233 - Resin Sculpture x 2 - Let there be light's - My Biggest Sculpture so far - Real Struggles SNAP

Hello Sean from Vivid Days, we are going to try sculpting today and this is my new box, it is huge so it swallows a four foot canvas, so I am going to try my largest

resin

sculpture

, yes, and this will be maybe of four feet. Lead or four-piece

sculpture

. Now they ask me a lot. I've put my links in my description, but this is basically glitter iridescent paper. It comes from a store in the UK called Paperchase. I order it through Amazon, release the mold and you. I can use it over and over again like that, so I imagine having a

real

ly big piece, a little bit smaller interesting one, two little features that I'm going to attach.

I've mixed up 800 ml of Mastercast

resin

that I just put in now, um and letting the bubbles rise, I added my super glossy white because that's the secret formula. I'm going to be working with two different colors, so I have my one just for you, which is the open water blue and then there will be the cobalt. blue which is metallic and turquoise and they are both resin eight and then I'm going to use the can of resin which is from Elchem, it's beautiful and I also have some silver leaves that come from Amazon. I get a lot. of leaves, it is quite economical if you buy it like this and then these are the scatters, they are called transparent wedding scatters or if you put crystals or gems, table scatters will appear, you will get many different sizes, these are the ones I prefer to each their own , but I'm going to put on the mask now and follow an organic flow and show you the stages.

If you want a step-by-step tutorial on the whys and the house, please consult. One of my videos I'll put on the link now or I'll click on the top right corner and that'll give you a breakdown, but I'm going to put on the mask and it's me in this process, I'm going to be very fluid with it and hopefully this time we will create a tall vars those are my plans let's see how we go goodbye it's sharon from vivid days and we're here for review time now this was a labor of love you have a second sculpture that you're about to see and why was this a label?

Well, it's the

biggest

piece I've ever worked on, but I also felt like it wasn't finished, so I made the two outer layers and the center piece, but used it as a separate piece. piece because it just wasn't big enough for the interior and then I came and made this centerpiece separately and it still didn't feel right, it was disjointed even though they were the same colors, so I came and added these crystals, just scattered on table. with the uv glue and then the uv resin I should say and then by not holding it right I broke it here, you can see the little gems there, but my uv grew, the uv resin acted like a paste.

I'm not selling this one, this one is for me. It's a prototype and it still didn't feel quite right and everyone kept saying, "Turn it on, put some LED

light

s on it, but I'm a little reluctant to fix them on my resin permanently because it's a personal choice, you might like it and enjoy it without the

light

s, you might want to add them now because this will be for my house and it will go in one of my cabinets. I have put two sets of LCD lights in there as mini fairy lights and they are battery operated and they are hidden under here.

I'll show you now without them, so there's two of them and I've got these big big table crystals scattered about, if only we could afford crystals like this, they're just covering them up, so I'm going to take it out now with my laser scissors going around, so I'm going to leave it like that for now so someone can choose to have it without now none of this is glued or resined so for a couple of places like there I just put a little bit of tape on it don't worry it's not for marking it or anything like that, it's just to keep it in place a little bit mainly while I was filming, but also to look at the possibilities now, maybe one day.

I'll be brave and add it impermanently but not right now but I think it's an awesome piece now that I feel like it's complete and there's a certain place that I think it looks better it's like that here and I think it's because It's opening up so it's like the splash of the ocean or water or a flower opening up and I love this dough. By the way, a lot of money has been invested in this, when I think about the costs of the race itself and afterwards. These tabletop glass scatters, I mean, they weigh 10 pounds each and I've gone through two bags for that, so there's 20 pounds in there, let alone the resin, which I do differently and use some because I didn't have any. enough crystals in this I used some glass and now let's look at my nails sorry I've been busy decorating so I haven't had time to take care of myself.

I've been decorating more paper around the house, the Christmas tree, preparing for whatever requests people have worked for me and the last thing I've had to do was take care of myself, so now I'm going to do that. Kinda not doing it now, but I'm going to turn the lights back on. Remember, thumbs up, subscribe. Shared comments are always welcome, let me know what you think about this. Oh, I'll get the table scraps back, so it's a mess in the middle, but I'd love to hear your thoughts. Do you like the addition of light? the lights are off too so you hold them up it gives a lot I mean I put two of these fairy lights up and I'll put the Amazon attachments in my link basically just Christmas lights I wouldn't use firefly lights like them. call them, I imagine when it's not Christmas they might be a little bit cheaper, but these were 2 pounds 99, but look, that's going to give a

real

ly nice shine to my cabinet, so you could choose to have them permanently and you could choose to have them. a little UV by lifting them up and stick them where you want.

I just want to be able to change them and swap them and I might even change my mind but there are certain things where I've been able to just slide it between the spaces so that there's not a lot of wire showing there's a little bit but not a lot um but overall I think which is a winner, winner chicken dinner, but check out my etsy shop, there may be some treasures in there you want to buy, join my facebook group if you want to display them. any of your creative outlets is a very supportive group and gives you the chance to showcase your art with other people or creations and let me know if this is a win, this is a failure, where would you have stopped?

Would you stop with the first coat? Would you have stopped for a second and stopped before putting in the diamonds and then the lights? Just let me know. I'm curious to know, but what I'm going to do now is show you the second sculpture that was originally going to be the centerpiece and I'm really enjoying the next one, it's very abstract, but we'll bring you in and show you that
