Lately I’ve had a hard time coming up with something to “blog” about. I wonder what you want to know. What you would be interested in hearing about. On the personal side, I was a radio announcer for many years. I went on to become a corporate large events coordinator, in Seattle, WA. It was about that time that I began my journey with fluid acrylics. The vibrations of rich colors just resonate with me, so it was a match made in heaven.
Flash forward, to present day (10 years later), and here I am stepping into the epoxy resin world (and obviously gaga for anything that I can get my hands on from ArtResin). Although, I believe that everything happens for a reason (and in its own time), if you had told me a couple of years ago that I would be creating art videos for YouTube, I would have laughed my ass off.
It’s been an amazing, hectic, lesson-filled ride so far, but it’s still like Christmas morning each time I finish editing that next video. I’ve done the smart thing and monetized my channel. It doesn’t bring in much, but I thought it would be a good way to help with studio supplies or maybe saving up for wish list items. I just got my first check from YouTube and it was enough to buy a small miter saw! That is going to make it a lot easier (and cheaper) for me to make my own wood canvases!
So, I guess what I would like to say, more than anything, is THANK YOU to anyone who has watched any of my videos… “Liked” any of my videos… anyone who has clicked on an ad, shared a video, clicked on an Amazon link…. Whatever… it’s all helping to make this happen. Sounds weird to say it but… each of those little things is changing a life. Mine. So, I will never be able to thank you enough!
Hey! I also need ideas from you for videos. I always have a handful of projects going on that I can video…but do you have a request? I’m not sure that any of my subscribers would be interested in how I make my canvases, when they’re tuning in to see a flip cup or resin pour. I’ll keep doing those for sure, but requests are definitely helpful.
Here are a couple of shots of recent pieces that I have been working on…

And, as always, thank you, for your support.

So, here I sit after all of these months/years of research, watching resin art videos at all ours... etc. You get the point. Then just as I'm applying my acquired knowledge of fluid resin art into my own art..... here comes this B*tch, who lets out ALL of the main top points, all in one list. Damn it.

Actually, her "Oh Sh*t" videos are hilarious and contain some really great resin art making tips.

I haven't met Patty, in person, but I've decided that we're friends.

If you're new to the epoxy resin world, and a lot of people are, now that there are companies like ArtResin putting out far superior product with NO fumes, zero VOC's, and extra protection from UV rays. It's a new world in the fluid art community. This is a game changer.

And, as if that weren't already enough, they go a step further and draw you into their ArtResin world by keeping diary-like YouTube videos, where you learn something new, get tips, and get to know the people behind the company. Genuine, is the word that I think of in relation to the style with which they market their company.

Check out their YouTube channel, by clicking on Patty below...
