Thanks for watching! Please subscribe!! ALL-dyslexic typo in the video for the pouring medium! It’s 2:1 paint to varnish, not the other way around! My bad!

[@StephanieGagos]

what is the ratio of the untinted base to the varnish 2:1? or 1:1?

[@deeaholman6872]

Karen, every one of these blooms is a beautiful pour!❤️🌟👍💥🥰🌈

[@artmyheart7409]

All beautiful, Karen! My favorite is the last one. It almost looks like a rose in the middle caught in a spiderweb.

[@brenh8786]

I thought about that also, a rose in the center and the one end has a heart!

[@karentaylor8487]

All of the box tiles are beautiful, but I was particularly fond of the special colors of the last one.

[@arty_jan]

Good to hear Chloe is doing well. And very nice tiles to go on those boxes. Like these a lot. And I must favor the red/blue tile, the one you showed first on the line-up. Beautiful. TFS 💖🎈

[@colleengetz867]

Love #3 also...so unique yet gorgeous

[@laurienye7514]

[@Fiona-Art]

All are gorgeous, but the last one... STUNNER.... I searched for those boxes, but if I want to order them, shipping is just too high... Again, I can't get something that I really like. So gues I will have to buy one of yours... Hehe. Hugs from sLOVEnia 🤗 🌹 😘

[@cheriehall9066]

Simply beautiful, love all your work!

[@Carol-wn4en]

[@misslannie73]

Girl! I just went down a rabbit hole of sublimation blanks! Tiles, magnets, etc. Such fun. xxx

[@WaterfallAcrylics]

LOL I know right? I get catalogs now!

[@judithdigisi6450]

Those are gorgeous! My fav is the second one.

[@cynthiawilson8294]

Love them all.

[@constancehudson3455]

Can’t stop thinking about you and your amazing videos. You share so much! Can’t fast forward through your videos or you will miss important info. And you either write what we need to know in your description or you put it in the video (your editing is also amazing!). Thank you! Tada! Tadah!! Tadaaaah!!!

[@nightmary]

Loved the second one right away. The first was nice initially, but after the prominent white within the black really showed up, I loved it, too. The third was wonderful, but the closeup showed the swirling river of colors in the middle better - it's totally gorgeous and whimsical. Thanks for letting us know how to find the boxes - I have no idea how you managed to even track them down, who uses sublimation!? The best part of them, though, is when they come from you.

[@meenakshisood642]

Such a pretty idea! Loved both!

[@StephanieGagos]

omg that last one is mine! Can't wait to see it in person.

[@dawnhayden1861]

I love all of these but I'm like you that last one is amazingly fun and happy looking... lol you rocked it!!!! Love your videos!!! Amazing artist!!💕💕

[@Jillysmom63]

[@kgArtAndMore]

Very nice👍

[@cindydelamare895]

Dinner is getting cold! Yours is much more understanding than mine! Mine just doesn't get how you can just disappear In your art. I get going and time and trouble to away! These files are gorgeous! The boxes are so lovely! They would make great gifts! The last one has a naked lady's Bottom half! Very renassaince. (Sp)

[@zikisbirdbuddies1495]

Love all especially the last one.

[@kathleenroeberg1718]

Beautiful 😍

[@princecaspianofthesea5905]

That last one reminds me of one of my own all time favorite peices, Also done on a box. So striking! Thank you for sharing your research and resources Karen, as you said it's what it's all about 🤙

[@princecaspianofthesea5905]

Do you think you might sell the trinket boxes on your platform?

[@WaterfallAcrylics]

Yep they’re all for sale; just send me a Facebook message to reserve.

[@teesham8013]

These are stunning! Thanks for the box info and I can't wait to see what you make with the skins. I want to use mine for some jewelry

[@ginafeddersen8200]

Perfection Karen! You are so amazing and I love your art! Thank you for all your tips! 😘🤗🥰🌟😊👏🤗🥰🥰🤗😊. If you have, but I doubt it, any tiles that you are not Happy with, once completely dry, you can just soak in warm water for about 30-60 mins and the “skin” will just come off, use a little Kitchen knife for the corner. This only works with this type of pour as the housepaint on the bottom loosens very easily. You have skins that are larger and whole in 1 piece. I am not a skin person either, but I practice on my tiles, so saving these for a rainy day. I did a posting on IG a few months back. Have a lovely weekend and hope your daughter recuperates well from her eye surgery.😘🤗😘🤗

[@WaterfallAcrylics]

Thanks Gina! I know that trick! 👍🏼👍🏼🤣😂😇😁

[@lindareeve4606]

Amazing 💚💙💛

[@badcarrera]

Did you add silicone that we didnt see to obtain all those cells or was that just from the blow dryer? Amazing!!

[@WaterfallAcrylics]

No silicone used.

[@cathyborror1938]

Was wondering what you use to glue them in the box I’m thinking resin or am I wrong I love all your work

[@WaterfallAcrylics]

Cathy Borror E6000 glue. I got it at Michaels.

[@sandrabarrett-hoomani4822]

Speaking of a commercial ... Turn around, pick up any random kitchen object, and do your own commercial! lol I would love to see what you came up with ... I know it would be hilarious!

[@zadiebarron7422]

👍💖beautiful💖from ky.

[@shelllara]

I love Ozark! Yep. I agree about Jason Bateman. He’s also such an excellent actor!

[@pennyweiler8708]

We love the crazy middle!!

[@SaskiaSmitArt]

Love them all😍

[@doloresvandenberg1643]

it is so funny, I live in Utrecht in the Netherlands and I had never heard about a color called Utrecht. Utrecht jellow green hihihihi. I love you by the way, I love your art and I enjoy watching your videos. Have a very nice day. See you next time.👍💕

[@princecaspianofthesea5905]

Hi Delores, do you know if the Utrecht brand originate there? I would assume so 🤔 just curious 🤙

[@Dianemichaels14599]

Crazy middle 👍

[@constancehudson3455]

Thanks to you I knew how to search for boxes. Sublimation boxes! I found a great deal on small lined boxes that are selected seconds with slight imperfections. They arrive today so I will soon know if I made a good decision. Please tell us how you adhere the tile to the box. I assume you use a special glue. Many thanks.

[@WaterfallAcrylics]

Awesome! Yes I use E6000 glue-Home Depot or Michaels.

[@sharonmansfield9214]

Thank you for sharing your sublimation boxes. I always wondered where to buy them. Could you do some tiles that are not the bloom technique so we can see how those would look? A lot of us do not do the blooms, too many materials to buy, too expensive and too much trouble! Boy, I love your blooms. These tiles turned out so cool, great colors. 👍🎨👏❤️

[@WaterfallAcrylics]

I will try!

[@kimberlyaltman5535]

These are really beautiful tiles, Karen! Thanks for making this video! I have a question for you: for how many days can the Cell Activator be stored before it loses its cell activation? Thanks!

[@WaterfallAcrylics]

Couple of weeks if not longer. Just give it a dollop of Floetrol and mix well.

[@kimberlyaltman5535]

@@WaterfallAcrylics Really! That's great news! I thought it would only be good for one or two days. Are you saying that after I've already mixed up the CA and it's been a few days, I should just add a bit more Floetrol to freshen it up or to thin it a bit? Thanks so much, Karen!

[@beramberh.4944]

I loooove these they're so beautiful!! I saw several Julie from Pouring Your Heart Out had done that were stunning as well!! 😍 I have never tried this technique, not ready to just yet. Have only been pouring for about 3-4 months and will be moving in 4-5 months so I figure it's bet to wait, practice more and when ready to give this a go definitely take the course first!! Your advice there that I value! 😊 Thank you for sharing these!!

[@dianegreen9005]

Duh I just realized why the two different house paints. The Glidden is the pillow and the other is for the pouring medium. I didn’t notice any Aussie floetrol though, does the pouring medium work without it or is the floetrol for the cell activator?

[@WaterfallAcrylics]

It’s only for the cell activator-no Floetrol in either house paint.

[@constancehudson3455]

If you told us, I missed it. Do you resin the tiles or use a type of varnish after the paint is dry? My tiles seem snug and I am afraid that a coat of resin might make them too thick and then impossible to fit into the cutout on top of the box. Your opinion, please. Thank you.

[@WaterfallAcrylics]

Hi! Yes I resin them with KSResin. I have the same problem with the tiles being snug and have to use my dremel on all sides to shave them down a tiny bit. I use E6000 glue to adhere.

[@constancehudson3455]

Thank you for replying. Is there a specific reason you use KSResin and not the a Pro-Marine Resin that you use in your “How to Resin” Video? Do you shave the tiles down before you resin or after? That is probably a dumb question but I am a dummy! Thank you.

[@WaterfallAcrylics]

I switched to KSRevin because it has UV inhibitors and it’s cheaper. Please it’s lovely to work with. Shave after resin.

[@belindaripper8400]

which pouring medium do you use most? golden,s 0r the deep base and polycrylic

[@WaterfallAcrylics]

I switch back and forth but am currently using the deep base/poly combo just to see what can be done with it!
