Bacon bits is just happy to be there. He doesn't care he's a failure

I'm just gonna come out and say it, this should be a mini-series where you just find random things, and go "hmm, I wonder what this would look like mixed into resin" and we all watch it and see how it turns out. I've already discovered a couple cost effective alternatives to commercial dyes!

Edit: Also, as a suggestion, I wonder what chili powder looks like...

[aleeshakrieg]

The highlighter was awesome. Would love to see what the other colors of highlighters would look like.

- Instant coffee
- Milk powder
- Rust
- Ash
- Charcoal dust

[LuckyCoinFrog]

Can you create dyes from things found in your backyard? Like smushed leaves, berries, flowers, or even rust? That would be so cool!

Resin + highlighter fluid + the right molds = some kickass Halloween props.

Should have tried that matcha japanese tea powder

Peter: *sees Bac'n-Bits suspended in resin* "That's pretty nasty."

Also Peter: *eats pulverized Cheeto off the tip of a popsicle stick*

Milked a highlighter? I have highlighters Greg. Do you think you could milk mine?

[StarryUmbra]

Me: "oh he's gonna crush the crayon up"
*pulls out a blow torch*
Me: "ok well"

Highlighter River Table sounds like an awesome project....

[B_Skizzle]

If you decide to do a third edition, how about cinnamon?

[MysteryLullaby]

Could you try ground up dried out flower petals? I know when I ground up my rose petals (I added some salt to help grind) I ended up with a very fine pigment that I used for painting.

Color ideas:
-Google “eyeshadow polymer clay” for info on using makeup.
-Google “Kool-Aid dyeing wool” for food color recipes.
-Gel food colors like Wilton have less water in them.
-If you can get it, Big Red soda. It’s so heavily pigmented, it stains Formica.
-Celestial Seasoning teas, especially the fruit Zingers.
-Check the clearance at Ulta for cheap eyeshadows. Daiso is also good.
-Budget drugstore makeup brands like Wet n’ Wild are good.
-Ask someone you know who uses makeup if they have old eyeshadow they can’t bear to throw away but don’t use any more.

Heres a challenge, make a resin crystal ball, with some mystical colors swirling maybe, then mold your hand as a holder for it in the quick set mold. Drill out the middle of the hand and put some LED lights in it so it lights up the crystal ball! This would be absolutely amazing!

[lochnessica]

I would love to see you use nail powders for this. They're only a couple dollars online and you can get really cool holographic and multi chromes.

[MrsInAbox]

The bacon bits and cheetos gave surprisingly cool effects.

Can you do holographic or multichrome powder?

Next time try fruits and vegetables. Dehydrate them and grind them up. Berries would probably be best but what about beets, carrot or peppers.

[amandaharum]

You should make a whole project with the highlighter as a dye! That would be so cool!
