I’ve been playing with glow-in-the-dark pigment for my latest beginner resin project, and it reminded me how much one special-effect colourant can completely change a very simple make. So, if you could choose just one effect to experiment with next, which would it be? 🌙 Glow in the dark 🦎 Chameleon or colour-shift ✨ Interference or iridescent ☀️ UV- or heat-reactive 🤍 Metallic or pearl And what would you make with it? With Christmas projects starting to creep onto our craft tables, even a simple shape, keyring or decoration can feel completely different with the right colour effect. If you’re not sure which colourants work best in resin, have a look at the Quick Guide to Resin Colourants in the course resources. Your Project & Cure Log is also handy for recording how much you used, because “I’ll definitely remember” is usually the first step towards never remembering at all! 😂 Pop your chosen effect and project idea in the comments. Your answers might even give me a few ideas for future demonstrations. CRAFT ♥ LEARN ♥ CONNECT ♥ BELONG

Craft Hub news, crafting, pets and other nonsense. Lovely to see Sheri and Deb and my wing-man, Jens :) Now on replay in the Live Q&A replays in the Classroom

Just a reminder that I’ll be live in the Craft Hub tomorrow, Tuesday 13 October, at 7pm UK time. This time, I’d love everyone to bring just ONE thing to share or ask about. It could be: • a recent make you’re pleased with • a project that has misbehaved • a question from the UV resin courses • something you’d like me to demonstrate • or an idea you’re considering for the Christmas collaboration If you have a troublesome piece, a photo is absolutely fine—you don’t need to wave sticky resin at the camera! 😂 Please add your question or project to the comments beforehand if you can. That gives me time to gather anything useful from the workbooks, colourant guide, Bubble Rescue Guide or other Hub resources. Can’t join us live? Leave your question below anyway and I’ll do my best to cover it. So, what’s the ONE thing you’d like us to look at tomorrow? CRAFT ♥ LEARN ♥ CONNECT ♥ BELONG

Having worked through this App, I can highly recommend it. It has features coming out of its ears that are practical and essential. A great planning tool, a great analysis tool. It certainly stimulates those little grey cells when it comes to planning for craft fairs. It is easy to use, it takes the stress out of planning for your craft fairs and definitely gets you organised. Something I think will be used again and again

A huge well done to everyone who joined in with, supported or watched the Halloween crafting collaboration. I hope it gave you plenty of ideas—and possibly added several more projects to the “I must try that” list! 😂 Before we race straight on to Christmas, I’d love us to pause and share what we learned. Was there a new technique, colour combination or material that worked particularly well? Did something go completely wrong but teach you something useful anyway? Those are often the projects we learn the most from. If you found a resin mixture or colour recipe you loved, this is a good moment to add it to your Project and Cure Log or colour notes before the details disappear from your brain. I speak from experience! Our Christmas crafting collaboration goes live on Sunday 15 November, so there’s still time to plan something without having to craft at full festive panic-speed. Please share below: • one thing you learned from your Halloween make • one technique you’d use again • or the Christmas project you’re thinking about next Photos are very welcome—even if the project isn’t perfect. We’re here to craft, learn, connect and belong, not pretend everything works first time. CRAFT ♥ LEARN ♥ CONNECT ♥ BELONG
