WHAT DOES RESIN ART LOOK LIKE YEARS LATER?! the yellowing is REAL...

[@bellabenoitstudios]

I still work with resin and I REALLY appreciate these flashback videos. It shows me what certain things look like when they get old and gives me ideas on how to counteract the vintage effect if it's a piece that wouldn't look good that way. That being said, for flower pieces like this, I think the vintage look makes it even more beautiful! 🥰 And my mother who is obsessed with anything Victorian would agree with me, lol.

[@Oonagh72]

I think the pieces with purple flowers seem clearer because purple cancels yellow. A resin maker said you can add a small drop of purple to the resin to help cancel the yellow when it comes.

[@iwant2bback]

Thank you for the tip

[@kathytarman2302]

It doesn’t bother me that they are turning yellow. It adds to them. I remember most of them. They are part of you and your journey. I love this video. Thank you for sharing this and taking us back to review how things changed.

[@ArtsyMadwoman]

Aww I appreciate you so much Kathy! ❤️

[@janinesimbulan4189]

It adds vintage look actually. I love it. I wonder how it looks like after another years

[@penelopebakken4480]

I really enjoyed seeing your older pieces. I remembered most. I don't do instagram, so I didnt see ones before you tube. I can't tell you how much I enjoy your videos...no matter what they are. You're a breath of fresh air to this old lady. Never stop!!

[@ArtsyMadwoman]

Awww that’s so cool that you remember some of them!! Thank you so much for watching my videos! ❤️❤️❤️

[@ThestuffthatSaralikes]

THANK YOU !!! I follow a bunch of beginner groups and people go and get like whatever is at Michael’s or Walmart and then a few years later, trash. I did the same. I just wanted to DO IT! But now I research HARD any new product I use in resin. Even glitter. It seems the more “hobby/crafter” type resins and fillers aren’t Anti yellowing or UV stable or even anti fade!! But the marine resins and countertops resins are- I you don’t use specific “artist’s resin” for my own ($) reasons. And now I mainly only use products MADE for resin- just to be sure. Even glitter and some glass types. I wish I had known this when I started. yellowing is something I definitely dealt with especially in the beginning pieces I did. I did this BADASS black white silver pour 4!! years ago, and when I moved a month ago into a new place, I noticed how YELLOW it had become. So yeah, DEFINITELY do your research into UV stability- for inks too- ALOT of inks are not UV stable and will fade or just *flippin’ disappears* on you… Anywho- THANK YOU for all the amazing things you’ve taught me over the years

You seem like you've learned alot whats the best anti yellow outdoor resistant epoxy in uour opinion?

[@courtneybright9411]

Honoring where you started and your art and your past is in no way negative, even if you have decided to move to another medium, that doesn’t mean everything about the past was some horrible thing! You did amazing, creative, wonderful work and built a fantastic base of followers that have watched you learn and grow! Thanks for bringing us on the journey too.

[@ashliehens]

Crazy to realize how long I’ve been following your channel from recognizing some of the pieces since I watched the original videos. Really cool to have so many mementos of your channel and art journey.

[@nicolepsy]

This video gave me all the feels🥰. I remember you doing your wedding bouquet and hoping that you weren't expecting it to stay exactly as it came out at first, only to be heartbroken later when it had changed. I really hope you don't regret it. It's still beautiful and always will be, no matter what color changes may happen over time. Bonus- your blooms will forever be protected from being crushed and you also have two keepsakes in one! It's been such a treat to watch your progression over the years and look forward to many more! Thanks for being you 🤗

[@Brookesyoutubestuff]

I am just starting out working with resin and I so appreciate you doing these updates even though you've moved away from it. I hope you'll continue to do them each year because they're valuable information, and it's just nice to look back on those special moments for you!

[@samt523]

I wonder if the ones that stayed super clear were made with a different kind/brand of resin or are kept away from windows? 🤔

[@meganwin942]

I love that you are branching out and trying new things, but I do miss your reaction in the demolding. Have you thought about making soap with your molds?

[@dh7217]

Thank you for showing these lovely pieces and the time frame of origin. I knew at the start resin yellowed over time for multiple reasons I just had no time reference. Thank you so very much!! I am definitely rethinking resin or at least adding a disclaimer with my existing pieces.

Nostalgia! I remember watching the making of all of these, so cool to see what they look like now. You made me pull out an old coaster that I stuck paint skins in, which I loved making and it will live on, but it has started to yellow slightly 2 years later. I feel like these are fun special memories but it's important to evolve and move on to the next thing too. Thanks for sharing!

[@phoenixhernandez9855]

I remember most of these (at least the ones that were on KZbin) and it's great to see how they aged. And im happy to see you kept them.

It's all a part of your journey. Plus if anyone who watches you still works with resin (I do) it's cool to see what happens with them over time. I don't put flowers in my work so it's also cool to see how that goes. 👍

[@stephaniebanks3080]

Interesting to see this video ❤ I started resin 2y ago and yes my pieces have yellowed however I blame the brand I used to use. I now use a "non yellowing" resin..or so it says. Time will tell but since watching this im wondering if I need to add a disclaimer to my products. I'd hate for people to regret their purchase believing it will last. Ps I'm loving seeing your other crafts on Instagram 🙂 I also can't stick to one thing.

[@paigesnell6477]

Do you think you are going have all of your pieces on display when you move into your new place? It would look so cool to have all of your pieces placed around and that randomly show up in backgrounds of your videos and vlogs!

[@ArtsyMadwoman]

I actually do have quite a few pieces “displayed” in the work space I’m in currently but it’s to hard to show so once I’m in the new space/house I will deeeeefinitely be displaying them around! Thank you for watching the vlogs btw! ❤️❤️❤️

[@rewapeck771]

[@PsychGal1980]

Seeing the pieces that you kept gave me visions of a “plate wall” type display. Do you remember those display walls that all of our grandma’s had that were a collection of their commemorative plates? I can see mounting all of these pieces is a collection plate wall style in a dining room or above a bed in a bedroom.

[@Luxinda]

[@kinseyb484]

Can you do a video on what resin pieces with photos/etc look like after a year? Wonder if the yellow would make photos look worse or not..

[@FearlessNimue]

I love these type of videos! It is interesting to see how different items do over time.

[@atlas13388]

I really appreciate you doing this update. It's been an issue and fear of exactly this issue. I resin my paintings tho I think the same problem applies. This really makes rethink using resin at all! How can you sell something when you can't insure the stability, quality or even its COLOR'S!!! 🎨 I sold my first resin peice last year for 320$ I haven't heard anything from the buyers but this was a gift from husband to wife. They are people I respect, who follow me & have referred me. So dramatic I know but I guess I'm a bit shocked? Is there any information about yellowing resin over time? Specifically for resined paintings & photography? Any recommendations for resources? 🙏

[@Evarose26]

I’m in the exact same boat!! It’s nice to hear from another artist, it feels so taboo to talk about. I’m feeling guilty selling pieces I’m not sure if they’ll yellow with time. I wish there was a magic fix

[@atlas13388]

@@Evarose26 Yes exactly! Its an issue of integrity & it does feel a bit hushed. I think it just needs to be disclosed & sold as such which is not archival. I think pricing only need reflect on these factors but if sold honestly may not have to change much? Any thoughts @EvaRose

[@beverlyangry4767]

Thankx for the update. I think that those resin pieces still look good. I hope that you're happy with your decision to step away from using resin. But, I must admit, that I do miss you working with resin. Your pieces always turned out so pretty. I do watch other person's who work with resin, but I just like your personality; you're so perky, and you seemed to always have so much fun. So, I still watch your channel, and I've enjoyed your latest ventures, and I'd never heard of tufting. But after I watched your video, I remember that we used to stretch a piece of burlap over a wood frame, and hook the picture one stroke at a time. It was great fun and quite relaxing. Now it seems like they've modernized it with the machine that you used, and they call it tufting. Go figure. One question though, have you considered trying to make a few videos about working with polymer or air dry clay, making shrinky dink pieces, or you trying your hand at painting? Plus, you two are sooo funny in the kitchen. I think that you have a special way of making any video informative as well as entertaining. Please continue to find different types of crafts and make videos to show your viewers; I really enjoy them. Thank you and your hubby for the entertainment, and especially for all of the laughs.

Exposure to UV light has a huge effect. Dyes will often fade, especially alcohol inks. These are still gorgeous, and will be for many years💞

I have a piece that is 50+ years old it was either my great aunts or my grandmothers & it doesn't look to much worse then your 4 year old piece. Not sure how it was made & it's much smaller mixed medium. But for its age it looks wonderful now that I see a comparison.

[@ellishansen8115]

Great video, were they subjected to uv light. I think resin pieces that are, will yellow faster. If people are trying to prevent that, coloring or tinting your resin will help "hide" the yellowing. I think you're getting questions about resin, because you never said why you stopped working with it. It was left as a mystery, the way you talked about ending resin work.That's totally your business and no one else's. You don't owe anybody anything. I think that's why you're still getting questions though. (If that makes any sense). It's fun watching you dive into other art projects, and builds. You're very creative, and talented.

[@ArtsyMadwoman]

Thank you!! I think you’re definitely right about the uv light! Some of them were in boxes under my bed so those are interesting to see them change color. I appreciate you ❤️❤️❤️

If you feel like it , it would be very interesting to hear why you stopped doing resin. In my case I just got bored with it, but my mojo may return. Also makes me feel better seeing your older works looking so good as I’d hate to think the pieces I’ve sold had totally changed. Great video 😊

[@elsik2332]

Hmmmm is there like a UV-protection product (coat, spray, powder) one could use to minimise the sun damage on clear resin? Because that's what this mostly is, right? Like a sunblock to your art! But to be honest I don't think the yellowing changes the look of these pieces that much - they don't look murky or foggy, you can still see the flowers through the resin really well and everything is tiptop crisp, just slightly faded. I would be okay with that, they're still gorgeous!

[@kimhuff]

I'm confused, why are you not doing resin anymore? I've been gone for about 8 months due to my son becoming paralyzed. But I'm definitely surprised you're not doing resin. What's your main thing now? Your "About" section still talks about resin.

Most of the yellowing with resin happens when you have the piece out in full sun. If you’re storing them in a box or they’re displayed out of direct sunlight they should yellow a lot less!

@Eva Rose @Eva Rose Hello & Yes I agree, I don't resin many paintings but enough to have legitimate concerns. I recently resined a painting I already sold. The resin was art resin and I hadn't opened it but it was over a year old. This bottle actually didn't have the warning about fading ect and I uses it trying to get it done before the buyers left the state. It came out so yellowed, I'm just beyond bummed out 😓 I sanded it far as I could and then used my other resin I was very proud of this peice and have been trying workarounds but it's time I contacted the buyers who have left & Describe the damage, cancel the framer ect. 😭 I know it's ultimately my fault and I learned a hard lesson one of those "of All the paintings to go wrong" argh 😤

It's not because candy is made of sugar, the food coloring they use in them aren't artist grade, they'll fade much much much faster than pigments that have chemicals in them that fight against the processes of color fading from light exposure. It's like making a watercolor painting using food coloring and expecting it to last for decades. And the sugar crystals might yellow overtime, so the bright white candies might end up looking like ivory overtime. That's why people generally avoid using food in art projects.
