I'm really enjoying you having Nicole on more. Y'all are so cute together!

Well I couldn't choose a favorite. They were all great and very beautiful. I just love how Nicole and you work together on the projects and you calling her "Doll" is so fantastic and it shows how much you mean to each other.. the spheres are very creative and gorgeous. Can't wait to see the next projects. Happy days!😂❤😅😊

I would like to see you make the Arkenstone gem from the Hobbit. Seems like the dichroic film would would be perfect for this. Since the book describes its as a gem of a thousand facets that shown with its own inner light Maybe some kind of LED light molded inside? With your artistic genius I’d love to see what you could come up with.

Amazing as always! Wonder what would happen if you put that paper through a paper shredder and then packed it in a ball with resin, the shredded particles might look like opal.

@jonathanhibberd9983 4 ай бұрын

We called those paper springs. They're great for pop-up books & cards. Smallest was my favorite, then the largest. They're all beautiful, but the small one has great personality with that bubble, and the large one I like the clarity. I think I would have preferred the middle more if it wasn't quite so busy.

These turned out amazing! I think I like the middle one best, but they are all stunning. Love to Luna, from the US. She's a sweetie 💓

@StrandedLifeform 4 ай бұрын

These are all beautiful ❤️ And a big hello to Luna, glad she was able to be part of the show today. I am surprised that you didn't put them in the degassing chamber. A suggestion for the big one if you make another for the show (I hope you do). Since the mold gives you a natural "pole", get a long wood staff, drill a hole on one end, run a small light in the staff with a push button on/off switch and add the sphere on top to make like a wizard type staff.

Ben, you two and your work inspired me to save up for months and now I have my own professional pressure pot and 1/2 horsepower air compressor. I just received the compressor this morning and my first test piece is sitting in there under 25 PSI.

@kaypeddie4996 4 ай бұрын

I think the largest is my favorite as it seems to have more personality especially when it’s turning. I am anxious to try one of my own.

@BensWorx 4 ай бұрын

Yeah the larger one looked awesome with the magnification, Don't be scared to try it, it was really easy 😊

I liked the geode one, even before you polished it. Like a dull stone with shiny precious stones twinkling here and there. Loved the uneven finish, glad you didn't try to sand it down. Sometimes imperfections make a thing even more attractive.

The aone where the air got trapped - I kind like it, looks like a feature - like you said, a bit like a geode. I like the matt vs the shiny when you demoulded it. Those are all totally stunning. I will be doing something similar with chunky holographic tinsel soon

@sarahkwast1250 4 ай бұрын

That's my favorite as well. It looks like you made a geode design on purpose. The dull surface on the rest of the ball makes the geode stand out better! 😊

@enryutenchi837 4 ай бұрын

My favorite would have been the big one but I think it looked better with the shaft on it, kind of like a handle or something. Or you could use the shaft to stick it in your lawn or garden, that would be pretty cool if you get some lights on it at night.

@kwillemsdesigns 4 ай бұрын

One thing to try next time would be to glue/UV resin some crystals to the 'cracked' area to really enhance the geode look. Then another coat of resin or UV to restore the shine. Love your channel. Keep p the great work!!

Y'all are adorable. I love how you use reckon, as it's used commonly here in the American south. I also love using iridescent/dichroic cellophane. I get many facets by crunching up and flattening out the material. The wrinkles create many facets.

It's a really tough choice. They all came out so unique and so beautiful and look fantastic as a set, but I have to say the small one is the winner. It has the most color and character. Wonder if the same thing would happen if you tried using the ice mold again? Great video. Thanks for sharing.

@fattdamon5342 4 ай бұрын

I'd be curious to see what one of these would look like if you finely chopped the film down into like large glitter and then mixed it entirely with the resin before you poured it in. That could be a really neat and more uniform effect!

@paulcabrelli1863 4 ай бұрын

They looked stunning. How about putting some of the dichroic plastic film through a cheap paper shredder and a good cross cut paper shredder as well to add a different effect. Keep up the great content Mr&Mrs Worx.
