How about pouring a 2cm wide cylinder of clear resin allow to cure and remove from its mold. Then use colored glass beads instead of stones. For the final pour. put the clear cylinder in the middle of the base so that light from the bottom will have a path to get into the middle of the skull and backlight the beads

I can’t believe the perfect placement of the white stone right on the teeth! 😍beautiful !

That was so cool, and like everyone noticed, the teeth look so real!

Have you tried making one using glass marbles instead of the stones? The light would probably shine through those.

The placement of the white stone is incredible, what amazing good luck!! Absolutely gorgeous piece, Steve, love it!

Perfect gift for that person with rocks for brains. All joking aside that's beautiful. I want one now along with a sea glass one for my book ends.

I did this for my wife for mother's day. She loves it.

Hi Steve! Thank you for all you bring us. Just so happens that I want to start working with stones. Perfect timing

Those wipes are a GAME CHANGER - thank you for bringing those to our attention!

What did I miss? What wipes? New sub, love this channel so far

I love the white stone right in the teeth. Couldn't have been more perfect. Your videos are amazing. Thank you for sharing your ideas and inspiration.

I love that! Well done Steve 👍

Wow! This turned out so beautiful!

Beautiful, those rocks are stunning.

Well I know what I am making for my brother for his birthday on the 31st of this month. Thank you so much! I just so happen to have that exact mold

I love the effect. My first skull I ever made was filled with rough rose quarts.

That turned out fantastic. You should make more stone items. Thanks and have a great week. Byeeee

Hi Steve, try using a little dollop of hand sanitizer on your messy gloves and wipe them off with a paper towel. It works like a charm.

Thanks for the tip.

Gorgeous! You make such beautiful and amazing items. Love watching your videos.

Just got your kit in the mail and am blown away. It's awesome

Amazing!! Getting the white stones just right, love the light underneath

Awesome! 🤩How fantastic that the white stones were in it teeth area! 😁

Oh my goodness what a great idea. I love to tumble stones also and this idea will sure come in handy. Thanks you so much for sharing this idea.

I want watching them, especially that little giggle

Hi Steve When I'm having a bad day, watching your videos helps a lot. God bless you. Sylvia, Denmark

Perfect 🤩 placement on the teeth 😂 thanks Steve ❤❤❤

I've done one with marbles and curling ribbon. They are so cool. Going to try one with wooden balls next, but I'll need to pre resin the wood balls to minimize bubbles.

This came out beautifully! ❤

Really cool. I thought it was great when you turned it around and the white rock was in the teeth 😁. 😍

I did one using glass beads… and a bit of transparent orange 🍊 so pretty 🤩

Brilliant Steve, new ideas for my old store of stones, glass and shells. Your ideas are an inspiration. ❤

Wow. Stunning!❤❤

I love your videos they give me joy! ❤

I love the way the rocks look in this, I am going to have to try this!! Thank you

This looks fantastic, I love it. I’ll have to get some stones and find a mould that I love. Thank you Steve.

Looks beautiful,love it💯💯💯

Absolutely amazing! Be a great paper weight 👍

Turned out great!💖

Really LOVE THIS ❤❤❤❤❤

That is beautiful i love it i think people would definitely buy this i know i would

That is so cool, love it!!!

Gorgeous 😊

Beautiful!

That is so cool! I really love it! That was awesome how a white stone ended up where the teeth are! Love it!

Gorgeous!!

That's amazing, try it with polished glass, then the light might shine through. xx

I did something similar with marbles in a frog mold, really looks good, will try in a skull next

Hi Steve, that turned out absolutely brilliant. Iv got loads of beautiful stones and would love to make something similar. ❤

We have been creating resin pieces with crystal and stone Chips for years!

Awesome ❤

I did the same thing in the frog and skull just using garden stones, they are really nice, wish I would have had all the coloured stones you used💕

Nice, I have some river rocks that would be beautiful

I’ve been polishing rocks like mad to make more.

Was super surprised to see this project. I have made several of these in different molds over the past few weeks! Love how yours turned out!

Wow, that's my favourite thing you've made in resin this year Steve! I love the natural 'river bed' look it has, you've captured it perfectly. You decision not to add colour or glitter was a good one I think. I bet it sells super quick Steve! Have a great week!

Thank you Carly, it found a new home almost immediately. I’m polishing rocks like mad now to be able to make more.

Beautiful.

Beautiful

Ohh wonderful, I've put tiny rocks in resin b4, but this is next level, such a brilliant 💡 u make such pretty things❤❤❤

so cool would of never thought of rocks

❤😮🎉MAGNIFICENT

Ohhh I love this! I have a bunch of gemstone chips that I could do in smaller moulds, I love it! I'm also so SO happy to see you using Big Wipes again, I went through about 15 of your videos the other day trying to get a good view to see exactly which Big Wipe variant you use, so thank you SO much for the link today, mega mega helpful, they really should sponsor you! 😁🌈💜

Wow, I really love this one!! if you wanted to have a light shine through more of the top, maybe you could add a layer of stones then do clear marbles, either those flat vase ones or round, to the middle by using tube, just stick it in empty, then pack the rocks on the outside edges around it. fill the tube with the vase beads then pull the tube out. I think that should work. Love your stuff!

I would definitely buy that.

Now that is one gobsmackingly gorgeous stone skull! Absolutely love this project, Steve. Thank you and have a fab week! ❤

Love this, looks so great. Did make me laugh that you kept rubbing the head at the end (no innuendo intended) 😂

Love this

Love it!! ❤

OMGoodness!!! It's absolutely Beautiful! Love it!!

The sparkly reddish stone is "Goldstone" a man-made stone invented by monks. It's beautiful and I would like to imitate it in resin at some point.

LOVE polished rock, Steve, and the skull turned out SO beautiful! ❤😍👍

LOVEEEE

❤❤

That looked absolutely fantastic!! It would make a great garden ornament withe those beautiful stones. Maybe in an animal mould of some kind. Stunning!

I used stone and looks really good I love it

Really Cool. I tumble rocks and I am always looking for ways to use them. Thank you Steve. Hey put about 12 of these in a circle and you will have Stone-Head 😜

As always I love you’re ideas. You talks about doing one with only one kind of stone.. Try with 3 or maybe 4 kinds. I truly believe it will look WAUW🤩🥳 Maybe try in some other cool item Thank you for my favorite channels❤

Gorgeouis!

Your laugh makes me giggle everytime Steve❤❤❤ Love the Multicolor stone skull❤

hi Steve, love the vids. just an idea...instead of using a sharpie marker to mark your resin cup, use a wet erase pen. the ink will come off in water.... keep up the good work, I'm learning a lot

Such an awesome look!

Absolutely loved it.

I'm looking forward to seeing your video on how to polish stones. Those are beautiful stones you have. I wonder where you got them?

That white stone is fantastic, The whole piece is amazing. I get fired up when your new videos appear because I know they will be good.

😍

So..I was thinking ...how about putting some lights in with the stones? I think that would be awesome! OK... I am inspired! thank you so much for sharing this! six days later! :) cheers!

Want to make it a lamp? Use TV Stone. Sorta fiber optic like. And glitter! It would look amazing.

I tried this a few weeks ago with gravel bought for a fish tank. Its clean but not pollished yet still comes out with a really bright finish.

So cool! I wonder if you used only semi-transparent stones would it work as a light?

It could be made into a very nice desk lamp by drilling through it to run wires.

How long did the stones in the resin skull actually take to cure? Great idea. Thanks for texting back.

Absolutely gorgeous, how would you price this 🤔

I’d love a flat bottom! Well, maybe just a bit flatter than it is right now 😊

Awsome 💀 lone this idea 💡

I'm one of those. I measure the mold with water & write it on the outside.

What is the best way to clean out that mold you used in this video? I've got the same. I want to make sure it's clean inside before I pour resin again. So how should I clean the inside out. Your channel is very informative. Thank you very much.😊

Great idea, I just bough a rock tumbler to see if it would be able to smooth out some 3D prints (alas no)... The kit came with a bunch of stones so I'll give it a go, I didn't hear you mention how much a piece like this would sell for. Cheers

Lovely Steve 🥰 How much would they sell for?

I love it 😍 I made something like that 3 month ago and i love to use stones 😊 Can you tell me what respirator you have with microphone? I can't find 🥺

I have to laugh. I LOVE your giggles! So is this called stoned? Hehehe. I love what you do!

I’m not into skulls, but that might tempt me!!!😊 How much would you sell that for Steve?

I have not created anything yet. Would like to create a flat round disk to use as a coaster and "float" buttons in it like you do with stones. Do you recommend that I let the first layer dry completely and then add buttons (which will probably sink) and then add a second layer? Or do you recommend I do it in one step, as you do here? Thank you!

Do you think there'd be a way to make it with something in the middle so it wouldn't use as many stones?

As the skull is so deep would your resin not flash cure?
