I appreciate how dignified you stated that its not copying. Heck if people want to go there, you'd just about have to say most artists would be considered copy cats. We all started some place.

[@daniel..cooper]

Thanks Deb 😊😊😊

[@stanislava_mel]

An idea. What if you put clear resin and then a colored resin into the still liquid resin and THEN put the wire and twist. I think it will make a very cool effect. For example, if you put clear resin and drop some blue resin inside the clear resin and twist the wire, it might look like a wave or water. And what if instead of twisting it around itself, you slightly stir from the outside in just once and then twist into a spiral? I am not sure if this makes sense but I hope it does. Or pull the wire slowly up while curing it so it kind of hangs. Just a few ideas.

[@daniel..cooper]

Some great ideas 💡 I'm not sure about stirring from the outside though, it may work if the wire wasn't there though, I will try 😊😊

[@Jellybean_Craftz]

Loooooveeeee it ❤ gonna try some tonight… thanks 🙏

[@daniel..cooper]

Thank you 😊 Have fun 😊😊

[@toughtimes6596]

[@cwv-artistry]

You should try this with a string with little knots in it to see what you get! Looks like fun!

[@cwv-artistry]

Maybe the silver ball necklace strings would be really good for this?? Also I'm curious what would happen if you put the copper wire in the soap then added the UV resin and raised the wire out as you had it spinning under the light?? You definitely have me curious ❤

[@daniel..cooper]

Thanks 😊 Will try this soon 😊😊

Just a thought..what if you somehow attach the wire to a small battery operated screw driver on slow to get a steady turn? Thanks for the experiment Daniel. It was fascinating.👍☺️

[@daniel..cooper]

Thanks Sue, yes, this is a great idea, could get some much stranger effects I think! 😍🤩

[@roku3216]

It does doesn't it 😂 thanks Maddie 😊

[@MelissaBurnsart]

I like that wrapping effect. I wonder how it would look if you took a resin heart from your mold, attached it to the wire then tried this technique to wrap it.

[@naomigable6698]

Cool

[@estellanaugle3135]

Also try taking a pretty stone attached with some resin or glue the doing this I wonder what it would look like!?
