50] Resin & Acrylic Galaxy Tutorial - Mica Nebula + Dirty Pour Planets - Tips & Techniques

For my very first YouTube video, I made a resin nebula with an acrylic background and mica powders ... for THIS video (my 50th) I wanted to improve on that otherworldly look and add fluid acrylic pouring to the mix. I've taken advantage of the layering that's possible with resin to make a really 3D galaxy.
This video is full of tips, step-by-step instruction, a dirty pour swirl and sparkly goodness! (giggle)

▪️ Perfect Pearls mica powders: http://amzn.to/2xZSeyq and http://amzn.to/2xZM69u

▪️ Artist's Loft Iridescent Medium and Flow Acrylic Black (but ANY black paint and white (or twinkly) paints you have will work!)

▪️ Miscellaneous paints for the acrylic skins

▪️ Eye shadow mica powders (ordered from eBay ... They will take a couple of weeks to receive since they come from China) : https://ebay.to/2FXfiiK
(They are LESS than a dollar each!! And that INCLUDES shipping!! Seriously, I LOVE them!)

▪️ Super sparkly white mica (larger particle size than Perfect Pearls)... this was a gift but will hunt down a source.

▪️ This was done on a shallow wooden "frame/canvas" available from Michaels.com : https://goo.gl/3dod3Q


= For MIXING RESIN in THIS video:

▪️ My favorite silicone mixing cup (100 ml) with spout: http://amzn.to/2FU8xyc

▪️ 30 ml medicine cups: http://amzn.to/2yYE92E

▪️ Ziplock bags are available in just about any size you need... For this small canvas, I used 1x2" bags. Typical sizes are also 2x2", 2x3", 3x5". If you need larger quantities, using a cup might be as easy or easier.


Thank you in advance for watching the videos, sharing them, commenting and leaving a thumbs up. Your kindness helps my channel continue and it is all greatly appreciated! May the alcohol inks, resin, and paints be kind, and may the pours be with you. 😊💕
