Silicone molds for resin! - Jewelry and Geodes!

https://youtu.be/MFDfsliv4t8 Hey guys, I will show you all about these beautiful molds in today's video. These are silicone molds, and I got them from the Juilliard Studio. She is amazing. She makes all kinds of really gorgeous molds. She also makes and sells things in the molds, but I have some earring molds and some little geode things here. Today I will show you guys how I use these and the process I do with them. So this one is a more extensive juicy mold that you can cut, and there's a smaller one that will give you the look of a genuine crystal, like that little um where it's shiny, and the light shines on different spots in different directions. It looks lovely with the resin. I mixed up some of my artistry epoxies and poured this for you guys. I did this video a long time ago, so I am trying to remember if I used a regular or fast set, but either one will work beautifully in molds. Our one-to-one facet works well in molds. I can't even imagine how fast you can unmold them if they are rock-hard. Okay, taking this gorgeous color, I believe this is tinsel from my Christmas collection, mixing that up, and what I like to mix up different colors, different glitters, different things, and then you pour a bunch of molds at one time. So they're all kind of, you know, got the same stuff in them, but they all look a little different because you pour them in other orders or you do less of one color, or you'll see what I mean when I start pouring them. So this is a filter. It's a super good kind of champagne silvery glitter that is gorgeous. I have a more significant cut on the Extra site, which is like a filter on the older sister, but it looks lovely. I love this glitter. Soon, I want a line of beautiful colors of all the pigment paste you could ever want. So starting with this bit of earring mold, going in with the black or sorry, going in with the Savannah Than the mold, sorry, black, and you can see I'm just dabbing it in there like no rhyme or reason, just doing little tiny bits because with these little jewelry molds you don't use epoxy very much, then that's the filter. Then a little clear, and then this one I'm taking looks like the snowy chunky glitter and just placing it randomly, that is tinsel. I wanted these three to look completely different. I'm doing glitter in other areas and different colors. There is the savannah. Clear, do it. This is followed by some clearing, followed by some filtering in this one, and it works. This is followed by some clearing, followed by some filtering in this one, and it works. I did speed this up. This is not how fast I'm moving. If I didn't speed it up, we'd be here for days, but I'm just taking my time and thinking about it. This is the regular epoxy because the facet might have been getting tacky by now and hardening. I did it quickly, which is fine if you know what you're doing and how to do it quickly. You can use a fast set for molds, but if you're new and you like to take your time, the regular epoxy is going to work best because then you're not, uh, like, hurrying and you're not stressed out about getting it in the mold before it starts curing. Do the regular if you're not sure, but if you know what you're doing and can do it fast, the fast set in molds is insane, and I plan on doing a bunch just a bit as soon as possible I get some time. So these are the druzy pieces that I cut so You can push them down further. I just wanted it to be a whole piece on each side to have some of the little kind of jewel spots, so now I'm doing these holographic earrings, and I need to understand how they can be holographic because of the shape. It's called the mold holographic, making your resin piece holographic. I was hoping you wouldn't ask me how; I don't know, but it's cool. I've seen a lot of holographic molds, and they're just mind-blowing. So yeah, you'll see when I pull these out that they're holographic, and there's like this little design in there, so I'm doing two different earrings since I have the four. That's what they looked like. I went in with a heat gun and blew it around to pop some bubbles. Now comes the exciting part of unmolding these. I love unmolding stuff. It's like the best, most satisfying thing. There are more significant pieces, and you can see how they have different colors. They look pretty. They could be like natural stones. You want to ensure you're not doing the same thing on both sides because no two stones are the same, so as long as you're using the colors, it will give you that realistic stone look. I could take some scissors and trim the edges because these were still soft on the soft side like I didn't fully cure them. When you're being more careful with jewelry and stuff like I was not, you can get the right amount in there, and it won't overflow, and you don't have to worry about this. But if you were to leave it to harden, you could sand it off. But I could take scissors and trim the edges because it was still soft. So then those are the three pieces for the earrings. This is a nice set. I still need to finish a set of earrings. I planned to spend it for this video and show you guys, but I didn't see that holographic like it's just crazy. As I said, these molds are of excellent quality. I have so many molds from her, and I will link her site below, but I follow her on Instagram, so her website is Juilliard studio.com and her Instagram is juliart84. As I said, I will link it below. These are just marvelous quality molds, and there are only a few places to get them out. I can't be. I've seen how pretty these came out, and this was my first time using these three molds, and I was blown away at how beautiful and realistic they look, even with that chunky glitter. Tinsel and Snowy were chunky glitters that I used, but they came out just looking beautiful and natural, even though I know there's actual chunky glitter in them. We all know that cheesy, using glitter can sometimes look a little more crafty and a little more kiddish and cheesy, but in these, it looks stunning. I'll show you those holographic earrings again. Isn't that insane? I still need to understand how it does that, but it looks so cool. It almost looks like a rainbowy galaxy in there. Wow, so then to finish off these little like kind of stone geode pieces, I'm taking my metallic markers and just coloring the outsides, so I'm also doing that to the center of the back and then also kind of on the beveled part, which we call it, like the more stone looking part. So, of course, I got it in my hand. But then I wanted to do silver with this more black-and-white one. So here's how these three pieces turned out. They look gorgeous, and honestly, I don't know, like I'm not sure, but if you have an excellent idea for these, let me know in the comments, and also go Check out Juilliard's website and Instagram to get some of these molds. They are of fantastic quality. They are not overpriced for what they are. People might think that molds are expensive, but they are. There's a lot that goes into it. The silicone itself is costly, but the quality of these is fantastic. That is it for this video. Guys, Thank you so much for watching. I'll see you at the next one. Bye.
