I just got to the part of your video where you talked about your husband going to the other Michael's to get the beads you needed. I just wanted to stop and say that, I think that is one of the sweetest things ever! It sounds like you have an amazing husband! If you happen to read this tell him that this little story makes me so happy to hear. It shows how selfless he is. He took time out of his day to help make your day that much easier ❤ It was extremely sweet of him to help you out so you could get back to your work. I believe that if more people in relationships would not be so selfish and would go out of their way to help each other, more relationships would last. I've always wanted a relationship like my grandparents had. They loved each other so much! My grandaddy was an amazing man and my grandmother was an amazing woman! They always helped each other and never made it out to be an inconvenience. That's true love 🥰 I am sorry, I know this comment is random and is running long but you have no idea how much this made my day! ❤ PS. I absolutely LOVE your art! 😁

He deserves every kind word you wrote. He listened to me stressing out and volunteered to make the drive for more beads. I am very lucky indeed and I know. We all need a partner that is willing to make us happy even in the littlest ways. Thank you and I will absolutely share your comment with him. 😊❤️

What an amazing geode!! I have been a subscriber for some time, but I haven’t seen any videos in quite awhile until a day or 2 ago. The pink geode was stunning, and thank you for the tips and tricks! I believe I have learned at least 3 or 4 new tips in this video and the pink one. Using the geode coaster mold and then applying to your sub straight was genius. I can hardly wait to see what you have to share next. Thank you for sharing your wisdom.

@MoonkusserArt 2 жыл бұрын

It might be due to the resin you are using having low viscosity. Try allowing your resin to thicken a little before pouring. Sometimes letting it sit in cup 10-15 minutes can help with that.

I went on the Epoxy Resin Store website and they offer Black Diamond pigment, alcohol inks and opaque liquid pigments. I am confused about what you used and would like to buy the right product. Thank you very much.
