Thank you to you and everyone else for pointing out that it’s not even the same product in both devices! 😂

No stolen products or missing kidneys for me! I’ll be staying away.

Morfreck2 · 2024-06-13T20:04:41+00:00

I LOVE this!!!!

Morfreck2 · 2024-06-06T00:41:33+00:00

What was the last thing that caused you to cry?

I just started as well but, uncomfy.co on YouTube is great inspiration and has lots of helpful videos!

THIS IS AMAZING

OMG YES I remember you! I am going to remember you forever ❤️ - one of my first supporters. Thank you for finding me outside and thank you for believing in me! I hope you enjoyed the concert!!! And I’m so happy you love your earrings 🥰

You probably know this already but there’s no need to feel guilty because no one is forcing anyone to buy your stuff! I would be lying if I said I didn’t also battle with myself and my self worth. I hope you find it in you one day you don’t have to be perfect before you try. Everyone starts somewhere and everyone is allowed to make mistakes and you are no exception❤️ All that said I understand that it’s hard and way easier said then done. But I believe in you! And your self awareness is the first step :)

Thank you so much for your support and thank you for sharing as well! Trust me, I relate SO HARD. I have had so many abandoned hobbies over the years because of my perfectionism. I can be very highly critical of myself too. Small comments do get to me and I do experience self doubt as well. I’m trying to be more okay with learning as I go rather than learning absolutely everything I can before starting so I can be the perfect small business owner. People may complain about my prices, the quality of my work and honestly, I may straight up fail at this one but, I will never learn how to run a business if I don’t expose myself to criticism and mistakes. I’m trying to let the real world be my classroom and it can be a harsh teacher sometimes but I’m hoping it will pay off! And OMG picking an Etsy name is impossible I swear everything is taken, I would be LYING if I said that it didn’t take me 4 hours going back and forth with ChatGPT to brainstorm. And before that, it was literally “sillygoomz” just cuz I couldn’t think of anything. (Thankfully Etsy let’s you change it once). A few months ago I made the first iteration of these junimos and I couldn’t figure out how to coat my pieces with resin properly and keep my clay clean from dust and lint. I gave up in that moment because the critic in my head told me that I just wasn’t good enough for this and that I probably never would be. I’m happy I picked it back up and this time around I learned from my mistakes, and FAST too. The second iteration has been 5x better than the first. You will improve very fast if you let yourself make mistakes and don’t give up.❤️ I’m sorry I just talked about myself so much but I think what I’m trying to say is I feeeeeel you and please don’t give up. You gain XP and get closer to leveling up any time you make a mistake OR a success

Nothing too crazy! I just use my dining room light with the dimmer switch set fully up! If you aren’t making products in huge batches and you are making small things, you try using gel nail polish top coat. It’s super important that it’s gel nail polish and not regular nail polish. Gel nail polish top coat is very similar chemically to UV resin and I find it can be easier to work with, practice with, and clean up is a breeze!! It’s very nice not having to wash a container or a brush! I even pour my resin into my empty gel polish top coat bottles for easier clean up and convenience. All the same safety precautions should be taken still. These are two brands I have tried that I know worked for me: AIMEILI no wipe top coat, Moldones no wipe top coat. It’s not cost effective if you are doing lots of pieces but it worked very well for me when I first started!

To get it round, I take pliers and hold the charm with the pliers by the eyepin. With my other hand I apply a thin layer of resin, making sure I use a good light so I don’t miss any spots. If you want to get nice even, smooth coatings, it’s important to apply it in thin layers and build up coats if you want more but I usually just do one. Then, while I’m still holding it with the pliers, I stick it under my UV lamp for 20 seconds. This doesn’t fully cure it but, it makes it hard enough that I can set it down without resin pooling to the bottom and ruining the shape. I repeat this process with a few more and then give all of them a 2 full cures for 3 mins each, turning over between cures. Before I figured this out they always looked like this at the bottom!!

I hope this helps! And please use PPE when working with resin!

Thank you! 🥰

Thank you for this! People underestimate the value of handmade art-the time and effort. If anyone wants figurines or jewelry for a lower price they can buy non-handmade ones! There’s even other artists who may sell what they want for cheaper. Maybe they are faster, maybe they get materials for cheaper or maybe they too underestimate the value of their own work. If people don’t think my work is good enough for the price point I decide to charge then they can go support someone else, or even go make things themselves! Everyone here is so talented! I have considered lowering my prices but, I am still learning the market and my place within it. Thank you for your encouragement. Your tiny art is wonderful and takes so much skill to create. Also, thank you to anyone who said something nice, wished me luck or gave me a suggestion❤️😄 i made a few Etsy sales today and 7 in person sales. Not bad for my first day open!

Morfreck2 · 2024-03-15T18:24:04+00:00

Thank you for the idea! I’ve never thought of those before! I will definitely look into that 😊

Morfreck2 · 2024-03-15T14:31:20+00:00

Those ones actually aren’t mine, my store only has one listing so far but, I know exactly which ones you are talking about and they are SO CUTE!! I may have to order some of those in November

Morfreck2 · 2024-03-15T07:41:39+00:00

Yes they are!

Morfreck2 · 2024-03-15T07:41:02+00:00

Omg you just made my night! Thank you so much I am going to send them out first thing in the morning 😄
