About my channel: Hey guys! I'm Heather, the crazy lady behind ArtsyMadwoman! I'm a resin artist & I preserve flowers in resin along with creating & testing out all kinds of fun crafty thangs! I hope you subscribe & stick around for the mad things we're going to do ;D

[@lindacondray7918]

A few hacks I’ve discovered with dried flowers in resin. 1) You can “paint” color back into dried flowers with alcohol ink. Let it dry very thoroughly then seal with spray sealant before using in resin. 1b) I buy white poinsettias and after they’re silica dried, I “paint” them red. (I can’t help thinking of the Queen of Hearts when I do this.) Red poinsettias turn almost purple when dried. This gives me more consistent and vibrant red flowers in the resin. I also dry white orchids and then paint them how I want them to look for my piece. 2) Some flowers, like dogwoods & hibiscus, can go translucent when put in resin. Spraying them (front and back) with sealant (and let dry completely) before putting them in resin helps them stay opaque. Treat thin, fragile flowers almost like you would paper in resin (seal it first). I love your videos and your ideas! Your demo is great for if you can’t get a wedding bouquet immediately into silica. I’ve found it’s awkward trying to get a bride’s flowers properly drying for best preservation immediately (they’re too focused on the day and busy after to think of the flowers much.) Letting them, hang dry is a good alternative and easier to arrange.

[@mookzmom]

Great tips! Thanks!

[@juancarlopensotes7770]

thanks for the great tips! also you can use uv resin for small pieces to completely seal it plus it makes the resin casting easier

[@francescalace3254]

Yes! I've airbrushed dried flowers before for shadow boxes

[@laurenmuldoon3685]

Really appreciate your comment! Do you have a sealant you suggest? Does a sealant make the petals any more or less fragile? I have some orchids I know are prone to becoming translucent that I’d love to test! In terms of coloring flowers, is there a brand or type of paint/pigment etc. you should use in resin? I’ve heard of some pigments and paints slowly coming off and “staining” the resin over time. Thank you again!

[@melj4581]

plese could you tell me what sort of sealant you use :)

[@kaccreatedit]

I liked the extra crete coming out of it, made it seem like the sand was spilling out

[@16asiabasia]

Same! Especially since she laid it on that side it would have been a dope effect but it looks amazing either way

[@ThisIsJessPaul]

Not only did this video produce a beautiful art piece, but Heather gave a gift to every woman who has a special event bouquet that they just couldn't bring themselves to trash. Thank you, AMW 🙏

[@MissElite07]

the extra creek gives the piece motion, as if the water (resin) was rising to the shore line cover the flowers. Beautiful job!

[@janwhitby4865]

Stunning Heather. Your creations make my heart sing xx

[@deniselovelace3075]

So beautiful!!!! I love that the old flowers get to show their beauty. They do tell a story. I just love it when you work with resin.

[@hayleymariemills]

It would've looked really cool to leave the extra Crete & add a few small crystals & flowers on it. It would have looked like the "garden" was pouring out & even more 3D.

[@TheSwauzz]

I was so sad when she cut it off. ):

[@christines2451]

You did such an amazing job on this piece. I love how it turned out. It is so pretty.

[@carissaanicholas]

I love this piece so much! Probably my favorite thing you’ve made! 🤩🤩 I’m obsessed with flowers of all varieties

[@sunbeatrice2052]

I love this piece! The textures and beautiful flowers are beautiful.

[@morgieposie]

I SO appreciate this video! This is exactly my vibe too. Perfect color scheme and all. Thanks for sharing this with all of us! 🤍

[@kimberlystegner4207]

I now know what I'm going to be doing with my wedding bouquet! This piece is absolutely gorgeous!

[@deiram12]

This piece is everything! It’s perfection!

[@GinaBsStudio]

Somehow you made it look at beautiful as the silica ones. And the “story” looks even more. LOVE!!

[@chymoreno7166]

[@kimwinston]

I am SO glad you did this! I am looking to do exactly this with a very special, improperly dried, bouquet.

[@MrsRONDA10]

Wow! Absolutely beautiful 🥰

[@tracyjohnson2992]

This is a stunning piece and it is one of my favourite piece you have done to date. I don't even think stunning is a strong enough word to use it needs more than stunning, Magnificent is more of a word to use. enough said way to go

[@Kimmie978]

This is so gorgeous!

[@MapleNutDesigns]

Absolutely Gorgeous!!! I need to get that mold and do this with seashells and flowers that my boyfriend has picked and given me. Thank you for sharing your talent with us!!!

[@MeeksMind28]

Found you because I was googling for a tutorial. This piece is beautiful but honestly it's your personality and energy for me! Subscribed!

[@christineatrapp]

Another beautiful piece. Good job

[@Oonagh72]

I really like the excess crete. It look like a natural formation almost geode like.

[@rubbieclark8001]

It is beautiful! 🌹🦋

[@sarahgirl1977]

You are so awesome I love your creativity I can’t stop watching your videos!

[@nature2964]

Stunning!

[@anneslinger2189]

I've been going through a tough time lately, and I needed a pick-me-up. Your joyfulness and enthusiasm provided that for me. Thank you. P.S. Thanks to watching your channel, two years ago I made some resin ornaments containing pics of my brother's wedding. They were not as good as I wanted them to be, but not bad for a first try.

[@penelopebakken4480]

Heather!!!! You've outdone yourself!!! Absolutely beautiful!!!! Vintage is me!!!

[@debbieschoop-wilson3612]

That is so f-ing cool. I love the wispies and the glitter. Can't wait to try this!!

[@queennefratiti69]

It's glorious!!!!!

[@mariapapastefanougarrison4176]

You are always inspiring !!

[@bobbiemabe7899]

Just beautiful. 😊😊

[@ownsacat]

[@kimtreneman-pape6107]

I love the music you choose. I love the purple-burgundy flowers.

[@Julia_With_An_A]

Omg, Heather for the win! This is absolutely gorgeous. So my vibe, so pretty, so precious. How do you ever let pieces like this go when you sell them. My house would be filled with bit I couldn't hand over to buyers lol.

[@sylwianilsson7618]

Beautiful work.

[@suegore5929]

It is gorgeous!

[@ItsMeTrish]

Woah that’s G😍RGEOUS!!! Thank you!

[@GwenythH]

You never disappoint! 💖

[@yesterdaystoday1079]

That’s amazing 😻

[@caseyg58]

Gorgeous!

[@FreyaWarr]

The painters blue tape #2093 is amazing! I’ve been using it for years and it’s great. I gave the frog tape a shot and it’s not quite as sticky as the 2093. Lol I’m sure nobody cares but there’s my 2 cents.

[@shaunacorrigan9372]

This turned out so pretty! I do wish some of those purple and gold swirlies had survived in the white layer, but it still looks really good. I have a rose and some eucalyptus that some of my former employees got me for my 40th birthday that ended up drying naturally (read: I forgot to add water to the vase😅) and seeing this has decided me on putting them in resin to save them

[@mandicoleman7433]

Now that is magnificent 😍😍😍😍

[@anniereed1865]

Beautiful. I like this one the best also.

[@Ronnie.13]

Beautiful!!

[@donnaregehr2530]

Ooooo I love this video! You rock!! I'm going to do this with my mom's 87th birthday flowers!!

[@melaber77]

My dad and stepmom are getting married this month, and I hope I can do something similar for them. Thank you so much for the inspiration and great ideas!

[@Mitchell_is_smart._You2bs_dumb]

I have silica gel! I just got it yesterday! Thanks for being awesome, your vids are great and you are the best

[@FreyaWarr]

Those bubbles are very cute! I’m glad you left them! Edit…sad the bubbles didn’t survive….that was a roller coaster lol

[@jmakit]

i love the vintageieness of that peice

[@carmenfernandez789]

Absolute beautiful 🤩 👍🙌🙏

[@sundhaftgaming]

Gotta love that slo-mo ASMR sanding! LOL Turned out amazing though! Gorgeous!

[@alpapatel4229]

So pretty.♥️

[@trexapex00]

this makes me regret not keeping my wedding bouquet, this is such a cute idea to preserve wedding flowers!

[@Elishajorden]

Love your channel girl ❤

[@apfau04bronco]

I love it!

[@christinacarlin2278]
