Painting COASTERS takes HOW LONG?!! From pouring blooms to resin coating, is it worth the work?

[@hollysmith2697]

I'm so glad to have found YOU!!! ACTUALLY 100%REAL & cracking me up at 4:30 a.m. after another pouring FAIL! THANK YOU

[@elainestevens3312]

Would love to hear about the costs.

[@JoyWilliamson-b8n]

Cover the bottoms of your coasters with painters tape before painting. Leave the tape on until you’re done resining. Use your heat gun to soften the resin drips as you peal off the paint. Bottoms come out clean and ready for cork.

[@PaintedRaina]

I do this now religiously. :)

[@lisadumas6422]

And probably the most important thing I don't think I said is those coasters you show our gorgeous.

[@pamcolechadwell1302]

WOW, Those are gorgeous, I like them better than any I've seen yet. The color combo is so gorgeous. Thank you

[@PaintedRaina]

Awww, shucks! Thank you, that's so sweet!

[@lizblank4662]

Brilliant video, so glad I found you. Love your style of honesty, definitely will be watching more videos. Just what I needed to know. Thank you 🧙 😊

[@kristinemason5435]

You are a hoot! But most of all a great artist and teacher!!

[@tracyblakeley2709]

Thanks for sharing your knowledge great video 😊 beautiful tiles

[@sedaraclark2741]

Wow! I've watched hundreds of videos on KZbin about fluid art, but I've never enjoyed any as much as I did yours. Your explanation was right on hitting so many details about how just making coasters can be so tedious and time consuming all while making me laugh. Really enjoy your sense of humor.

[@patriciavenable4269]

Okay 😅, about 2 minutes into the video, you won me as a follower. I like your work and applications. Thank you

[@Christinefreedomfidos]

Girl just have to say you are definitely my favorite!!! You make the best of everything by making fun of yourself! Keep being you... and NEVER stop❤️❤️❤️

[@PaintedRaina]

Thank you so much, Christiana. I appreciate that you appreciate what I do!

[@mikecarter8880]

Thanks. Just got into paint pouring, done 8 8x10s and didn't turn out great but learning. Saw your video ran out got tiles for .11 each, came home with 40 for just over $4, not bad. Just did 1 with neon paints and looks great. Sadly my place only had white and no octagonal . Subscribed!

[@bananaclairedesigns1886]

these are absolutely beautiful!!!!

[@PaintedRaina]

Thanks, Shannon! I was pretty happy with them; more importantly so was my mom!

[@annehughes6834]

I had my 1st coffee of the day with you and wow thanks I was going to wander down that road and still might I do want a set for myself. I use to make 3d butterflies and they were very time consuming I made 1000,s over a few years and only have one left for me. Retired from working now and want to keep busy crafting and painting is my go to. Thank you for a clear view of what I am about to take on and bless you for your wtf My kids call me the wood witch so from one to another Thank you

[@PaintedRaina]

It's certainly worth it as long as it's fun for you! I make them for myself and family, but I must admit making them to sell has lost its luster for me. I'd rather work on items that will hang on the walls. Speaking of 3D butterflies, I made one of those recently (steampunk style) out of polymer clay and mounted it to a fluid art painting. I have a video on that, maybe the second-to-most-recent? Is that the kind of 3D work you make? And funny... I haunt a little patch of woods here in WI and can only imagine what my neighbors call me ;)

[@HopeDesigns]

Great video Raina! Lol 😆 you are right. It's a lot of work. You should see how many are waiting for either resin or sanding. These are beautiful

[@PaintedRaina]

Right?! I have 60 tiles of various shapes and sizes that need a resin coat. Gotta wait until it's at least 20 ABOVE 0 - I can't get my house warm enough right now!

[@multiplecuriosity2469]

Thank you so much

[@PaintedRaina]

You're most welcome!

[@artmyheart7409]

You’re awesome? Bitchen? Tubular? Gorgeous coasters and amazing, informative, hilarious video! Thanks so much for sharing. 💕💕💕

[@PaintedRaina]

Awww, thanks! I'm glad you enjoyed it!

[@sosure]

you are Fantastic! Thank You! Great Video with loads of useful info!!! Bravo, your Art is Beautiful as you are.

[@PaintedRaina]

Awwww, thank you so much!

[@cherylhanney2434]

Great video! 💞 Thanks!

[@terriekaufman3681]

I am so glad I found you! You are gorgeous but more importantly you have me over here LMAO while I learn another way to do tile. Thanks for just being you but I must say Lady R, you missed your calling.

[@anjanowackadeklopp761]

So true.

[@FloatingDreamsStudio]

Beauties! And you are so right about the work as as I sit here watching you & finishing 12 sets! 💜

[@PaintedRaina]

Thank you! I have probably 150 tiles to resin prior to the summer craft markets and I just can't bring myself to do it! 😬😂

[@FloatingDreamsStudio]

@@PaintedRaina I hear you! I was the same. I have spent 2 full days resining and today is the third! I will never put myself in this position again 😳🤦‍♀️. The things we do to ourselves LOL.

[@SallyBreeden]

Thank you

[@lisadumas6422]

Well I'm subscribed to your Channel but I don't recall your face. You're whole tutorial is excellent. I took the course about two and a half years ago was doing fairly well and quit and got into plaster art for like 6 months and then went back to the Bloom and I cannot get the blow down and cells to save my soul. I don't really have space to do nothing I'm bumping into everything , my room is like a closet LOL but back to the point of not getting it down , it's easier for me to just swipe. I appreciate your feedback so much and I don't know why your videos haven't popped up . I realized this is 3 years old that was another question are you still using the same pouring medium Sherwin-Williams Ultra deep base 3:1 with Jo Sonja or polycrylic? Please and thank you and I'm not a drinker but I would sometimes just love to have me a Mudslide. Or better yet a Bloody Mary. Thank you and God bless and stay safe always. 😋 💕💕👍🙌 🙌🙏🏻🙏🏻

[@loricleary4473]

Thank you so much for sharing this.... I have 1 bucket of coasters to resin and I've never resined before... So I'm putting it off! Yours are beautiful ❤️

[@PaintedRaina]

Thank you, Lori! I fell very behind on replying to comments; I'm sorry! Have you resined yet? How did it go?

[@baileybrowndawg]

Thank you this was very helpful!

[@PaintedRaina]

Awesome; glad to hear it!

[@donnabennett6788]

Great video and so true! They are a lot of work! Your humor is very entertaining and you're definitely my kind of gal! Say it like it is no gray area! Love your work! I see your comments in the group. I love the Shelee art family! The camaraderie is above and beyond extraordinary. I will keep tuned in on your videos so til next time...Be well and stay healthy!

[@PaintedRaina]

Thank you, Donna! I'm glad you enjoy my dry humor, haha. And the Shelee family is the BEST - pretty much the only reason I regularly log onto Facebook anymore (I'm allergic to politics). You be well and stay healthy, too!

[@viclizlae6505]

That was very enjoyable to watch for many reasons. Thanks for sharing. 😍

[@PaintedRaina]

Glad you enjoyed it! Thank you!

[@cathryneahrens7784]

Just found your video. Have been thinking about doing coasters. Your breakdown of the process is much appreciated. I have the paints and stuff, no resin purchased yet bc I'm a little leary of it and have asthma to boot, so a respirator will need to probably be purchased. Lovely you and lovely coasters! I also especially appreciate the colors of the coasters.

[@TherapeuticCreations]

These are stunning 😍 and thank you for breaking down making coasters and your honesty. It’s made to look easy and effortless...it isn’t. In saying that, when you hit that sweet spot in regards colours, then it is so worth it and you definitely hit that sweet spot 😊

[@PaintedRaina]

Thanks so much! 😊 Sometimes as artists I think we forget about ALL the work that goes into making it when we go to sell it, and underselling oneself is such a sad thing. And yes, this color combo really is special. I have done some larger pieces with them too.

[@ItsArtByDonna]

Raina, you're always good for making me smile and then outright laugh my as~ off!!! Truer words were never spoken...I think about this all the time and you have done it...I'd love to send this to my Etsy customers and let them see what they're getting for pennies on the dollar!!! And my friends who get it free!!! I've given more art away HAHA...now I'm waiting for this pandemic to be over, I'll have hundred's of painting's and I'm going to go sit my as~ at the beach and sell it at art fairs on the weekends for $10.00 each....it was cheaper then therapy and maybe I'll get enough to buy me a plane ticket to an exotic place!!! You're the best sweetie! Keep it going! I Love it! BTW...WAY TO GO on 1000 sub's I've just reached 100 and I was thrilled!!! Come by for a visit if you have time!

[@PaintedRaina]

Oh, I'm so glad you laugh! Thank you for the kind words. And yes, there's a part of me that wants people to understand how much goes into making something like this. But even more than that, I need to remind MYSELF because I can err into people-pleasing behaviors and I'll end up under-selling myself. My end-goal is sitting my a$$ at the beach, but that sounds like too much work if it's selling coasters! Ha! Congrats on 100!

[@ItsArtByDonna]

@@PaintedRaina That was a joke, my daughter said she'll sell my painting's in her spare time (she's an attorney by day) and let me travel when this is over, the therapy part is the part that's true...HAHA...at the price of a therapist today! Enjoy sweetie, you're really very enjoyable and have a great talent!

[@jackiejackson935]

Love the colors!

[@PaintedRaina]

This color combo is a winner for sure. Thank you!

[@MichaelColgatePhotography]

Wow...Those coasters are totally gnarly dudette :) What a great video. People do not realize the amount of time and energy it takes to create something like this, and they really do not understand how much money is invested for even the smallest of projects. Keep those videos coming...A Celtic Blessing for my new Witchy Friend...May you have - Walls for the wind - And a roof for the rain - And drinks beside the fire - Laughter to cheer you - And those you love near you - and all that your heart may desire.

[@PaintedRaina]

Thanks so much! I love that blessing - I haven't heard it before. I appreciate it all!

[@RobSeggie-fz5sc]

Thank you for your video I found this to be the best video explaining all of the steps for success in using resin. I found myself to be hesitant to try this due to uncertainty however thanks to your video and no dout a pinch of good old fashion Wisconsin WTF magic I find I now feel confident and to try. I decided to subscribe and become a follower or disciple of WTF Coven of art . Again thank you so much looking forward to learning more and having fun with little pinch of b*thchcraft, greetings from Vancouver!

[@GarrickBrownArtStudio]

Love your wit and personality !!! I want to try this color combo... It reminds me of holographic playing cards. ❤😀

[@PaintedRaina]

Yes, I can see that (and I LOVE holographic stuff)! Thank you!

[@carolynbrew3770]

Raina you finally got me with the coaster I like and subscribed I also loved your TLP ❤️I totally agree with you..and have been changing 40.00 for my coasters I do a double resin they are so nice and if course paint on the back with cork .

[@jenrobicheau7986]

I love your art and your videos!

[@PaintedRaina]

Thank you, Jen! Gotta get those piggys in pretty much everything now - I know you understand!

[@melissamcgrath7599]

I happened to hit on your channel by accident, and I'm really likely it. So I subscribed. You gave a lot of good tips. 😊

Thank you! Cheers!

[@kim99may]

❤️🌈❤️Love the pastels with the black cell activator. I like to make art then never finish it off. I’m done with it after the creating process. The math would scare me if I had to sell them. Lol

[@PaintedRaina]

Thank you! So I must ask - what do you do with your art?

[@kim99may]

@@PaintedRaina put it in a cabinet in my garage studio. Some times not good enough for resin a spray sealed and out on my kindness wall where I put my rocks. I have given some for gifts so I finished those. Lol

[@denisemiller8474]

Your great . You had me laughing.. I saw your hair dragging do you ever get resin in your hair lol 😂..

[@beverlytriplett7075]

Can you use paint that is all Ready

[@smoothsouttakes2769]

i like witches and im very energy efficient......

[@sacorsha]

Quick question: so what do you charge for your coasters??

[@PaintedRaina]

Hi Sacorsha, I've been selling them for $40 for a set of 4 or $10 for an individual. I don't think it's enough, honestly, but that's what our local craft market supports.

[@sacorsha]

@@PaintedRaina thanks for answering. Ive been settling the 4x4 tiles for a little over a month and started at $20. Im seriously considering changing to either $25 or $30

[@kimberlygranger5205]

I make coasters, but not anything like these.

[@sosure]

and you are charming and have a great sense of humour. TY!! don't worry, lol i am not a creep hitting on you, i promise. lol (i'm very gay, lol) i just think you are awsome, that's all.

[@PaintedRaina]

Hahha! I'm not getting any creepy vibes from you. I'm glad you're excited and think I'm cool! Thank you!

[@sosure]

are you related to Taylor Swift? You could be sisters! wow!

[@PaintedRaina]

No, but I've heard that a few times. I was blonde for a few months (baaaad mistake) and I still didn't see the resemblance. But, it must be there!

[@TheOriginalUberGoober]

Several hours is a Huge amount of time and effort…. Doesn’t seem accurate.. coming from a professional roofer here. But I can do a roof in 10 hours and make about $20k so I guess she can keep her coasters. But looks cool.

[@PaintedRaina]

Not really sure how to take that, but roofing and making coasters don't seem comparable to me. My times are accurate, so at least there's that. And you can have the roofs - no heights for me!
