Ikr, me too!

I tell you.

Annie Morris well if you know thats where it renders you, you are still by far better of than I am... You have some things, and some knowledge and some knowhow.. Thats at least a bit on the way.. Let me pointout what I mean.. I have had some major (not overestemated i swear) and by various (Several) fluke accidents I have had to spend ages in the hospital (Unfortunatly due to savings rehab and geriatrics is the same ward, I was the only one who was 1.younger than 70years, 2. Not suffering from memory disorder. And I could not run around. They gave-me a wheelchairI couldn’t push myself it has to be driven by someone else, (,guess they didn’t like my speed on a normal wheelie) but with everything below the waste on the left side (every joint) bent wrong way and only able to stay in bed.. 4 months is a long time.. (I have a reason to telling what led up to this ). Then when the finally could untangle me.. (extreme flexible double jointed). I was so relieved and happy finally I get to do some creating it was like a tremendous itch inside... All good and well but my streak of miss-fortune ramped up and struck again I did not even get a week of some serious creativity.. After finally going home still under orders to take it easy, I had not counted on finding a oddball frozen puddle in the middle of august heat.. (a freeze food transporting 18 wheeler had caused it by accident) but they had thrown some fine sawdust on it thinking that would defrost it..,nope it was opposite, it-prevented it, and made it super slippery.. next thing know im in a ambulance heading back to the hospital, had done some serious acrobatics and landed on my neck..and only that.. well that rendered me yet another long period in..yup...same award.. by this time the itch to create was so bad I considered doodling on the walls when they weren’t looking. But gave it up since I was paralyzed on that mysteriously left side. Worked hard and managed to get almost well, and finally got to go home.. yay I was all bubbly and eager to do some serious creating. Im not limited, i do most artsy things, and design! & invent etc. But I knew I had to exercise since it helps to regain mobility and functionality, not over do it (I figured) a bit, buy some food and fetch the mail.Then I decided id get to do some creative soul refilling. Half a block from home I found a old man that obviously had fallen, his walking aid was broken, and it looked like he stepped on a stone and it had moved. So I Looked around and I hit nuclear directly, no one helped him, most didn’t even lookup from their phones, and they clearly were ignoring the both of us (me to since I went there). It was a very kind, funny, and nice old man, humor evident but I saw he was getting cold from laying on the ground. So I-asked if I could do anything. And he burst out: Yes please, it hurts to lay like this. So I bent over to help him, but before I even got there it sounded like a rifle shot, intense pain from my back and it all went black. When I came to again, old watery but very blueeyes looked at me with a twinkle and he said: Not that I dont appreciate it when a young lady lays next to me, but honestly, you didnt have to do that. Couldnt help my self cause he had only herd the “pang” . Had to get both of us help, I could hardly move. But I helped him home, cleaned him of, made him some food cause he missed the delivery because he had fallen.and then I went to the emergency..l had quite a bit of pain I couldn’t sit and it turned out I had somehow compressed and shattered a bone in the spine, and also managed to break the tailbone... Now this was a major Dilemma cause because of my previous accident I was not allowed to stand or walk a lot.. So I-was sent right back to....yup same ward. The head nurse there informed me it was just children who were utilizing any of the resources that could be used in a creative way.. not even the gypsum ;) ( I did try to nab a few but had to give up). Well... after x number of months and with a painful corset like thingie I could-leave. I felt almost like smegol in lord of the rings (but in regards to do something creative). The very same day I got home, my mom called. I still have it in me to respect and love my (not so young )mother (almost 80) and since she had her big day and insisted I should come I figured ill create something after. Only means of transportation was a moped, but I went slow. Arrived, and stood still. All I had undone was to climb of and eat cake. ^^ of cause it was so close I could almost smell it.. But..the leg of my pants snagged and it tipped to the side, it wasn’t even remarkable, it was almost slow... But.. ^^ Well ill skip ahead, emergency here I come...again... And strangely it was very bad, my wrist had several different types of broken bones (twisted, shattered and torn) and a few straight fractures above that. But to add a sucker punch to that they found in the xray that i was now sporting 4 severely compressed spinal bones and the fifth was shattered badly, The doctor who deals with sedation (in operations) came running and the place was shut down, immediate surgery. Had 8 more after trying to fix things... I have fought so hard to be able to go home, ok, one arm is in a composite equivalent of gypsum, and I cant walk much or sit much or..err do anything but lay down. But I am so desperate to do some creating, I have yearned for it, and really had to fight my way back, I think I have earned it.. Or soI thought.. I got the hospital, ambulance, medicine bill all clumped up with a huge number to be paid and limited time.. Turns out.. even if I have an apartment, and regular bills that goes with that, the fees are the same, even if I have a very very (below minimum survival limit) low sick pension. Was informed that I wont be-able to work any more either. So with my dire need and harsh tough conditions I would be happy to be in your shoes.. =) I have figured out at least two things I can perhaps do... If I can persuade them to start-sending paper bills then I can perhaps do some origami... the other is a even worse long-shot... try to save up a beard (I’m extremly smooth and woman) maybe it can be felted Then there is the dangerous wildcard... if I dare maybe I can catch one of the dustrats before it attacks... and then maybe it can be used as yarn 😬😬😬😬 So be happy! Im still yearning, and the broke part is surviveable. If I could I Would ... but its impossible , I have tried... Tried what to get down on my knees .. You might wonder why... .I wanted to pray to the creator, I know he must have felt that joy, and happiness too. And maybe..just maybe....I for once can find a way to do some creating. Looking at all the amazing stuff they gave there and knowing id love to switch places. So my next thing might just have to be to dream big. To have dies (meaning more than one), ink, in different shades or pearl, or metallic.. its like infinite fiesta of colors, and such marvels as 3D embossing, or amazingly create your own shape for casting...its amazing...so full of things I can only dream of..or wow just the papers.. wow... and all that comes with that , or to make flowers, paper that isnt toilet tissue etc.. so I still say, you are better of... you can achieve it... while I can only dream it

Annie Morris 😂😂😂

Every time you are tempted to buy something put that money in a bank and watch it add up.

Thank you, I had a vacuum u form myself when I was a kid

I also had a Vac-U-Form as a kid. In fact, I was just telling my daughters about all the fun things I made with it! I'm going to have to show them this.

Donna Killewald we had one at school. I remember making a chunky jigsaw then using a machine like that to mould a plastic case around it - this is so cool to have a home version! 😄

I had one and loved all the cool stuff I could make!!

Different brands of vacuum press have been on the market for ever! This isn't the first of its kind.Its cheaper to just DIY one.They have videos on how to diy vacuum presses

Brandy777 would love to see if I could diy one!

He did say in the video that it can be used for chocolate and candle wax but I see it as being able to use it for clay making you can make shapes with the plastic and then create clay pieces from those molds. I am planning on maybe getting one of these. Resin may stick to that plastic though.

@@mightycatcreations1968 You would have to spray with a mold release to be able to use it with resin

I don't know. I would email We R Memory Keepers directly with your questions.

yes! so weird yet I'm surprised they arent trying to sell impression material and stone to go with it lol! its seems kind of useless without it; I mean how many things do you have laying around that you would need a mold of

@smoothie greenburg, my glass eye.

Omg I just posted that same response..I never liked that thing until now.. wondering about undercut on an object

I would check out the WRMK page - it probably tells you what mediums you can use.

nah they use these in dental offices for making bleach trays they just shrunk it down and made you attach your own vacuum :)

Not sure - contact We R Memory directly with your questions.

@@ScrapTimeVideos well ok then thx

Deborah Daniels ‘This machine looks like the those machine use to pack battery, crew drivers, scissors etc.but this is machine only do half of job.

The machine will cost $129.00 so I would think that refills would be pretty cheap. It looks like it's about 5x7 or a bit larger. I'm comparing it to his hands for a size estimate.

Patricia Foulstone In the description, it says $129.00 available in May.

It would depend if the silicone sticks to plastic. And it will retail for $129.

Exactly 😉😆👍

I bet those are a heck of a lot more expensive. :)

I would be concerned about the resin sticking to the plastic.

I would contact We R Memory Keepers directly with your problem.

My guess is the resin will stick to the plastic. But contact We R Memory keepers directly with your question.

I've heard baby oil works well for this kind of plastic and resin and also heard recently that you can also use hairspray as a mold release 🤔

You have to have the vacuum to suck the plastic cover he object to form the shape. No vacuum, no mold.

You will need to contact WRMK with your questions. I haven't used it.

Yes - they are food safe.

I'm not sure. I would contact WRMK directly with your question.

It would depend if your resin sticks to plastic.

Linda Bevan and my iron is only used to make hats

@@andreasymons1518 Mine for encaustic art! If only I could find a use for the washing machine!!

They aren't available yet. Will probably be delayed due to the virus.

I would like to know this, too?

The vacuum sucks the plastic down over the shell to copy the form.

Apparently $129US, refills available in packs of 10 and 40 , at a guess the size looks to be about 4 or 5 inches square?

@@bobbinsew kinda too much plastic wasted. Wish it comes with 2 sizes for the plate or whatever they call that is.

@@ChrisPBacon007 The excess plastic can be removed from the mold and used for small shaker cards or pieces for "windows" in cards or buildings.

@@bobbinsew Not TOO bad a price, but there is a lot of waste. And you do need to use your own vacuum hose for it. I think they could have come down on the price by half. I learned/made my own vacuum form from watching you tube videos. They are pretty easy to make. This is more convenient because everything is done for you, but a person could make one easily. I learned from watching Asian miniaturists who made their own vacuum form machines.

I bought a machine on ebay about 6 years for $99 shipped that does the same thing and has a strong vacuum built into it! You can also buy rolls of the plastic if you're willing to cut it up yourself, it's not really difficult.

It's not available yet. My guess is it may be delayed due to the virus.

Did you see that they were making chocolate? As one of the things you can mold.

@@paularoehl-johnson9991 I did see the chocolate, but usually they say it is food safe. I know from other molding products there usually are separate types. They only said what was molded in the molds.

@@tanyac9428 I'm sure if they're advertising that they can mold chocolate, it's food safe........... and they would probably tell you it's not food safe, only use non-food mediums. For legal reasons...........

I asked and they said it was food safe.

@@ScrapTimeVideos thank you :)
