How Pill Cases Became The Strangest Resin Moulds

I just imagined you lying in bed, deathly ill, shivering with chills, reaching for the pills with the last of your strength and going: "Wait... I could put some resin in this." 😂😂😂 You're a treasure, Steve.

That was so strange seeing this video come up! I've been using my pill strips to cast resin in and also the packaging from some of my medical supplies for quite a while as part of work for an exhibition focussing on medical trauma and and living with disability and chronic illness. It's really liberating to see something beautiful come out of something that dominates my life. It's so important to me to be able to do this and the best therapy ever for me. Thanks for the video - there are so many materials that we can use for moulds - so many unexpected ones that just make beautiful results x

From America, so sorry you were ill, Steve. As someone else said, shingles definitely ain't for wimps! Glad you're feeling better and good to hear your voice. 💙

Steve take care of yourself my friend. Shingles are the absolute worst. My mom had that and it was a nightmare. It’s usually brought on by stress. Hoping you are not too stressed. You are a wonderful source of joy for so many of us. Thjs is so cool.

Loved the bracelet and earrings. What a great idea for making your own sets. You could make a set to match every outfit with this technique. The bone shaped key holder was a great idea too. Shingles are awful, glad you're feeling better now.

Man! I'm so sorry that you have been sick! I have Addison's disease so I know what it's like to get sick a lot. You are so cool though because you think just like me! I look at EVERYTHING like, "how can I use this in my art?". Lol I'm glad you don't let it get you down and you still share your awesome ideas with us! Thanks so much! You inspire me!! ❤❤😊😊

Those packagings work so well don't they. They work well for making silicone inlays too. Oh heck Steve I didn't know you'd been so ill. Glad you're better

Wow, I didn't know regular plastic could be used for resin...thank's for sharing !!! Fortunately you are feeling better now - this disease is really bad. 💚

Oh Steve I adore your attitude! Suffer a horrid virus like shingles and turn it into a positive by building something beautiful from the medicine packaging!! I’m on sick leave with my mental health and this idea gave me such a lovely warm feeling so thank you so much for that x

Brilliant Steve!!! I'm so glad you're better. I was praying for you.

Glad you are feeling better ,Steve. Your video was perfect timing! I was looking at some packages and wondering if I could use them but couldn’t afford to waste resin if it failed. Steve to the rescue!

Shingles is not for whimps. God bless you glad your feeling better.

Thanks Steve that’s a brilliant idea to use the pill packets for earrings and bracelets love them❤❤

Opening my mind's eyes you are, Steve.

So sorry to hear about your illness. Happy to see you are recovered. My father suffered when he had shingles, it was so hard to see this huge strong man in such pain. Leave it to you,the eternal optimist to find beauty while in pain. Thank you for sharing.😊

So sorry to hear about your illness.I do make jewellery with empty pill mold .Really easy to use.

Glad you are doing better. I'm wondering if using a light coating of mold release would help?

Nice to see you up and well again. A tip for everyone who wants to use plastic packaging as molds. Plastic and plastic is not the same an some will stick to your resin and won't be separable. There are little triangles made of arrows with a number inside in most of your plastic containers. The ones with the 5 inside (Polypropylene) work really well. Others not so much (I haven't tried all sorts, it's a bit trial and error)

Yikes! Shingles! I hope you get better soon!!

So sorry you have been ill....glad youre doing better now! Those pieces came out great!! Very nice <3
