[@pulsetkr45]

If people have nothing better to do than dissect a persons little sayings then I really do need to up my prayers for this world!!! Claire you are a gem…. Thank you for doing these teaching videos and we pay you nothing for your hard work….so I thank you so much!!!….

[@petragerbracht]

I am absolutely agreeing. I never even thought that someone complain about these sayings which are common terms. Yes Claire, keep being how you are ❤️

[@ClairesCraftyCorner]

thank you so much xxx I agree I am so grateful for everyone's support xx

[@ClairesCraftyCorner]

@@petragerbracht thank yoooo Petra xxx

[@dalemaclaren7576]

Don't ever change for someone. You are absolutely perfect the way you are. ❤️ Look at your subscribers 😍 Honey you have more support around you than the Big Ben clock !! We the people absolutely 💯 love you to bits ❤️ 💕 💗

[@LittleKikuyu]

I feel the few and far between people unnecessarily looking for „faults“ are ever so slightly jelly when someone else has success and fun 🙈

[@gilabalsam9511]

I love when you say “stuff it in “ cuz to me it means you can do no wrong and just let your creative juices flow! That’s what art is all about!!😀

[@ClairesCraftyCorner]

thank yooo and yesss that is exactly how I want people to see it xxx we can all do it all ... it all works xxx

[@isabellrc]

😂 EXACTLY. It’s down2earth & a bit funny. This is part of why I ❤ Claire!

[@user-io4jn6xp4e]

Don't change how you express yourself because of one small minded person. Shove it all in hun.. that's how true art is made,by expressing yourself how you want x

[@ClairesCraftyCorner]

thank you so much xxx I appreciate that xx

[@Drwendydearborne]

Claire, you don't have to explain yourself and your type of artistry to anyone. Thank you for taking the time to share your brand of resin magic!

[@cherylabrams7590]

Please don't stop being you that is the main reason I watch your Chanel I love your style and your easy going aditud Those are incredible and I love the way you can see through the leaves Material to the flowers behind ❤God-bless

[@Leena79]

I love these. The white dried flowers pulled it all together, and made these look like a frost-bitten autumn morning. Oh, and I love your shove-it-in projects. I have a bit of chaos going on in my resin projects, and in many of my other art projects, too. It doesn't mean I don't plan things out, but I go into an almost meditative state while making art, and sometimes the piece leads me to some place I wasn't exactly planning to go to, but it's still a beautiful place to end in. Sometimes a dash of controlled chaos is needed.

[@mikeandbeverleygodfrey1907]

Obviously the universe wanted it there LOL.❤

[@donnadlb1]

Let me tell you Claire, never ever stop saying ,"chuck it all in" . Ive never said that in my life and I'm 55 and live in Pennsylvania USA and I found myself telling my husband tonight to just "chuck it all in " the lasagna . I love when you say that and your "chuck it all in" pieces are pure inspiration.

[@ClairesCraftyCorner]

Ohhhhhh that is so amazing 😍😍😍😍 thankyoooooooo ❤️❤️❤️❤️

[@sherrimartin1543]

Whoever said that isn't a true artist. TRUE artist let it flow and it is a unique one of a kind item. I Love your videos.

[@patriciaharkin1571]

Crikey mack! Claire don't even think you have to explain your process to people who don't understand or appreciate your artistic talent, jeeze, it rattles my cage when I hear of these things. . . OK blood pressure back to "normal".😊😊 These are gorgeous Claire - as always, you've excelled!

[@ClairesCraftyCorner]

thank you so much Patricia xxx

[@sallyannmartin2748]

Hi Claire I love all your videos and you should never have to explain what you say or do to anyone because you are amazing. Thank you so much xxx

[@ClairesCraftyCorner]

thanks so much Sally xxx I massively appreciate that xx

[@SylverFlyer]

Claire, don't let peoples' negative comments get you down. Some people are just haters and aren't happy with anything other people say or do. You do fantastic videos and your projects come out beautiful. Keep on chucking your stuff in if it's going to get the results you want! Happy crafting!

[@kangel7906]

Absolutely stunning. I love the "shove it all in". People need to scroll on by if they dont like something. Don't change anything Claire, don't change your ways or your descriptions, not even for nit picky people that should think before they comment. As always a pleasure to warch

[@tonyatedder1916]

Your Amazing ❤! Always remember that! When someone decides to address your words, then, they are not here to learn or watch. You keep being amazing! All your followers support You!

Please don't let it get to you 🙏🏻 if that's how they feel then that's fine, but don't let it stop you from being your amazing self! 💖💖💖

[@rebeccamoerno8356]

Claire, you do you! Whatever makes you happy, and if that means shove it in, then go for it... They don't have to watch. Love your shoveing in channel.

Most of us understand what you’re saying, it’s sad when some people take things to heart. Love your work.

[@resinartists]

This coaster mould was amazing and you made so beautiful coasters with them 😍, Ms Claire the way your voice is so beautiful (You too are 😍),your creations too are amazing 👏 ❤️ 💖 💜💜💜

[@ClairesCraftyCorner]

thank yoooo so much xxxx

[@michelledallaway1860]

I love that use phrases like that, it makes me feel like everything doesn’t have to be perfect and precise, especially as a beginner. Don’t ever change ❤ xx

[@callyross7873]

meticulous planning is "engineering", going-with-the-flow (of creativity) is "art"! I say, go with the flow!! you do beautiful art, girl!

[@BBGIRLAH]

I absolutely love your “Chuck it all in”….just please keep being you ♥️

[@lottylouart]

Well this colour combo turned out super fancy…love it! You be you Claire, we all love your enthusiasm and creativity. If some folks don’t get it, well they are missing out. Don’t second guess yourself…..you’re doing just fine!

[@ClairesCraftyCorner]

thank yoooo so much Lotty xxxx

[@dalesden18]

I absolutely LOVE your channel!! You teach so well that even a super beginner like me understands! People are not being made to watch so they need to go elsewhere! 🥰❤️

[@michellehancock608]

Claire I love the fact that you work free and go with the flow and do not change your language either I love the way you work and love watching your tutorials - it shows how much confidence you have in your fantastic work! Do not change for no one - they don’t know what they are talking about and need to get a life! ❤

[@melaniehenshaw8696]

Craft is as you say a process. As you were cutting up the flowers I thought to myself Claire what are you doing hun. Then the green and I threw my hands in the air shaking my head. Then at the de mild I gasped an chastised myself TRUST THE PROCESS. Absolutely stunning I too am obsessed. ❤

[@JennifersJemz]

Claire, I am so grateful for what you bring to us all - for $0!!!! I love that you give us the inspiration and the instruction, and the "permission" (so to speak) and the bravery to both plan a project and to chuck it all in!! I can't believe someone has nothing better to do than to try to gate keep your wording of your methods. I say they need to grow up. I have been a maker/crafter for a long time, and we crafters all know that chucking it all in is just a term you use for a not completely planned out ahead of time project. Why are they here if they don't even understand the simplest of terms, or at least have the manners not to insult someone who gives to us all expecting nothing in return. So, I hope you didn't let that bother you too much, or ruin even 2 minutes of your day, because WE ALL LOVE YOUR CHANNEL AND WHAT YOU DO!!! THANK YOU, & HAPPY CREATING!!!!!!!!! P.S. - Go hug your baby. It cures almost anything! 🐕🐶🐕🐶🐕

[@ClairesCraftyCorner]

Thankyoooo so much xx such an amazing comment I appreciate youl ❤️❤️❤️❤️

[@emilymoncada82]

I had an art teacher in elementary school, who told me in art there is no mess ups. There are only changes to get where you want to go. So it doesn’t matter if you have a vision and it turns out different. It’s still beautiful! So shove it in there or whatever you need to do 😊

[@karenlloyd16]

I love the "shove it all in " term. It's very obvious how you have planned what you want the end result to be but you have fun along the way. That's why I love your videos and the funny way you describe some technical terms. This is the supposed to be fun. Don't ever change Claire. ❤

[@ClairesCraftyCorner]

Thank yoooooo Karen ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

[@Kathy-Carr]

It is your channel, you narrate and speak as you feel. These turned out so cute! The color reminded me of caramel….yum! Thank you! 🍁💐

[@marylett2224]

Definitely do not let one person get under your skin. You are a wonderful creative individual. Never change to please anyone ❤🎉

[@jostulove]

Absolutely beautiful Claire ❤ I’ve only been watching you for several months & all I can say, being a crafter myself, we all have our way of expressing our words, they might not be the words we want to come out of our mouths, but people who know you & who have been watching you know exactly what you mean. Like you said in this video, “shuffling it in” 😂 Your viewers know you mean trying to add as much as possible in the time you have with the resin (& talking to yourself with your phone/video 😂) Ignore the bad comments Claire, everybody loves what you do, check your subs numbers ❤ You don’t get that amount easy. Thank you for sharing, loved this tutorial 😍 x

[@TheKnackeredCrafter]

It's how we talk, don't worry about it....people don't half find fault nowadays where there's none to be found.....does my head in. You do you ok keep being who you are 😊

[@lisademauro5618]

Ok Claire those are amazing! And I can't wait for the forest because I love forest theme!! Eeeek!! Maybe some brown twine around the handle of the unfortunate crack? With a little spoon hanging from it!! ❤

[@susannasalonpaa2173]

I love the way you create you art ❤ Don't listen people, who don't understand ❤

[@Quill._]

Hey Claire, I love watching your channel because you’re not striving for perfection you’re happy to play around and see what happens. Keep on being you. Loving your Autumn craft adventures. Those creamy dried flowers are gorgeous with everything!

[@debranewbigging641]

They turned out amazing Claire. You have a very creative mind. Continue being you.😊❤

[@lynwoods4375]

These are beautiful, I love the fluffy spiky things they are so beautiful and weird. I love your chuck it all in videos, understanding the freedom of working off plan, going with the flow. Very calming to do. Keep being you!!

[@lisademauro5618]

Claire i love your freeing art and trusting the process!! I did not even finish your video yet but felt compelled to say...your true fans (pick me!!) Love your chuck it all in as well as your trying new things WITH US!! And whatever happens we learn together and I love that! Your a true and lovely person and artist❤love from Florida USA!

[@elizabethwright7917]

These are so creative and truly beautiful. I am glad to see when you make an error (cracked handle) that you don't shy away from it. Makes us less practiced artists feel like we are on a good path. Thank you!

I am in love Claire, so beautiful, I love autumn colours. We can't please the whole world and if people are going to pick one thing out of all the good you do to pick on, well I say it is their problem not yours. Don't let people get to you, continue to express yourself just as you and don't change. xo much love and light from Sydney Australia ♥I have an idea, please make more coffee cups with the words "just shuv it in" 😂😂😂😘

Very pretty indeed. ❤ the leaves and the florals. If you ever get across the pond, stop here. I have the most beautiful trees in autumn with 1700 acres of woods behind me. It’s like being in a fairyland every Fall. Then after I swear I’m in Narnia as it snows and is very cold and icy.

[@dianescraftycreations]

Best results I’ve seen using the coffee cup mold!

[@kimclayton5814]

LOVE THESE!!!

[@Enjoythepour]

These are absolutely gorgeous!!❤

[@hollylowery26]

I have been wanting this mold. I was waiting to see someone use it first. As for the negative comment you received, it could be as simple as the translation of words in different regions of the world. I can't think of a different example right now but I have noticed this happen before. 🤔 People are so rude with comments online.🙄 Most wouldn't ever say these things if you were standing face to face. I love your videos. You have taught me so much.

[@kathrynseaman6482]

Lovely cups of autumn! I love the expression "shove it all in". I know you have a plan in mind so someone needs a chill pill! Thank you for inspiring us crafters. I just started with UV resin and have done the shove it all in style, it's fun and freeing too.
