As she is explaining the gel and colors, I’m practically yelling at the screen to hurry up because she just said she has to move really fast. I get so nervous when people say move quickly.😂😂😂 Needless to say, this looks so fun. I love creating stuff. Anything really, even enjoy building furniture. I create my own jewelry and I have a degree in visual communication.

Love your pours! When I was a kid, a long long long time ago, we moved into a house that had a whole bunch of paint in the barn. One day I was bored so I decided to paint my old rusty roller skate box with these paints. I basically did what you guys did. I added layers and controlled splatters of paint on the box & it turned out to be the coolest psychedelic skate box on the planet... at least my local skate rink's planet. 😉 Everybody knew who that box belonged to. So much fun playing with paints like these. Thanks for sharing your how-tos.

This was a lot of fun to watch. Loved both the vases and the wall art piece. The soft colors in particular looked ethereal - finishing it off with gold and an artsy gloss made it look professional. Would indeed make a lovely lamp base. Now I'm tempted to try just for fun.

[@RK3Designs]

Thank you so much!

[@starrbowie8649]

Please mask up ot take other super-safe precautions when using spray paints with fluids like acrylics. The microscopic plastic particles are not biodegradable--they will last virtually forever, and so over time regular spraying sessions will create a film of plastic coating on your lungs that will constrain your breathing. Fine artists 50 years ago didn't know of the dangers of frequent unprotected exposure, and some wound up by middle age having to carrying around portable iron lungs. Please be careful, and mind children and pets in the environment of your art work space!

[@starrbowie8649]

I don't think that any acrylic or ither plastic-based paint was sprayed in this video, just some alcohol, but the general caution for crafters is valid!l

[@BarbaraEMarshallCampbell]

The acrylic pour is gorgeous. Just outstanding!

Holy cow they turned out so beautiful and looks like a very expensive work of art! That was so enjoyable to watch! Thank you! That board looks AMAZING and the board looks like roaring ocean on a boulder beach head. So beautiful!

[@christyvigil5691]

Looks like a very expensive piece of art...it IS an expensive vase after you add it up...they use a lot of paint and resin that stuff is expensive per color containers

[@rendaowe]

@@christyvigil5691 , you have a very solid point here. Between the cost of the medium that’s used along with the talent of the artist, it has now become a one of a kind piece of art. I think that you have made an excellent point on how people should look at this type of ART! ❤️👍🏼

[@janethowe8812]

This was so interesting and fun. I've seen many acrylic pour demos on canvas. I never knew it could be done on anything else. These vases are beautiful! I would probably attempt the acrylic pour. Just because the method and paint seems so much easier to work with for a beginner. But both methods are amazing. Great video.

[@BarbaraEMarshallCampbell]

I like the resin vase much better after it set and softened. Beautiful! and loved both the resin pour tray and felt the acrylic board was outstanding.

[@susanpeterson9558]

Beautifully done, I'd love to see a mid-century modern take on this. 😊❤

This is mezmerizingly beautiful. There was a lady next to me just last week during my pedicure appointment that was talking about something she's into and I think this is what she does. How funny; I went from never hearing about this to hearing about it twice within 10 days LOL 🤣😇 The beauty of these vases touched me to my core.

[@karenguglielmo254]

I do pouring over vases and after all the paint drips onto the plate I use a large paintbrush to scoop up the paint and put it into a cup. I then might add another color to pour over another vase so it's 'recycled' paint. I stopped pouring on canvases because of the waste. I can safely say I haven't wasted more than 1/4 paint in 6 months. The waste was always a concern for me too.
