Painting On CD's 2

[@beckybanta126]

I am giggling just a bit......ok, a lot!😊 "Old & very old CDs, maybe antiques!" The 1990s seem a blink or 2 ago to me. Certainly what age we are presently influences us on our perspective of time. My childhood/teens were the '50s & 60s. Now that is old with antiques. (I am still wrapoing my head around this!) And I still play my CDs on recorder. Wish i had kept more of my records. But i digress.🙄🤔 Your paintings are lovely, varied, colorful & fun. Thank you, again, for bringing us along. I love Rose Requin Crafts day!😊

[@RoseRequinCrafts]

Lol, I was very much a 90s kid, but it really seems like yesterday. And records are coming back in style. I don't have any but artists are selling their albums on vinyls again!

[@edc9864]

Excellent! Give yourself some credit! These turned out great!❤🎉

[@lika17carat]

I love to draw cherry blossoms too!🌸

[@tianamoe]

You call the CDs antiques? Those were my childhood! I remember when Now That's What I Call Music just started! Hoo boy, I must be ancient.

[@RoseRequinCrafts]

Lol, it was a joke. These were all my cd's from my teenage years.

[@LitheFider]

R.i.p. that Eiffel 65 CD 😢 (I listened to that soooo much in high school). Honestly I still like physical media, also it's a good item for nostalgia, and in the zombie apocalypse I will still have my CD player. 😂 That aside, like your chill vibe in your videos and your voice! Nice crafting. 😊

[@RoseRequinCrafts]

I don't even think I own a CD player anymore. They don't even put them in new cars. 😭

[@colettebenstead-oy2zh]

I'm loving the cherry blossom one the best too.

[@RoseRequinCrafts]

A shiny top coat over the beetle would look nice.

[@lozantoninocreations]

Butterflies is my favourite. While you weren't sure on your white dots, I think they totally enhance them and look awesome :)

[@Taracinablue]

Fun and colorful =)

[@Kreative_Rainbow]

Big shocker - I LOVE the rainbow clouds disk!! 😮🌈 Great job on blending and keeping going when things weren't behaving as planned! 😍 Good job using reference photos!! 👏👏

[@RoseRequinCrafts]

Thank you! 🥰

[@Kreative_Rainbow]

@@RoseRequinCrafts You are very welcome!! 🤗😍

[@LynetteBunBun]

Rose a way to get the scratches out of the clear CD's after done painting what you want is to coat them in a thin layer of resin (it doesn't matter whether or not its UV resin or epoxy that is up to you) Most resins are self leveling and will fill the small scratches/ gaps and revitalize the clear properties of the plastic. another tip to keep the CDs from moving around is blue tack or that sticky tack that teachers use to stick things to the wall in a classroom.

[@jessomint]

I felt the "old" comment so hard. 😂 I love how these turned out! Great job on the beetle! I think realism would be pretty challenging with paint markers. Brushes and paint probably would've been a little easier for blending.

[@RoseRequinCrafts]

Lol. I resemble that comment.

[@supersonicracer19]

I was shocked to see Eiffel 65 Europop! I just bought that CD last year cause I really love the album and I love the CDs for road trips. :) All the CDs came out so cute! X3 Especially love the cherry blossoms and the butterflies. :)

[@lika17carat]

I love the intro😂😂😂❤

[@spleenforsoul]

I think the tape and foil technique would work well on CD-Rs. You know the ones we used to burn mix cds on, lol. You could scratch the top of those not even trying. It's not like bought cds.

[@RoseRequinCrafts]

I think you're right. Every video I saw of someone doing that was a CD-R

[@ArtisticKatz]

I love the cherry blossom, the butterflies and the rainbows.

[@RoseRequinCrafts]

Thank you!

[@ChuckLeeMBM]

Love me some alternative art!! I do stuff like this all the time and im sure I can find some ideas to snatch on your channel lol. Great work!!!

[@RoseRequinCrafts]

😆 Thank you

[@Mspandaninja88]

I roll my eyes hardd at some of the art here in youtube, and im always a naysayer. But you, i love ur aesthetics in ur arts and i cant believe im finally subscribing to an artsy channel! Even the bug is pretty and i dont like bugs!

[@RoseRequinCrafts]

Ooh, I got scared in that first sentence, lol Thank you!

[@rheeneek]

Love how happy you were making the cherry blossom one.

[@RoseRequinCrafts]

😂 They're so fun!

[@wendiharkness407]

Wonderful video....they are all really good but I love the cherry blossoms and butterflies 🦋 🦋 💕💕💕💕

[@RoseRequinCrafts]

🥰🥰 Thank you so much!

[@theresaclement6730]

they're all great. the butterflies are my favorite.

[@RoseRequinCrafts]

Thank you so much!

[@AsLuckHasIt]

Have you tried chemically removing the foil? Rubbing alcohol or nail polish remover/acetone? A heat gun might be pretty effective too. I like these and the liscense plates a lot!!

[@RoseRequinCrafts]

I tried acetone and it just made the plastic all cloudy. I did not try a heat gun. I might have to try that. Thanks!

[@eugene_jellyqueen162]

I suggest you try investing in a clear blending marker, and only blending analogous colours, or ones that are directly next to each other on the colour wheel. Yellow and orange, for example, and red and purple or blue and purple. And keep the markers from drying out as best you can, as uneven and dry markers are much harder to blend. You can also use a q-tip with a very small amount of rubbing alcohol on it to blend the marker while it is still wet, if you don’t want to buy a blending marker.

[@annmariebarreiroart]

I think you did great with the cel shading! Would love to see more! ❤❤❤

[@RoseRequinCrafts]

Thank you so much! 🥰

[@sparksalot7323]

These look great! The cherry blossoms are my favorite!

[@RoseRequinCrafts]

Thank you!

[@elizabethtruett9413]

I really love your videos. I found you a few months ago and have been binging your content. The cherry blossom tree is my fave, but they all turned out great!

[@RoseRequinCrafts]

Thank you so much for watching! That makes me so happy to know you enjoy it. 😊

[@mostlyghostey]

I gotta say, I’ve been watching your archive of videos and you have really improved a lot over the years! I’m so impressed with how these CDs turned out compared to your older art! Really well done! Also are you a homeroom teacher or a specialty teacher?

[@RoseRequinCrafts]

Thank you so much! I'm actually a preschool teacher (and principal) at a Montessori school. My class is 18 mo - 3 years.

[@mostlyghostey]

Aw!! A very cute age! And congrats on being principal!

[@moi5219]

Neat! What are you gonna do with ‘em?

[@PurpleWillowArts]

I love the cherry blossoms! The butterflies are my favorite I think. I love painting them too. The beetle is cool looking! I wonder if a metallic marker or paint would help the shiny look of the beetle? ❤

[@RoseRequinCrafts]

Yeah, I'm not sure either. I didnt seal any of them in just in case I thought of a way to fix the beetle.

[@PurpleWillowArts]

@@RoseRequinCrafts oh that’s a good idea. If you do you should put it in a video so we can see.

[@ahtijansson9283]

if you put the knife tip into the side and wiggle a tiny bit it'll lift. it works on dvds at least

[@RoseRequinCrafts]

I couldn't find any sort of seam on the music cd's. And I looked really hard! 👀

[@chronischgeheilt]

I wonder if the holders for razor blades for cleaning ceramic hobs would work to get the foil off the CDs?

[@RoseRequinCrafts]

Hmmm, I wonder if it would scratch them up tho

[@NoodleBear]

"Late 90's and early 2000's, these are practically antiques!" Me, born in '91: Ah.... 😂

[@RoseRequinCrafts]

Remember, these were mine when I was in high school...😉

[@cherachapin3826]

That was a wild ride! But I love your donut. It took a while to get there, but I loved watching the process. No one is perfect

[@flyingteacup8369]

💿❤️

[@gilliangale2784]

Have you tried acetone?

[@RoseRequinCrafts]

Yep, that's what I tried that made the cd all cloudy

[@AmazingFalcon276]

Just a bit disappointed you didn't paint the Eiffel 85 disc Blue.

[@RoseRequinCrafts]

🤣

[@TheNaturalGamer1]

Wow if you dont want them ill take them jeez

[@wolfemilk]

that now 2 was worth money, NOOOOOOOOO

[@nieceycruickshank2596]

😭😭🥹 I was born in 98

[@RoseRequinCrafts]

Lol, I was 14 at that time.

[@Buy_YouTube_Views_a135]

This was so well-structured and informative, thank you for the value you provide.

[@RoseRequinCrafts]

Thank you
