I disagree they are "better". I think it's culture related as in don't do something unless you're good, and if you're not, have the self-respect to not post until you are.
Unlike western culture where it's post all your crap, you're a special snowflake so people will like it even if it's not perfect!! I've also noticed western tutorials are made by newbies, while Japanese tutorials are made by the experienced.

>I heard you can put UV resin out in the sunlight to cure, those of you who have done it, how long does it take?

When I tested the Daiso UV resin I set it outside in the sun and it was probably cured in 10 minutes or less since it was a pretty thin layer. The packaging says 5-30 depending on how strong the sunlight is.

I'm honestly not sure since it was just a test and I usually use epoxy. It was a very thin layer just to see how it works, not in a mold or anything. I did it late morning when the sun was high and pretty hot though.

Quality is also culture related. If you've ever been to Japan, you can easily tell quality over quantity is engrained in their culture. They are very much image based and this is evidenced by everyone having an iphone (because quality=price right?). This is also seen in their secondhand market, items must be in pristine condition. Using cheap quality materials looks cheap, and no one wants that.
Needless to say, it isn't so in the West, especially America imo.

I like to buy a bunch of those decorative photoboxes from Michael's to display my stuff on, and store them in. Today I'm trying something new and putting it on one of my actual main pieces.

The cross charm is much more reflective than the gold painted resin, so I'm fighting to find and angle that doesn't look like it's gleaming holy light at me, lol.
Maybe that could be a selling point, though. I honestly like that it does that.

[Anonymous No.9212536]

I'd recommend either getting a light box to distribute the light evenly, along with natural light if you do have that luxury, or do one of those short gif videos to show how sparkly it is. They're pretty cheap on amazon and ebay or you can make one out of a cardboard box and white paper.

[Anonymous No.9212538]

It's sadly 3am here so the natural light isn't much of an option, but generally I di a mix of both and they usually turn out pretty nicely. I'm looking up making a lightbox though. Thanks for the tip!

>>9213567
Not to mention the difference in content. Maybe I just have bad luck with crafting books, but 90% of the ones I've seen at the library are self-aggrandising pieces of shit. It's all variations on 'Maek a totez cool bag from a used pillowcase and this dog-chewed slipper I found in the dump!!! Glue shit onto bottlecaps to decorate it l8tr so you fit in with all the kool kidz!!1!'. Japanese ones, at least the ones I've seen scans of online/own, seem to be more focused on explaining how to make somewhat functional cute shit.

And no, I don't think Japan is perfect and superior, I've just seen one too many published books that told people to use hot glue or safety pins instead of sewing, and that insist that not sealing rusty 'finds' like old spoons and your local druggie's discarded needles is fine, since it helps maintain the boho vintage shabby chic aesthetique of your upcycled statement necklace.

Yeah and I see people making syringe necklaces and whatever which is gross too, what's your point?

Honestly these threads are always full of ass pats and people saying ugly shit looks good , just because a seagull made it.
I wish these threads were more brutally honest. Con crit helps you improve

Next you should make a resin cast bed pan ~~ totally the same thing right?

I'm not even the OP nice try. I'm just sick of seeing the same boring shit in these threads. Somebody posts something new for once and everybody jumps down their throats

[Anonymous No.9224886]

>>9224852
Listen. I have posted different things and have gotten critiqued for it that wasn't always positive.

Also I doubt you cast that yourself unless you're the seller velvetway since that's their photo. How about posting your own stuff instead of stealing it to get a reaction out of people.

That's fine and dandy if it is your shop. But if you already have an active shop selling it, then why the hell do you care what a bunch of anon on cgl think?

[Anonymous No.9224904]

>>9224900
Then why are you so upset when you recieved negative critiques on your stuff if you wanted your stuff critiqued by anon? Or did you just want anons to give you asspats?

[Anonymous No.9224907]

>>9224904
I didn't get upset, someone is trying to white knight me. I don't really know what's happening but I just wanted some feedback without people knowing who I was, but clearly that's not going to happen here. :/

[Anonymous No.9224909]

>>9224903

Mouths gross me out. But that's also why I said it was personally grossing me out versus making a blanket statement that it's gross. I'm cognizant not everyone is going to think the same way as me.

[Anonymous No.9224910]

>>9224907
It probably would have been a good idea to use a photo that wasn't from your shop if you didn't want people knowing who you were.

[Anonymous No.9224912]

>>9224868
Just because it isn't your taste doesn't mean it's "terrible". Why don't you keep an open mind?

[Anonymous No.9224914]

>>9224853
Have you thought about casting a mold off one of your resin pieces so you don't have to kerp buying a new one every time you want to cast one? It has to be cheaper then buying a new mouth guard every time.

[Anonymous No.9224917]

[Anonymous No.9224937]

>>9224929
I don't have to cast resin to know when something looks bad. Have you ever heard of aesthetics?

[Anonymous No.9224949]

>>9224937
W o w not even someone who works with resin but apparently you're the expert. It may not be your particular style but it's well made. The colors are bright, there aren't any bubbles, the surface is smooth, but I guess none of that matters to the expert here because of aesthetics~~

[Anonymous No.9224951]

>>9224949
You're right, none of that matters. The concept is shit, so it's going to be shit even if it's well executed.

[Anonymous No.9224954]

>>9224802
This looks bad anon. And not because its "different", because the materials you used don't look right for this type of thing. Maybe something thats opaque in a dark color without glitter? Pic related is fangophilia and it works for them because they use good quality metal

[Anonymous No.9224958]

>>9224949
Good execution doesn't always mean a project will be somebody's cup of tea.

There are plenty of people who do teeth based jewelry. Maybe anon should consider changing the look a bit or doing a different kind of design.

[Anonymous No.9224965]

>>9224958
Ok but that is literally anon's argument from above. Just because it's not your style doesn't make it awful. For instance I don't like the necklace in your photo, the teeth freak me out. Doesn't mean it's bad. The other piece is colorful and interesting. Just because you wouldn't personally wear it doesn't make it bad.

It looks like a teal blob at first glance, and once you look closer, it looks like what it is, some kind of old orthodontic garbage

Menhera stuff is supposed to be cute, like cartoony syringes, not actual, literal syringes

[Anonymous No.9225264]

I should. I was thinking of a 'bottling the galaxy' sort of theme but I can see how that's not really related.

Don't have a shop yet unfortunately, but I'm really thinking of making one now! Thank you for your kind words.

>I used my old mouth guard
This is why it's gross

[Anonymous No.9226091]

>>9224802
Honestly, the piece isn't nearly as bad as your whining. If you want concrit, you got it. If you want asspats, go post somewhere else.

Demanding to see other people's work and whining about how you only wanted advice and got meanie-chans instead isn't going to make you look good. You have a damn shop, and a reputation to think of. Learn to take criticism like an adult, ffs.

[Anonymous No.9226168]

>>9226091
I'm not the one who was demanding pics, that was someone else. You can't accuse me of saying things when everything in this thread is anonymous. All I wanted was feedback, someone had to go troll white knight me and fuck up this thread.

[Anonymous No.9226185]

Anyway....

For those curious about the UV resin from daiso that's suppose to have glitter in it. I opened up a tube and either it had no glitter, it's some super tiny glitter, or the glitter is stuck to the bottom of the tube because I emptied out an entire tube and didn't see any noticable glitter.

So I think if there IS any glitter, it's a minuscule amount.

[Anonymous No.9226196]

>>9225341
Maybe in your opinion. I don't see how it's gross at all, the mouth is the most sanitary spot in the human body.

[Anonymous No.9228042]

Anybody have this happen with UV resin? I noticed I kept getting a pocket of air in this mold. I thought maybe I made the first two, too opaque so I just tried plain clear resin. But it still does it even if I get rid of bubbles. Maybe it's just the volume of uv resin at once since I did a single pour. I plan to do thinner layers on the next one to see if that fixes the problem.

[Anonymous No.9228431]

Sorry if this is me asking to be spoonfed but what search words do you use to find premade bows to decorate with? I can only seem to find just ribbons or hair accessories.

[Anonymous No.9230039]

>>9226205
Wouldn't the resin kill any of the bacteria left on it? Also you wouldn't put it back in your mouth once it's done (since it's a positive of the mold now) anyway so I'm not seeing the issue

[Anonymous No.9230093]

>>9228431
If you want the little resin ones. Try bow cabochon or bows for decoden/decoden bows.

[Anonymous No.9230145]

>>9230039
Did you not real the post the anon was responding to? Also the thought itself is gross to many people even if the resin kills the bacteria.
