Experimenting with Ikea Crushed Glass in Resin
Vložit
- čas přidán 26. 08. 2024
- This video started out as an experiment using crushed glass from Ikea, in the resin. If you are familiar with my previous videos, you will know that I normally like to use acrylic gems (decoration fillers) in the shape of diamonds as a texture in my resin pieces. So for this video, I thought I would try out an alternative. I was also using 'Stormy Seas' Pigment Paste from Colour Obsession for the first time and I found by adding white after the initial pour that I got an interesting effect with the dark blue pigment.
Materials used:
• Masonite Board 40 x 45cm: amzn.to/2WH1mBE
• Resin: Standard UV Resin from U-Resin: bit.ly/Standard...
• Crushed Glass from Ikea - alternative product: amzn.to/2WCPS1R
• Colour Obsession Paste - Stormy Seas
• Colour Obsession Paste - Snow White
• Colour Obsession Metallic Pigment - Teal
• Heat Gun (to zap bubbles)
• D-Ring or Stand for hanging or display: amzn.to/2COQTwd

I jut love how you have made this so easy to do compared to others . Just breathtaking work . You explained everything so good . Thank you so much sweetie.
Thank you for your feedback, it is very much appreciated 💕
That looks like an areal photo of ocean waves breaking on rocks.
I love how some of the glass sunk down. That is what gave it the effect of the waves washing over the rocks.
You went ahead and made that. Beautiful is an understatement.
Thank you, I am delighted you like it 💕

That’s a gorgeous piece love the colours 😍😍
Thank you 💕
This is completely not what I was searching for but damn this is beautiful! I could see panels of these hanging in my house one day it's stunning
ha ha, out of interest, what were you searching for?
@@SueFindlay Comparisons of epoxy glues for structural purposes and experiments involving epoxy fillers. So kinda related I guess? Saw the thumbnail while scrolling through and had to click it :D
excellent, a work of art, creative and ingenious as always .... 👍👍👍❤️
Thank you 💕
Quick and simple?? Hmmm🤔😉
I have found some chip beads in my jewellery stash that I've had for ages. See if they work before ordering crushed glass. With your piece, my favourite part is how the teal looks like it's underneath in places & has a petrol effect? Really like the dark blue with white too. Tyfs.C😊🐾
My pleasure 💕 I am glad you found it interesting.
Beautiful piece hun and thank you for the information. I love colour Obsession
Their colour pigments are fabulous 💕
Loverly idea, I’m going to IKEA right now to buy some crushed glass😊thank you
You’re welcome 💕
I am so thankful I have found your channel. Are you based in the UK if so I am a fella artist. I usually used Oils but have developed a slight addiction to Resin art.
I absolutely love this video they way you have created it as well as the amazing work of art you created.
On the next day off I am going to head into Ikea to check these out glass options. I am not a lover of Geodes myself but I love how you use the glass for texture and depth in you art.
You have inspired me. Cannot wait to binge on all your videos. Beautiful colours ❤️❤️❤️
No, I am in Australia, I moved here 12 years ago from Liverpool.
Sue Findlay I recently moved back fro
WA lived out there 16 years
The Range in the UK. Lovely work Sue.
Thank you Sonia 💕
You can find the resin diamonds on Amazon, lots of them, many different sizes. Love your work. Best wishes, Judy
Thank you 💕
Stunning 🥰
Thank you 💕
Hi Sue
Wonderful video as usual
Thank you
Patricia
My pleasure xx
Great work
Thank you 💕
Glad I clicked and subscribed, it is a lovely artwork.
Thank you 💕
Sue..another source for crushed glass is Starfiredirect.com. This is actually fireplace/firepit glass ..it comes in reflective and non-reflective types and in different sizes..
Thank you for the tip Cathy, I shall take a look 😍
Beautiful
Thank you 💕
beautiful!
Thank you! 💕
gorgeous...
Thank you 💕
This effect is great. Really like the colors. Didn’t know you could use masonite for resin.
Thank you, I use the Masonite when experimenting with colours or other ideas before moving on to bigger boards.
I just saw the acrylic filler at our Dollar Tree
Great, that’s handy to know 😍
Loretta Hanks which dollar tree what state?
Keep trusting yourself....the outcome is splendid! :-)
Thank you 💕
Love your videos, love your work, you use blues a lot makes me wonder if you are from Cornwall, or near the beach area of the UK, can't wait to try all that I am learning watching your videos.
No, I am from Liverpool, although I do love the beach. 😀
I love sparkling things and you seem to use a lot of sparkles and if someone were to want to do stuff like you do can a hairdryer work for removing the bubbles?You're pieces are beautiful :)
Thank you 💕 A hairdryer will work, however, it will also blow your resin round. So if you only want to pop bubbles, the hairdryer can produce unwanted results.
Your work is sooo beautiful!! Do you have a video of the triple hanging that you have in the background? That is stunning!
Thank you, no, I don't. I created that one before I started filming my process. 💕
Love your work amd accent. So cute!!!
Thank you 💕
Simply gorgeous
Thank you 💕
Very nice! I must try.
Thank you, yes give it a go 💕
Thank you for these explications
You're very welcome 💕
Have you used mineral spirits before? What does it usually do? I absolutely love the crushed glass look! Fingers were made first and are the best tool for anything. Love you you worked the resins/colors that way. Thank you for sharing your talents with us!
I have used mineral turpentine before. I use it to make the resin and pigments move. I will be creating a video very soon, showing how I like to use it.
In the UK home bargains do the acrylic gems in different colours there only a pound
Thank you for sharing, I am sure others from the UK will be happy to hear that 😍
Lovely. Lovely. Lovely.
Thank y💕
Well done!
Thank you 💕
This is beautiful...
Thank you 💕
Stttuunnnn-ing!!!!!!!
Thank you 💕
Very Beautiful!
Thank you 💕
Hi Sue,
Your art is fantastic. I’m almost ready to try something. I have several sizes of glass frit I used for for fusing. Do you think it would be fine with the resin prices? Thanks, Marge
Yes, that should be fine. The only thing I would be mindful of is checking that it is not sharp. If you can handle it with your hands, then it will be good to use.
Thank you Sue
Thank you so much, great tutorial, cheers :)
My pleasure 💕
You have a way with this material. I wish I knew how you keep it all on the board without running off the edges, mine just works its way off the pallet and onto the table :) (perhaps it's too warm where I live)
I am going to ask the obvious, is your board level? What brand of resin are you using? Have you tried taping the edge to create a dam? If not, give that a go, remove the tape after 30 mins (if a warm day) - 1 hour (if a cool day).
Sue Findlay thank you for the reply!
My surfaces are always level, but I haven’t succeeded with taping the edges - seems my resin always manages to seep underneath and my project winds up draining onto the table LOL! Various re$ins (including Alumilight). My temps are always in the 90s F so things are very runny, that may be the issue. Either that or I’m simply lacking your magic touch :-)
It's Beautiful.
Thank you 😍
Is there a video for the piece that is hanging on the wall at the beginning of the video? That is a beautiful piece!
Sorry, no. That was created before I started filming my processes. 💕
Hi Sue wonderful work, what is the name of the board you use while doing this please x
This one was on a masonite board. 😁
Thankyou so much for showing that video I was going to ask if you thought it was a good idea because I already have crushed glass and was going to try it? Your art is Beautiful !
I really like working with crushed glass.
What sort of board? Thanks lovely work, thank you for sharing xxx
I used Masonite board for this piece.
Thank you is that hardboard in the uk?
I loved 😍😘Thanks for sharing 😍👍
You're very welcome 💕
Do you think one could use things like scatter crystals (like the ones they sell in Home bargains for weddings) they are acrylic and cut like diamonds
I use them in many of my other resin projects, so they will work fine 💕
How did you do the rising? Did you pour in the paint? I seemed to miss that part. Thank you. This is my first I have seen you and have you on my list and have subscribed.
The colours were added to the resin before pouring. 💕
I love this
Thank you Loretta 😍
Do you have any tutorials on using sand and crushed rocks?
I have a tutorial that is going to be published very soon of me incorporating sand in some resin.
This is gorgeous! So you say you mixed the mineral spirits with the white resin prior to adding it to the piece? If so what ratio do you use?
I just sprayed a small amount into the cup, two quick squirts with the spray bottle.
Beautiful!
Thank you!
Do you mix resin with the paint?
The colours are mixed in with the resin 💕
wow i love pieces on your wall did u make that as well ? and if so do u have a video on it ?
I did make the piece on the wall behind me 💕 Unfortunately, I don't have a video because I made this before I started making the videos
Magnifique !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Où trouves tu ces petits " faux morceaux de verre " stp ??? Je cherche , mais ne trouve pas :-) Merci pour ce magnifique tuto !!!
Si vous regardez la description ci-dessous la vidéo, vous verrez que j'ai ajouté quelques liens vers les produits. Certains d'entre eux peuvent être trouvés sur mon site Web et d'autres sur Amazon.
Wow
Thank you 💕
How would you dry it at its final stage
What do you mean?
Where is the video of ur back on 3 panels piece kindly send me link
That piece was made before I started filming my processes.
Hi Sue,
kann ich auch statt der Heißluftpistole auch einen Föhn benutzen?
Ja, du kannst. Mit einer Heißluftpistole erhalten Sie jedoch mehr Kontrolle. Ein Haartrockner neigt dazu, das Harz zu überfluten.
Hi Sue. What do you spray on the picture before you mix the colors in the picture with your Fingers? Thanks
I had to go and watch it again because I couldn't remember, lol. I put some mineral turpentine in a spray bottle to help break the resin up a bit. This helps to create cells and it doesn’t leave dimples in your resin. This is due to it evaporating before your resin cures. 💕
Many thanks for your response. You do incredible things with resin. Keep it up.
Thank you 💕
hi can u tell me where i can find colour obssesion to buy online pls
The Colour Obsession brand is made here in Australia, however, I know that Artist Till Death stock it in the US.
Very nice
Thank you 💕
عمل رائع
😍👍
How did you make your resin mixture
What do you mean? I buy the resin and mix the two parts together.
Do you have any trouble with the boards warping
I only use these boards as practice boards, so I don't worry if they warp. Although, they haven't yet.
What is mineral spirit please. Is it turps or white spirit? Thank you
It is a mineral turpentine, same as White spirits. It is solvent based and can be used as a paint thinner for oil based paints, or can be used to clean paint brushes etc.
That is really pretty
It is so beautiful ❤️🇩🇰
Thank you 💕
what is the name of the board she is using
This board is called Masonite.
@@SueFindlay THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR REPLYING! I FEEL SO SPECIAL!
I try to reply to everyone.
What brand of resin do you use?
U Resin from Australia
У вас очень красивые глаза
Очень мило с вашей стороны сказать, спасибо
Mineral spirits??
I say that out of habit, I actually mean mineral turpentine or white spirits 💕
Absolutely beautiful"....xx
Thank you 💕
Beautifullllllll💖💖💖💖💖
Thank you 😍
Hobby Lobby has ...diamond fillers....looks the same
Thank you 💕
IKEA UNITED STATES DOES NOT SELL THE CRUSHED GLASS ANY MORE
That's a shame, have you tried your local hardware store in the garden section?
@@SueFindlay no luck yet
They sell it at Michaels and very likely, Hobby Lobby in the US.
U r beautiful lady
Very kind of you, thank you 💕
Sorry Sue the only art of yours that I don't like it, not because of Ikea crash mirror, but the design it's not you at all.
I have created quite a few that are not to everyone’s liking. You have to experiment to get better 😉
Kulört hier in NL niet te krijgen ! Jammer .
