Chris, I think I saw this video, but I didn't comment which is unusual. Maybe I was in a hurry. You know I love your precise and unique style. And those colors, oh my. Stunning. I have always loved the black backgrounds, but these blues really complimented the other colors. That gold, wow. ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️ can't wait to see more videos.

You are a true artist Chris - inventive with a lovely everyday person touch. Thanks so much for sharing your talents so freely. For we more challenged people your explanations are much appreciated.

Yay, another vid! Can't wait to see the group together. I have to say that I just realized something: Most of the Resin Artists I watch tend to just wing it, randomly adding color, torching, tilting, kind of a mad dance, and the end product is beautiful, of course. For me, I need more of a plan, I guess, maybe it's age, but I need to be more deliberate. I've even chastised myself a bit, to be more free or daring, but that's stressful, so not my way. I realized that you take that same approach. You arrive at that lovely, flowing effect, but in a more deliberate fashion. Guess that's why I enjoy your vids so much. Keep them coming, please, when you can. I do admit to preferring longer vids, real time, as I watch on my iPad and can't slow the speed, and like to hear your thoughts as you work. Thanks again! Karen

[@crisscross104]

these colours are just so gorgeous that I couldn't help but do more. the recording was a bit of an afterthought. I do like to have a plan but thats because random doesn't quite work with micas. They travel so far if you mess with them and just blur into a murkey mess. I am much more organised in my new room and even though I won't go high tech I will be doing more.

[@agnesashford2074]

beautiful.

[@crisscross104]

Thank you Agnes

[@pattyaap7345]

another masterpiece!!!

[@crisscross104]

This is one of my favourites

[@yayaglass]

Hi Chris! Just wanted to say that I miss your vids, hope that you're well and still pouring! Please consider making more Resin vids, I really enjoyed your technique and video style, when you talk as you go. Again, hope all is well with you! Karen

[@crisscross104]

Hiya Karen. All is wonderful here. It has been a particularly cold and wet winter here so I have been practicing my techniques and working with new materials. Its a juggle trying to get in pouring time when the house is warm enough. I am discovering so much more about how colourants work in resin and will start recording again soon.

[@yayaglass]

Chris Cross So good to hear from you. I'm in Texas, I forgot it's winter there. I look forward to seeing what you've been up to! Karen 😀

[@joannescott7649]

Love your work... where have you gone?

[@crisscross104]

LOL I am still here. Winter has been really cold and I can't ventilate my workarea properly so I have been doing small things and experimenting with different techniques in both resin and paint. As soon as it warms up I will be back with the windows wide open.

[@joannescott7649]

look forward to your next video ps: same temp here in Cornwall as you are having , and it is summer here!!

[@crisscross104]

+Joanne Scott LOL

[@DiDi-lf3iq]

Another stunning piece of art from you Chris....love the colors. What about peacock colors next.... (Dianne Rose)

[@crisscross104]

Its still so wintery and cold over here that I was thinking of the browns, copper and golds next. You have me thinking though. I love peacock colours. Actually I like all colours LOL

[@caroljohnson-rm1tj]

This is even more elegant. Do you ship all over the world?how do I get hold of you? You have a web site?

[@crisscross104]

LOL thank you for the compliment. I don't sell my pieces. They are just my way of learning and exploring a creative side. My online prescence is limited to a few Facebook groups and these YT videos.

[@valleriakirkwood2038]

Chris how many videos have you made? I want to make sure i see them all!

[@crisscross104]

LOL I think there are 19 or 20 on KZbin.

[@twright3296]

what kind of resin are you using?

[@crisscross104]

the resin is a two part epoxy resin.

[@RichardRocket1]

Are you the same person as Chris Mathers?

[@crisscross104]

Yes Crisscross is a nickname.

[@skiboyscuba]

What board material is this? Also size?

[@crisscross104]

These were done on floor tiles. 330x330mm.

[@vyanen9223]

How/what do u have ur canvas on to make it easier to level? Thxs!

[@crisscross104]

Hubby made me some small leveling boards. They are just basic board with three screw in feet in a tripod formation. I can adjust the feet to get the level set I use a bulleye level to check it is setup properly.

[@vyanen9223]

Chris Cross thank you! !

[@elizabethwallace7108]

Smart hubby!
