right outside this door and she's at the ranch 3 00:00:34,440 --> 00:00:39,720 today where her mother helped us purchase this ranch she was a real estate agent and she had come 4 00:00:40,360 --> 00:00:46,280 on the day that we were seeing it and so I got to meet her then and she was very interested in 5 00:00:46,280 --> 00:00:52,760 jewelry way back then so this is like now springing forward three years and we want to talk to 6 00:00:52,760 --> 00:00:58,600 Kate, her name Kate she'll introduce herself here in a minute and we're going to talk about her 7 00:00:58,600 --> 00:01:04,760 jewelry and I just think it's wonderful that we have a young person here that is really serious 8 00:01:04,760 --> 00:01:10,360 about her craft and about being an entrepreneur so we're going to learn a lot today from Kate which 9 00:01:10,360 --> 00:01:17,320 I can't wait I'm so excited okay so Kate take it all on this your turn introduce yourself. 10 00:01:17,320 --> 00:01:26,280 Hi my name is Kate Sigmund and I am the owner of Kate's creations I make earrings on Facebook and 11 00:01:26,280 --> 00:01:34,120 I have a little business I started I think it was last spring and I have had very much fun doing it 12 00:01:34,840 --> 00:01:42,360 I like it because well it gives me something to do and whenever you're little it's hard to make money 13 00:01:42,360 --> 00:01:48,360 so it's something that you can do to make money then tell me so tell me okay so I'm so proud of 14 00:01:48,360 --> 00:01:53,880 you you know I'm very proud of you you're adorable and you're going to go very far in life tell us 15 00:01:53,880 --> 00:02:00,520 about some of the methods that you use so are you using I know I know the earrings that you're 16 00:02:00,520 --> 00:02:07,000 wearing right now for example they are what are they made out of is that resin yes you're pouring 17 00:02:07,000 --> 00:02:13,880 resin and coloring it with alcohol dyes yes I sometimes I use glitter sometimes I use other 18 00:02:13,880 --> 00:02:21,080 things like kind of little fake sprinkles in them to make them look cool and I also use like the 19 00:02:21,080 --> 00:02:26,920 alcohol dye too because it's translucent and it's like glass right is that one of the reasons why 20 00:02:26,920 --> 00:02:33,400 you like resin it's so much fun to use resin isn't it yeah like it is now and I would remind you and 21 00:02:33,400 --> 00:02:38,280 your mother since she's sitting right behind the camera is that be very careful using chemicals 22 00:02:38,280 --> 00:02:43,800 you know that right you're using all your protection some gloves and you've got some alcohol wipes to 23 00:02:43,800 --> 00:02:49,240 clean up afterwards and then wash your hands really good after you've been using them okay good just 24 00:02:49,240 --> 00:02:54,440 just to put that out there because we do want to know that you know she's a young girl and I really 25 00:02:54,440 --> 00:02:59,640 think that the accumulation of chemicals is you know something that we should always be careful of 26 00:02:59,640 --> 00:03:04,760 and I have for a young person I would really make sure they know safety is the most important 27 00:03:04,760 --> 00:03:08,440 so tell us when the first time you made a piece of jewelry what was it do you remember 28 00:03:08,760 --> 00:03:16,920 I think a teardrop earring with lavender gold and silver of glitter in it and the first time I made 29 00:03:16,920 --> 00:03:24,360 it it was last spring break whenever I didn't really have anything to do so I decided mom got this 30 00:03:24,360 --> 00:03:30,760 little kit and we started making earrings and at first we didn't really know how to do it so we 31 00:03:30,760 --> 00:03:40,280 made the first pair but then it um it was still sticky and squishy whenever it finished so we had 32 00:03:40,280 --> 00:03:45,880 to research it a lot so we could finally make it right and what do you think the key was with that 33 00:03:45,880 --> 00:03:52,200 was it temperature or was it the mixture wasn't right or what did you kind of like decide was that 34 00:03:52,200 --> 00:03:57,000 because I've had that happen to me like for sure I've had it like why didn't that work you know I 35 00:03:57,000 --> 00:04:04,760 I'm very careful but sometimes it happens yeah so we always do we try to do the same amount of resin 36 00:04:04,760 --> 00:04:11,640 right part a and part b in the same amount and but sometimes it doesn't work because we don't mix it 37 00:04:11,640 --> 00:04:17,880 longer right because a and b don't mix very well so you have to make something like five minutes 38 00:04:17,880 --> 00:04:22,920 until it's finally ready to pour yeah and then do you have problems with bubbles how do you get rid 39 00:04:22,920 --> 00:04:29,640 of your bubbles well it's one of the worst problems that we have because they're always there and then 40 00:04:29,640 --> 00:04:36,840 we can't really sell them a lot because like there's bubbles and people don't want like holes in them 41 00:04:36,840 --> 00:04:43,800 right because so we use like a little needle to pop them right and then like if there's bubbles we 42 00:04:43,800 --> 00:04:50,760 sometimes put so there's like where you put this part in like the little loop yeah you have to make 43 00:04:50,760 --> 00:04:59,720 sure that it's secure and like it's connected right so sometimes there's a bubble there and a little 44 00:04:59,720 --> 00:05:07,880 pop so then it gets there and there's a hole so we have to like put more in there right right fill 45 00:05:07,880 --> 00:05:15,080 in that hole so that's yeah redo it we're just now have you ever tried the uv resin that you use in 46 00:05:15,080 --> 00:05:21,000 the sun no i don't know okay well there's a couple little tricks about that it's number one it's a 47 00:05:21,000 --> 00:05:27,320 little bit more expensive but it it's like instantly cured so i'll have to get you some of that but 48 00:05:28,040 --> 00:05:33,560 you just have a bottle and the bottle is dark like there's no light coming in and i'm telling you that 49 00:05:33,560 --> 00:05:38,280 because one time i bought some and it was like a brown bottle that you can kind of see through and 50 00:05:38,280 --> 00:05:45,720 i had it by a window and it got totally solid so it cures by the uv so either i take it outside on a 51 00:05:45,720 --> 00:05:50,840 sunny day but they also have this little these little boxes that you put your manicure you put 52 00:05:50,840 --> 00:05:57,480 your fingers into cure the manicure when it's gel uh it's like a gel resin and that cures it but it 53 00:05:57,480 --> 00:06:02,840 cures really fast but the trick is you can't have anything you can't have like where you pour the 54 00:06:02,840 --> 00:06:08,040 resin and then you put something on top because the sunlight wouldn't get into that area where it's 55 00:06:08,040 --> 00:06:12,360 on top so you kind of have to think it through like okay if there's not going to be any light 56 00:06:12,360 --> 00:06:16,520 that's going to go through this thing i'll cure it first and then maybe i just glue that thing on 57 00:06:16,520 --> 00:06:22,200 it's a little bit of tricks like that but um the uv resin is really fun to use because it's especially 58 00:06:22,200 --> 00:06:26,840 for like like i like a got a little like a little bubble or something like that you just need like a 59 00:06:26,840 --> 00:06:32,440 little tiny bit to fill in you can just put that little tiny bot in there take it outside done and 60 00:06:32,440 --> 00:06:36,920 it's like done it literally will be cured in like five minutes and then it's like your bubble problem 61 00:06:36,920 --> 00:06:42,200 is fixed so see i can i'm so happy i can teach you something because i know that you're learning 62 00:06:43,000 --> 00:06:48,280 a lot i want to see some of the pieces that you brought to show me because you know i also haven't 63 00:06:48,280 --> 00:06:52,280 since you're doing resin you can go ahead and i'm gonna start so i'm looking so you're doing resin 64 00:06:52,280 --> 00:06:58,520 i have another friend of mine she takes flowers and dips them into resin have you seen that before 65 00:06:58,520 --> 00:07:05,480 and then turns them into flower earrings yeah so my grandma i think she had been telling me 66 00:07:05,480 --> 00:07:10,360 whenever like the bluebonnets came out on our property we could pick them on our property 67 00:07:10,360 --> 00:07:16,120 and then like put them in the earrings right but then i thought that's because i don't make like 68 00:07:16,120 --> 00:07:21,800 the big earrings i make like the skinny earrings i'd be hard to put it hard to put it in right or 69 00:07:21,800 --> 00:07:26,280 else it'd be like really big earrings and that wouldn't look good right and your earrings are 70 00:07:26,280 --> 00:07:33,080 really colorful and pretty so show me about so show me okay so this is your packaging oh look at these 71 00:07:34,680 --> 00:07:40,440 but this is my new one i started with okay so i just have to show everybody so they're adorable 72 00:07:40,440 -->

like nothing 80 00:08:33,800 --> 00:08:41,480 okay so these are really adorable oh i'm so proud and these are christmas light bulbs like lightbulb 81 00:08:41,480 --> 00:08:47,160 right light bulb kind of earrings and those are really cute what do you think has been the hardest 82 00:08:47,160 --> 00:08:52,920 part about learning and to make jewelry like what is number one your packaging is adorable did you 83 00:08:52,920 --> 00:08:59,400 make these yourselves uh well something you know then the the packaging like you came up with them 84 00:08:59,400 --> 00:09:06,200 in yourself so mama she helped me with a lot of that stuff because i i'm not totally into that 85 00:09:06,200 --> 00:09:11,960 and like i can't even help myself yes you're learning that's all so it's hard but i like i try to 86 00:09:11,960 --> 00:09:20,520 tell her like the design i like on there and oh that's so cute like seriously y'all when mom bought 87 00:09:20,520 --> 00:09:28,280 like these little boxes like the for like um your for school uh where you put your pencils in but 88 00:09:28,280 --> 00:09:34,760 instead it's like they don't sell like the valentine's ones don't sell or the christmas ones don't 89 00:09:34,760 --> 00:09:39,720 sell we'll separate them and put them in different boxes so when it comes back to time oh you have 90 00:09:39,720 --> 00:09:47,560 it all organized that's right yeah so it's not as much work okay so this is our cute little 91 00:09:47,560 --> 00:09:55,880 jocke lanterns and i love it that you've used some um actually you put a little bit of green it looks 92 00:09:55,880 --> 00:10:01,880 like a little bit on the top thing there that's even really cute these are adorable so tell me 93 00:10:01,880 --> 00:10:08,440 about your pricing and who are you who was your customer uh well i don't remember who my first 94 00:10:08,440 --> 00:10:15,320 customer was because that was like a long time ago but i think i started giving them to like my 95 00:10:15,320 --> 00:10:21,240 friend so they could like show people this and stuff and then they could wear them like isn't 96 00:10:21,240 --> 00:10:27,400 that smart so you automatically knew create a demand because the people are wearing them other 97 00:10:27,400 --> 00:10:33,560 people will see them and then they'll want more and then you can sell more so you're are you selling 98 00:10:33,560 --> 00:10:39,800 these mostly to your teachers and to your other your fellow students no not just those people 99 00:10:39,800 --> 00:10:45,640 i do it to like a lot of people like mom's friends and stuff like that and what and tell me about 100 00:10:45,640 --> 00:10:50,440 your pricing so are they all one price or do you have different pricings for all different prices 101 00:10:50,440 --> 00:10:56,600 because like there's small ones like these little bunnies and then there's these big light bulbs that 102 00:10:56,600 --> 00:11:06,760 i'll have yeah so these are the little the little bunnies are 11 they're really so i very cute and 103 00:11:06,760 --> 00:11:13,800 then the bigger bunnies are 14 so you're doing it mostly you're pricing it kind of by size the size 104 00:11:13,800 --> 00:11:19,400 is depending on on your thing but your little your your work is really beautiful you've done a really 105 00:11:19,400 --> 00:11:24,600 good job and now are you having if you have any other problems that are like kind of like the 106 00:11:24,600 --> 00:11:28,840 tricky parts that you find about making jewelry because it's easy to make jewelry the harder part 107 00:11:28,840 --> 00:11:35,240 is selling it do you find that to be kind of true not really hard but like you can make more you 108 00:11:35,240 --> 00:11:40,040 could just keep making and making and making but you gotta sell them right yeah because it's a tricky 109 00:11:40,040 --> 00:11:46,680 part so now that baseball and softball are coming up i had a bunch of people last year and this year 110 00:11:46,680 --> 00:11:53,160 told me that i should do like a bunch of used in asterisks or other sides but uh so i think 111 00:11:53,160 --> 00:11:58,600 we're gonna get more loads because we don't have that many um loads that are like baseball 112 00:11:58,600 --> 00:12:03,480 they're softballs but we had to get the perfect color and it took a long time to get the perfect 113 00:12:03,480 --> 00:12:10,840 color for the softball now another thing that you could even expand on this because you can put 114 00:12:10,840 --> 00:12:18,200 paper so you could print out paper or cut paper or i actually print out on clear transparency paper 115 00:12:18,200 --> 00:12:23,240 you know clear it's like clear film and you can run it through the printer and then you can put any 116 00:12:23,240 --> 00:12:28,840 kind of an image that you want on that and then cut it out and put it into your sea or head just 117 00:12:28,840 --> 00:12:35,640 exploded didn't it because you could like take a picture of that blue bonnet and now you print it out 118 00:12:35,640 --> 00:12:41,320 on that paper either regular paper works or clear paper and then it looks like there's actually a 119 00:12:41,320 --> 00:12:45,800 blue bonnet in there without there actually and then you could keep doing it over and over and over 120 00:12:45,800 --> 00:12:51,480 and over and over again again and then you can see the other and then you can see the other 121 00:12:51,480 --> 00:12:59,560 and then you can see the other without um i don't know if i have any is in there but here here's 122 00:12:59,560 --> 00:13:07,320 another thing so these are this is clear resin and i just any kind of a any kind of a circle or 123 00:13:07,320 --> 00:13:13,320 anything like that doesn't have a hole in it so these aren't jump rings right so they're complete 124 00:13:13,320 --> 00:13:19,240 the circle down. You then you can fill it in with resin and then you just put in these are like 125 00:13:19,240 --> 00:13:23,640 stones but you could put anything in the resin that way. I could blow your mind. Come spend 30 126 00:13:23,640 --> 00:13:28,920 minutes with me at my studio and I'll really teach you some tricks but I think that your selection 127 00:13:28,920 --> 00:13:34,600 of glitters are perfect. So do you have a lot of glitter now? Yeah I have a lot. I started with 128 00:13:34,600 --> 00:13:41,160 little like little things kind of like boxes but they're really small right to us and they only had 129 00:13:41,160 --> 00:13:45,880 a little bit of glitter in them so we started to get different types of glitter. We got bigger 130 00:13:45,880 --> 00:13:52,360 glitter that we mixed in with the resin and then we got like the sprinkles and like. Oh those are 131 00:13:52,360 --> 00:14:03,560 so cute. Are these candy ones? No they're not. Oh okay but sprinkles work too like candy sprinkles. 132 00:14:03,560 --> 00:14:09,560 Those are so cute but you know I love hearts. We do sprinkles. We do things that look like sprinkles. 133 00:14:09,720 --> 00:14:16,520 I think that looks so cute. Yeah see like some sprinkles. Yeah so they're not really sprinkles. 134 00:14:16,520 --> 00:14:22,120 Those are actually like so where are you where do you buy your your sprinkles and things? 135 00:14:22,120 --> 00:14:32,600 Mom buys them online. She doesn't want money though because sometimes we um so Easter it was we had to 136 00:14:32,600 --> 00:14:38,200 buy new earring modes but then when it you couldn't find the regular earring mode so we had to use 137 00:14:39,400 --> 00:14:43,560 like my money because she usually buys them because I let her work for free. 138 00:14:43,560 --> 00:14:55,320 And maybe she gets to wear jewelry for free. Yeah polymer clay. Oh little sprinkles yeah 139 00:14:55,320 --> 00:14:58,920 yeah that's they're not real but you can use real ones and then they're fun to eat too. 140 00:14:59,880 --> 00:15:07,000 You can even use like I made a jewelry I made jewelry one time using the Lucky Charms but it 141 00:15:07,000 --> 00:15:11,160 was all they had like little the green marshmallows it was all green marshmallows but I went for 142 00:15:11,160 --> 00:15:16,040 St. Patrick's Day and then I got to eat the rest of them but I didn't have it. It's white 143 00:15:16,040 --> 00:15:20,360 out right. Don't tell your mother that but you're not going to eat polymer clay ones. 144 00:15:21,160 --> 00:15:27,640 Okay so and how what is oh I love these Fourth of July kites those are really good the blue and the 145 00:15:28,840 --> 00:15:34,200 do you do a really good job and all of your findings look really nice and your packaging is 146 00:15:34,200 --> 00:15:38,680 beautiful and your prices are really good. Do you have a hard time deciding if it's going to be gold 147 00:15:38,680 --> 00:15:46,280 or silver? Well we have to just buy like new rosemary gold because it matched together because 148 00:15:46,280 --> 00:15:51,320 we have like a rosemary gold color and so it wouldn't look good if you like put silver or gold with 149 00:15:51,320 --> 00:15:56,280 it so we have to get rosemary gold jumps and hoops and things so we can put them together. 150 00:15:56,280 --> 00:16:00,840 So now you have the three colors you have the rose gold silver or red or gold so people can 151 00:16:00,840 --> 00:16:06,200 order them from you in the in different color creations that they want maybe to match an 152 00:16:06,200 --> 00:16:15,080 outfit. Yeah but like on Facebook I have a little page and it's I have earrings but since they're 153 00:16:15,080 --> 00:16:21,640 like earrings and they're kind of just put glitter in it you know you can I can have more than one 154 00:16:21,640 --> 00:16:30,200 person want them so I would make new ones but then whenever it came to Halloween I had those pumpkins 155 00:16:30,200 --> 00:16:35,400 and I had a bunch of different kinds of pumpkins like the ones with the alcohol and glitter and 156 00:16:35,400 --> 00:16:44,040 different types of glitter and so I had to put numbers on them and it went up to like 15 or 20 157 00:16:44,040 --> 00:16:50,440 and people started asking me is this how much they are and I was like no because I have a bunch of 158 00:16:50,440 --> 00:16:55,480 these pumpkins and if you want a certain pumpkin you can say you want that one so I don't get it 159 00:16:55,480 --> 00:17:02,280 mixed up with the other pumpkins. Right right now how do you how do you get inspired isn't she adorable? 160 00:17:02,280 --> 00:17:11,480 100% adorable 100% 110% adorable yeah so how do you find molds that you like that you go oh yeah 161 00:17:11,480 --> 00:17:17,000 that's perfect for like that's perfect for 4th of July and these hoops are really great too 162 00:17:17,000 --> 00:17:21,640 and the trick is not over filling right they're the molds what else have you learned that's 163 00:17:22,200 --> 00:17:30,040 a good trick to teach people? Yeah if I do like a lot of mold I do a lot of resin in the mold 164 00:17:30,040 --> 00:17:36,280 then they start to like stick together and so we have to like cut them with scissors so they 165 00:17:36,280 --> 00:17:41,960 aren't like together right because they always have like extra parts on them right yeah now do 166 00:17:41,960 --> 00:17:47,560 you buy two molds so that you make two earrings at the same time? No there's actually molds that 167 00:17:47,560 --> 00:17:53,320 have like double yeah I already they're ready for you and then in these here that have like the hoops 168 00:17:53,320 --> 00:17:59,880 with the middle these ones came in like a bigger one so there was like two or three pairs on them 169 00:18:00,440 --> 00:18:08,920 but these there were also like different shapes on there like small ones. Aw you are so good I'm 170 00:18:08,920 --> 00:18:14,840 so proud and and your paper is actually kind of got a rainbow paper on your Kate's creations is that 171 00:18:14,840 --> 00:18:20,520 your idea too because it looks really nice? The rainbow so it just makes it stand out it makes 172 00:18:20,520 --> 00:18:27,400 it pop more than just white right and brown and it also yeah and it also just kind of it gives a 173 00:18:27,400 --> 00:18:32,360 little bit of like the whole thing looks better because of that rainbow on there don't you think? 174 00:18:33,800 --> 00:18:40,600 Yeah because it kind of was it's not too bright of a color. Yeah so I have all of your friends 175 00:18:40,600 --> 00:18:46,600 bought earrings from you now pretty much? Well they don't I started giving them for like three 176 00:18:46,600 --> 00:18:53,880 because they're friends right and then they started mistreating them not probably so they were 177 00:18:54,520 --> 00:18:59,000 like they were losing them and throwing them in the trash because I can't find them so I decided 178 00:18:59,480 --> 00:19:03,480 that I'm not going to give them anymore for free they're gonna have to start paying them because 179 00:19:03,480 --> 00:19:08,200 so you that's a really big thing to learn that realize if people don't pay for them then they 180 00:19:08,200 --> 00:19:12,040 don't appreciate them as much but if they pay something for them then they appreciate them 181 00:19:12,040 --> 00:19:16,600 and then they but accidents do happen but they should have said hey I lost an earring can you 182 00:19:16,600 --> 00:19:21,720 make another one and then that would have been the right thing to do instead of just throwing them away 183 00:19:21,720 --> 00:19:28,360 like it's not a big deal. Oh I'm so sorry that happened to you that is people just don't understand 184 00:19:28,360 --> 00:19:34,680 do they like all that all the effort and you're very talented obviously in all of this what's the 185 00:19:34,680 --> 00:19:41,880 next thing you want to learn how to make so you're good at earrings. So I want to make like necklaces 186 00:19:41,880 --> 00:19:48,680 with the resin and like coasters because I haven't like started doing that yet. 187 00:19:50,680 --> 00:19:56,200 So yeah because I saw some coasters recently I was in a store and I'm like look how cute those 188 00:19:56,200 --> 00:20:04,200 are like they're really cute like. I see like wherever the hair stuff is and the body carries 189 00:20:04,200 --> 00:20:10,840 I see like little boxes that are made from resin and glitter. Right now you're seeing it everywhere 190 00:20:10,840 --> 00:20:16,280 when you realize how much resin there is in the world. It is an amazing little product that we can 191 00:20:16,280 --> 00:20:22,440 like use. See right behind us see these big things right here that's just resin and it's in cake mold 192 00:20:22,440 --> 00:20:30,840 silicone cake molds. Cake molds? Yeah sure anything that could be a mold right uh yeah so I I do 193 00:20:30,840 --> 00:20:39,320 I do use a lot of resin in a lot of things because I I love using resin I used it probably yesterday 194 00:20:40,360 --> 00:20:44,600 and it's a quick thing so I definitely want to I want to circle back and I want to show you some 195 00:20:44,600 --> 00:20:49,160 about the UV resin. Is there anything else you want to tell us about your business number one 196 00:20:49,160 --> 00:20:55,720 I'm really impressed by you you're you're a beautiful young woman and your your work is impeccable 197 00:20:55,720 --> 00:21:01,960 and you've done a really great job and I'm just so proud of you and so what's next on the horizon 198 00:21:01,960 --> 00:21:09,800 we're gonna do some necklaces necklaces are next okay but like for the price I I don't just take 199 00:21:09,800 --> 00:21:19,480 cast I also take vinyl on it okay oh you're selling them in a store now well not a store but I started 200 00:21:19,480 --> 00:21:26,120 selling them at Busted Oaks and there was this little girl there and she was looking at her mom 201 00:21:26,120 --> 00:21:31,720 was going to buy her some but she won it because they weren't clip-ons but I want people to know 202 00:21:31,720 --> 00:21:36,520 that they're clip-ons I just don't know what to do because some people want clip-ons and some people 203 00:21:36,520 --> 00:21:46,120 don't so it's hard so I started I started we did earring without the um loops in them yet 204 00:21:46,120 --> 00:21:52,600 because we were showing them because if they want it so we just leave them for later and if they 205 00:21:52,600 --> 00:21:58,760 want to clip-ons we could put them up but then they were wondering about that because they like you 206 00:21:58,760 --> 00:22:07,240 don't just do earrings without the poops right right right the hooks or the jump rings the hooks 207 00:22:07,240 --> 00:22:16,680 the jump rings right oh my gosh you do that clip-ons when she's gone to like Busted Oaks they had a 208 00:22:16,680 --> 00:22:23,880 crash though so she had a booth at a crash show and then now she has her collection at a hair salon 209 00:22:23,880 --> 00:22:31,240 in Cali I'm so proud of you you're my competition I have to kill you 210 00:22:31,240 --> 00:22:41,000 so I also own the hair place Aston's hair place and Aston's in Lawn Sapphire and 211 00:22:42,760 --> 00:22:49,080 I sold them for like one dollar more there because she's letting me do it there so I can't 212 00:22:49,720 --> 00:22:55,160 like not give her anything right whenever they sell right so every pair that sells she'll get 213 00:22:55,160 --> 00:23:01,320 like a dollar too okay and then maybe she'd get a free pair earrings too yeah especially donated 214 00:23:01,320 --> 00:23:08,280 some to Busted Oaks oh that's great they have a good for out there yeah and donations are good 215 00:23:08,280 --> 00:23:13,720 too to give right because then people see your jewelry that might not have either seen it somewhere 216 00:23:13,720 --> 00:23:18,520 else and I do a lot of donations too well I would love to see your glitter collection because it 217 00:23:18,520 --> 00:23:24,120 must be really big I have a big one too I can't help it I love glitter I mean even my paintings 218 00:23:24,120 --> 00:23:31,080 all have glitter in them did you see all that I use lots of glitter it's it's the thing although 219 00:23:31,080 --> 00:23:36,040 some countries are stopping are stopping to make glitter did you know that because it ends up in the 220 00:23:36,040 --> 00:23:42,920 ocean so I'm really careful when I use glitter like outside when I'm painting to really make sure 221 00:23:42,920 --> 00:23:47,320 it doesn't land on the ground or we like vacuum the ground up so that doesn't end up in the lake 222 00:23:47,320 --> 00:23:56,120 so now glitters I I can tell you I once had a five pound bag of glitter and now I only have like 223 00:23:56,760 --> 00:24:02,040 a teaspoon left I've been used it it was just like my favorite glitter can you imagine going 224 00:24:02,040 --> 00:24:07,160 through a five pound bag of glitter now it's taken me years but what I do is I even if I'm not 225 00:24:07,160 --> 00:24:13,160 putting glitter in something I'll put a tiny bit of glitter in there just so it breaks up all the 226 00:24:13,160 --> 00:24:18,040 bubbles when you're stirring it I kind of think it breaks up the helps break up the bubbles just to 227 00:24:18,040 --> 00:24:23,400 give it a little something but you know that's so do you put your glitter in before so I have 228 00:24:23,400 --> 00:24:29,400 different types of glitter so it depends on what type I use right I stir in with the resin and then 229 00:24:29,400 --> 00:24:36,200 for some of it I put in the most I started kind of weird because I started rubbing it against the 230 00:24:36,200 --> 00:24:41,400 mold but then it started staying there instead of coming off so I haven't done that anymore because 231 00:24:41,400 --> 00:24:47,640 then there'd be straight color in there that where it's supposed to be right yes for sure yeah and 232 00:24:47,640 --> 00:24:54,440 then really wash those molds really well so you keep keep them in maintain around the heart yeah 233 00:24:55,400 --> 00:24:58,200 now the next thing I gotta teach you another thing is how to make a mold 234 00:24:59,400 --> 00:25:06,440 it's gonna blow your mind oh I did I show you how to make a mold with the silicone mold oh well 235
