How to create a 3D resin shape without using a mould
Vložit
- čas přidán 7. 10. 2019
- For this project, I wanted to create a free-standing resin sculpture entirely made from Acrylic Diamonds and Resin. I didn't use any kind of mould for either the crescent shape or for the base.
First, I drew the shape out on my computer and printed it on to an A3 sheet. You will see in the video that I also marked out where the metal rod was going to be placed. I then placed the print out inside a cellophane bag, however, you can use any clear plastic to cover the design. Don't worry if you are not able to use a computer to create your design, you can simply draw it out on some paper or card and then cover it in plastic.
Mixing a small amount of tinted resin with your Acrylic Diamonds or Crushed Glass, using a spoon, add the mixture to your design. Build up quite a generous layer of the mixture to the plastic, you want to make sure that it is not going to flimsy and snap when handled. Then let it cure overnight.
Next, turn it over and repeat the process, making sure you once again apply a generous amount of gems/stones to the backside. Again, leave it to cure overnight.
Now comes the tricky part, you will now need to prop your design upright in order to create the base. Again using a generous amount of gems stones mixture, apply it around the base, making sure you have plenty to prevent your piece from toppling over. Then leave it to cure overnight.
*Tip; use at least the same amount of gems in the base as you do the top, that way it is not top-heavy.

Thank you 💕
Really neat
Glad you think so!
Sue you are fearless in your discoveries. I love that! I sometimes tend to hold back thinking about the cost of the resin or stones, etc., if it doesn't turn out the way I imagine. But the pieces can be updated to reuse "mistakes". Being bold and inventive has high rewards in the end. Love your videos. Thank you!
Thank you 💕 I try not to think of the cost because I know that someone will love a piece, even if it takes a while, I can then make the money back, plus extra for more supplies.
Sue you are a treasure. I consider you the best of mentors. I learn so much from you and I love this piece! How creative! So beautiful!
Thank you 💕
I agree with Heather! You made me who I am today! I’m even selling molds now! I’m don’t know how thst happened
I’m still trying to figure out the mistake?🤔 the stool?
Did you get my message
How many crystals and what size and kindness do you need to make a lamp like yours ? You will still be here on CZcams right?
Wow that was so pretty what an amazing job you did you are one talented lady I love your work❤️❤️

You should! 💕
Thank you so much Sue. Due to your amazing video, I was able to do this little gem for my grand daughter for her birthday. Her favorite color is purple. Used crush glass and added glow in the the dark pigment powder. She absolutely loves it.
Darn, can't post pics.
Fabulous, thank you for sharing how your variation came along and that your grand daughter loved it 💕
Fantastic! Love that you shared creating this sans mold or silicone. My little mind is spinning ... :-)
My pleasure 💕 That's the plan, to get you thinking of new ideas :-)

Sue , I watched this yesterday , so soyI didn’t leave comments, someone came in and I got side tracked ! This is just a unique piece I love it !!! You never stop do you ??? But I really enjoy seeing all your beautiful pieces!!! Thanks Lisa
I am creating most days, although, not everything is filmed. I do have a whole load of video of footage that I haven't uploaded yet. I am thinking of just putting them out as time-lapse videos.
So very beautiful! I love how the color works with the clear diamonds. Some look blue while other have that beautiful aqua blue tint. I've just started working with resins, I really enjoy trying to create things with the resin....☺☺👍👍🧚🏼♀️
Thank you 💕 I also love how the tint of blue works with these gems.
Que lindo.🥰🥰, Sue suas peças são sempre lindas . Adoro todos os seus trabalhos. Muito obrigada.
Obrigado 💕

So so helpful
Glad you find it to be helpful 😍
I love this ...I want it sooooo bad
LOL, thank you 💕
You are amazing Sue, I love the fact that you share everything, even the stool issue, I did chuckle with you at that one, I think I would have done similar or worse!!! If I lived in Perth I would have come to these art shows to see your work in person. Well done and congratulations at being invited to be with other artists, they are paying you a great compliment.
Thank you 💕 the stools did make me laugh.
Lol yes this is definitely a blunder I would do as well 😁
@@The_Salty_Siren I love it when people are so honest about being human, and then being able to chuckle at themselves!!! Humour is so important in life, I love it.
I guess it's quite randomly asking but do anyone know a good place to stream newly released series online ?
@Omari Kobe Try flixzone. Just search on google for it =)
Pretty cool..
Thank you 💕
@10:38 it looks like there’s a dragon emerging from the crystals. absolutely beautiful love the color.
I am always amazed at the different things people see 💕
Thank you Sue
