Hand Painting with Decor Transfers

open them. I make the mold with resin. I can see the questions now. The transfer is.it's called botanical flower let me see if I can it's a kind of flower I know it's the other way around for you but botanical flower not botanical flower okay so botanical flower and um let's see the spring flower it's oh look how pretty it is that's so nice so let's make it a little bit like I'm not fully loading my brush, I'm loading it and then I'm unloading it on the edge of the jar, which I should probably try to keep a little less messy if I want so I can open my paints anymore I'm a girl messy I can't help it ugh okay I'll do it later um so I've got a little bit on my brush and I'm just going to lightly go over the top of My details look I'm going to start there.

If I want more color, I'll add more color, but for now make sure you get rid of the glue. Your hot glue threads too. Those aren't pretty. They are not pretty in a finished piece. So I'm lightly going over the top of my molds in the details. Yes, you can always add more paint if you want more color. Okay, I have these little details and I want to do a little bit. I'm just going to Go like this around the bottom corner, I guess I don't know the little bottom angle here to create almost like a highlight, I don't know what you would call it on this, but I'm not

the Basically, everything is what I'm trying to say. , just give it a little touch of color, just a little touch of color.

You can use your finger to mix it with whatever you want. Well, that's our little touch of color in our hearts. I don't know, we can look at it and add something else or something different, but for now that's good, so we chose blue gold for our opal magic, so you can see in the bottle how it shines in two different colors, right? Ooh, isn't it so pretty? I'm obsessed and oh that one opened up on the spot, well Anya, true enough, mm-hmm how can you not love that iridescence and I've got my other little flat quarter inch.

I'm just going to load some local magic onto my brush and dump the excess. the side of my jar and then I'm going to brush the top of my wings just the top for now, let's see how far we want to take it, almost like the sunlight is shining on the top of our little wings here and I. If you hold the brush at a 45 angle or slant it will help you brush the top of the details instead of going down there, if that's what you're looking for, which is what I'm usually looking for, it's just just the tops of that way you have the dimension of the gold down in the details and then the highlight of the lighter color or whatever color right on top, so I think that will suit it, just a little bit of highlight, not too much. crazy, not too crazy, we'll do the same thing on the other side, okay, so we're just highlighting the wing a little bit, of course, if you want to paint the entire wing, you can, um, that's not what I do.

I'm going this way, so we're just brushing the top right and there we go, so it's subtle, um, but it's definitely a change, you know, just adding those little details that you can add, just adding so much that they make a big difference in um. you know how much effort it looks like you put into the piece honestly you like those little details or what or what happens so here we go is there a little clock or not our little heart locker with wings flying has to decide if we want to hang a key from it or not , but anyway, I'm going to jump in and finish it or try it, but I don't know if I see after they dry properly, how do you get it to stick flat against your piece?

Oh, so if when you use the quick setting resin, as soon as they turn white, they can be removed, they will still be a little bit, I don't want to say stretchy, but they are like they can stretch if they are embellished, they will stretch when you take them out of the mold, but they bounce back, so right after they turn white, when you start gently peeling them off, they're still flexible, they're still flexible, you can still place them around corners, curves, edges, whatever, so the more wait the stiffer they will get so if you wait overnight they will be tough, if you know you wait a couple of hours they will be a little bit stiffer but still.

Bendy so you know that the sooner you can get them out of the molds once they turn white, the better chance you'll have of conforming them to a curve or um curve or you know something like a curved surface, so let's look at more questions that I don't know. I see more questions, I can't find them all among all the notifications saying Marshall is watching, there's a glitch or something well, I don't really see, I can't see any more questions from this, so okay, points, yeah, okay . uh thanks for hanging out with me and tuning in and watching me suspend some molds it's a lot of fun yeah it can be a little tedious if you go crazy but that's the fun part for me the tedious parts of the process.

This is the fun part for me, so you don't have to go crazy with it, you know, but yeah, that's our little one, so we're going to work on finishing that part. Everyone have a great day and me. I'll be back here Thursday at noon on the redesign with the prima group, I'm working with more pre-mud and doing some more fun stuff, so join me next week at noon Thursday and have a great week or have a great weekend, instead of goodbye.
