Beautiful ❤ amazing

[@denisemmathis2321]

They turned out beautifully. I just feel like something is missing without having a gilded tag or label with the couple's names and the date of the event included with the flowers. 😊

[@loriarena7962]

Wow!! This set is so beautiful! 💖💐

[@marinamakesart]

Thank you so much 🫶

[@lilqueeniescraftingismypassion]

These are so beautiful, what an amazing job you do, would you mind doing a video on witness lines? As I dont see any on yours. Thanks ❤😊

[@LeeAnneLogan-j2y]

How do you keep dust particles from settling in you last layer while you are removing bubbles?

[@catalinap1497]

How do you prep the flowers before you put them in the raisin??

[@vonnie4781]

These are beautiful bookends! Where would you locate the date, names or anything pertaining to the event? Also, what would you use to make the stickers or whatever!? Thank you!

[@marinamakesart]

Thank you so much ❤️ I use a cricut joy (it’s a mini version of the regular cricut) to make my stickers!

[@cf-lm9kh]

Lovely video! Thanks so much. How long do you wait between layer pours?

[@marinamakesart]

Depends, but usually 24-48 hours ❤️

[@sahartarek5945]

How much does this cost when sold? Please reply

[@optimizmanadic4564]

Beautiful 😍 what is that sprey you use when demolding?

[@marinamakesart]

This is just water 🫶

[@KeepsakeResin]

What depth do you recommend with each pour? Also what resin are you using? Deep pour?

[@marinamakesart]

I recommend around 0.3” thickness per layer. That’s what I aim for. I use KSRESIN liquid cast, the link is in the description box below 🙏

[@kimberlyfroggatte4442]

Thank you for the detailed video. I’ve already been doing floral preservation with Shadowbox from special occasions, but would like to branch out in what I can offer. How much resin is needed to complete these bookends?

[@Anastasiaperezramos16]

It’s beautiful and amazing. I have one question, how you conserve de flower colorful? It’s so pretty, I try so many types of conservation and nothing works.😢

[@marinamakesart]

They are dried in silica ❤️

[@marinamakesart]

I have online courses that can teach you how to preserve your flowers like I do ❤️ marinamakesart.com/courses

[@Anastasiaperezramos16]

@@marinamakesart thanks 😊

[@SuperMysavior]

I didn't know that i can use heat gun in molds .i was afraid to damage it

[@marinamakesart]

You can use a heat gun as long as you don’t use it too much and overheat the resin and silicone mold
