"Bookmark, imagine how big that would make your book, hehehehe." I LOVE your videos Steve. I laughed with as you giggled at your mistake. Love the result of today's video. They both came out brilliantly! Your skills are legendary. Also, "squidge, no widgey" that made me laugh too.

"Just a squidge, no widge." I giggled. These are fun! Thanks for the ideas!

Your laughter is so infectious, just love it. Thank you for sharing this with us.

Love you laughing n giggling Steve.

I just want to say thank you for your videos. I have been doing resin work for 3 years now and because of your videos I have learned so much from you including that it’s ok if one of my projects don’t turn out. Again I just wanted to say Thank You

Thank you. That means more to me than you will ever know. ❤️

I prefer the chrome ones over leaving them plain. Thanks for using different coloring techniques too. Always helpful tips with some giggles thrown in.

Great vid Steve!

1:37 😂😂😂 i love your personality ❤

Ooooooo luv the white n silver together

Loving the chrome in the bookend for the children. Just beautiful The S bookend too is fabulous. Well done ❤

Hello, I have been watching you for 1 year now. Thank you so much. I love your work and you have taught me so much. God Bless

Here's an idea. A black bookend with a large fleur de lis in gold. This was my first time watching you. FUN!

Love the chrome and would look stunning with a faux marble black/gray and white…too

Love it with the chrome in. Beautiful! ✌️❤️🤣 peace, love and happiness

The chrome looks absolutely gorgeous in the white one

The Book Ends turned out so cute Steve! I have a few molds that I think your technique will look great and take them up a level! THANKS FOR YOUR CREATIVITY AND SHARING THIS VIDEO

Anybody else notice the runaway stamp 😅 if you're looking for it Steve check the underside of your cardboard box. Love your videos, I've learnt a lot thank you 😊

I am in love with the Chrome

Love how the chrome came out, and i learned something new. 😊❤

omg yes! Adding the chrome to the baby one made it SO pretty! I really liked it before, but the silver elevated it and made it look really elegant and expensive! Perfect gender-neutral colours as well, that will sell very nicely! You never fail to inspire me, every single video I come away bristling with new ideas :D Thank you so much! Also "Squidgy, no widgey!" That made me laugh! Nice one Steve, best wishes!

I like the chrome on the bookend.

The chrome really makes the bookend pop!

Love this tutorial! I never thought of using tack it! Great idea! Thanks Steve!

The chrome looks great on the white!

Love the bike ends

Thanks Steve! Great tips! xx 🎉

Love them ❤❤❤❤ especially the white baby one with the chrome

Oh no, I’d feel weird without the widge 😂

They came out so cool, Steve. 👏🏻😁

love the chrome on the white one! 😊

The chrome looks great Steve 😊

Love all your videos, THANK YOU🎉

Love you and how you talk to yourself, thank goodness not just me😂. So glad to see you back more often, miss you so much when you post less often and makes me think you are in need of knowing how much you make my and others day!!! If you were from the US you would have to be from the south because of how you laugh at yourself and explain things, so anyone watching the videos can understand, you have obviously taugh, as you have stated, and hopefully have had students tell you how you have changed their lives in the past. From the first video of yours, I watched, I felt like family, as we southerners make others feel-bet you are are hugger as well😊, at least that is how you make me feel. ❤

Those are really great! I love the chrome on the book end!

Awesome Steve, love with the chrome in the stamps❤❤

I was watching another resin artist pouring a tricky mould and I thought you need to give that a squidgy widgy! LOL It's catching on!

These turned out great!! I am just getting into stamping so I’m glad to know that when I get bored with that I can transfer them over to my resin work. Lol.

Thank you for that laugh. ❤ Lost a stamp there, sticking to the box? Was it lost, after the box was on the table? (Sorry, very curious and fix on strange details. )

Thank you I just started my resin journey

Love them. What a great and fun idea. 😊❤

Got the bookend silver

beautiful steve x

Looks fabulous ( I would colored the bookends pink blue yellow light green

I like the silver.

would it work the same putting them on the top instead of the bottom?

I love the chrome..❤😊

That chrome is *gorgeous,* Steve, and made your "bookmark" come out SO amazing! Very high end looking! Idea? White polyurethane marbled with black PU for the bookend mold?

Brilliant tack it! Thanks

What do you think of Art Pro resin?

For deep pouring I just use a vacuum pressure pot. It gets rid of all my bubbles. And it's so easy to use. I just place it in my pot before I pour it.

you're too funny Steve, I didn't get the bookmark for a few seconds and then I snorted really loud I like the chrome colouring on the baby bookmark I think that more stamps on the front-facing part would really look very cute in a nursery, mums and dads would snap these up for their little one's bookshelves.

Deep pour would be making an entire kitchen island from resin. I saw a vehicle encased in a deep pour resin.

Greetings. As with many of your projects, I absolutely love this project. That white with the chrome was everything along with the humor at your own mistakes. Simply means your human. Sometimes the better & or most loved pieces cone from happenstance. Seems like you gave us a kit-n-kaboodle of info/ideas. Thank you so much for that. Please forgive me if I'm asking a question that has already been addressed. I can only imagine how gorgeous a deep pour project would be in clear with the sticker inlays colored with the pens or mica powders etc., which leads me to how clear is this resin as well as the yellowing possibilities?

I think you could come back on those chrome bits with some thin black paint and wipe the surface of the chrome bits to leave the paint just in the details. Basically just do that old antiquing trick. They look great just as they are, though.

I didn't even GET the Bookmark oopsy, until you said BookEnd😮😅😂...

Have you ever done it where you put ink and/or mica on the stamps first?

I will be ordering your reuseable kit! Drives me nuts to keep throwing stuff away. I'm a very new beginner and still having problems with tacky resin. Although I'm very careful about proportions, I think part of the problem is on the disposable pots, the measurements aren't easy to see. Also recently learned to pour B into A, and to put the resin in warm water both before measuring and after stirring (my house is pretty cold at 69°F) so have also recently put a small portable heater near the curing resin, which has helped, but it isn't perfect yet. Just making "real" bookmarks and soap dishes with dried flowers, and small charms, working thru the problems with the help of KZread videos. I've found if the bookmarks or charms don't cure all over, I can embed them in the soap dishes and repour over them. Strangely, I've had more luck with cure rates on the soap dishes than anything else.

My name still isn't on the members list. Ive been a member since December.

I will check it out and see why. It is always the KZread name that goes in it. Can you DM me through the Facebook members group

I would like to be a member. I’m a beginner and I love your channel.

Did one of those decals stick to the bottom of the resin box? Sure looks like it.

The chrome marker is beautiful…. I appreciate all that you do and teach us….not everyone can buy the different resins so with that said I personally have poured a dog statue that took more than 11 ounces and I put a fan right next to it to cool it down for a few hours….never walk away and forget it….check it again and again….never had a flash cure it doesn’t hurt the curing…. I am not an expert but I was a guy do a very large vase and he mixed up a lot of resin broke it down into smaller amounts and put it in cool water bath….would you please do a deep pour like that and show ppl that it indeed will work as long as they put a table fan within an inch of the piece?

I’d love your resin kit with the large mixing bowl, but it seems to be ‘currently unavailable’ in UK.☹️

❤❤❤❤❤

With Chrome 😊

Been watching your videos for a long time now, and I keep checking your link for your kit bowls etc, yet its always currently unavailable. Do you know when they are going to start stocking it again. Many thanks.

Can you use the deep pour resin for shallow pours?

Dang, i bought let’s resin deep pour. Is it still a good resin?

What is tacky glue? Is it like modge podge, I'm new to this sorry

I keep looking at getting the kit with your mat etc and its never in stock when i look. 😢

What was so shocking about that?

Ok this is most likely a stupid question.... is it still considered a deep pour if something is tall buy its skinny and thin like a vase n such?

Don’t use tack-it on an inlay and you’ll float too…you’ll float too…you’ll float too 🎈 🤡 sorry I couldn’t resist 😅

Doesn't look very deep. In a deep pour you do layers of no more than 2 inches.

Yeah, not my cup of tea.
