    Beautiful coasters! 👍 A tip if you have a big air bubble: drill a hole till you get to the bubble and then fill it with some resin with a syringe 😉

    Currently binge watching your videos! I started out researching melted crayon art and some how stumbled across your channel yesterday and I’m so thankful I did.
    I’m completely new to making things like this but I’m excited to start trying and your videos definitely help out so much! I’m a very detailed person so I need to know what I’m getting myself into before starting and you explain everything very well. Thanks girl! Love your work 💜

  • @quietinspirationcreations3448

    Just a suggestion, you can get heavy clear tablecloth material, pretty cheap at a fabric store, to lay over your desk, and the best part is, one the resin hardens, you can peel it right off and use the tablecloth again! And incidentally, you can artify the dribbles, then if cut up before they are rock hard, they make cool embellishments on mixed media projects!

    I live in an old building to and the uneven flooring has proven to be a challenge! I'm trying to figure out how to find a level surface thats hidden from my cats as well for pieces to cure. a learning process for sure!
    Really love your videos :) cheers!

    I am a huge fan of using freezer wrap paper for my backdrops. It is almost like silicon as it just peels right off. It is awesome because you save all of that drippage. I am a mixed media artist and I prefer the pours on the paper the very best for other projects. So, if you are just trashing them, OH MY GOD, please don't do that. I'll send a SASE if you send to me. I would so love to have them. Great job and I love the videos in progression like you are making. SO very cool.

    Beautiful work, congratulations! I am struggling with put a shine on my jewelry...I will try this tape version. My jewelry - earrings are not straight like your coasters, they drop shape with an angle both side. So after sanding I put nail polish on them to make them shine, which makes it shine, but not even on the surface, and even if it dries leave a slightly sticky feeling :( . I tried to top with resin as well but it was all over and the drops were there, dried - booo :(. For some reason I never thought about tape the bottom down - Yeah I know :-/ ! So I will try this method. Thanks for sharing, and keep up the nice work :D!
